  Good Car - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Rick G. - June 4 - 7:10 am

  With 10 months of ownership/23,000 on the odometer (yes, its quite a commute), car has done everything weve expected. Avging 35 mpg on the highway. Not shabby. Sufficient get up and go for merging/hwy passing. Outside of oil changes and the suggested 15k "checkup", car has not seen the dealership for anything other than the passenger seat recall (15 minute visit for recalibration). IOW, initial quality has been exceptional. Originally was crossing my fingers on this Korean product and hoping for the best (Had my doubts but the discounted pricing in comparison to the Japanese products reflected this) but Hyundai has dispelled these misgivings. Highly suggest car if "value" is high on list.

  2005 Elantra GT - Ottawa, Canada - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Eric - May 21 - 1:13 pm

  After 3 months of highway driving, there was a very noticeable vibration in the steering wheel at speeds greater than 100 Km/hr. The rack & pinion was replaced free of charge, but I was charged for an alignment. Two weeks later, the vibration was back. This time I was charged for a wheel re-balancing. The CD player was repaired three times in a year. The tires were bald after 40,000 Km. There is excessive brake and wind noise. The drivers front headlight bulb has been repalced twice in 40,000 km (I seldom drive at night, so only the running lights are on).

  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.

  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.

  Move aside Honda - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Jay - February 23 - 11:57 pm

  One of the nicest compacts out there. Rides better and has more room and pep than my Civic had. But my 3 negatives are: (1)Squeaks developed going slowly over speed bumps after 8 mos. (2)I have yet to get over 20 mpg and I drive slowly and do not accelerate suddenly. I do drive solely in town however. (3)The rear window fogs when its rainy and humid unless the AC is full blast.

  Fun Little Car - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Luke - December 28 - 6:30 pm

  Initial quality was better than expected. Only disappointment was FM tuner did not work. I like the GTs leather interior and ride. I didnt like the Black Bodyside molding. Its a pain to hand wax around it.

  Upgraded Accent - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By gadgetmgs - November 27 - 11:30 pm

  This Hyundai is our second. First was a 2000 Accent and find this one much improved. 10/10 is unbeatable and Hyundai took excellant care to meet my needs on the 2000 Accent when things went bad.

  The Underrated Alternative - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
  By Matt - November 22 - 6:51 pm

  The car is great. Comfortable, fun to drive and very affordable. But the dealership experience was horrible. I am very happy with this car. Drive this car if you are considering a Civic or Corolla.
