I am soliciting for Honest opinion on Hyundai Cars in Nigeria.
I had wanted to buy a Hyundai Elantra (2011 - 2014) model but I made some reviews that got me scared, I read a lot of complains about engine problems, engine tick/piston slap which could lead to engine knock.
Though a lot of reviews stated that the problem is common on very cold days leading to the car having a cold start.
There are other problems associated with this generation of Elantra but this is the most worrisome. However what amazes me is that I keep seeing more and more of these elantras daily in different Nigeria cities, so I wonder, is this Elantra known problems not affecting elantras used in Nigeria?
I am now considering Hyundai Accent (2011-2014) model, though I have not come across a worrisome review on Hyundai accent.
I would appreciate if people using these types of Hyundai (Elantra or Accent) could help me with honest opinion about these cars especially its use in Nigeria, how easy is it for the cars to develop problems, are there mechanics for these cars, are there readily available spare parts, maintenance cost,durability and so on.
Thanking you for your anticipated opinion.
