Mostly good, a little bad...Elantra GT
Good vehicle overall. Always excellent gas mileage. At 90,000 miles we have had no engine or drivetrain malfunctions. At 6'6" I have plenty of leg and head room. A bit cramped laterally but comfortable enough. Steering controls work great. Slap stick gear shift is useful. No problems except on the sport package with the sunroof, the wheels, the rims, are terrible. Low profile tires means you had better not hit any potholes or dips or you WILL bend the rim. We have had three rims fixed and had to replace two rims! Not to mention the tires as they have a tendency to develope a sidewall bulge. Not talking extreme hits, just normal driving. A manhole cover was inset in the street a couple of inches. Wheel went over it, tire flexed and release all the air pressure and the rim is now not true....again. Same car with steel rims and a "normal" profile tire would be perfect but these low profile rims just will not withstand normal American road driving. Repairs here are 125-175 for rim straightening, replacement of one these rims is about 500! Tires are 150 a piece! Also beware, if you get the glass roof you will not be able to install any kind of roof rack at all. I am hoping this vehicle will last as long as my Toyota, which runs like a top and has 235,000 miles...and no bent rims!
