1995 Hyundai Elantra review from North America
"A big waste of time and money with no value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to have the front end alignment done and 4 new tires put on. The front end alignment was not precise. The mechanic did the best he could but said the car was not able to be completely realigned.
I had to change the timing belt that went on the car while I was 8 hours from home. Then on the way back it jumped time and I had to pay again to have it reset.
The trunk lock has been replaced.
The stereo had to be replaced.
Now the motor has to be replaced at 72,000 miles. What an expense and a rip off.
General comments?
All buyers beware!!! The hyundai is worthless and really sucks. These car's are nothing but problems and a big expense. And if you presently have one and are trying to get rid of it, good luck. When trading these cars in they have very little value. They are in fact disposable cars.
