2001 Hyundai Elantra with automatic or standard are reliable and inexpensive.  They ride well and have a neat rounded design that is quite eye catching.  It was the first year of the body style change and it doesn’t disappoint.  Great lines and a bigger and better 4 cylinder. This one is quite peppy.

Pros: Driving ease and styling features

Cons: Rust and rot can form quite easily on the lower front fenders and over the rear wheel well.
