1992 Hyundai Elantra review from North America
"Worth its price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1.Air mass meter (170000km)
2.Rear wheel bearing (3 times)
3.Transmission (220000km)
General comments?
This is my first car and I really learn a lot mechanic knowledge from it.
Generally, the car is reliable except some little problems. It starts every time and help me cross Canada. I am pretty satisfied with it because I only spent 2100 CA$ to get it. Engine and electrical system are very good. But the suspension and transmission have more and more problems.
I didn't repair it after the transmission was gone. Not worth to spend 2400 in it any more. The ball joint had some play and rear suspension had noise also.
Suggest buy a manual one because the automatic transmission is really pain at ass.
