Hey gang,
I had an 97 Accent GT up until last wednesday when the Tranny died. Anyhow, I Am now the proud owner of and 02 elantra VE. I want to know from the guys that have one (or ones that know) is there anything I need to look out for on the Elantra? I am assuming it is much better built then the 97 accent was, but I am now going to baby this thing and want to know if I should keep my eye on something specific! thanks in Advance!

L8R!

Pressure plates suck stock. Id highly reccomend dumping whatever fluid is in the trans right now and adding some Redline MT-90. I went from accent to elantra and the only downside I have noticed is slightly lower gas milage.

IMO everything else is better.

I just picked up a 2002 Elantra VE myself. This is a great idea for a topic. I'd also like to hear any feedback on the car. I am really going to baby this car and I want to make sure it is extremely-well kept.
