  My GT - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Clyde Vandivort - May 19 - 4:00 pm

  I have mostly enjoyed my Elantra GT (we have another GT, and 03 model). I live in the mountains of West Virginia, and do a lot of driving due to working 45 miles away. My GT is fun to drive on the twisty roads, and returns excellent gas mileage. The stereo works great and keeps me entertained enroute. My only complaint is that I have some vibration on braking, due to warped brake rotors. I am surprised at this, with only 12,000+ miles.

  What More Could You Possibly Want? - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Jet Jockey - April 24 - 1:40 pm

  What a great car! I was going to replace my Accent with another Accent, but after seeing and driving the Elantra hatchback, I was hooked. I got out the door for only $13k, and that included a moonroof and CD player. Considering it was only $2200 more than a sparsely equipped Accent GT, it was an incredible bargain. Handles great, extremely comfortable, engine is smooth and powerful, transmission is silky. Its too early to tell about reliability, but if its like my 01 Accent, it will be a gem. My first tankful of gas gave me 35 mpg (mostly highway driving). Stylish car!

  Downgrade and Happy - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By TiburWolf - April 15 - 7:43 am

  I "downgraded" from a Tiburon GT with the 6cyl 6spd. I needed a more sensible car with 4 kids, better gas mileage, and 4 doors. The Elantra fit the bill and I am very happy with it so far. The true test will be further down the road, but now I can fill up once a week, fit most of the family in, and still get good gas mileage to work. The car is leaps and bounds more comfortable than the Tiburon, but with the loss of handling and responsiveness. I currently prefer the comfort with my hour commute. Everything works as expected and the engine is well up to the task of moving the bugger.

  Wonderful vehicle! - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Amy - April 13 - 2:29 pm

  My husband and I both have a 2005 Elantra. They are both great cars for the money! The features are superb and the ride is fantastic. Our cars are roomier than a VW Jetta and ride better too! Great pick up for a 4 cylinder I can keep up with the best of them! The body style is classy and the vehicle has a solid feel that cant be beat. One of the best values on the market with the warranty! LOVE it!

  This Car is Fantastic !!! - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Justin Smith - April 12 - 9:18 pm

  I have been driving this car for 8 months or so and it has lived up to all my expectations. I skipped the sunroof and abs but couldnt be happier. I only have roughly 6000 miles on it (because I work and live at a college) but I take it on road trips home (3 hours one way) and it easily cruises at 80mph on the highway with no problems. The ride is generally excellent! I would call this car a crossbreed between a Volvo, a BMW 3 Series, and a Honda Civic. My friends are jealous that their cars aren’t as nice and cheap and that’s the way I like it!

  2nd Elantra - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By RJ - March 28 - 10:13 am

  This is the second elantra I purchased. I liked my 1999 elantra but wanted features to help in the snow. This model has ABS brakes and traction control. I have seen a huge difference in handling over the 99 elantra. I also enjoy the other standard features in this little car. The most impressive part of this car is the gas mileage. I crossed NY and went into the hills of Vermont, AC and cruise. This car gave me over 40 miles per gallon. Absolutely fantastic!!

  Love my car - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Amy - March 5 - 4:12 pm

  I love this car. It is fun to drive and in a world of high gas prices, its easy on the wallet. I found that my Elantra is more roomy than I anticipated and I would buy another in a heart beat.

  I love this car - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By NicoleC - March 2 - 9:25 am

  Wonderful car! My first brand new car and ive had no complaints. It looks like its worth more than the 15Gs its on the market for. Gotten so many complements and what kinda car is thats!?!? It gets wonderful gas mileage (30 and up depending on how and where i drive it). Ive had the car since May (now march) and Ive had no problems and ive put almost 10Gs on it. Im so glad i picked this brand new car instead of a "better brand" used car. I had an excel years ago which was OK but had heard hyundais gotten better and its true.
