Used 2002 Hyundai Elantra Consumer Reviews
Elantra GT, the best in class
After trying almost all small sedan/hatchbacks for my wife decision was easy. No other one offered so much space, features, usability, power and luxury at once in that class for that money. Even as VW Passat driver I enjoy driving GT. Hope the brandname would get more recognition for the quality not only the price. Thanks Hyundai for this beauty!!!!!
do check out this car!
I researched new cars for over six months and just couldn't help feeling ripped off by all other makes after taking a closer look at Hyundai. All the features I wanted, for $3000 less than a Civic EX! (And a 10-year warranty to calm my fears about reliability...) What about resale value? What I'll get less for it in a few years is in my bank account now--collecting interest. Love the responsive ride, ergonomics, large load capacity, Euro styling. Nothing rattles, automatic transmission shifts as smooth as butter.

Wow...and I only paid $14,366.00!!
What can I say about this car only that Hyundai must be losing money on this one. I think they are trying hard for market share. Man...I love this car....Black and fine. In a few years I will put 16's on it and mabye lower it about 1 1/2 inches. If this thing had a turbo...I'm telling you there would be no need to even test drive anything within 10K of it's price.
7K miles of reliability
Bought the GT 8 months ago, put 7K miles on it, changed oil once. No other maintenance or any problems or rattles to report. This is the first new car I've ever bought. Did a lot of research and haven't regretted spending less money than my friends who bought Hondas and Toyotas. I'll be done with payments a year before they will be... If you want a reliable, sporty, economic, AND comfortable car consider an Elantra GT.
FANTASTIC!
Just returned from a 3000km round trip from Calgary to Vancouver Island. A lot of mountain driving - steep hills, lots of twists. The car handled like a sports car and was able to negotiate all but the slowest and steepest roads in 5th. Gas mileage 6.7litres/100km or 35mpg US. Drove at 60 - 75 mph where road conditions allowed. Researched this vehicle 1 year before buying. It's exceeded my wildest dreams.
