2006 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
"Dependable transportation without emptying your wallet"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing so far. These cars have come a long way since the 80's.
General comments?
Pros:
Comfortable ride, decent fuel economy, lots of features for the money, reliable.
Cons: Handling a bit sloppy on the curves, transmission is old design from the early 90's, and does not utilize the engine's power as efficiently as it should.
I still have my Audi, but use this car for business. I am happy with my decision to buy this car due to the price ($14,400 with sunroof, traction control, and anti lock brakes when the 07's were available) and its reliability.
