2001 Hyundai XG300 review from North America
"Horrible"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have owned this car for 37 months and I've had it at the dealership for warranty repairs virtually every month. I am now on my 5th transmission, along with numerous new computer components to resolve various problems. All the wheel bearings have gone bad and had to be replaced along with the complete windshield wiper system and numorous other items. Thank heaven for the bumper to bumper warranty otherwise this car would have cost me double. Obviously I got a lemon, but no one at Hyundai cares about my problems with this car. Luckily the dealer has been very helpful because they are feeling sorry for me. We all know each other by first names at the dealership.
General comments?
The worst car I've ever owned. The performance is horrible in that you feel like you are driving a big stuffed pillow. Actually there is no performance to this car at all.
