Best Car I've owned

Bought this car Feburary 2003 with 7k miles on for $11,300 and still own it into 2012 and don't plan on selling it. It has 106k miles on it now and the only problems i've had with the car were the e-brake cable boot came off when driving in snowy conditions and the cable froze. Warenty covered it. My blower motor quit working on low speed which was also replaced under warrenty. My map sensor failed at 98k miles and the vehicle died. it started up 20 minutes later and was able to make it to a repair shop. I am hard on vehicles and I will admit I bought this vheichle for the warrenty. I drive it hard everyday and it keeps on running smooth averageing 33 mpg.
My best car ever!

I have had many cars over the years, and this is by far the best car I have ever had! I bought it when it was 2 years old and had about 20,000 miles on it. Today is the first time I have had to replace anything, back brakes, and it has 95,000 miles on it! Otherwise I have only had oil changes and new tires. I plan to drive it for 2 more years and then give it to my daughter when they turn 16 - it will be a great first car for her. When I get another car for me, I will definitely get another hyundai! (And the hatchbback is wonderful - it's like having a SUV)

Overall Good Experience with this Car

I had a good experience with this car overall but not good enough to buy another Hyundai. On the plus side, you get a lot of features for the money; on the down side, you tend to get what you pay for. In 3 years, I never had any major problems (other than clutch going out after 12 months due to San Francisco hills), but had lots of minor problems: brake lights constantly going out, cruise control went out, CDs stuck in CD player, worn-out floor mats, paint dinged easily. That said, the car was mechanically sound and suited my needs well as a basic city car. Wouldn't buy another Hyundai, a) because I can afford something better now and b) because I can't get past its inherent cheapness.

I've been pretty disatisfied with the poor gas mileage I've been getting the longer I've owned this car. When it was new, I was getting about 28 mpg in the city, but that was still less than my average 30 mpg I'd been getting from my '94 Mazda Protege. Also, performance has suffered, too. Now it seems like the engine isn't breathing right. I've taken it in to my local dealer and they've been great! But my mpg continues to decline; I'm now getting barely 23 mpg/city, 29 mpg/highway. Also had some hesitation problems upon intial ignition; FYI, there is a fix for this at your dealer. Ask them to update the software on your car's computer.

Purchased used as daily driver. Very nice features and interior were standard on this model when new. Easy to maintain and build quality is apparent on this 17 year old Elantra GT. A comfortable, reliable used car that is fun to drive and easy to load stuff in. - Minor flaw would be the 5-speed gear ratios that make it economical but with slow acceleration under 4000 rpm.

I totally love this car. I drove from Mass to Florida and back to Mass with this car full of stuff. I have about 79,000 miles on it now. Still runs great. I had good luck with dealers in Mass and in Florida. I get regular oil changes and tires when needed. Brought this car brand new. Great 1st car for me. Do you see how much the 2010 Honda Accord Crosstour looks like the Elantra GT.

Purchased in 2002, put 38,500 miles on it since. Only complaint: brakes started to wobble at 15K, dealer said the rotors need to be resurfaced. Supposedly the extreme temperature differences in the AZ mountains warped the metal. Not covered by warranty! That stinks, especially since my brake pads are still over 1/2 good. Car is roomy for my huge dog with the seats folded. Tires and FWD perform well in snow at 7,000 feet. Love this car and will buy another Hyundai when this one is out of warranty - despite the brakes. I just live with the wobble. Had Chevy, Grand Marquis, Audi before. The GT is the most reliable by far.

I looked at buying a new car for a long time and I am happy I went with the Elantra and even happier that I decided on the GT. This is a great car. And as long as it doesn't end up being a turkey like every other car I owned (the latest being a '96 Plymouth Neon) I will remain happy. This car has a good smooth ride, and is comfortable to drive.

Great car for the money. Expensive looking fit and finish. It has been mistaken for a Saab and a Lexus! I have driven 17000+ miles in the past 9 months without any problems. It does have a few interior rattles, but I live in an area with terrible ruts and pot holes everywhere. All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

After much research and two test drives, my wife and I turned in our leased 1999 VW Jetta and purchased a red 2002 Elantra GT demo w/pkg. 11. We love it and can't believe the price we paid. The car is powerful, quiet and well laid out. After 3,000 miles we don't have one complaint. Go Hyundai.

For what the Elantra GT costs and what you get for the money , it is very hard to beat .. I have had mine for 6 months and have almost 11k on it sofar and i am very please with the car . I own a accent with 170+k miles on it so buying another Hyundai wasn't a problem . They have shown me they make good cars . The base model has all the options you could want from a car and for 15k or under it can't be beat .

