2002 Hyundai Elantra review from UK and Ireland
"Functional, but ugly and handles like a wheelbarrow!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rented the car for 7 days and
nothing significant went wrong over that time. The glove compartment
wouldn't close unless it was slammed
several times though.
General comments?
Drove the car for a week. This is the
first car that I've driven where I've
had to take care when going around
corners... on the motorway! It
wallows like a rocking chair.
The engine had some punch for a 1.6
but boy was it thirsty. A whole tank of fuel (50 litres?) consumed in just 250 miles!
The cabin was comfortable enough and the seats were easy to adjust. However, the heater wouldn't direct hot air onto my feet... I had to rest them on the clutch and brake pedals to revive them.
The looks aren't great. It looks so anonymous. No character at all. The plastic wheel trims don't suit the wheels which makes the car ugly to
look at.
