It's been fairly reliable so far

Bought new in Dec 01. So far, no MAJOR issues with the car; it's been mechanically sound and reliable at 104K miles. The couple of times I took the car in for warranty-related work, the dealer refused and wanted me to pay (it was electrical issue). Seems like warranty work is a hit/miss with dealers. I've had only minor annoying electrical problems so far, like the dash clock not working (took it apart and repaired myself), turn signal switch intermittent (repaired myself), side mirror heaters no longer work, air blower switch position 1 doesn't work, several bulbs in the dash burned out (including the headlights numerous times). Steering vibrates at above 60 MPH intermittently.

We bought the Elantra to replace a Nissan Maxima station wagon. Our other car is a 1991 Toyota CamryLE (V6). The Camry has been a very good car, costing about $21,000 when it was new. The Camry is a hard act to follow, but despite it's lower price, the Elantra has proven itself to be fine car. It has a solid feel and is fun to drive.

I thought I would NEVER buy a Hyundai, But I'm glad I did. This is a great car! BHowever it could use a little more power.

I was fairly happy with my car for the price until recently. For the price, I feel that I got what I paid for. Economy! Rides okay, somewhat comfortable, cute, compact and so on. Recently I put it it for some repairs. The engine light came on. Also, the latch for the trunk wasn't working and the passenger air vent slats were coming out. Well the dealership said that the vent was broken due to hit being hit, well I disagreed. So I'm trying to fight it.