I've had my civic for 5 years and was reluctant to go through the car-buying process. After hours and hours online and in dealerships, looking at Corollas, Civics, and Focuses, my fiance's brother recommended a Hyundai - - he got an Elantra GLS. As soon as we stepped foot on the lot I noticed the GT, and as soon as I sat in it I fell in love! We ran home to do some online research -- this car has gotten some great reviews -- and went back to 'haggle' over a price. The guy was actually great to work with, they took our first offer in the low $14s. I LOVE IT! And can't believe there aren't more of these on the road.

I have had my Elantra GT for approximately half a year now. It has 6,000 + miles and I've had 0 problems. When I first got the vehicle, I assumed that they must have gone cheap somewhere. If they have I haven't found it yet. They've even gone so far as to put rubber inserts into the knobs so that your fingers don't slip off. It's a ball to drive and everything works all the time without fail. An excellent buy at any 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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Through both parents, I get a substantial discount on 3 major brands of cars that offer similar vehicles to the Elantra. Lots of research later, IN SPITE OF the discounts for other brands, I still got the Elantra. Everyone, including myself, is amazed at what you get for the price in the GT. Great car.

The most standard features @ the best price in the market. Interior detail is sensitive to comfort, design, performance.Others comment my GT looks like a SAAB!Quiet and peppy powertrain. Warranty is untouchable.Drawback=lackluster trade- in value.Dealers say this is changing, but so is dealer attitude:they're becoming arrogant. Some said my researched figures were bogus,or tried to short--change me on my trade. Found and honest dealer and got a fair trade+$500 under invoice on GT.I bought discontinued Cranberry Color(replaced with weak Chianti Red).warranty is untouchable.

This car was ok at first. Nothing fancy although it's always been terribly uncomfortable on your back. The leather seats are hard and have never softened up. Now at 75K miles all four struts need to be replaced and there is a weird humming from the rear end. It leaks water going through the car wash - always has. Some rust on the rear wheel well, thought it would have held up better than that, but maybe because of the salty winter roads. Have replaced all the brake pads and tires, to be expected. The clear coat is chipped up pretty bad on the hood from gravel? I waxed it (black) and every pit showed up white from the wax. Oh and the hatchback struts? wont keep the hatch open anymore-Annoying
Almost perfect

I researched cars in this class for months before taking the plunge. I bought the Elantra GT to replace my wife's Neon Sport. We both have past racing experience and realy enjoy driving a good-performing car. The GT has most of what I was looking for and is the only car out there that offers so much for so little.

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!!!

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,
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).

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"

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-

Car rides really smooth, handles sharp, and comes with every option you could possibly want, plus looks better than any other car in its price range. If you compare this car to any other one in its class, it will win by a landslide, no contest.

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.

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.

This car does not seem to have two separate braking lines. We had a back brake line leak, that left us with no braks at all. This could have caused a accident if it had not happened on our drive way. I thought it was a required on all cars to have separate lines coming from the master cilider to the front and back,so that if you get a leak you don't looses all your braking. This car has only one brake line out. This would be a good reason not buy this car. We like the car other wise but did have trouble with fuel pump $800 worth and trans mission sensor $400. After market Parts are hard to get thus forcing to go to dealer and pay there prices.

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.

I think this car is an undiscovered value. All other 5 door Hatchbacks I look at were over $2,000 more plus no 10 year - 100,000 mile warranty! Also the list of standard equipment is impressive (leather, 4-wheel dics brakes, alloy wheels, CD, etc., keyless/alarm, etc.) Great driving around town or on the inter-state!

Dropped it with some Eibach Springs and threw on some 18" wheels and my neihbor with a Lexus IS300 is jealous becuase the kids in the neighborhood think mine looks better. I get heads to turn all over town and people in parking lots are always asking me if it really is a Hyundai. Couldn't be happier.

WOW. This beautiful Carbon Blue GT AMAZING. Comfortable, loaded with features, and ride quality more like that expected from a luxury car. The car ride quiet; sits up tall, smoothe and silky compared to Civic EX. Amazingly, the GT $3-4K less than Civic EX . GT's ride is smoother, quieter, and the stereo better sounding. However, paint finish quality on the Civic superior. Considering other amenities like fog lights, digital clock, heated mirrors, leather seats, the Hyundai comes out ahead. Four wheel disk brakes--stopping power galore. Acceleration good. Car sturdiness and safety features (including side air bags) totally up to snuff.

What a gem-I looked for 3 months- researching cars-Hondas, Toyota...(I thought that would be the ONLY car I would ever buy). I noticed an Elantra GT on the highway-was very curious-and started to research. After the test drive I was hooked...Fabulous car...Highly recommend!
