2000 Hyundai Elantra Preview summaryImage

The 2000 Hyundai Elantra continued the now established Elantra line into the new millennium. Certainly not a powerhouse touring sedan, the 2000 Hyundai Elantra only came with a single engine: a 140 hp, 2.0 liter inline 4-cylinder engine. This engine came with two transmission options, as so many sedans do: the standard 5 speed manual or the optional 4 speed automatic. Gas mileage is pretty good, with 22-24 miles per gallon city miles and 31-33 highway miles. And the 2000 Hyundai Elantra is a decent size, 174 inches long and 67 wide.

By no means is the 2000 Elantra a luxury vehicle. The 2000 Hyundai Elantra only has those comforts and conveniences that most cars came with then. Air conditioning comes standard, as does a tilt steering column, power windows, power locks, a radio and a cassette player. Options include cruise control, a CD player, and a manual sunroof. Safety features include standard driver and passenger airbags, with optional anti-lock brakes.

Owners of the 2000 Hyundai Elantra seemed to recognize it for what it was, a low-cost sedan for people who need to get from place to place simply. Many people had no problems whatsoever with the Hyundai Elantra, though Hyundai's reputation for low quality does seem to have some basis in fact. Many people found the interior of the 200 Hyundai Elantra to be flimsy and poorly crafted. The backseat and trunk left a lot to be desired, at least as far as space goes. However, engine problems did not seem to be much of an issue for most owners. The 2000 Hyundai Elantra seemed to be a highly recommended inexpensive car.

I WOULD LIKE FOR MY ENGINE LIGHT TO GO OFF. AND I THINK THAT I HAVE A VACCUM LEAK IN MY EXHAUST SYSTEM. AND I THINK SOMEONE TURNED THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH OFF BY USING CODES TO TURN THEM OFF. Jul 05, 2014

Unfortunately, I'll probably be giving this car to my daughter soon. It's been a fantastic vehicle even though I haven't always had the money to take care of it like I should. After 12 years it's a lot louder than it used to be, but it still starts right up and has a lot of zip. There have been some repairs, but nothing out of the ordinary for a car this old -- except for the windows. Three of the cars windows have malfunctioned, and this is not an uncommon problem with the Elantra of this vintage. I paid to have the driver's side, front window replaced. I replaced the passenger's side front window myself (and saved a bunch, it was pretty easy considering I'm NOT handy). The driver's side rear window has been broken for over a year. I have it rigged to always stay in the UP position.May 09, 2012

great car till you gut it, put racing stripes on it, and install a true dual sidepipe exhaust that sounds horrible, good on gas, placed 8th in points at the scca rally cross for modified fwd. i constantly beat the crap out of it and even with 180k it keeps coming back for more Feb 11, 2012
