I loved my Elantra!

This was my first car and I got it back in 2006 with 110,000 miles on it. Drove it back and forth from WV to VA and never had a problem with it, it handled great and got really good milage (a full tank could get me from VA beach to the mountains just fine!). It was really reliable and the only things I've ever had to replace on it was the timing belt and recently the battery (at around 147,000 miles). It was recently totaled (the front end pan caked but that was my fault!) and I miss it a lot. I loved it so much I find myself looking to trade in the fantasy kia I got so I can buy another Elantra. It is a really great car and I would recomend it to anyone!
dealer honesty would help!

Owned a 2003 Elantra that was totaled in a rear end crash. The car had a very offensive wind noise at 50+mph. replaced with an 03' GT that has had nothing but electrical problems and the same wind noise. Electric door locks will lock you out (called tow services more than once), defroster and side mirrors activate door locks. Taken to 3 dealers for repairs. First threw up their hands. Second made us buy new battery all the time knowing the car was recalled. Third was great and is attempting repairs....finally after two years! Nice little car but very frustrating! Tire wear stinks.
Terrible Car

I bought this car with 50k miles in 2005. It's been a problem after another. I had to replace the engine at 80k miles and now at 98k it has the transmission issues. The Motor Mounts were also replaced. Yes, it's a cheap car. However, the maintenance becomes very expensive. I change the oil every 3k and do excellent maint. on it. Nevertheless, it's still a problem. Would never buy a Hyundai and/or Kia in my life again. Pay a little more upfront and save a lot later when purchasing a Toyota, Honda or Nissan. Most of Kia and Hyundai engines are joint venture with Mitsubishi and they are not very reliable engines.
Excellent value

Purchased this car from the original owner at 54K miles for $6K. Had one power train problem repair and otherwise routine maintenance. It has been doing very well so far. General fit and finish is good, though the exterior color on the posts between front and back windows is beginning to peel a bit. Mileage is reasonable, performance is acceptable, it is roomy and reasonably comfortable. I replaced the factory stereo and have been happy ever since.
Awesome!
