2002 Hyundai Elantra LS review from North America
"A cheap car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver door tends to stick during cold weather. The transmission shifts very hard when putting it into drive. I have already had to have the transmission sensor replaced. The brakes have been worked on twice already due to problems. Paint on the hood, trunk, and driver side are starting to chip.
General comments?
I would not recommend anybody to buy a Hyundai. Before I bought it I had always heard that they were cheaply made; now I believe it!
