the santa fe was pretty nice, it had decent power too, its not fast but its decent. interior is pretty nice.



i drove an elantra (i think) and does the world really need another shitbox? its just a cheap cheesy car. for $15k or whatever they sell for you're better off buying a 3 year old 750il bmw, imo. this car made me want to drive with the rear wheels locked and hit trash cans and stuff. i hate stupid pointless cars, this is one

My buddy has an 03 elantra. it pretty fast for what it is,(Hyundai). He put header, exhaust and intake on it. He beats alot of hondas. He needed a cheap family car but he still has a bug for racing so after he got the car he put a buch of stuff into it. The one thing I don't like is how the car sounds with the header and exhaust. I am not a fan of them and would never buy one though.

header on an elantra? sounds like a loser

Danno 12-15-2004 03:23 PM

Heres a pic of his car. Not bad for an Elantra.

Shane.Trammell 12-15-2004 03:26 PM

Well, when you got a family and your the only one supporting it I think that it is reaonable. Do you think Hondas with headers are stupid too? Its the same thing.

Danno 12-15-2004 03:35 PM

I think he has the best looking Hyundai I have seen. He like when people pick on him about modding a Hyundai then he asks them to race and they turn him down.

Shane.Trammell 12-15-2004 03:35 PM

honda with header can be ok but not if its a 4 door. i was jk about the loser part.

eeeeyeah, I wouldn't ever curse someone with that V-12 powered electrical monster. Don't get me wrong I love the 750il but they have endless electrical issues!. Nice Hyundai, not my style, but it isn't as bad as a Daewoo for sure.

I think those care are selling on thier warranty



take away the warranty and there is no point

Spending money on a Hyundai to make it "better"? Something about trying to polish a turd comes to mind. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

Try and get them to work on it though. It is tough. That car in the pick needed a new tranny after 40K miles with no mods done yet. It took him like 5 trips to different dealers to try and get it done. Now he has a new tranny though.

a kid i work with has an elantra, and has been through 3 trannys in 80k, and his mother has put most of thoes miles on it

cymfc3s 12-20-2004 07:13 PM

I drove a rental elantra when I was in Tucson. It was ok. It wasnt too terribly bad, it had power everything. But, it was nothing special and the power had something to be desired. Id give it a C. I don't know why anyone would buy one new.
