Leon.

I have the 1999 Lantra Sportswagon GLS - rio tomato colour

Above the basic SE model, I got

* 2 litres instead of 1.8
* velour on the doors.
* hyundai plastic coated alloy wheels
* power mirrors
* electric antenna
* tinted windows.

There's a few flakes on the left mirror, there's some bubbles near the
flakes.
Hyundai said they wont repair this under warranty. The pattern of flakes
looks like its finger prints...
The bubbles that are there show that the damage was not caused by scratches,
stone chips. I think Hyundai should repair this under warranty.

I had to oil the antenna . it was making an awful clunking noise, but some
light machine oil soaked in and calmed it. Gurr , dont they oil this at
service time ? What do I pay them for ?

Paint work is easily chipped and panels are dented by shopping trolleys .
paint chips and dents also appear from careless people in car parks hitting
my beauty with their door.

I had a drama with the roof racks - I got them replaced because they were
corroding badly. (Must have been produced without zinc! ) So to replace the
roof racks they had to pull off all the trim off the ceiling and sides...
Ah so that is a long story.

They did replace the racks, but they didnt fit all the trim back -some
broke.
I took it in on the day they nominated, but they didnt fit anything - wrong
parts.
I did get the correct parts fitted, but then one of the parts of the trim
cracked (the trim on the pillar near the drivers head) , and another part
was fitted wrong.
I took it in for them to fix the , but they broke the replacement for the
cracked bit while fitting it.
So finally I took back yet again and got that part fixed.

Yeah I know your pain. I bought this car because of the warranty but that
didn't even last a day with the paint. I hope down the road they HONOR the
100,000 mile warranty better than the cheap paint job they did. What a shame
it is when people who are interested in buying a new car see a 2003 Tiberon
that looks 3-4 years old right from the dealer. They got me once and Hyundai
showed me what they are made of.

Well the paint work is done cheaply, no perfect polishing because the paint
is too thin and by the time it was polished properly it wouldnt have any
paint left.

You bought that.

I didnt buy fingerprints. They threw them in for free.

**Lucky you. My ex-Santa Fe had a hair curled all over the door handle
underneath the paint. Gross!

Was it a long hair or a short hair?

**Hmm, I'd say it was medium. If it was, in fact, a human hair, I'd
say that it was either a really shaggy-haired guy or a woman. Do you
think it's something else (not a hair) that might've happened in the
process?
