CarGurus' Review
The 2003 Hyundai Elantra comes with a single engine: a 135 hp, 2.0 liter inline 4-cylinder engine. Two transmissions are available: the standard 5 speed manual or the optional 4 speed automatic. Gas mileage is around 25 miles per gallon city miles and 33 highway miles. Certainly not a powerful car, the 2003 Hyundai Elantra has plenty to help drivers get from point a to point B.
Compared to luxury, touring sedans, the 2003 Hyundai Elantra may seem a little sparse, but there is plenty of comfort for the price. Air conditioning, cruise control, power windows and power locks a CD player, a trip computer, a leather steering cover and leather seats are all available, either standard or optional, depending on the trim, of which there are now three. The 4 door GT adds the lineup in 2003. In case the worst happens, driver, passenger and side airbags are standard on all three trims.
Owners seem to have a lot of great things to say about the 2003 Hyundai Elantra. The gas mileage is raved about, as are the few problems that the Elantra has. People like the way it looks and the way it drives. Like all cars, however, there were some commonly recurring issues. Due to the small engine, there is little acceleration. The interior parts and anything made of plastic aren't anything special, and the 2003 Hyundai Elantra doesn't hold resale value any better than a colander holds water. But if you can live with minor problems like these, then the 2003 Hyundai Elantra could be a fabulous commuter vehicle.

I have mixed feelings about this car. Sometimes it accelerated quickly, but other times it would take forever to get going. It had great brakes, they worked perfectly, and I didnt have to even think... More
“As Generic As It Gets.”
It's hard to imagine a duller car than the Elantra. I test drove one, and, let me put it this way. If you've driven any boring econo-box made in the last 15 years, you,ve driven an elantra. The engine... More
“03 Hyundai Elantra Gls”
It is a very reliable car, however the body gets dinged up easily. The car is great on gas mileage. And most performance parts have to come from Korea(talk about shipping costs alone). Definitely he b... More
“Handles Great, Just Slow Acceleration.”
This car is so cute, I named it tinkerbell because the door alarm is a higher pitched bell, which reminds me of timkerbell! She has a few stickers, one for ODU, one for OBX, one is tinkerbell, and the... More
“Decent, Affordable Compact Car”
Decent car... not as good gas mileage as I'd expect, but not awful. At 50,000 miles, not too many problems, aside from the hatchback hydraulic lift not working, the emergency brake snapped, and the i... More

“Love This Car”
i just started driving this car, but it is definitely a lot better than my old one! More
“Ugh... Horrible Thing”
Drove it for 2 years, you get them up to 60 mph and they shake due to a design flaw with the front axel (supposedly fixed in a recall). Smoothed out past 80 mph though! More
“Great Car!”
Great Car, good quality, very reliable. Handles great, good gas mileage. More
“Highly Reccommended In That Price Range”
for the price it seems an excellent value, and I would buy another if needed. Good safety ratings, runs smoothly, decent gas mileage, and quite reliable. More
