  • Love to drive it! - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    I traded in my 2003 Elantra for the 2005 Elantra GT, four door. The GT is well worth it. I like the leather seats but think they should be heated. The car is comfortable on the road and in town. On the road it rides like a much larger sized car. It takes curves like a sports car. Its roomy and well laid out on the inside. Ive added HID headlights, a Wheelskins leather steering wheel cover and an exterior temperature monitor.

    I got my 05 Elantra last month, and have put over 700 miles on it. It is a great car-much better than any of its competitors. Purchase price was $11,600, and it is the best value for the money. It has a peppy engine that has a nice growl, and handling is similar to a Jetta. Its very agile around tight corners, and really holds well to the road. I would strongly suggest this car, and think the world of the great warranty!

  • A fun car - 2005 Hyundai Elantra

    When I bought the Elantra I was looking for a fairly sensible yet fun car. I am delighted to say that I found one. It handles smoothly and doesnt slouch on the highway.

  • Best car I ever purchased - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    At the age of 50 I have owned my share of cars, THIS is the BEST car I have owned. It hugs and holds to the road in down pouring rain with no problems, I anticapte NO problems this winter with the snow. The warrente was the orignal reason I first started looking into a Hyundai, one I test drove it I was hooked. I HIGHLY recomend this car, it is GREAT!!!!

  • Great Car In Its Class - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    Very enjoyable to drive. Quiet interior, comfortable seats, dash has a nice layout. Seems to be built very solid. The children say its much more comfortable in the rear seat than our 95 Dodge Neon. Let me get overly critical. The brakes are soft but stop well. Handling is good but it has more body lean than the old Neon. Getting the SULEV in the automatic robs you of 6 horsepower (I live in CA, dont know if you can get the automatic here without it being SULEV). We would purchase it over all the competition again, highly recommended.

  • Love it - 2005 Hyundai Elantra

    I traded in my 04 Civic for this car last week and so far Im loving it. The Hyundai has a lot more features for the same price as the Civic, and its better looking and more fun to drive. I also read that Hyundai is rated second only to Lexus for customer satisfaction. Although Honda is known as a very reliable car, I think Hyundai is just as good and pays more attention to the little details that make you love your car.

  • Would buy again in a heartbeat! - 2005 Hyundai Elantra

    I have owned this vehicle for 2 1/2 months, and it is one of the best decisions I could have made. For the price this vehicle cannot be beat. My wife likes to drive it.
