Overview & Reviews
This year Hyundai adds a GLS version of the five-door hatchback to the Elantra line.
- Solidly built, powerful engine for its class, long list of standard features, comfortable interior, ultralow price tag, generous warranty.
- Floaty ride on the freeway with base suspension, hard to find equipped with ABS, poor offset crash test score.

Save your money - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By Unhappy - August 19 - 12:58 amThis car is a nightmare!I have driven it 37000 miles and so far I have had 3 headlights replaced, the car is rusting out and paint is peeling off. Clutch and transmission both went last night with no warning. Dealership said "sorry its out of warrenty". So much for Americas best warrenty.

Buy something else - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By Displeased - October 28 - 10:52 amThe warrenty is worthless. They just say sorry we cant fix it. The engine rattles very bad and I guess we just have to live with it. The service man said that we have to use premium gas if we want any Hyundai to run normal. That didnt help either.

Problems! - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By Roxanne - October 18 - 12:53 pmI have had numerous problems with my car. I researched it thoroughly but seemed to overlook the fact that all the good quality reviews were INITIAL. after 2 months of having my car the problems continued to roll in. Now a little over a year old, it seems like i have a new problem every month. I am also not impressed with the service workmanship i have received.

New Clutch at 30000 - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By Patrick - September 28 - 2:08 pmNew clutch at 30000 and not covered under "bumper to Bumper". I was the only one who drove it and I did not abuse it! Do not buy a manual transmission, because the clutch is not covered under bumper to bumper and they wear out prematurely. A Auto transmission is covered.

not for the long haul - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By P.G - November 28 - 5:52 pmGreat little commuter car, 32 mpg, not a car for long trips. Seats poor quality, even in the "upscale" GT model. The car has been reliable with 32K in under 10 months.
