2006 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
"Pretty good except for the above problem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Hi
Its to do with the initial starting. The clutch of the car seems to be a bit stiff - it releases late. I have driven stick shifts all my life, never had this problem. Because the clutch releases late, I am unable to synchronize clutch release and acceleration so the car either shuts off or moves with a jerky movement. This problem doesn't exist once the car is in motion for obvious reasons. It's a brand new car!!
