The Elantra Is Raw

Ive had my elantra for a year now and in march of 2002 I put 17 inch crome rims on it with some yokahama spec 2 tires. recently I have put an A.O.S cold ait intake and In november I will be getting a cat back exhaust. The car is very fast for its price and is faster than the civic which is signifigantly more money. I have had no problems with my car, no noises or anything. I like the interor but I am going to get racing leather seat covers and door panels. rpms I love my car and don't know why some people are having so many problems.

This car is a champ! Quality is amazing for the price. Did fantastic in a driver's side t-bone crash...no injuries (except my anger of a 4 month old car being hit!) Gas mileage over 30mpg running the a/c. I have hauled bedroom furniture, an adult with a broken leg and been on serious shopping excursions...all seperate occassions, yet plenty of extra room.

Great Car - Best Warranty

Good performance and power. Comfortable and very reliable. Gas mileage is acceptable. AC is strong and cools you off quickly on a hot day. Warranty is what sold me. This is the second Hyundai Elantra I own and will not be the last.

I love my GLS. There is nothing fancy about it, but it gets me where I want to go. Isn't this the same response that many people give for Hondas and Toyotas? Had to replace the A/C fan almost immediately because of factory installation, but otherwise perfect.

Hasn't been a bad car, BUT...

I bought this car in spring of '04. I have had a few minor mechanical issues. I have kept up with required tune-ups and maintenance. The gas mileage starts to suck after the car hits about 60000 miles. The paint looks like crap (my car is black, so you can only imagine), and the interior is not very durable at all. I have really babied this car. I love driving it and have actually considered "upgrading" to a new one. Just kind of squeamish investing all that money if in a couple of years it's going to visually be an eyesore like the one that I have now!!!
