2001 Hyundai Elantra review from North America
"Bad"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
After less than 5000 miles the engine bearings froze.
Less than 10000 miles and the rear window columns were rusted.
Plastic caps covering the screws for all the inside door panels fell out.
General comments?
Beware you get what you pay for. I cannot see myself ever buying another Hyundai of any model. After less than 5000 miles the engine bearings froze and parts have been falling off this car ever since. Less than 10000 miles and the rear window columns were rusted. At 57000 miles I took it in for recall work and it comes out worse than before I brought it in. I have had Volvo, Chevy, Ford, Honda, Jetta all with mileage close to or well over 100000 miles and this car at 57000 miles is the worst.
