2005 Hyundai Elantra ve review from North America
"My wife does not like driving it, especially at night, the levers are awkward"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When the car is cold, there is a rattle I beleive comes from the speedometer cable, it gets annoying and as the car warms up it finally disappears.
One of the mouldings on the roof warped, but was replaced.
Because of the tire size (195,60, 15) there is a considerable amount of road noise and you can feel any bumps on the road.
General comments?
This car is peppy, handles well, fairly
comfortable.
When you look under the hood, most things are accessable.
The hatchback offers great cargo capacity.
