1996 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
"Very unreliable, it spent more time in the shop than with I drove it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Oxygen Sensor went out 4 hours after driving the car off the lot.
I bought the car in August, the transmission went out October.
In November the Starter went out.
In December my battery went, but that was not the Dealers fault.
General comments?
High gas mileage.
Comfortable to drive.
