Overview & Reviews

In an effort to mold its image into that of a serious first-rate automobile manufacturer, Hyundai has recently added standard equipment and enhanced the performance of several of its cars. The redesigned Accent and new Sonata are proving that this South Korean automaker has finally learned how to build a good car. The current Elantra provides even more proof, and the company offers an industry-leading warranty program to back it up.

• Solidly built, powerful engine for its class, plenty of standard features.

• The price on this "inexpensive" Korean car keeps going up.

  185,000 miles and still going strong! - 2000 Hyundai Elantra
  By Blondie - June 8 - 12:57 pm

  I bought my car used in 2002 and have not had any problems with it whatsoever except the front middle console lid breaking off since I bought it. I have 185,000 miles on my car and have never had anything go wrong with it (knock on wood). I would highly recommend this car to any commuter. Best car Ive ever owned. If Hyundai made an AWD car instead of the larger SUVs Id go out and buy one in a heartbeat!

  Great Car !! - 2000 Hyundai Elantra
  By Freddie - December 23 - 10:21 am

  Well I just rolled over 200K with mine. Bought this thing in 2001 with just a few thousand on it ( demo car) and have never had any trouble with this car. Never put me on the side of the road ( besides a broken belt twice) and has given me great MPG even though i tend to drive fast. It has been wrecked 4 times and even with hard hits in the back all that was replaced was a trunk and back bumper. If your looking for a used car with great MPG ( almost 30 )and reliability then I highly suggest this model.

  Too Good to be True - 2000 Hyundai Elantra
  By Disgruntled - October 22 - 2:40 pm

  I bought my Elantra in 2003 with just 38,000 miles on it. I thought I was getting a steal at just $5,000 for a 3 year old car...man it was a steal...stealing my money. In the five years I owned my elantra, I had to replace the engine (due to a bad thermostat), 3 different water pumps, power steering pump, alternator, and I had 3 of the power windows stop working. I fixed the drivers side door for a nice $500 chunk of change. I decided the rest werent worth it. Gas mileage steadily declined from a nice 34 to around 20

  Bought this car new, and hate to trade it. Put 100,000 on it without any major problems.

  Great for a lil beater - 2000 Hyundai Elantra
  By NYSchenkel - February 4 - 9:00 am

  I bought this car to commute to work .. I live in upstate NY and commute to westchester, NYC and Long Island for work depending on the day. This car is great. Shifts smooth [ I got the 5spd ] I have 232,789 miles on it and it runs like it is brand new .. Everything works [ pw, pl, and mechanical ]. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone. Fun little car to drive. Although it could be easier on the eyes.

  Not Bad at all - 2000 Hyundai Elantra
  By Elizabeth - June 2 - 9:53 am

  As a newly licensed teen with not a lot of money I needed something reliable and safe. But at the same time I couldnt afford a big SUV with high gas-mileage or a newer car. Also, I wanted something cute, but most older cars look blocky and ugly. I got it all in my trusty 2000 Elantra for a low price. I just love my car and my parents actually like it too, so win- win. Ive had it since July and havent had any problems except I had to have the spark plugs and wiring replaced and a routine oil change. Its been a great car though.

  Still going strong after 210,000 miles - 2000 Hyundai Elantra
  By Bought new - May 20 - 4:14 pm

  Upon deciding if I wanted a new car or not, my thought was basically this: Invest 1,200 dollars into an 8 year old car with 209,000 miles, and drive it for 2 more years, or buy a new one and have a 500 a month car payment for 3 years. I no longer drive 35,000 miles a year, so the deciding factor for me was doing a compression test on the engine. It was still well within factory specs., and it uses NO oil between oil changes. The body is still in good shape, everything still works fine. Why buy a new one? I will say I have changed the oil every 3k miles with fully synthetic oil, Slick 50 every 50,000 miles, timing belt with exterior belts every 60k, and regular tune-ups.

  I [heart] my Hyundai! - 2000 Hyundai Elantra
  By Petrina - May 17 - 6:14 pm

  This is the second Hyundai Ive owned (first was an Excel). Bought it used 6 years ago and havent had a major issue, just routine maintenance. The one thing that I would note with Hyundais is that some minor issues do crop up-- like, the drivers side power window is out of alignment, the lid to the storage compartment b/w the seats broke off, the front passenger door is a little tough to open no matter how much its lubricated. Like I said, all MINOR issues. Its a VERY reliable vehicle and I would DEFINITELY buy an Elantra again.

  Not reliable after 100k - 2000 Hyundai Elantra
  By Michael - October 21 - 3:10 am

  I was the 2nd owner, and had it for miles 77K through 114K. During that time, I replaced: front rotors, cracked exhaust manifold (free recall fix), plugs and wires, window regulator, o2 sensor, washer pump, horn, wiring, transmission (OUCH!). The previous owner had replaced the mass air flow sensor and throttle positions sensor. The entire exhaust rusted out too-- salt is tough up here though. Still, thats a lot of repairs for ~30K! And I did the timing belt stuff and tires, which is routine-- but it hurts to do all that and then have the tranny go.
