1997 Hyundai Coupe SE from UK and Ireland - Comments

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Great looking car, people still turn their heads. But it squeaks and rattles most of the time now (after 35,000 miles). Interior light bulbs keep overheating and burning out, mirror defrost doesn't work, headlight bulbs (I'm on my third set and I don't drive that much at night).

General comments?

Overall, great car, great looks, very poor build quality. Shame, but I won't get another one.

I bought one last November, the steering tugs the car into the hedgerows on country lanes... but is smooth as silk on flat motorways. It tramlines lorry tyre grooves.

Headlamp bulbs keep blowing, clock flashes on and off at will.

Factory CD backlight has a mind of it's own. Even so, it's a great car for long drives.

Hi, I normally post on the 98 model, regarding headlight bulbs, Hyundai did a replacement on headlights not a re-call, on request. Issue was that the earthing of the Factory fit lights was wrong hence bulbs kept blowing.
