I have 70 thousand miles on my elantra gt, replaced rear brakes at 50 thousand miles and I do a lot of stop and go Las Vegas driving in the heat, front brakes at 55. Not bad at all. 35 mpg on hwy at 68 mph, only warranty work-- new tie rod end at 49 thousand miles along with torn left cv boot, leaky sun roof and a leaking rear strut, still have the 3 other original struts in the car all work covered on the 50 thousand mile defective part warranty, the dealer told me about at no cost, 450 dollars for timing belt at 62 thousand miles, a 4 1/2 hour job not like the old days, I would never try to do it like I did my old Chevy prizm too many parts. Hyundai totally honored their warranty-

I have had the car since December, already have 13,000 miles and am pleased overall. I have noticed a few quirks though. My car, although an automatic, seems to have difficulty shifting sometimes. It will shift hard on occasion and I can see the RPM's shoot up. I'm told they do this when they have not yet warmed up but I wonder if it is a sign of things to come. I also noticed that the AC only seems to work when I'm moving. If I stop at a light I suddenly get a blast of air that is a little too tepid for AC.

My silver 2002 Elantra is an all-around winner. The 5-speed is a blast, beautiful fit-and-finish, great ergonomics...seems custom built for me. Inexpensive AND turns heads at the same time. Best of all...gas mileage. With apologies to Edmunds and Consumer Reports, I am consistently getting 38 to 42 mpg with the A/C turned OFF while driving 80 all day. This is one beautiful car, no matter the price.
Very pleased with car

I only have the car a week, so more will follow as time goes by. It was a fun expericne dealing with the dealer. (A tip of the hat to Jim & Woody.) The car with the automatic is a lot better then I thought it would be, I can't wait to get by my self imposed break in time, so I can open up the engine more. Fun to drive, I have the ABS with traction control, moon-roof, car came with spoiler, which was listed on the sticker, not a dealer add on. Check Carsdirect.com also, they had the spoiler listed to see invoice & MSRP. price, edmonds did not list it. C.D. plays well, just an enjoyable car. Will update info as I have car longer.

I bought this car 4 months ago had to change the radiator, the battery and the head light now have to change the exhaust, the alternator and the spark plugs despite of this... Man I love my car! Nice plastic wood finish, engine not hard on oil and engine very peppy for a 2.0l 4 cyl. Only paid 1500$ and I knew I had to put money in it but I didn't mind cause Hyundai is a very reliable brand and that my car will last for another 198,00 km ; )

Good car. Only issues I had with the car was when the dealer worked on my car. Changed the timing belt on advice of the dealer but when I looked at the old belt it looked almost new. Replace front rotors on the wheel due to rusting ($100 each). Other than that I have no issues with the car. It made it through the crazy upstate New York winter like a chap. Like the go-cart feeling. For the person who did not like the steering feel, take it to a mechanic and tighten the steering column.
The greatest car I've never owned...

I love this vehicle, unfourtunately it isn't mine. I have driven my Aunt's car for a couple of days now, and all I have to say to anyone looking for a new car, but not looking at the Hyundai just beacause of the name....is GO AND DRIVE ONE...OR MAYBE EVEN THREE! I went with my Aunt to get this car and also drove the GLS and a Sonata. She bought the GT and it is a fun thing to drive!! Go and drive the others, then Drive Hyundai and compare prices w/STD equipment...I think you'll be pleasently surprised!!!

I have a great history with Hyundia. I bought a new 2002 elantra and drove it for a year. Gave it back due to a bk, to have cheaper pymts. Then bought a 2002 Sonata, returned it two days later, due to hating the big floaty ride. Got another 2002 Elantra, formal rental, with 22k. 6 yrs later 189k and counting. My friends cannot believe that I still use this car for my daily 100+ miles commute. Service history: The first year, it had service to fix a throttle sensor, no cost. Next year the battery, no cost both under warranty. At 96k changed timing belt. The only bad thing is that you have to replace the headlights every 6 months. Oil changes every 10k, tires, one set of brakes. @30mpg. Sweet.

Had the car for 6 months/7000 miles and I love it. Not a single problem other than fighting my wife for it(beats driving the family mini-van). Wish the car had a little more low-end acceleration, but it more than makes up for it with the overall ride.

My daughter was driving the car when she was in a major crash. The car was totaled but she opened the door and walked away without so much as a scratch. The car was replaced with another Elantra as I don't want her driving anything else.

although just buying this car, on first impluse, its a great car to look at. It has a very "alive" engine and the noise is kept to a minimal. All the standard features will just blow you away... I managed to take home the "convenience package (which consists of keyless entry w/ alarm, cruise control, and a cd player upgrade)..so as of 2100 miles..im in love with this car. Although i am pro-hyundai anyway because i use to own a 2000 hyundai accent. In my honest opinion, despite all my respect for this company, I really do think they are making a honest and very respectable leap into making nice quality cars. GO HYUNDAI!
So far so Good

When I first saw the Elantra GT on the lot I was shocked that Hyundai had actually put some effort into styling. The GT looks European and the suspension backs up its image. The GT handles superbly for a car of its price and the engine is smooth and powerful, especially on the freeway. One test drive and this car will blow the others in its class out of the water.

