2006 Hyundai Elantra

I bought this car new and have had all routine maintenance completed when due. The old lady is still going strong and I am not afraid of taking it on a long road trip.

Great car throughout the years. No major issues!

My Hyundai has been a very reliable transportation vehicle. No major issues in these 11 years I have had it. I would recommend Hyundai to anybody looking for a car.

Good,dependable car

i purchased my Elantra 11 years ago-and she has gotten me over mountains and across prairies on some pretty 'narley' roads. Whether the temperature was 116 in the San Joaquin Valley or 20 in the Sierra foothills;she just kept going. Altitude and winds may have made me pull over-but I never had to stop because the car couldn't handle the road.

230,000 miles and still 30 mpg!

My beloved Elantra finally died this week, after 11 years of being totally dependable with great mileage. 230,750 miles and still getting 30 mpg, when the transmission finally gave out. I would have bought another Elantra immediately, only I am moving to MN, where it often gets 20 below, sometimes 50 below, with ice and snow. Instead I purchased a new Hyundai Tucson SUV. After the great experience with the Elantra and the superb care of the Hyundai service departments, I trust Hyundai! The Elantra I would HIGHLY recommend to anyone who doesn't need All Wheel Drive. It has been a delight.

The Elantra that Keeps Going!

I bought my Elantra used with about 78K miles on it in 2011. It was a one owner, very well maintained car. I now have over 136K miles on it and it continues to run perfectly with nothing but routine maintenance performed. She may not be a high performance sedan, but she always starts, always runs great, doesn't burn any oil, and still gets about 32mpg on the highway.

My terrific Hyundai Elantra !

I have been very pleased with all aspects of my Hyundai Elantra. If I had to buy another car, it would be another Hyundai Elantra. I am short and it fits me well. I have always had a hard time finding a vehicle that fits for me to see properly out of all my windows...the Elantra is perfect in that respect. I was working long hours when my last car gave out on me and I decided to get a brand new car this time. My son-in-law told me Hyundai was having a sale. I knew pretty much nothing about Hyundai but decided to check it out. I was thrilled at the price, at the way the car and I fitted one another, its good looks and that I was able to drive away that day in my new, lovely car. I'm 84 and I've had my Hyundai Elantra for over 10 years and it is still great. I retired about 5 years ago, and I still do a fair amount of travel. I love to drive and, in addition to the day-to-day shopping etc., I go for drives up the coast with a friend every chance I get. When I bought the car I was commuting in the early morning traffic on I-80 in the East Bay. I needed a car that responded well in all aspects...I so much appreciate the Elantra's ability to do so.

Old but reliable

My car is almost eleven years old. Yet, it has given me very few problems over the years. Would definitely buy another Elantra.

Outstanding Car

I have had my Hyundai for eleven years and I love it, smooth riding and good gas mileage, the exterior still looks new like when I bought it. They will last along time as long as you take care of them, especially your maintenance schedule and you get a free car wash with every oil change and any maintenance you have done on your car. They are great Frank and Mike.

Beyond reliable!!!

I have had many of the leading manufacturer vehicles, heck I've even driven a Benz or two, which by the way isn't very reliable. My goal at the time when I purchased the Elantra new was to make it to 100,000 miles without issues. Not only did I make it to 100,000 but as I write this I am working my way to 300 hundred thousand. At about quarter Million miles, no major issues in fact no issues at all this car has far exceeded any expectations I had. I will probably cry when I have to retire it. At this rate the body will fall away from the frame before the engine and trans give up. However I have hand waxed twice a year since year one and other than a few lower spots I plan to fix this summer the paint is still in great condition. I would recommend this car to anyone on a budget and if you want an even better deal, buy used. Anything that has made it to 150 thousand and still runs like the day it left the lot will make it to the next mile stone easily. As with anything proper care is a must. Although I knew someone years ago that bought a baseline model drove it to 100,000 and never so much as changed the oil. Now I wouldn't recommend this but I do think it speaks for itself. If what you care about is reliability buy an Elantra and don't even give it a second thought. You be disappointed!!!

100000 miles and no problems

This vehicle has proven a very cost effective choice for my family. Low operating and maintenance costs and only a cracked radiator needing replacement out of warranty. Strong and efficient power from the 2.0 liter engine. Did brakes, struts, and timing belt at 65,000 miles and that's it on this car. Awesome 32 milesper gallon. Surprisingly a lot of trunk room and with the 40/60 split rear seats, you can load more than you think.

Very dependable '08

Most miles I have ever driven on a new car (140,000 miles). Have had very few problems and the maintenance for the first 100,000 miles was far less than previous cars.
