Overview & Reviews

The Elantra received a slight refresh for this year in the form of a new hood, deck lid, front and rear bumpers, grille, headlamps and taillights. Interior revisions include a redesigned instrument cluster, vents, center console and climate controls. The engine has been fitted with continuously variable valve timing, and it is now sold in SULEV or ULEV configurations (depending on the state in which it's purchased) which offer horsepower ratings of 138 and 132, respectively. The base GLS model now offers remote keyless entry as standard equipment, while GT models now have a Kenwood CD/MP3 audio system as standard.

• Solidly built, powerful engine for its class, plenty of standard features, ultralow price tag, long warranty.

• Poor offset crash test score, antilock brakes available only as a package option.

  Best $14,000 Ive ever spent - 2004 Hyundai Elantra
  By BadReligion702 - February 24 - 10:00 am

  A great car for the money. It feels like a much more expensive car then it is.

  A great value...for a budget performance - 2004 Hyundai Elantra
  By Loar55 - February 4 - 10:00 am

  Fun to drive. A load of features for the buck. Leather 4 whl discs. CD etc. Feels taughter and stops much better than our 03 GLS. But also feels heavier, and maybe not as fast. I have had 7 Toyotas and sell high-end cars for a living. Theres a lot of merit in these cars...especially when we bought two (one GLS and one GT) for under 25k out the door.

  Airbag - 2004 Hyundai Elantra
  By Johnar - December 17 - 2:00 am

  Airbig wount stay on on the passanger side. Hyundai has put a light for the passanger side seat. You have to have 50# for the airbag to activate. When you drive my car it goes on & off Sometimes it stay on. I have only had it 3 weeks and in the shop 4 times. Its now a lemon the law says they have to replace the car. The dealership gave me a new one off the lot and it did the same thing. Hyundai had a man to work on it and he said it was ok NOT! So The dealership called Hyundai no answer yet. Thanks for your time John

  Best of the Best - 2004 Hyundai Elantra
  By El Mac - December 11 - 2:00 am

  Dont look at Honda Civic, dont look at Toyota Corolla, go directly to Hyundai, and buy an Elantra GT Hatchback. I did the research, test drove, did more research, I bought the best of the best. The car is tight as a drum, drives like a dream, smooth automatic, fully loaded costs about the same as an entry-level competitor. Leather seats, Kenwood stereo, fog lights, cute rear and front end...hatchback with rear seats down flat holds almost as much cargo as the Honda CRV I traded in. Quality is outstanding.My wife and I also own a 2000 Volvo C70 convertible...I cant decide which one I like best!

  Drove from Massachusetts to Florida, have taken a 6 hour trip since then, and joy riding with my friends. With all of that since June the only problem Ive had is the brake pads (understandable) and and windshield problem, which is being worked out now. Good car.

  Love this little car - 2004 Hyundai Elantra
  By Kari Sands - November 4 - 2:00 am

  Although I have very few miles on this new car I do love it. My last car was a 1990 Saab and people that know me think this is a Saab as well. The lines are so similar. The car is very comfortable to drive and be a passenger in. I appreciate the space in the hatch back and the fold down seats. Controls are easy to understand and operate. In my opinion lots of car for a low price.

  My Elantra GT - 2004 Hyundai Elantra
  By tgoggin - November 4 - 2:00 am

  I have had my Elantra now for 9 months. Everything I researched about this car has proven out since I have bought it. Peppy engine, well appointed interior, great sound system, handles road noise well, and the best set of tires on economy class car I have ever seen. I looked at Civics, Toyotas, and Ford. The Ford product came close but the warranty on the Hyundai cant be beat.Oh did I mention a fully loaded (leather, wood grain dash, ABS, Traction control, Upgraded sound system, Michelins at 195)Elantra GT was still 3 Gs less than every other car in its class. And none had these options.
