2002 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from Australia and New Zealand
"Very impressed!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel leak at 101,000km - replaced under warranty
Front headlights started to fade - replaced under warranty.
Front brakes or suspension loose and noisy - replaced under warranty.
General comments?
This car is a great mid sized car.
It has all the features I need except cruise, passenger air bag and ABS & traction control.
It looks great with good handling and grip to the road.
Fun to drive, with low costs for running and maintenance.
Quite powerful and smooth for a 4 cylinder.
Enough room to support me, with a great sound system, and the cooling and heating system make you feel quite happy.
Transmission sloppy every now and then.
Overall a wonderful, fun car to drive, that not only looks good, but feels good.
