Pros: Power, standard equipment and extremely cheap options
Cons: Handling under breaking, ergonomic factors
I know what you are thinking -- Hyundai? didn't they make the Excel? I thought the same thing. In fact, I almost refused to look at Elantra, thinking it too boxy and almost assuredly shoddily put-together. However, it took only a few minutes in the...

Pros: Great gas mileage, great value, economical.
Cons: should come with a CD player as a standard feature.
The Hyundai Elantra is a great value. It looks great, drives smoothly and it has good gas mileage. It makes some of the more expensive cars in its category look pale by comparison (i.e Chrysler Neon). Hyundai offers a good warranty, roadside...

Pros: Affordable, manual version is fun to drive
Cons: Service is subpar at a dealership in Arlington, MA that shall remain nameless
I bought this car because it was the only thing I could find that met my three must-have criteria:
1. Wagon! I don't have kids, but I'm just a wagon person.
2. 5-speed Manual Transmission - where's the fun in driving an automatic?
3....

Pros: Standard Options Galore, More Horsepower, best warrentee

It was finally time to buy a new car. Having owned Toyota's for years and having great experience both with reliability and low maintenance, it was Toyota again, we were shopping for, without even looking at other cars. Because of our tight budget, the...

Pros: Great gas mileage, BEST warranty
Cons: Inadequate console, cup holders block ashtray, unlit dash-light dimmer control
We just bought a 2000 Elantra GLS and we think it's a great car for the money we paid for it. It runs well, gets GREAT gas mileage, and is actually roomy enough for 2 adults and 3 kids, including 2 in car seats.
The only thing I...

Pros: Price, reliability, power train warranty
Cons: CD/Stereo could be a little more user friendly
After looking at Hondas and Nissans, then the Elantra, I felt the car was the best value. The 100,000 mile power train warranty was very attractive. It also had a larger back seat than the other cars we looked at and drove and came with more standard...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Price, equipment level, warranty, strong engine, nice design
Cons: Cramped interior, half-finished trunk
Hyundai has a reputation for building low budget, low quality, throwaway cars. This bad rep was earned primarily with their first generation ('86-'89) Excel, which was extremely trouble prone. Even though second generation Excels (of which I owned 2,...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Engine Sound, Spacious, Comfortable, Hot Look, etc.
Cons: The paint, bearings, speaker system, Exhaust, Winshield Wiper Nozzles
The Bottom Line: This car is great. Has something for everyone. Has a great feel, has lots of power, and plenty of room. Great if you don't mind a few problems.
This car has blown me away. I only ever looked at Chevrolets, Toyotas, Honda and Dodge. I never thought that Hyundais were any good. But having this car has changed my mind about them. This car is overall great with some minor inperfections. ...

Pros: Great car for the price.
Cons: none
The Bottom Line: You can't find a better car for the price. you can't find any car for the price.
I bought two Elantras six months ago. Where else but Hyundai can you buy a car for 12,000 dollars? Or two for 24,000 dollars? And this car is fully equipped. It has power windows and lock, keyless entry, cruise control, automatic transmission,...

Pros: Quiet, roomy, fast, well finished
Cons: a throaty sound on acceleration
I bought a 2000 Hyundai Elantra VE (In Canada this is similar to the stateside GLS). I traded in a 94 Hyundai Excel with 115000 miles on the clock and NO problems whatever and no sign of any coming! I wanted a little more in creature comforts however and...

Pros: Excellent fuel economy, Fun to drive, GREAT value, more than ample power.
Cons: Climate control, noisy on the highway, cup holders are in the wrong spot
The Bottom Line: An excellent deal. Excellent handling and driving ability. A fun ride all around.
After researching several cars (Honda, Toyota, Ford) I decided to check out Hyundai. My girlfriend has a 1991 Hyundai Sonata and it has driven her around flawlessly for years. With this in mind, I proceeded to our local Hyundai dealership. After ...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: price, appearance, initial performance, LOTS of room
Cons: "city" mpg, safety, dwindling part performance
I'm not sure how I feel about my recent purchase of a fully-loaded 2000 Elantra GLS, but I find it to be dwindling as time goes by. My wife and I had traded in her 93 Achieva for this car because we were moving across the country and knew her car...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: - Power for weight
- Plenty of room
Cons: - Aweful CD player that doesn't last
- Some colors look absolutely aweful!
The Bottom Line: Don't rely on the factory CD player. Otherwise, great!
I upgraded to the 2000 Hyundai Elantra from a '93 Ford Taurus. I loved my Taurus! It had power EVERYTHING. But the fact is, it was 14 years old and the littel stuff was about to go. I purchased the 2000 Hyundai Elantra for about 2 grand with 110,000 ...

Pros: Gas mileage, stylish, roomy for hauling, great price, reliable.
Cons: Possible repair in the first five years. Low crash test rating on back seat.
The Bottom Line: I highly recommend this car over any other car in this price range. I have thoroughly enjoyed this car on many roadtrips, reliable, great on gas.
I bought my 2000 Hyundai Elantra Wagon brand new. I absolutely love it! I have had a few people stop and ask me where I got it because they wanted one and they are not made anymore since they came out with the Santa Fe. I have also been teased being a ...

Pros: Warranties, Engine, Seat Comfort, Power
Cons: Haven't found one yet!
After an accident put my wife's '89 Olds Cutlass Supreme in the Junkyard, we decided that we would carshop for "a good, cheap 4-door compact". After walking through various dealerships at the local (Tucson) Automall we decided on the Hyundai...
