Faults:

The clock doesn't always display the time; keeps time accurately when time does not appear, though.

Getting loud humming sound when driving above 40 MPH; assuming tire related.

Air bag malfunction light was coming on for a few months; has been off now for a couple months.

General Comments:

Overall, very satisfied with the GT. Engine has lots of usable power, especially when mated with the 5-speed manual transmission. I have driven the automatic, and performance was acceptable, but it is much better with the manual transmission.

Fuel economy has averaged about 30 MPG.

Recently my Hyundai Elantra has a strange problem. One day, I could not start the car. I thought the battery was bad. I called Hyundai Road Service. The Service man came and tried to jump start the car. it did not work. He suggested that the starter might be broken. Next day before I planed to have the car towed to the dealer. I tried to start the car. The car was OK Now. However, My nightmare about the car has started. I can start the car in one day, but cannot start the car the other day. It is dragging on like this for two weeks. Then I asked dealer to find the problem. The dealer checked everything from battery to starter. They cannot find anything wrong. I had to pay the inspection fee and drove the car home. However, I know the problem will not go away. Next day the problem happened again. Now I was really afraid to take the car to the dealer because if they cannot find anything wrong I will still pay the inspection fee and drive the car home. Is there anyone who can give a suggestion about what is wrong and end the vicious cycle.

I really do not know this kind of car is worth buying.

My throwout bearing went at about 40k. Dealer replaced under warranty. They also offered to replace the clutch as long as it was out anyway, for the price of parts (about $125). The old clutch was about 50% worn.

I got hit by a Jeep Cherokee on my drivers side about 4 days after I bought the car. He was going about 40. He hit the front side of the drivers door and the front fender. The car was pretty torn up, but my passenger and I were fine and able to drive it home. He just missed the side airbag sensor, fortunately.

It Is a pretty quick car with the 5-speed.

Gas mileage is OK, not great.

I like the interior quality and exterior styling better than competition.

Good factory sound system.

Faults:

Both front headlights burnt out within a week of each other. Thank god I waited to go to get it fixed when the first one went out.

Door bumper molding came off after 1 week. No big deal though.

Paint chips and scratches easily, looks as if the car is 20 years old, unbelievable. There are so many nicks in the paint I just can't believe it is happening from the road or people bumping it, just too many for its age.

Terrible mildew smell when air conditioner is first turned on.

Mildew smell when my windshield washers are used just developed recently.

City Mileage, I average about 20 miles per gallon. Not near what the sticker promised. I got better mileage with my Buick LeSabre.

General Comments:

Car has a decent ride for a car in its class.

Very comfortable, had a little bit of a time getting use to the firm seats, but in the long run, I think it provides much more support.

I do love the style of the car. Mine is black and reminds me of a miniature Mercedes Benz.
