  • An Exceptional Value and Even Fun To Drive!

    May 25 '05
    Pros: Stylish, sporty, reliable economy car at an excellent price.
    Cons: Resale value depreciates a lot faster than other car-makers.

    Summary: A few years back I started to notice that Hyundai wasn't making the junky econoboxes I grew up with. Back then, buying a Hyundai was paramount to living in a trailer park; everybody knew you must have been struggling to not be able to afford something ... read more

  • 2-years later, still a great car!

    Jan 07 '05
    Pros: Still drives like a small car, but is really a family sized vehicle.
    Cons: 2 years later, still can't think of one. Warranty is about to run out?

    Summary: This website really helped me while shopping, so I thought I'd return the favour. I ended up buying a Hyundai Elantra VE after looking at a Kia (new car that felt like a used car) and a Pontiac Sunfire. I'd driven a Cavalier before so the Sunfire was ... read more

  • Probably the best car for the price range.

    Sep 07 '04
    Pros: Longest warranty in the market, no major recalls
    Cons: Overcoming old reputation for "junkiness"

    Summary: I bought this car as an Xmas present for my wife. We already own a '99 Accent and had no complaints except that it was getting small as the kids grow. We originally bought the Accent because of we could take the dealer to the cleaners due to a ... read more

  • My 2004 Hyundai Elantra

    Jul 17 '04
    Pros: Many standard features, especially side air bags.
    Cons: Foul smell when you first turn on air conditioner (same as in the Accent)

    Summary: I had a black 2 door 2003 Hyundai Accent for about a year, which I loved, but it was just a little too small. I upgraded to a black 4 door 2004 Elantra and love it even more! Everyone knows about the great warranty that Hyundai provides, so that is ... read more

  • Surprisingly capable and comfortable.

    May 24 '04
    Pros: Value. Nothing else can touch it there.
    Sound system
    Stowage space
    Cons: Thin paint
    Could use 10-15 more horses
    requires Tiburon sway bar for 'spirited' driving

    Summary: I have a confession to make. I drive a Hyundai... two of them, since 2001 - the first car I owned was a 1995 Sonata that I bought with 98,998 miles on it the month I graduated from college. That happened to be the same month that the first Elantra GT ... read more

  • No More Hyundai Jokes--This Elantra's a Contender

    Jan 08 '04
    Pros: Smooth and solid road manners, high-quality interior, generous feature content, bargain price, great warranty.
    Cons: Stinky new-car smell, mediocre resale value and safety ratings, not as refined as class leaders.

    Summary: My Experience I test drove a Hyundai Elantra GT 5-speed sedan at a local dealership. My test drive lasted about twenty minutes and covered city streets and the freeway. Performance The Elantra's engine fell a bit short of the ... read more

  • Watch out Honda!!

    May 23 '05
    Pros: style, comfort, quiet
    Cons: just recovering from a bad reputation in the 80s

    Summary: All I can say is Honda better watch out for companies like Hyundai and Kia who are producing good quality, stylish, and good value cars. I have a 2004 Elantra GT that is great. I wasn't crazy about getting a Hyundai, but after I drove it, and compared

  • Nice Car But

    Nov 24 '04
    Pros: Nice car for the price. Gas mileage was great at first.
    Cons: Poor suspension,poor transmission,unknown vibration, dealer unwilling to address problems.

    Summary: Nice little car for the price but I live in a hilly city and the transmission will shift into overdrive at 35/40 no matter how steep the hill making the motor sluggish. Also all 4 wheels and tires have been replaced due to a vibration that is still

  • Great ride!

    Nov 13 '04
    Pros: Peppy engine. Nice build quality. Great customer service.
    Cons: Automakers still offer Tape Players???

    Summary: My 1991 Honda Accord finally got too expensive to repair. I decided to do some research on a new car and the Elantra caught my eye. I went on a test drive with a 5-Speed model and bought it the same day. I love this car! Problem So far, the

  • I LOVE My Hyundai! A Great Car.

    Oct 27 '04
    Pros: Great Price, Safety Features, and Warranty. A Great Ride.
    Cons: Non--Extremely Satisfied.

    Summary: I was a little hesitant about buying a Hyundai, but the price was right so we went to the Hyundai Dealership and test drove numerous cars, including used cars, Hyundai's and Kia's. We settled on the Hyundai Elantra and I am extremely pleased that we

  • A nice small car

    Aug 18 '04
    Pros: room, speed, nice colors, etc.
    Cons: small, and very little else.

    Summary: I have this car in black, and it's really nice. It's reliable. Be careful with the gas, it speeds up pretty fast. Recently, one of the front headlights went out, but since it's still on warranty, it's okay. It's small, cozy, and comfy. Even

  • Drives well but cheap materials

    Aug 13 '04
    Pros: Good price for the money and features offered.
    Cons: Poor quality of materials and workmanship. Poor customer service.

    Summary: I have had my Elantra for seven months. It drives well but I have had a few problems the company refuses to fix. The rubber seal around the drivers door is ripped and torn. The company says that is normal use and refused to fix it. Normal use after

  • Excellent alternative to a Civic

    Jul 20 '04
    Pros: Looks (GT Hatchback), value, comfort, warranty
    Cons: Resell/trade-in value(?)

    Summary: This Hyundai is for real. You get a lot for your $14,500 - leather, Kenwood CD/MP3 player, sunroof, etc... (in the GT). The engine is responsive - not a barn burner but with great gas mileage. Very comfortable - large back seat for a car of this class.

  • Great Car - Excellent Value

    Mar 24 '04
    Pros: A ton of standard features & a great warranty
    Cons: none...i love this car. absolutely no problems.

    Summary: Definitely get the 5 speed GT Hatchback. It's amazing what you get standard in this car at this price. The ride is quiet and smooth. Plenty of horsepower and fun to drive. This car is a steal. A must see for sure if your looking at cars under 20k.
