  This cars A Steal !! - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Zbillz1 - July 19 - 10:00 am

  Being in the market for a reliable, well built but low cost new small car, I fully expected to end up buying a Honda Civic.. Until I listened to a friend who swore by his 03 Elantra. Im glad I did. After lotsa research & test driving both the Civic & Elantra GT, The Elantra was the clear winner with much better acceleration, lots more fun to drive, better looks in & out, better interior egonomics, the fit & finish was excellent, great sound insulation, the warranty was far, far better. The Elantra GT came with far more standard features (like leather, alloy wheels, etc.)and cost, after all the dickering at both, literaly thousands of $$ less than the Civic. This cars a steel !

  love it - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By orange1 - July 19 - 10:00 am

  I absolutely love my car, even though it isnt the expensive sporty car that I wanted, I got more than expected for my money. I bought it since my dad is the mechanic at the dealership and he believes that Hyundais are truely remarkable and reliable cars. The comfort rating is top among even cars in the $30,000 range. I love my elantra!

  The Best Car I Ever Had - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By A-Dog - July 18 - 11:46 pm

  This is the second car I have purchased from Hyundai. I had a 1997 Elantra, that recently traded in.The only problem I had with that car was the rransmission and that was in 2002.

  Great Little Car!!!!!!!! - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Paladin - May 29 - 9:30 pm

  I love this car. Perfect size for a sporty sedan. Great 5-speed gearbox. Short throws in the shifter. Solid feel and great handling. Best value I could find for the money. Its just fun to drive. Engine is smooth and has sufficient power for the cars weight.

  A very good car and a great value - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By dclurker - May 15 - 4:56 am

  Owning this car makes you feel smug because you spent about $3,000 less than someone buying a comparably equipped Civic or Corolla. My Elantra has everything (including ABS/Traction Control) except a sunroof, and I paid less than $15,000 out-the-door. The car is well-built and fun to drive. If youre in the market for a compact, give the Elantra a test drive; youll be glad you did.

  What a pleasant surprise! - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Canuck fan - May 10 - 2:36 am

  On our list we originally had the Vibe/Matrix, Impreza, PT and Cobalt; the Elantra was a last-minute addition due to a good review I read; never would have considered it otherwise. We in time narrowed our choice to the Vibe and Elantra, and back to back there is no comparison between the two. The Elantra rides much better (my fillings are still resetting from the Vibe test), has a bigger and more useful trunk, has great leg room front and back, and gets virtually the same MPG. The 5-speed shifts nicely, and all controls felt intuitive. And... a fully equipped GT was less than a near-base Vibe. Add to that a five year full warranty, and youve got one great car.

  Great car - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Mary - April 19 - 4:10 pm

  I really love my Hyundai. I shopped around for the best car for my money and Hyundai was the best buy. I got 0% financing and 10yr warranty. Cant beat that.

  Cant beat the Elantra for the price! - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Howard - April 14 - 3:50 pm

  Purchased for comute vehicle. Other cars; Corvette, GTO, GS430 & Denali so you see I expect a lot out of a car. The Elantra is a great performer, has a lot of standard equipment and good gas mileage for its class. If you have a lot of driving, want good performance at a very reasonable price do not overlook a Hyundai. The Elantra is a very easy driver and I highly recommend it!

  Great Value - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Fred - February 21 - 1:03 am

  Test drove the Civic, Corolla and Elantra. All very nice cars but the Elantra has many more standard features, gives a bigger car ride and is overall a great value. The 138 HP 2.0 Liter engine is in a class by itself in this car category. Acceleration is very good and the engine is fairly quiet. Fit and finish on the car is excellent. Once you get over the bad history and stigma of driving a Hyundai from years ago, you will be favorably impressed and this probably wont be the last Hyundai you purchase. This car is simply a better and heavier car than the Civic or Corolla with a much better warranty. Gas mileage is less than its competitors, but worth it.

  Great First Car purchase - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Benjamin Nazario Jr - January 25 - 10:53 am

  Great performance, very smooth on road, great first car purchase. Saves me alot on gas. But need to include ABS as standard option with cruise control. Needs better speakers for good quality. Overall outstanding car.
