  A Lot of Value - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By PWesch - January 1 - 10:00 am

  After 18 months and 24000 I still think my Elantra provides the most value in the price class. It could benefit from more low end torque, especially when the AC is on. Otherwise, the car is fun to drive has a comfortable interior. My driver side heated mirror didnt work from day one, but was replaced under warranty and there have been no other problems.

  Live and Learn - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By txgal76 - December 19 - 5:21 pm

  I thought it was a good purchase for the money. They Hyundai has treated me better than my last car (Saturn) but the costs in maintenance and repairs has become too much. I will not purchase a Hyundai again. Too many issues with this car. Spend the extra money and get a higher end vehicle.

  Checked NHTSA web site for similar air bag complaints, and found many people complaining about frontal crashes where air bags failed to deploy. Ill never buy a hyundai again! I dont feel safe in it at all!

  A Great Experience All Around - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By JayCee - October 31 - 10:00 am

  This is my first experience owning a foreign car and so far, its been a great one. My Elantra has been a ot of fun to drive. I have 20K miles on it and the only problem so far has been a burned out headlight which was easily replaced. I have the smooth shifting 5 speed and get great gas mileage. My friends call it the K Beamer (as in Korean BMW). Great looking exterior fit and finish, a very functional and well though out interior and a larger then expected trunk. My Hyundai dealer has also been a pleasure to work with. I plan to by the larger Sonata for the family later this year. Way to go Hyundai!

  Best Bet for a get-a-bout - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By mrs613 - October 25 - 10:00 am

  This car is a champ! Quality is amazing for the price. Did fantastic in a drivers side t-bone crash...no injuries (except my anger of a 4 month old car being hit!) Gas mileage over 30mpg running the a/c. I have hauled bedroom furniture, an adult with a broken leg and been on serious shopping excursions...all seperate occassions, yet plenty of extra room.

  Looks sharp, performs well - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By john lees - October 5 - 2:20 pm

  The car is laied out well with simple yet ample controls. It is loaded with standard features and the extras are nice too. Has a lot of zip for a 4 and corners well too. Fuel economy was about 35 highway and 21 city. Doors sound solid when closed. Hatch is nice and roomy. Stereo good, but audiophile will want aftermarket sound.

  By mostafaelgamal - September 12 - 3:15 am

  bought in 2001 had minor problems but warranty covered it especially the transmission was leaking @ 95K, and the dealer fixed the problem at no charge and made all the recalls on the car too. didnt do any other repair except the regular maintenance for 4 years now. Had all the luxury I want except navigation at a low price

  Your Moneys Worth PLUS - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By RJones - September 1 - 12:26 pm

  I wanted a reliable, fuel-efficient, 4- dr sedan with a sporty look, but could not afford a Honda. I found the that the Elantra had comparable features but priced much lower. I bought the Elantra with 64K miles (& an extended warranty - just in case) and I dont regret my decision, it runs like like a dream. So far its been an excellent car - no work necessary. Its roomy enough for my 62 boyfriend to drive comfortably. I get about 26 mpg (highway & city mix.) It handles metropolitan rush hour traffic very well and it looks good doing it. I would definitely consider another Hyundai when I am looking for my next car.
