Used 2002 Hyundai Elantra Hatchback Consumer Reviews
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).
Buy It
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.
A fun car for a cheap price!
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!
I love my Elantra GT
I've had my red Elantra GT for almost a year now. I went from an Accent to an Elantra GT and its amazing how different the vehicles are. Obviously the prices alone are going to make a difference, but for the price, I could not be happier with my car. Not only do I love how it looks externally and internally, it has pretty good pick up. I'm a twenty year old college student and its perfect if you want a mature, good looking car.
Best car ever
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.
