2005 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had a issue with a sensor that needed to be replaced. It was causing the RPM's to rise between shifts. I'm not sure that the improvement in performance after replacement was significant enough to warrant my time, or the cost of the rental car while my Elantra was in the shop.
General comments?
This car is peppy, fairly fuel efficient (about 28 MPG with 5-speed in mostly suburban conditions). I like the ergonomics. The quality of materials in the interior and the body build quality are a little low end, but decent; especially factoring in price/warranty. No ABS a major minus.
