The 2003 Hyundai Elantra represents the third generation of the car and comes in two trims, the base GLS and the sportier GT. Powering the Elantra is a 2.0L Inline-4 engine that delivers 135 horsepower through a front-wheel-drive layout. Drivers have the choice between a 4-speed automatic and a 5-speed manual transmission. Inside, the Elantra offers a surprising level of equipment like power windows and locks, and a CD player. Safety features on the 2003 model include standard front airbags, while anti-lock brakes are optional. However, it lacks some of the more sophisticated safety features found in recent models. Overall, the 2003 Elantra is appreciated for its value for money, offering a well-equipped and reliable car at an affordable price.
