  Satisfied with my Elantra - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By Jessa - October 17 - 2:00 am

  My elantra has been dependable and comfortable. I made the purchase because of the warranty. There have been several trips to the shop to repair sensors, the same ones most of the time. It has been a few months now and it seems to be taken care of. The pop open lid for the gas tank sticks a lot. Overall its a good car for the money.

  great car-horrible dealership - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By Elantraman - August 30 - 10:00 am

  I have been extremely pleased with this vehicle. great ride, comfortable, fast, great stereo system, traction control ABS, leather seats, etc. However, I have had numerous problems with the black tape around the doors which continually "peel." They have been replaced 3x and counting!!!!! Stay clear from Huntington Hyundai- New York. Horrible service department! Not concerned about customer satisfaction after they sell you a vehicle!

  Great car for the money. - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By ChrisBier - April 30 - 2:00 am

  Have had only one problem when I brought the car. Alternator did not function properly. The dealership ordered the part and it was replaced within a week. Car is always on the road.

  Its been Great - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By Brian3 - October 16 - 10:00 am

  This was my second new car purchase and I had been researching the Elantra for a while. I was really impressed with the standard features, reviews by other owners and the price. It has been reliable with no real problems. The only complaints I have are the drivers seat doesnt adjust very well. It seems to move with me like it is not latching very well. I havent had a chance to take back for a check-up on that. My other is just about the dealership. Their selling practices are a little "high pressure". Other than that, I am very pleased with my Hyundai Elantra.

  First full year - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By jimbeaumi - October 10 - 10:00 am

  My 2001 GLS 5-speed rolled 15K shortly after turning a year old July 9. This car has performed wonderfully during its first four seasons here in Michigan, with only oil changes and tire rotations. No mechanical problems, no recalls. Interior is very comfortable, HVAC is incredibly efficient, audio is good, and it is still very fun to drive. Two very minor but persistent noises (a buzz, a rattle) are present in my vehicle, noticeable only because the interior is otherwise very quiet. This has been my best car thus far. Happy!!

  So far so good, no problems - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By dercat - September 22 - 2:00 am

  Bought this from Colorado for a cheap second car. Excellent gas milage. Drove from Amarillo TX to Dallas TX and all around Dallas on 14 gallons of gas. Hard to drive the speed limit, feels like you are crawling. Will be easy to get tickets in. Comfortable, reliable so far. Car was a dealer demo for a Hyundai executive. Bought it with 11,000 miles and now has 24,000 miles. Went ahead and got the 100,000 mile warranty and have not been to the shop yet. Resale seems a little low, trying to sell at this point as I no longer need the car.

  Watch Out For Faulty Airbags!!!!!! - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By itfigures - August 6 - 10:00 am

  Though we loved our GT, weve had problems with the front/passengar airbags twice (dealer had to replace module once, then the connector). AND, when we got into a front-end collision at 35mph (hit a truck t-bone), our airbags failed to deploy. Dealership is giving us the runaround as is Hyundai corporate. Just watch out.

  Not worth it - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By connedout - July 4 - 2:00 am

  Check engine light was on and had to take it to dealer 4 times for fixing. The canister was leaking (imagine, on a 1 year old car!). 1 month back the cassette player got screwed. Resale value really sucks. Major service required every 6 months. Spent almost $600 on service the 1st year!! If you consider all this and the fuel economy, buying a Honda/Toyota really works out cheaper. Do your math, find out the true cost. Buy this ONLY if upfront cost is really important to you. Even then, I would recommend buying a used Honda/Toyota instead of a new Hyundai.

  workhorse - 2001 Hyundai Elantra
  By altaylor5 - May 6 - 10:00 am

  Have had the elantra for 2 years, driven it over 60,000 miles, and still love it. PROS: Comfortable quiet ride, 80 mph no sweat, drivable and good handling, has a "bigger car" feel when driving it, especially does well on express way. CONS: Although car has plenty of pickup once you get going over 25 mph, the first 0-25 mph is sluggish, some of the inside trim is cheaply made.
