2003 Hyundai ELANTRA consumer reviews

I've owned mine for 5 years and barely done any additional maintenance (outside of oil changes, tires, brakes, etc.). Great insurance rates, gets an average of 25 mpg (I commute 16 miles to work, half highway, half city), and the engine is still pretty solid after 160,000 miles. It's nothing fancy, just something to get you from point A to B. Definitely a great "starter" or commuter car.

This was a great first car to own. It got me where needed to go. It looked nice and worked great. I highly suggest this car.

This car has good interior and trunk space for a small vehicle. It hasn't given me any trouble and drives well.

This was my first car so I didn't know what to expect but the seating was comfortable, easy to drive, and was very reliable. If it has low mileage and everything is all checked out it is a good fit. I used it to drive to college so I'm not sure how it is for road trips.

I think this is a strong car , I used to drive a Chevy Silverado and gas prices were killing me, I purchased the Hyundai Elantra , the best decision I could have ever made

And it is still going (mostly) strong! My repair bills have been reasonable for years (likely due to the fact that I found a great mechanic).

I purchased a 2003 Hyundai Elantra for my 17 year old daughter. I was looking for a safe, reliable and affordable car Of course buying a car this old comes with some minor problems. I was happy to see that Bob and Chad took responsibility for these repairs out of no money from my pocket . The vehicle looked almost brand new and they took the time to detail it before turning it over to us.

Bought my 2003 elantra new. Great car not much problems with it. The paint job peeled a little, but my biggest problem with this car is that the dash board is falling apart. Did anyone else have this problem?

Excellant car for the money. I have 195,000 mils on the car and it is still runnig great. Very little ever went wrong with the car during the past 10 years. The engine is strong and just keepss running. My only negative is the paint is poor, and fading. I have noticed that on many Hyundais of that age period. Otherwise very good car for the money.

I purchased a used Hyundai Elantra_2003 on 2007. I was on very tight budget, so it was the only car I could afford for less than $ 5 K. It had 50,000 miles, 1year of warranty and lots of nice features (sunroof, leather seats, cruise ctrl, etc). I can't complain so far. I had to replace a throttle positioning sensor, the battery, a relay for the fuel pump and the timing belt (as it was recommended), but it's been 8 years of use. It still drives smoothly, AC is OK and the brakes are excellent. My only complaint is how difficult it is to change the front light bulbs.