The Elantra is an excellent option for those seeking value and performance in an economy car. The ride and performance are first rate. Being an Acura owner, I am used to excellent fit and finish. The Elantra measures up to these standards; remarkable considering it costs half that of a 3.2 TL. Strongly recommended.

After a long search for my second 'New' car the GT won! I've owned over 20 cars (most used), but the Hyundai has been one of the best picks so far. Fit and finish are great as well as the options included. The interior is very comfortable for me and my wife, and plenty of useable room. Even with the auto it has good power, and I've been averaging 25-30 mpg with mainly city driving. Handling is very good for a front wheel drive car, and the stock tires hold well in snow/rain and dry conditions.
A lot of Car for the Price!

Wow, this is a lot of car for the price. Just about everything is standard. Had to get a sunroof because of limited choice but that got thrown in for less than $400. In the end I bought at about $700 below invoice+ads+delivery (without a rebate!) by going through the internet rep. Amazing. Could have even gotten a GLS for about $1500 less but I wanted the standard leather interior and suspension of the GT. Added extras well worth it. Extensively compared Corolla,

Purchased the 2002 Elantra GLS manual 2 weeks ago. The car drives pretty damn good and so far it has exceeded my expectations. Overall the value of the Elantra is excellent considering the standard options, quality of ride and warranty. And when you compare this car to the compition, it's a clear winner. The 5 years TCO (total cost of ownership) on Edmunds uses the TMV (true market value) purchase price when calculating the cost per mile. I recalculated the 5 year TCO using the my purchase price and came out with .28/mile cost which is several cents below their number.Your Hyundai dealer will take invoice on the 2002 and give you back the rebate.
I LOVE THIS CAR!!

I took my new Elantra GT on a long road trip from Central Illinois to Vancouver, BC and back this July and had absolutely no problems. My other adult passenger, my two 50-lb dogs and myself were comfortable throughout the trip. The car cruised easily and quickly along the highway. I experienced very little driver fatigue. My average gas mileage for the trip was between 28 and 30 mpg.

What can I say? This car has it all! Every feature you could want, for an unbelievable price. I can't speak for the long term yet, which is my only trepidation, but Hyundai has the boldness to offer the best warranty in the business. I've had my car for about a month now, and I can personally vouch for the quality of construction and engineering. This is a truely well built car. Under the hood there is plenty of room to work with, which means maintanence and repairs will be easier to do. (Read: cheaper labor costs at the shop) Compared to the Civic Si, the GT has got it beat in almost every statistic available! Continued in "Favorite Features"
Perfect for many.

I purchased my car with 7 miles on it, I now have 85k and for the first 4 years was happy with it. Lately, I had to replace the transmission, rotors & brakes, battery , lights, radiator, alternator, and a few other things. This with making all scheduled maintenance appointments. This car is only good when it's new, once you pass the four year mark, be ready to put some dough into it! I'm getting rid of mine, never to buy another one!

When my last car expired abruptly, I had to move quickly to get a new car. I'd been aiming for a Toyota, but I had to set my sights a little lower. The Hyundai Elantra fit into my budget, though I was initially a little nervous about the Hyundai name. I needn't have worried. I've had no problems with the car at all, and I even learned to drive a stick on it. The gas mileage has been decent, if not an astounding improvement over my last car. The ride has been smooth, and it's been nicely responsive. No problems yet at all, though I'm reassuerd to know that if I do have problems like my previous car (not a Hyundai) gave me, that the Hyundai's warranty will cover those.

Bought this as my first brand new vehicle, had plenty of used ones. This car was the bargain of the century. I got the loaded GT hatch in black and the ONLY complaint I have is that the paint wasn't the absolute best, but I never has any rust or paint loss. With plenty of pep I could pass at 60MPH with the AC on no problem. Tons and Tons of cargo space with the seats folded flat. I drove this car freaking everywhere in every climate at every altitude this country has to offer and had zero problems with performance or build quality. Anyone complaining about this vehicle either bought it used from someone who didn't care for it, or bought it high mileage. BEST.CAR.EVER.

I bought this car for my daughter in-law on October 31, 2009. The worst mistake ever. The salesman said this was such a good car. Had not owned it a month when check engine light came on. It needed a new head gasket, water pump, timing chain, valve cover gasket. Since all this work it developed an oil leak when it is drove on a trip, must be a high pressure leak. Hyundai dealership does not have good enough mechanics to figure it out. I will never buy another Hyundai. I will always stick with a Toyota or Honda.

Overall a neat car. my only complaint so far are the sweaty leather seats, would rather have cloth. As to horsepower, the specs say 140 HP. If this engine has 140HP, they must be Shetland ponies. My 1995 ford contour with a 2.0 litre 4 cyl. (122hp), and my 1995 ford probe with a 2.0 litre 4 cyl. (118hp)both have a lot more power than this one. The car does handle nicely and the hatchback is what I wanted. Just wish it really had 140HP.

