2004 Hyundai Elantra VE review from North America
"An ultra reliable, economical car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Replaced the horn!
Right tie rod end.
General comments?
This car and both previous Hyundais were ultra reliable.
My first brake job was at 185000 KM and only the front brakes needed replacing.
They should go back to a timing chain rather than a belt. It is an expensive job every 100000KM.
I am six foot five and 250lbs, and have plenty of room and can even wear a hat!
