1992 Hyundai Lantra GL review from Australia and New Zealand
"Steer well clear of this make and model"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Crank shaft angle sensor was replaced at 170000.
Cam Belt replaced at 170000.
Radiator replaced at 172000.
All leads replaced at 171000.
Engine now rattling once warmed up.
Whining noise for about 5 minutes after start up.
General comments?
This car likes to gobble up all of my finances from month to month on costly repairs.
I have now been told engine is worn out at only 178,000 after $1500 worth of repairs in 6 months.
Interior seems sturdy and is very comfortable which is a good thing while you are waiting on the side of the highway for a tow truck!!
