2002 Hyundai Elantra gls review from North America
"The Elantra has been a pretty good little car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My clutch began slipping at about 55,000 miles.
The driver's door seal is worn, and when I questioned the dealership about it, they advised that the previous owner had it replaced, so it could not be covered under warranty a second time, even though it was worn out originally before 10,000 miles!
I don't understand if the manufacturer has a "bumper to bumper" warranty, why the repairs that I need to have done don't seem to be covered...
General comments?
Overall, I have been quite happy with the car.
Other than the clutch issue, I've had very little need for repairs from the dealership.
Gas mileage seems to be on the low end for in town driving with the A/C on.
