Hyundai Elantra (1992 - 1994) Reviews, Pricing & Specs

This is my fiance's car that I drove when we wanted to save gas when we drove to school. I hate this car with a passion. I was always raised around domestic cars, this car is the sole reason that I will never buy a Asian car. For some reason it won run right for my fiance but it seems to love me and I have no idea why...every time I get out of it I kick the door and wait for it to fall off. The gears were tore out of passenger side and is now being held up with a block of wood in the panel, and you have to open up one of the back windows to get air flow in it because the air conditioner takes to much power to have it on while going up a hill. The transmission has gone out twice in it, the second time I was with him. The first time it was because the car is the only car i have ever seen with an "ECON" button which can be easily hit while driving if you have something fall off the passengers seat. That is what caused it to go out the first time. It has not tachometer which bothers me when I drive it because I don't know if I'm pushing the engine to hard going up hills from a dead stop. I'm used to driving 4WD SUV's...so I am used to having to slow down when it is raining. I was very impressed by how little I hydroplaned doing 45mph let alone 55mph because before I drove this car I had never drove a front wheel drive vehicle let alone a car. Over all this is a horrible car. I was using it for city driving because it was better on gas millage than my Jeep, but i became flustered with the car when I would run into the gas station and turned it off and it wouldn't start after a short stop.Jul 16, 2009
