Just bought this 2001 car recently, din really see any on the roads. Mine's a 5 door manual version. anyone still owns this?

 

would like to check the FC currently, mine's doing about 10km/l (light footed driving below legal speed limits 90% of the time) which seems quite bad for a manual car...

 

any comments?

not very sure, but i heard from the people at Song Yi that they share many engine parts.. suspect that its the same engine.

My elantra was the 96 version one and super problematic.

 

The plastic in the car broke off one by one.

The radiator starts leaking.

The car cannot go faster than 130 no matter how hard I step gas in NS highway.

My colleague is driving the sedan version with the $101 COE, I think it's the 2001 'cateye' model. It's an automatic and it returns about 9km/l. Other than the heavy fuel consumption, not much problem with his car. [thumbsup]
