Pros: great safety feautures, MPG, affordable, looks great, drives well
Cons: small spare tire
The Bottom Line: This is a great sporty little car that works great for a family of four
The time had come, we needed to get rid of our older car with it's 150,000 miles on it and find something that was going to be safe and reliable. We were at the point where little things here and there were going wrong on the car and the bill(s) to...

Pros: Fair pricing and great warranty; Great value for a comparable car
Cons: 1980s' poor performance
The Bottom Line: This Korean company has learned a few things about producing quality cars for the US market. They learned a lot from their 1980s debacle.
This Korean may start celebrating as young men and women start flocking to dealerships to snap them to go away to school. At least, this has been the reality for a young man, an acquaintance of my family, who worked hard during this Summer to save...

Pros: Awesome warranty, Good engine, Loaded with lots of features, Great price
Cons: You're constantly stopped and asked questions about the car...
The Bottom Line: You've got to drive it to believe it. It's amazing...and yes, it's a Hyundai.
ARE YOU SURE IT'S A HYUNDAI???
Do you remember back in the 80s when Hyundai was first introduced in the states? The model was called the Excel and it sold like hotcakes due to the incredibly lower sticker price than its Japanese...

Pros: Price, Standard Features, and Leg Room
Cons: Sporty but not a sports car
The Bottom Line: If your looking for a great sedan for under 20k your not going to find a better deal than the Elantra GT.
Our late model Mitsubishi was sucking us dry with constant repairs, so it was time for a new car. I didn't want to go with another used vehicle that would put us right back on the auto repair merry-go-round. So we set our car budget at 15k and started...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Style, price, low-maintenance, Michelin tires
Cons: Loud engine with outdated trans.; random electronic problems
The Bottom Line: One of the best values in the small car market.
The Hyundai is, in fact, my wife's car, but as an Army-certified light mechanic and driving enthusiast, I'm more qualified (not to mention more interested) in writing this review. That said, I'll jump right in.

This Elantra model has...

Pros: Comfortable ride, very good handling, a lot of car for the money
Cons: Jury's still out on Hyundai's quality control, tinny, flimsy trunk lid
Hyundai's 2001 Elantra is a car guaranteed to give
you a bad case of cognitive dissonance or
at the very least, make you do a double-take!
For starters, it doesn't even look like a
Hyundai, and the superb exterior design

Pros: Overall we feel as if we have made a great decision and are very happy with this car.
Cons: The buckle of the seat belt.
I needed a new car. I had been in a car accident (not my fault) and had on short notice replaced my totaled car with a '96 Ford Contour. After several months of driving what I came to call the poop car - I wanted something new.
My husband...

Pros: If you don't want an every-pebble-feels-like-Mount-Whitney driving experience, this is a great compact.
Cons: Poor dealer service; unresolved problems
The Bottom Line: To become a major player alongside industry heavyweights, Hyundai must exceed the likes of Honda and Toyota in value, comfort and warranty. Hyundai comes surprisingly close—but not quite!
Please see 2005 update below the Original Review: Hyundai may be an underdog but it won’t be for long. Christian Wardlaw, Edmunds editor-in-chief, apparently agrees. "If this car holds up, there won’t be a reason to buy a Japanese car,” he ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: sporty look, standard features and amenities, coolness factor, excellent crash protection/damage
Cons: clunky trunk, slightly swervy tail end emergency braking a bit loud
The Bottom Line: Great car, Great Price Great Service, great in accidents...at least mine!
This past weekend I had the displeasure of taking my previous vehicle (1995 Hyundai Accent) to my dealer to determine what was causing the clutch not to work properly. After several hours of waiting (weekends are like that everywhere I think) the service...

Pros: Great warranty and price. Good ride, fast engine.
Cons: Canadian CD player is Blah with tiny controls. Less options available than U.S.A
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this to anyone looking for a comfortable car that is good on fuel at a great price. Driving is Believing.
I purchased the Elantra VE model Arctic Silver automatic, here in Canada. I love the ride and speed of this sedan and would like to share my findings with you. This is an unbiased report of the Canadian model as I have never owned a Hyundai before. I...

Pros: Attractive redesign, affordable, great warrantee, comfortable ride.
Cons: Haven't found any yet.
A year or so ago I never would have imagined myself owning a Hyundai. But after a great deal of shopping around, I couldn't get over how favorably the Elantra compared to others in its class. The redesigned 2001 had a real European look, and it really...

Pros: Fun, quiet, roomy, fast.
Cons: Too early in our relationship to have found any.
The Bottom Line: The best buy in its class. An excellent compromise between fun and economy.
I have been driving a 3-cylinder Pontiac Firefly for the past 3 years. No radio, dying muffler, and it has only slightly more power than a big push lawnmower. It is in this context that I tell you that I love my new 2001 Hyundai Elantra.

Pros: Great price, gorgeous car, runs well
Cons: Some minor problems repaired under warranty
The Bottom Line: If you want to drive a solid car that looks expensive but isn't, this is your choice.
I bought my 2001 black Elantra in March of 2001. I had been driving a 1991 Nissan Sentra for the past 3 years and it was about to grind to a halt. I had been looking for a used replacement, but the Elantra seemed like a great quality car at a good...

Pros: Unbeatable value for the $, solid build quality, style, warrantee, spunky to drive.
Cons: Unproven long-tern reliability, only 95% as solid as a Honda or Toyota.
The Bottom Line: A good car at a great price with outstanding coverage--how can you go wrong?
I recently had the opportunity to spend some quality time behind the wheel of an Elantra while renting the car for business. In fact, I specifically requested the Hyundai because I've seen so many good reviews of the car, and I must admit that the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Hyundai customer support, upscale features, Useability
Cons: Bragging about a Hyundai is still "uncool."
The Bottom Line: For anyone who is on a budget that wants a reliable and fun car.
I've owned my 2002 Hyundai Elantra GT for a little over a year now. I've decided to rewrite this review so that consumers can get n understanding of how well the car holds out early in it's life.
First off, I'm going to write about everything...
