Fantastic Car no matter what the price

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.

I like my Elantra GT more and more every day. Solidly built with a lot of attention to detail and an incredible value for the money, I have no regrets on buying this car. It's a Saab at half the price!

Just 2 weeks so far but I'm impressed. My GT has everything I want in a refined package. If things continue going well this will be a very sought after vehicle for Hyundai.

Not just a great value, a great car.

I visited dealerships every day over a full week and test drove almost a dozen competing vehicles. I still can't believe that exactly the right car for me was also the cheapest. Of course this car isn't for everybody. But if you care about driving enjoyment, comfort, and most of all utility, test drive this car immediately! Besides looking great, the interior is highly functional and the seats are very comfortable for long drives. For some people, the exterior of any hatchback takes getting used to. But it won't take long to appreciate all that cargo area! Just don't be surprised when everybody asks you about your new Saab (or Lexus).

The Hyundai Elantra GT 2002 is an amazing car for the price! I have the automatic with the moonroof/abs and traction control. So far, I have not run into any problems of the car being too slow. If your buying this car, your main goal isn't to burn rubber against a corvette so who cares about the speed. But it's honestly fast enough for everyday driving and fun as heck in the city; mainly because of its cornering ability. It grips the road with ease at every turn. If you get the hatchback styling, you'll always have enough room for more than enough stuff to throw in the trunk, especially with the seats down. All in all, a worthy investment!
