| | Car and Driver - Hyundai Elantra GLS - April 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13) |
 | | Hyundai claims a 12-percent improvement in aerodynamic efficiency (Cd, 0.33), which should improve both fuel economy and wind noise. |
 | | Powered by Hyundai's 140-hp, twin-cam, 2.0-liter Beta engine (now subframe-mounted, with a ribbed block, eight-counterweight crank, and hydraulic engine mounts for better suppression of noise, vibration, and harshness), the 2001 Elantra zips about at a brisk pace, with noticeably improved smoothness. |
 | | Gas-filled shocks are standard for 2001, but the Hyundai still tends to bobble slightly on rippled surfaces rather than soak up the bumps. |
