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.

  Cant beat the value - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By teamjdc - July 30 - 10:00 am

  The fit and finish is as good as, or better than, any car in its class. The standard features beat the pants off of the competition and the price speaks for itself.

  nice car - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By guppiechic - July 24 - 10:00 am

  Great car for the money. Expensive looking fit and finish. It has been mistaken for a Saab and a Lexus! I have driven 17000+ miles in the past 9 months without any problems. It does have a few interior rattles, but I live in an area with terrible ruts and pot holes everywhere. All in all, I am very satisfied with my purchase.

  What an awesome value!!! - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By Daninny - June 17 - 10:00 am

  Awesome value, what else can I say about my 2002 Hyundai Elantra? I am a college student who was in the market for a great car at a great price and I found it. The car looks like it is worth far more then the $14,500 I paid for it - Im often told that the front end looks like that of a BMW and rare end a Mercedes. The interor is simple yet sleek.

  Buy It - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By scottsaba - June 17 - 2:00 am

  Replaced a Civic LX with the GT, no comparison. The extras are wonderful, the sunroof appreciated. Best A/C I have ever had in any car. Snappy and responsive stick that is a great deal of fun to drive. No Squeaks or rattles. Smoooooth on the highway and VERY comfortable. Love the leather too! You cant beat the value with this car. Well made body panels are a plus. I gave the Civic to my daughter and I dont miss it one bit. The Hyundai is fun to drive, the Civic was always slow on the uptake and mushy to me.

  No reason to buy anything else - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By Bobbi B. - June 11 - 10:00 am

  I LOVE my Elantra. Although I did a ton of research when buying this car (it was my first new car), I was still slightly nervous about buying a Hyundai. After all, people often looked at me like I was crazy when I said that I was considering a Hyundai. A little over a year later, I have absolutely NO complaints. I havent had a single problem -- not even a rattle. The car has great pickup, even with the air conditioning on (something that Ive had problems with in the past). The interior includes all kinds of nice little conveniences that you wouldnt expect for such an inexpensive car. This car is a fantastic bargain.

  LITTLE CAR/BIG GUY/LOVE IT - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By Big G in Hollywood - April 29 - 10:00 am

  Im a big guy--62", 345 lbs. I also needed extra headroom--short legs, tall body. From the specs I saw on Edmunds, it looked like this car would fit, but I couldnt believe a Hyundai would even come close to being comfortable. I traded in my Ford Excursion for this because I run around Hollywood a lot. Wow, was I surprised. Its comfortable, its economical, and (so far) its reliable. Youre not going to find any other new car this great for less than $15,000.

  1 year update - 2002 Hyundai Elantra
  By Drvrage - March 26 - 2:00 am

  To give an update after one full year of driving in both the hot and cold of Canada I have to say Im still in love with my car. Still fun to drive, Zero problems. Still feels tight and downright zippy. If you dont get snow tires youll be sorry. Im buying mine in a couple of days to prepare for the snow. I also recently got stuck in super heavy fog and really appreciated the fog lights. Excellent car. No reservations in recommending it. It is a keeper.
