2001 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
"Good value and performance at a very reasonable price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Some problems with tires being poorly balanced.
General comments?
Overall, quite happy with the Elantra, it's a very good value. However, the dealership was terrible. They engaged in some false advertising on the prices and complained a lot about the Hyundai corporation. They claimed a need to run up the quoted price on the basis of Hyundai not allowing them any kind of significant markup. Despite this and some minor problems with getting tires balanced, I would certainly buy another Hyundai. It's got good power, is reasonably comfortable, but I recommend you not buy it though a dealer, buy it off the internet, which is what I will do next time.
