Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Solidly built, powerful engine for its class, plenty of standard features, ultralow price tag, long warranty.
Cons
- Poor offset crash test score, antilock brakes available only as a package option.
What’s new
The Elantra received a slight refresh for this year in the form of a new hood, deck lid, front and rear bumpers, grille, headlamps and taillights. Interior revisions include a redesigned instrument cluster, vents, center console and climate controls. The engine has been fitted with continuously variable valve timing, and it is now sold in SULEV or ULEV configurations (depending on the state in which it's purchased) which offer horsepower ratings of 138 and 132, respectively. The base GLS model now offers remote keyless entry as standard equipment, while GT models now have a Kenwood CD/MP3 audio system as standard.
Edmunds says
Between its low cost, solid performance, numerous features and long warranty, the Elantra presents one of the best values on the market in the economy class.

Best car I ever owned
ackr13,02/25/2014
GT 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 4A)
I bought my Hyundai new in April 2004. I now have 123,000 miles on and could not be more pleased. Besides replacing tires and brakes( front rotors one time) the only repairs have been Timing belt, water pump, belts, tune-up with plugs & plug wires and front struts all done at 100,000 miles. Runs as good as new with very little rattle. I did replace the hatch lid struts 2 years ago.I … average 24MPH in city driving, 32 on a trip.
Love this car. I will run it till it dies. I traded my wife's 2006 Elantra GT in on a 2012 Santa Fe. Don't regret it a bit. Another great vehicle.

Great car!!

GT 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 4A)
We've had our car since (I think) Spring of 2004. It is a great little car! Nearly everything about it is excellent! Pick-up and go is good except for when the AC is on and you are trying to get onto the freeway. The seats are a bit uncomfortable for long trips (2+ hours) though.
Our CD player/faceplate is glitchy after all these years. If you press a button (even the off button) too … hard it shorts out the faceplate and when you let go it turns back on. Sometimes it simply wont work unless you remove the face plate and put it back on.
Our car only has just less than 98,000 miles on it.

Buyers beware

GT 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
This car is not reliable. With a few
initial minor problems and after 4000
miles later, the engine leaks coolant.
A well-made car should not have this
kind of problem, IMHO. The point is,
you are buying a cheap car and that is
what you get. Their cheap service
comes as part of a cheap package,
too. Be warned. You are taking a risk.

Fine, but too much engine vibration

GT 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
Maybe I got the lemon, but there's too much engine vibration at 2500 rpm. My rear-view mirror sounds like it's trying to tell me something.

Should I lease or buy a 2004 Hyundai Elantra?
Is it better to lease or buy a car? Ask most people and they'll probably tell you that car buying is the way to go. And from a financial perspective, it's true, provided you're willing to make higher monthly payments, pay off the loan in full and keep the car for a few years. Leasing, on the other hand, can be a less expensive option on a month-to-month basis. It's also good if you're someone who likes to drive a new car every three years or so.
