Hyundai engines are bad, car itself good

My first car. Engine blew at 110k miles. No idea why. I treated her right and she did well by me until that unfortunate thing. Hope to get a new engine though it's probably not worth the price anymore

Ol' Reliable

The '05 Elantra isn't the prettiest car but it is super reliable. This car has next to no drive train and accessory issues. It handles fairly well and shifts weight decently on turns. One of the downsides is the occasional electrical issues.

Been to hell and back

Bought it new.I've had it airborne, drove it through a creek and got swept 200 feet downstream, many fenderbenders and "totaled" it.Still a strong running daily driver with normal maintenance.GOKOREA!

Central Avenue Hyundai Always Excellent Service

The reason I am driving a 2005 Elantra is the care the mechanics have provided through the years. If John Nunziata recommended a 2005 Elantra I would purchase the car and make sure it was serviced at Central Avenue Hyundai

Since I purchased my 2005 Hyundai Elantra in December 2004, I kept up with my oil change and all required maintenance and my car is still going strong! I recommend this car to all who is looking for a great car.

Hyundai 2005 Elantra

Bought car new in 2005. Has 31000 miles on it as a second car. Oil changes and gas have been my major expenses. Have bought or influenced the purchase of four Hyundais since the 2005 Elantra. Have graduated to a 2019 Hyundai genesis.

Which will come first?

I am a 1949. My Hyundai Elantra is a 2005. It's paid off and I'm keeping it till one of us goes. I wish I had gotten as much mileage out of my ex-wife. It says I have to have 200 characters and I only had 154, so I wasted my time and yours writing this.

2005 Elantra

I bought my 2005 Elantra new and it has served me well. I like everything about it. It is comfortable and dependable. The body style remains attractive and is easy to care for. I am comfortable in my car when I take trips and I get very good gas mileage. I would definitely buy another Hyundai.

Car keeps going and going!

Ive been driving this car for over 15 years with my wife and its always been good. The only negative things is it has a weak clutch and the back brakes need changibng every 25k miles. However genrally it has not been an expensive car to own.

The best car I have ever owned.

Considering overall maintenance, dependability and cost efficiency, my 2005 Elantra has been outstanding. I make sure I give it the required maintenance and my Elantra rewards me with dependability.

2005 Elantra

I bought my Elantra new and it has been a great car. It has been very reliable and I have had only minor problems with it, problems easily repaired. I like the style of it and the comfort of riding in it.

Dependable - easy to maintain

I love my Elantra (obviously since it is a 2005). I do not put a lot of mileage on my Elantra (approx. 55k miles right now). Only thing I would appreciate is if the drivers seat could "go back" about 1-2 inches further than it does.

2005 Elantra

I bought my Elantra new in 2005. It has been a very reliable car. Because of so many medical expenses, I need to keep the car and feel confident that it will be dependable because of the good care Paramount Hyundai gives it. I get very good gas mileage and I feel safe in my car. When I am in the position to get a new car, it will definitely be a Hyundai.

My 2005 Hyundai Elantra is the best car I have ever had.

My 2005 Hyundai Elantra is the best car I have ever had because it has had no problems beyond normal wear and tear. I bought it new, keep up with the maintenance and the car rewards me with dependable performance. It looks pretty much like a new one (at least in my eyes), comfortable to get in and out of and is so easy to handle either driving or parking. Love my Hyundai!!!!

Awesome little car

I have a 2005 and it’s been a GREAT car! I haven’t had any problems with it and it continues to be very reliable. I will most definitely be back to Hyundai when I’m ready to purchase again! Service has been easy and the folks at the dealership are very nice and informative! Highly recommend!!!
