Overview & Reviews

Hyundai's Elantra sedan was redesigned last year, but the big news for 2002 is the release of the GT version, an all-new five-door hatchback that boasts such upscale standard equipment as a leather-trimmed interior, European suspension tuning, four-wheel disc brakes, 15-inch wheels, foglamps and a CD player. In September 2002, Hyundai announced that it had misstated the horsepower ratings for all of the models in its lineup -- the Elantra is now rated at 135 hp, rather than 140. To compensate, the company is offering owners (of 2000 models and newer) three options: 10 years of roadside assistance, 6-year/72,000-mile basic warranty coverage or 12-year/120,000-mile powertrain coverage.

• Solidly built, powerful engine for its class, plenty of standard features, ultra-low price tag.

• Funky front styling details.

  All 10s!! - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By ToddF - March 31 - 2:00 am

  Face it...You are not going to find a better deal anywhere. Hyundai is not the company they used to be. What other car manufacture would stand behind their product for 10 years if they were junk? The Elentra GT is a great car. It is well built, solid, powerful and inexpensive. What other car are you going to get all power, LEATHER, alloy wheels, 4 wheel disc brakes, a/c, 6 speaker CD stereo for under $15,000? And those cool purple illuminated instruments are nice too! I LOVE THIS CAR!!

  Reliable and roomy - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By Astrid Klocke - March 24 - 1:40 am

  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.

  Great car - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By Jennifer - March 21 - 6:06 pm

  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 doesnt 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.

  3rd Hyundai 2nd Elantra and loving it - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By Gman - February 15 - 2:00 am

  Ive had my GLS for two months now, and I love it. Smile everytime I have to drive somewhere. Made a few of my coworkers mad after taking them for a drive(One had just bought a Sentra for $14000 and the other bought an Echo for $12500) and I told them I only paid $10500 and their cars dont have all the stuff the Elantra comes with standard.

  Blown Away by my new Hyundai - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By dbraun - January 7 - 10:30 am

  I wasnt looking for a Hyundai at all. After seeing the quality and driving this vehicle, i was sold. I paid under $14,000 for this car with CD, Alarm, keyless entry and power everything. I was looking at a Civic but this is what the Civic used to be. I am blown away.

  What a great little car - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By cintidriver - December 24 - 10:00 am

  Bought the car in February and 9000 miles so far with no problems. My wife was extremely skeptical when I bought this car, but driving is believing, and she now drives it more than I do. Purchased without ABS and sunroof for $11,300. Great experience at dealership, and friendly service since. Car handles much better than expected for this class and comfortably seats my entire family. Originally bought as secondary vehicle to get me to and from work, but has quickly become the primary mode of transportation for my family.

  Love this car - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By Manton863 - November 15 - 1:32 am

  This car is great it is roomy and fun to drive and holds up well with day to day driving. Like the rear disk brakes but only if you have abs. I have found that if you put fuel injector cleaner and a stp 4 cylinder oil treatment every time you do the oil, (which is only another couple bucks) you get alot better gas mileage out of the car.
