Elantra Review

Owned vehicle for 11+ years, runs well, low miles 60K, however has a lot of rust so the body may fall apart before the car.

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

Love these cars! Have had a total 5, gave one to my daughter, and later she bought another!

Gets good gas mileage, as long as you keep up with the proper maintenance, the car will last you for a very long time! I always get a good trade in value on it, when I purchased the next one!

My 2005 Elantra Hyundai has been a good car overall.

I have had some service issues through the years but overall, this has been one of the best vehicles I have owned.

Old faithful

I've had my car for 7 years now, it's been good to me. Been through a lot, traveled a lot of places. I'll drive it until it dies. Not too big but not too small. Easy to park, very convenient vehicle to drive. Great for going to work or running errands.

Reliable

This is a great car for those on a budget, but want a car that will always be reliable with very low maintenance. The overall exterior of the car doesn't look as dated as other cars in its class. The gas mileage alone is a great feature.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Great Auto

I purchased my Elantra as it was rated highly by consumer reports. Originally I wanted to purchase a Honda Civic but the rating by Consumer was less than that of the Elantra. Would I purchase another Elantra? Yes without hesitation. The new and improved Elantras are what I wanted however, at this point in time I need to stay with my 2005. The only item I would have like on my 2005 would have been alloy wheels instead of wheel covers. 8

Elantra GT 2005

This little car has taken me a lot of miles with no major problems. All the work I have had done is regular expected maintenance- no surprises. I am thinking that with regular service, this car should last a long time.

Special Edition

I like my car because it is an upgraded Elantra. I would consider another Elantra in the future.
