Used 2001 Hyundai Elantra Consumer Reviews
Best in the class
I was shopping for a compact car with auto transmission, A/C, and in $13000-$16000 price range. First, I test drove Cavalier - very disappointed. Then I took for a test drive Corolla - better, but dealer was unwilling to negotiate the price. The third test drive was with Elantra - WOW! - better than Corolla!!! And the price is lower than for any of the previous cars. So, I made my choise and now drive Elantra for more than a year and I am very satisfied.
Hyundai Elantra
I have had to have my vehicle serviced 9 times in a 16 month period. The transmission went out at 1500 miles. The sunvisor on the driver's side constantly has to be replaced. I have had to have 2 control arms.

I love this car!
I was hesitant at first because I couldn't see how they could pack all these options into a car in this price range. My wife's 2001 Neon (Bought around the same time)has been in for three recalls and numerous cosmetic and mechanical problems. My Hyundai (which I paid almost $3000 less for) has had nothing but oil changes and tire rotations. I LOVE THIS CAR!!!
disappointed
I've had my Elantra for 12 months. It has been in the shop 5 times,Ive been told it is not fixable. This car was a big mistake. Engine problems, clutch and many more problems. Another problem with the car is I have filed the Lemon Law and after months of calls, Hyundai has agreed to repurchase the vehicle, but that comes with a stiff penalty, the user fee was more than expected.
First full year
My 2001 GLS 5-speed rolled 15K shortly after turning a year old July 9. This car has performed wonderfully during its first four seasons here in Michigan, with only oil changes and tire rotations. No mechanical problems, no recalls. Interior is very comfortable, HVAC is incredibly efficient, audio is good, and it is still very fun to drive. Two very minor but persistent noises (a buzz, a rattle) are present in my vehicle, noticeable only because the interior is otherwise very quiet. This has been my best car thus far. Happy!!
