Great car! - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By Meghan - November 1 - 6:40 amValue! Its inexpensive, yet comes loaded with features. I havent had any problems thus far. I was surprised to have leather seats, an MP3 player, power windows, rear window defroster, etc for the price. The car is one of the more roomy ones for its class. Im a tall and bigger person and although Im not able to spread ou like in a luxury or larger car, Im still comfortable. Trust me, Ive sat in the other cars in the Elantras class and price range and they all seemed to have less room for the front seats. I highly recommend the Elantra. It was my first major purchase (Im a college student), and although I was very scared of the commitment, I didnt have any buyers remorse.

I Will Never Go Back To A Ford - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By DONNA RENNINGER - October 8 - 9:26 pmI absolutely love this car for its comfort, fuel economy, the style of the vehicle and performance. With my cars acceleration ability, as well as its anti-lock brakes, I could not have asked for a better vehicle to save my life. I have been a Ford person all my life and last year I decided to check out the Hyundai Elantras because I liked their style -- now I will never go back to a Ford.

2005 Hyundai Elantra - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By gary f huth - September 1 - 11:40 pmThis car was a good buy, and great gas mileage for not being a hybrid. The only thing I have detected so far is that the trunk lid sounds tinny when being closed. Good car, nice design, and great service from dealer.

NO PROBLEMS - LOVE IT - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By ELANTRA - July 31 - 9:07 pmI bought this car as a new left over and paid 12 grand and that includes tax and all dealer fees. A few later Hyundai sent me a check for 400.13 dollars. I didnt ask why and only made my purchas sweeter. Im a strong at the table when dealing with salemaen and they hate me for it. 88000 AND NO PROBLEMS, NO RATTLES, 28 MPG, NOT GREAT BUT I DRIVE VERY HARD. My car is a 5 speed and I tow a jet ski and somtimes a trailor for yard work and still get 28 mpg every time out. The motor is a 130hp and beats most others in its class. The is of good quality and im an old motor head and know cars. Safety and performance and reliable as Honda. Hyundai I will be back after getting 200000. I have no doubt !

The BEST Value for your $$$$$$$$ - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By The BEST Value for $ - July 29 - 4:03 amI have had the Elantra for about 3 weeks now. I should say that initially I did not want to even test drive one. My friend adviced me to do so and you know what? I am glad I listened to him. This car is a steal for the money you pay. It has a long list of standard features and if you plan to spen a little more you get the GT. The car is fun to drive and the gas mileage is good. If you are looking for a low price, fuel economy, more standard features then look no further than the Hyundai Elantra. This will be a good buy for the $$$$$$$$$$$ you spend.

My First "New" Car - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By Sylvia - July 20 - 9:46 pmIm very happy with our New Elantra (so far) Just waiting to see how it will handle this winter in the Ice and Snow. With the rising price of gas...I cant complain yet about fuel efficiency..but then again Ive had it about four months and have not hit the 1000 mark.

No complaints here - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By Satisfied - May 1 - 12:57 amI bought a brand new 2005 elantra in 2005 for 2 reasons: good price and good warranty. Since then i have put 123K miles on it, changed the oil every 10K or so, and bye and large have beat it up. It hasnt flinched. At about 120K the brake pads wore out so i replaced them and decided to change my belts at the same time. Other than that no other work has been needed. I have gotten more than i ever expected out of it. Throw in the fact the excellent gas mileage makes that IRS per mile deduction go real far, and Im a satisfied customer.

I love it! - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By Colleen Ryan - April 21 - 10:40 pmI had to be talked into buying this car against my wishes, but I love it. The car is smooth, reliable, has wonderful design (everything necessary is within reach) and the warranty CANNOT BE BEAT! I bought this car used with only 10,500 miles on it and had a bearing go within the first month. No problem. I took it into the dealership and they fixed it and changed the oil just for good measure while they had it at no charge! I didnt believe the warranty could be that good or that reliable, but it is. Am getting ready to trade mine in for a new one because of how fast I put miles on it (and that is the only reason). Yhinking I might try the Sonata this time. It is a wonderful car!

Great car even better warranty - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
By Cameron - April 19 - 11:10 pm10 years ago Hyundai was the laughing stock of the auto industry. Today, Hyundai is changing the face of automobiles offering quality products with incredible warranties. I purchased this car for gradutation and I could not be happier. Afforadble payments and cheap full coverage insurance will keep me in the green with the rise of gas prices. I recommed these vehicles to anyone who wants a safe, fun to drive vehicle that wont break the bank.
