2001 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America

The dashboard clock is one of a few problems with the car. The clock will fade on and off. Sometimes the clock would show and sometimes not at all.

Airbags are a problem, I took it in for the recall which they didn't even do much since the airbag light remains on.

Headlights burn out so fast. I don't know why this is.

Excellent car. I had gotten this car in June 2008 with 146,800 miles on it from a Toyota dealership. I picked out this car because I could not find another 4 door car with power door locks, and windows for or under $5,000. I have driven 10,000 miles on it and those 10,000 miles were driven with pride.

For being a Hyundai this car has great acceleration. I use to drive a Mazda Protege and was very sluggish. I have driven Honda Civics and were also very sluggish, unlike the Elantra.

Smooth ride. Rough roads don't give the Elantra any trouble. Will fly through the streets smoothly.

The cabin is okay. It could use more backseat space.

Stereo is great also as in the speakers, I put in a JVC Cd Player with Aux input and the stock speakers are great. No fuzzy noises nor rattling.

Plain looks but stylish at the same time. The Elantra has a different look to it.

Owning this car for almost 6 months has been great. Everything about it is awesome. I got it for a real good deal. Will be taking a 6 hour road trip to Arizona sometime in 2009 in the 01 Elantra.
