2004 Hyundai Elantra VE review from North America
"Pleased with every aspect of this car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Stereo ate a CD - Dealer replaced under warranty.
Tires replaced at 80,000 KM.
Front brakes replaced at 80,000 KM.
General comments?
Loaded for an entry level car. For $5000 less than a comparable Japanese car, I got air, power windows, cruise, and rear cup holders.
Car has proven to be a comfortable and reliable commuter car. Has started every time, even in -30 C weather without an engine block heater.
