So far, so good! Love the car...looks ALOT better than the 97 Elantra we traded in for it! Little funny acting in 3rd gear around town..kinda quirky or something, but straightens out at 2000 rpms. Only 1200 miles on it now, but so far this car's very good! I'd recommend one to anyone looking for a smaller family vehicle, without any worries.
A great car to own.

Let me just say that this has been a GREAT first car. I received this car as a hand me down from a careless previous owner who neglected it to the fullest. After giving it some much needed TLC and replacing many worn out parts, she was ready to take on the road again. Never once left me stranded. The engine is small and not very powerful, but is well built and can last a long time. Can’t say the same about the transmission; it is very fragile and needs to be taken extreme care of. Sadly, the transmission needed a full rebuild at 120k miles, but I’m sure a lot of this was due in part to the carelessness of the previous owner. The car now has 160k and shows no sign of wearing out. Maintenance was pretty inexpensive, but the car does use a timing belt and since the engine is an interference engine, the belt needs to be replaced every 60k. This is an expensive job and was my only real gripe with the car. If you are looking for an inexpensive vehicle, I highly recommend this one. I’d say it is comparable in reliability to Honda and Toyota. The only reason I’m parting with this car is I need a bigger vehicle and was ready for something newer. I wouldn’t hesitate to purchase one of these vehicles again.

What a great car! I was going to replace my Accent with another Accent, but after seeing and driving the Elantra hatchback, I was hooked. I got out the door for only $13k, and that included a moonroof and CD player. Considering it was only $2200 more than a sparsely equipped Accent GT, it was an incredible bargain. Handles great, extremely comfortable, engine is smooth and powerful, transmission is silky. It's too early to tell about reliability, but if it's like my '01 Accent, it will be a gem. My first tankful of gas gave me 35 mpg (mostly highway driving). Stylish car!

I traded my 02 Elantra GLS for an 05 Elantra GT 5dr. The GT rides a whole lot better because of the sport tuned suspension. Quality inside and out is excellent. I put 57,000 miles on my 02 Elantra without any problems and I expect the same for my 05. I love the style of the 05 GT 5dr. If your in the market, you really need to take a look at the Elantra and test drive one. You'll see the difference and also see how much money you'll be saving compared to the competition.
