2001 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
"Nice style, nice price, falling apart"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The paint finish was flawed. It took three visits to the body shop to get it almost correct.
Master clutch cylinder was replaced at 8,200 miles.
The paint on the front bumper began to peel two weeks after purchase.
General comments?
The dealer takes an 'I don't care' position. When I showed the service manager the flawed paint on the front bumper, he said "You didn't buy a Mercedes, you know".
