    We are very please with the GT from Hyundai. We think for the money, it is the best buy in the market. We are planning on keeping it forever and with the 5 yr. bumper to bumper,roadside waranty, 20 yr. 200000 it will be predictable on repairs.

  • Most bang for the buck! - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    Ok, first off, Ive had way too many cars. Between my wife and me, weve owned 41 cars since 1994. I think Im qualified to say this Hyundai Elantra GT is one of the best driving compact cars Ive ever driven or owned. The leather interior is very comfortable and was made to last. Very nice leather steering wheel and shifter. The ride is 10 out of 10. No other compact car with a sporting attitude even comes close. I average 27.5 city and recently observed 30+ at 80mph+ with the ac on. Great headlights, awesome brakes, very good handling, and way more roomy inside than others. The Focus, Neon, Civic, and Mazda3 should take some notes. The 3 is overrated IMHO>

    By -

    Extremely well made for the price, runs flawlessly, with effective manuevering excelleration is ausumn when needed. Highway long distance driving, absolutely perfect. Negatives, some of the paneling in the trunk flimsy and easy to knock out of position. Should have cd player instead of tape in the radio system

  • Best small car out there - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    Bought this car new with only 13 miles on the odo. Now have logged 11,700 on it. Only had a couple of issues first being wiper blade had hardened and they replaced that free saying " Ya sun exposure tends to do that when blades arent used on the lots. Sorry about that." Second was a cluth slip around 8k but it did it only once and the dealer shop couldnt find any issues. I love the space and the decent performance from the best engine in the small car class. Downside is sacrafised fuel economy. But its alot better than previous cars ive driven. I do have my own plans for the car later in life.

  • A lot for your money - 2005 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    The bottom line for me was the bang for the buck and reliability factor. The Elantra has some nice features that you cant find on similar class vehicles. I previously owned a 2000 Honda Civic LX and yes it was very dependable, but it was also boring. The Elantra has helped me to remember the excitement of driving once again!
