1989 Hyundai Sonata GL 2.4
Summary:
Bad quality, bad product
Faults:
- Transmission problems from the very start. Started slipping @ 10,000 km, had to rebuilt @ 50,000 km and replaced it with another one @ 120,000 km.
- Lamination coat started to peel slightly and turned into a big problem.
- All 4 doors and windows seized and were broken.
- Engine oil and transmission oil leaks that started @ 150,000 km.
General Comments:
Don't waste your money on this car. The amount of time and money I spent on this car was not worth the trouble. Hyundai has had a bad reputation of "junk quality" cars because they're basically not reliable. Although the ride comfort is far better than any Accord or Camry in its year.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? No

1995 Sonata Sedan.
The absolute KING OF THE LEMONS. Have had so many problems that I can't begin to describe them. Major and minor. I would love to unload this piece of junk, but I have too much invested in repairs. If you can think of a problem, any problem, I have had it with this car. Even the dealer that sold it to me advised me to get rid of it ASAP. Can anything be done as my transmission is going out again and I haven't made it to 80K miles yet!! Is there any help out there? Please!!
