Summary
Added features without added markup make the 2000 Elantra a more formidable competitor for the Dodge Neon, Honda Civic and other small cars. Elantra isn't the most refined car in its class, but it's a long way from the least refined. Given the high-value price and solid warranty, we'd guess that Hyundai will catch plenty of new buyers with this little sedan.
