Faults:

Paint around the side mirrors faded to white.

Rear brakes (145,000km)

Front right strut (165,000) - it had been slotted improperly by the dealer during a wheel alignment.

Miscellaneous bolts needed tightening (strut towers, emergency brake handle, etc)

Exhaust header heat-shield came off.

General Comments:

The car is a little noisy due to a few rattles and such.

Acceleration is terrific and the handling improved when I put on

175/70R13 tires - the added tire width really does make a difference (especially during winter)

Fuel economy is excellent - car is getting 51mpg with synthetic oil and better air filter on the highway.

5 Speed transmission was difficult to shift during winter (temperatures were down below -20C) but this improved significantly when I changed the trans-axle fluid to a slightly thinner synthetic gear oil.

The seats can get a little uncomfortable on long trips, but thanks to the 45L gas tank you have to stop for gas every so often so you can get out and stretch.

Faults:

My outside door handles have broken off and my inside handles had to be replace over and over again and sometimes it rejects when you back up and you puts it in drive.

General Comments:

This car is a very reliable car its good on gas and its very dependable.

Faults:

Rear windows did not open.

Rear door handle did not open from inside.

Outside window frame fell off.

Heater did not work.

One out of four speakers worked.

Dash cover cracked.

Rear seat belt lock, bottom portion of connector fell behind seats.

With all these problems I did not even bother taking it in for repairs or tune ups. I did not even bother with an oil change.

General Comments:

The car was great on gas.

The A/C worked which was surprising for this year, 1995.

Engine/Motor was so loud that my 1 speaker blew.

The car was too easy to change the dash board mileage, which I committed fraud to get the car out of my hands.

This was my first car, it drove easy and had great control, it helped me score a perfect 100% on my G-1 exit drivers test.

Faults:

The car had no stereo to begin with so I had to install one.

Brakes (calipers, rotors, front lines, pads) replaced at 60,000 km wanted to do it all at once.

Hatch Wouldn't close because of rear end accident paid $1700 Canadian (insurance covered) for a new hatch, window, bumper, and paint job.

Regular wearing parts have been replaced.

General Comments:

This car is Amazing, I will only buy Hyundai from now on, I don't understand why so many people hate Hyundai, you cannot kill these cars, I smashed it up and it still drives like new, Kitchener Alpine Hyundai has amazing service, I recommend you to buy cars from them if you want to be treated like a person, not someone who's going to spend money in there establishment.

Hyundai is great.
