Review: UPDATED 03/07/2004 -- My update is appended to the end of this review. UPDATED 11/30/2004 -- Appended to the end -------------ORIGINAL REVIEW------------- This review is about my Elantra GT. I've only had it for a short time, so I'll have to ...

Pros: features to cost ratio, buyer bargaining power, 4 wheel disc brakes, ABS, 6 speaker cd..

Cons: market perception = depreciation, weak rear speakers

The Bottom Line: Be apprehensive.. Do the research, and be surprised after the test drive !!

Review: Being asian, my inclination is towards compacts. More with less. And that is what you get with the Elantra GT. I was down to 3 vehicles: 03 Civic 4D Sport, 03 Corolla S, and 03 Elantra GT. The Corolla S was dumped early, although the outside is a bit ...

Pros: A complete list of standard features found on cars thousands more. Great fun to drive.

Cons: Trunk lid opens just far enough to smack my forehead!

The Bottom Line: No car, even at MSRP, comes fully-equipped like the Elantra GT. Mated to a 5-speed, it accelerates, corners, and stops like a true sports sedan. An exceptional value.

Review: I was looking for a small sports sedan under $20,000 that would be fun to drive, well-equipped, economical and feature an ample backseat for grandchildren and others. Before buying my Elantra GT sedan, I test-drove at least a dozen other cars in that ...

Pros: Put together nicely, quality feel. The absolute champ of bang for your buck.

Cons: Steering is a bit vague, engine feels a bit sluggish at times.

The Bottom Line: No compromises, it simply works. Reliability is never an issue. Anything can happen, but so far it hasn't.

Review: We've had our elantra for just over a year now, and it has held together rather nicely. They really did a good job with the interior furnishings. the gauges are all very clearly marked as well as the secondary controls. The heating and a/c controls are ...

Pros: Dependable, comfortable, good mpg, low maintenance

Cons: Halogen bulbs hard to change, bolt-on air filter and battery cover

The Bottom Line: Honda and Toyota quality, with better features, at a lower price and better warranty(even if purchased used)

Review: I drive for a courier service as an independent contractor and needed a dependable, economical,comfortable car that could last about 150-200,000 miles to replace my 1998 Sentra which was dying a slow death with only 120,000 on it. Consumer reports rated ...

Pros: Price, warranty, options, car configuration

Cons: a little underpowered

The Bottom Line: Great looks, great handling, lots of features, best warranty

Review: I was apprehensive about traveling cross country from Phoenix to Corpus Christi in a 2003 Elantra GT with my wife and two daughters. Two days there, two days back. I had a lot of time/miles to get to know my Elantra GT intimately. Each day we did 9 ...

Pros: Price, room (for a small car), features for pricepoint.

Cons: No inside hatch release/lock. Gas mileage. No rear seat light.

The Bottom Line: Highly recommended. Great warranty. Great dealership. Not to good on the mileage. We love our little Elantra.

Review: UPDATE:(4 Nov 2003) Zero problems with the car so far. Pleasantly surprised by the local dealer when they told me my first oil change/checkup was free. I didn't buy the car at this dealer, so that was cool. My wife drives the car the majority of the ti ...

Pros: perfect family sedan

Cons: a little small and a tiny engine

The Bottom Line: You get more for your money than you'd expect

Review: This car has little surprises everywhere for intanse slide out back seat cup holders,sholder strap s ...

Cons: nothing.

The Bottom Line: Definitely a good car at a good price. Many added features that will make you love it.

Review: My husband and I went out one day, just browsing, for a new car. We really didn't need one at the time, but we were bored so we thought we would just go look. Little did we know that we would be going home with a new car. We looked at several lots ...
