  More than a good deal - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By frank.hujsa - November 26 - 5:30 am

  I was skeptical about getting a Hyundai Elantra at first, but I was impressed enough by the warranty and features to be satisfied. Since then, Ive come to realize that it wasnt only a fantastic deal for about $15,000, but would have been a good choice for thousands more. There is no other car that offers the combination of style, comfort, drive, and price that the Elantra provides. And, its not a bland and overpriced Civic or Corolla. This is my first online post, but I feel that strongly about this car. Spend some time researching the Elantra and comparing it to the others. Youll quickly see that its more than a good deal; its a car youll love.

  Air Bag - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By A. Stewart - November 25 - 8:05 am

  On October 14, 2008 We hit a deer with the car and then also hit a cement culvert before driving into the ditch. The car was a complete write off. The air bag never deployed and the appearance of the vehicle was of minimal damage. Though there was a twist to the frame from the front right impact, and cracking to interior rear door panel (nothing noted damage wise on the outside of this same door). It concerns me that a crash that was enough to bend the frame would not deploy an air bag. I have since replaced this vehicle but did not repurchase another Hyundai.

  So far, so great! - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Titandan - October 16 - 3:53 pm

  I love this car. Im averaging 33.4 miles/gallon currently and am learning to bring up the mileage by driving carefully (braking less) and trying to cruise when I can. This is in city/hwy driving. When gas is an issue, this car solves the problem. At first, the mileage was about 25-26 mpg and it has drastically improved recently. It is very comfortable and the leather was standard. The CD/audio/radio AM&FM are heck of a lot better than the Honda Civics and the sound is a lot more crisp and clear. This car is peppy and the struts are very tight. I guess thats what comes with a "sporty" suspension. A little more spring wouldnt hurt, but I like the car as a whole.

  Happy with my Elantra GT - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Californiaguy - September 28 - 7:30 am

  I bought my second Elantra, and so far I am extremely happy with the car. Everything I could ask for is there, and improved compared to my previous Elantra. Before I bought it, I test-drove a few different cars, that is the one I like the most. Hyundai, keep up the great work!

  Buy it -- worth it - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Steve J - August 29 - 8:03 pm

  I just recently purchased a Elantra GT and so far no complaints, I bought the car with 86 miles, and so far its up to 2,266 and I have not had one complaint (from me or friends). This car is a must! I will be purchasing from this company from now on.

  Great car especially at the price - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By James - August 23 - 9:39 am

  My Chevy s10 pickup died without warning and I needed a car in a hurry and for little money. I wanted a new car but had used car money. I found the Elantra, researched it and made the purchase. I never had any problems in 70K+ miles the only things I did were brakes (one set of pads) and tires. For the price you get a good ride, some luxury and very cheap to drive (fuel and maintenance).

  Comfort for the tall driver - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Track Guy - August 13 - 11:30 am

  I looked at Ford Focus, Mazda 3i, and Dodge Neon. I bypassed the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla because of their more expensive price tags as I was looking for economy at a reasonable price. The Ford Focus I ruled out as soon as I sat in it due to the fact that I am 62" and the seat had absolutely no thigh support and was very uncomfortable. The Mazda 3i was a bit better, but the noise in the car at highway speeds was very disappointing. When I sat in the Elantra, I liked it immediately due to its adjustable front seat which provided comfortable thigh support. After a test drive I was sold...it performed very nicely and had more standard equipment on the base model than the others.

  too many clutch replacement - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By browneyes - August 3 - 11:25 am

  I have replaced the clutch 2 times within a 6mo time. The original clutch was plastic and broke, the second clutch went out (broke) and now after 3 days it is out again. I am a single mother going to school to become a rn. I cannot afford the cost of replacing the clutch and never at the dealership. How can I deal with this?