The Elantra is HUGELY underpriced. Dollar for dollar, it's better than the Civic, Corolla, or Focus. It's a big improvement on previous Hyundais... quiet, responsive, and comfortable with more than enough power. Options galore, looks good, well built. A great buy. I didn't intend to buy Hyundai when I went shopping, but it beat out every other compact car, and I looked at all of them.

At just over $14k, this car may be the best value on the market in its class. After 3 weeks, we love it all the more. It's more comfortable than expected for its size, has just enough pep, and looks good. The GT's hatch is versatile for cargo. Rear 60/40 seats fold flat by flipping up bottom seats - nice. You can't get more for the money. After over 8 years & 120k miles with a Hyundai Excel, I'll attest to the long- term quality, low mtc. cost and reliability. Not to mention how far they've come in that time with design and value-added features. You can't go wrong with a Hyundai.

Replaced a Civic LX with the GT, no comparison. The extras are wonderful, the sunroof appreciated. Best A/C I have ever had in any car. Snappy and responsive stick that is a great deal of fun to drive. No Squeaks or rattles. Smoooooth on the highway and VERY comfortable. Love the leather too! You can't beat the value with this car. Well made body panels are a plus. I gave the Civic to my daughter and I don't miss it one bit. The Hyundai is fun to drive, the Civic was always slow on the uptake and mushy to me.

Bought new and haven't had a single problem to date (150K). Dealer serviced for oil changes every 3k since I got a "free oil changes as long as you own the car" when I bought it. That deal stopped when the dealer changed ownership but the dealership was great all that time. Overall extremely pleased, more so when considering the price and class of the vehicle.

Bought the car in February and 9000 miles so far with no problems. My wife was extremely skeptical when I bought this car, but driving is believing, and she now drives it more than I do. Purchased without ABS and sunroof for $11,300. Great experience at dealership, and friendly service since. Car handles much better than expected for this class and comfortably seats my entire family. Originally bought as secondary vehicle to get me to and from work, but has quickly become the primary mode of transportation for my family.

I love this car! It has most of the features of a luxury sedan, but in a smaller, more fun package, and with a warrenty that leave me worry-free. I'm in college, so it's nice to have a car that won't have unanticipated expenses. It handles well enough in the snow, due to the anti-lock brakes and front wheel drive. I'm 6-4, and still have plenty of room to engage the clutch and sit comfortably.

I don't know how they do it for the money. Once Hyundai realizes what a bargain this car really is - they will probably raise the price. I traded in my 2000 Beetle for a GLS 5 spd w/ all the standard features plus cruise, remote entry and alarm, stereo CD, woodgrain trim, moonroof, mudguard, and cargo net for $13,840. The dealer was polite, helpful, and gave me a great price on my trade-in. I took my Elantra home for $2500.00. This car is comfortable, logical, and a dream to drive.

I can only find two things to gripe about with this car: rear visibility is less than stellar and the low beam/high beam switch should be a toggle style switch. Otherwise this car shines in all areas. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder but this ex-European has no problem with the Euro-styling. The performance and handling seem more than adequate for a car with this much practicality. Long term reliabilty is something of an unknown and to be honest I wouldn't have bought this car without the 100k/10yr warranty. I have no regrets about buying this car. The only question is, do we need a second one?
Not bad at all!

I think the GT may be one of the best kept secrets in the automotive world. There's a ton of room inside, more power under the hood than most of it's competitors, and the best warranty in the business. I've average better than 31 mpg in the 3000 miles I've owned it and haven't had a single problem.

I bought this car at 99,000 miles to get out of a gas guzzling van. I was wary, but now I'm won over. I love this car. Good pep,good nimbleness, good gas mileage, good comfort. This small car even has leather seats and a sunroof! I looking for another Hyundai for my kid and stating to look for another used elantra in a more recent model year for me.

I keep up with my cars maintenance as I should yet I have had multiple problems and my car is only at 60,000 miles. At 30 my power steering pump blew. At 40 my driver door sensor broke. At 50 my radiator and my thermostat blew literally. Despite the readings of my coolant level. It was perfect and all of a sudden smoke was coming from my hood. I do admit that the handling is good yet I had a Toyota and didn't have my first problem until I was at 120,000. Plus the problems I have had are pretty irregular, my mechanics at the dealership even were to admit. Plus Hyundai put a lock on the oil filter so that only they are able to change your oil filter. They say its to protect me but we know why.

First the cons... the trunk cover panel rattles slightly at low speeds and my AC fan developed a rattle after 10 months. Now the pros... Of 5 new cars I've owned, only my Honda Accord gave me less complaints in the first year. It's a true pleasure to drive. Great, responsive handling, generous driver and passenger room, solid passing power, and that gorgeous styling. I'm just sad to say that in 6k of driving, I've seen another one on the road once.

It's so good, comfy and an awsome sound system, throaty valve system on the exhaust an responds well to tuning.

Plenty o' character in this car with the best apparent value of all I researched and tested. Hot, fun, practical, and a bit different (read: better) than your neighbor's. I'm consistently glad I chose it, and my friends are pleasantly surprised when they check it out.
