Hyundai Elantra reliability ratings and comparisons

 

I have owned a 2001 Elantra GT 5-speed since new. It currently has 232,000 miles and has been extremely reliable.

I'm not sure what this reliability tracker measures, but reliability to me is how long non-wearable parts last. And all of my non-wearable parts are original. I still have the original rear struts, too.

I rate my Elantra's reliability as much better than average!
