Pros: the cost
Cons: the warranty if you are a high mileage driver
The Bottom Line: Don't waste your money!!! If Hyundai Corporation is not going to stand behind their product by making good on something they built bad, then stop robbing the innocent consumer!!
I purchased a brand new Hyundai Elantra in November of 2000 thinking this was a great buy since I was a professional career minded woman and far knowledgeable of the mechanic work on vehicles. In June of 2002, the air conditioning stopped working in the...

Pros: Power for its size
Cons: Will not honor warranty
Numerous Quality Issues
The Bottom Line: Hyundai has a great warranty that they do not honor. If you enjoy dealerships and loaners, this car is for you! Otherwise, avoid it.
I have had my Elantra for 6 months now and have had a number of problems with it already. The worst of these is a stalling problem when pulling up to red lights. I have had it in the dealer a number of times for this problem. Because the dealer claims...

My decision to purchase a Hyundai Elantra 2000 model was based on the price of the vehicle as well as the 10 year warranty. Little did I know however, that the vehicle would have transmission problems within eight months after being purchased new. The...

Pros: great guarentee
Cons: only as good as the car dealer
The Bottom Line: 11 MONTHS LATER:TRANSMISSION REPLACED.ENGINE NOISE.CAR IS NOT WORTH EVEN HALF OF WHAT I PAID. THIS IS A DISPOSABLE CAR.IT SHOULD BE ABOUT $6000.THROW IT AWAY LATER
It was a sad day. The day my baby(daughter)taught my 1996 chev corsica how to roll over and play dead. The replacement car the dependable 2000 hyundai elantra. As a truck driver I spend time away from home. The roadside help sounded good until needed it....

Pros: wagon, sporty, in-expensive

My fiancée and I purchased a 2000 Elantra Wagon VE (value edition) this past March when my '93 Saturn SL1 rolled past 200,000 kilometers and would have been in need of some major repairs in the near future. We bought the Elantra for 4 major reasons: It...

Pros: cheap car, good warranty
Cons: No parts, poor customer service
Manual transmissions are not available for 2000 Elantra. That is what I am told by the company after waiting for 2 weeks to get it fixed. The whole transmission fell apart after 9000 miles and 5 months of usage. Not a very good company if they don't have...

Pros: Powerful Engine (when functioning properly!)
Cons: Have had MANY problems in such a short time!
I want to put this out there for other people having problems, because I want to know if this car has problems. My husband and I bought our car in August, and THREE DAYS later it would jerk at high speeds. We went to the dealership, and they said it...

Pros: the car looks nice, comfortable
Cons: dealerships, engine problems
I bought this vehicle because the salesman assured me of the great quality of the product and how Hyundai takes pride in customer service and maintaining a quality product. After all Hyundai is supposed to have America's best warranty.
I wish I...

Pros: Great Gas Mileage
Cons: To small..... no leg or head space!
In May my sis came down to stay with us for a little while. While we were taking her back to my mom's house, our car broke down. We never intended on having to go car looking at that time, but we only had one car.
So two days later my hubby...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: Yes 
Pros: good gas mileage, great warranty, nice styling both outside in interior wise, good power
Cons: loud engine, not that much space, interior is made of junk
The Bottom Line: Only buy if you plan on keeping for 10 years because if not you really get stuck with it.
I bought the base version with a 5 speed transmission in October of 2000. So far not that many problems, but there are a lot of stuff that shouldn't go wrong in a new car so fast. I am getting rid of it already because it has depreciated so fast and I...

Pros: Price, Price, Engine/Transmission, Optional Stereo
Cons: Interior Cloth, Headlights not enough with heavy rain, You call this airconditioning
The Elantra's quality, fit and finish do not come close to that of a Honda, but the power train is much more refined as is the four speed automatic.
The interior cloth is just tacky, and the plastic scratches easily. The cruise control levers...

Pros: Warranty, price
Cons: pick-up, noisy
I purchased the Hyundai Elantra Wagon in July 2000 and am fairly pleased with it. The pick-up though leaves a lot to be desired. Though I had hoped to have more space to carry larger loads, the back seats fold down but there is a bar across that is...

Hyundai Elantra Wagon....
I bought a 2000 Hyundai Elantra Wagon at the beginning of the year. The ability to haul stuff (like hot water heater in the box) is a great advantage. My previous car was a 6 cylinder 4-door Plymouth Acclaim. The Elantra...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: No
Pros: Roomy, faster and more features than Honda Civic.
Nice Warranty.
Cons: Not ideal for long distance driving.
Bad quality or reliability.
The Bottom Line: I would not recommend the Elantra if you plan to stick with it for a long time.
Bought my 00' Automatic Elantra during Nov 99. I have about 24K miles on my car which is well below the average consumption for three years. I still have not got my first major engine tune up done ( due for 27K miles ). However, I have made quite some...
