My experience
I love my little "old" car! I have kept up the general maintainence, and am pleased with its performance. I have low miles, and the paint has held up, so I plan to keep it at the present time. I was not pressured in to buying a new or newer car by the staff, and I appreciated their honesty in agreeing that I have had good service from my 2003 car.

2003 Elantra GT Hatchback
I bought my car "newly used" , over 10 years ago, and LOVE it! It's fun to drive (manual shift), has a lot of pep, and everything I want out of a car .It is starting to need some work here and there, but it has all been pretty routine stuff for a car with 124,000 miles on it. Much better than car payments ,and, having all of the things I DONT want, or need on a car. If I could buy a new one just like it, I probably would!

HYUNDAI DEPENDABILITY
Purchased my car in 2003. This was my first experience with HYUNDAI, however, they offered a great warranty and a reasonable price tag. After checking it out, I thought the car was sporty and I loved the sunroof. The service department made it simple to care for my car. My car is now 15 years old and I am 74. Moving soon to Florida; now my Elantra and I will become Beach Bunnies!

my 2003 Hyundai Elantra
I purchased my Elantra brand new in 2003. I have had very good luck with this car. It is dependable and has very few major repairs. It's getting old but I think I'll hang on to it a couple more years.

Love my 2003 Elantra
I brought this car used , it's been the best , as long as you keep oil an replace parts needed it'll get you there, sometimes I have to wait on repairs , but Hyundai keeps it moving , even if I get the new santa fe I'm considering keep my Elantra , I do keep oil changes no later then 1,000 miles over , but other repairs I have to wk in an it's never let me down ?????

Very nice and reliable car. My Elantra has over 100 miles and still runs great. No major mechanical problems, all it needs is regular maintenance.

2003 Hyundai Elantra
I enjoy the car, and its gas mileage. Could have a better driver's side cushion, and on the driver's side, on the door, arm rest. Both molded to my body, with the door arm rest developing a hole. At the salvage yards the ones that they had all had the same hole in the driver's side on the door arm rest. I have about 450,000 miles on it, and had a Honda before then with about the same mileage, before they were both tagged by a deer. The Honda didn't develop those problems no where near their degree. The Hyundai was totaled by a hailstorm about three (3) months ago, and I chose to take a lesser dollar amount and keep it. Before I hit the deer this past Friday I was going to let my son have it next month - this week - for my insurance deductible amount. Lost the left headlight and AC fluid somehow, haven't opened the hood due to the same situation with the Honda, once opened, things didn't fit back as they were. All fluids except the AC are intact and the car still runs. Will keep it till the license expires at the end of the year. My son still wants it.

Hasn't got all the bells and whistle's that newer models have but I love the way it drives and looks. It's easy to see out the back, easy to park and is great for around town or for road trips (all around U.S. 2013). If lever buy another car I'll look at Hyundai first!

One of the best vehicles I have ever owned. Voss keeps it running like a top for me. 180,000 miles on it with no (knock on wood) major issues at all. My next car would definitely be another Hyundai.

Not really a con, but I wish I would have had my windows tinted and maybe had a moon roof put on.
