1993 Hyundai Elantra review from North America
"Save your money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
When we bought it, it hardly ran. My dad drove it home from 200 miles away and had to hold down the clutch, brake, and gas the entire way. Put $650 of front end work into it to have the timing belt break 5,000 miles later. Still haven't gotten it fixed, mechanics want to charge me $255 for a new belt. Inside of car is in great condition, except for a few coffee stains on the seats from the previous owner. Has a few dents and dings, but the paint keeps chipping off.
General comments?
Great first car, easy on gas, just very expensive to keep going mechanically. Can't afford another car, I guess I'll be driving my mom's minivan for awhile now...
