Keeping this car forever

2002 Hyundai Elantra GLS 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)

I got this car when this was all I could afford. I have 94000 on it. I've had some things go wrong with it. I had the transmission replaced, under warranty. The car is strange when I started it, it stutters for about 5-10 seconds when I press on the gas. Fixing the transmission has not fixed this. Other than that no problems whatsoever. Very reliable.

I researched cars for several weeks and test drove several, including a Mitsubishi Galant. I have to tell you, I was extremely impressed with the Elantra GT on paper and even more so after the test drive, and felt it to be better than cars thousands of dollars more. Inside the car feels like a million bucks, and i think the styling is terrific (many have noted it looks like a saab). Test drive this car-- you won't be disappointed. I drove an eclipse previously (which cost 3000 more) and gladly traded it in.

The Hyundai elantra GLS is a very good deal for the money. its like driving on rails of steel. with the option of the abs, remote alarm and cd youll be chilling like a villian. i love my car and i aint kidding. the only problem i got is parking it out of my sight. i may just sleep in it. BUY THIS CAR, OR AT LEAST TEST DRIVE IT.

I've read several of consumer comments while shopping for a new car. I bought my Elantra in 2002. It was a base GLS, no options for $9990. It was a lose leader. I owned the car for 5 years and 50,000 miles. The cost of ownership was lower than any other vehicle period. I changed the oil, rotated the tires and replaced the tires at 46,000 miles. That's all I put into the car. No windshield wipers, no battery, no brakes. Everything worked fine. The car was extremely reliable, started everytime and got me from point A to B. The car was totaled, so I'm looking at replacing it with a 05 Elantra. I had a manual, no issues with the clutch or gear box. I drove this car hard and didn't have an issue.
