I bought my 2006 Elantra brand new. It's at 159,000 miles. I know this car very well and it's been very reliable. I still like the style, but sixteen years later the bumper and side mirror paint is peeling. Oxidation is on the roof and hood. The headlights yellow easily. Some interior parts have worn down - driver's door handle replaced 1x, mirrors fell out of the sun visors, the plastic has shrunk/torn around sun visors, and the dashboard vinyl has cracked. I've kept up with the oil changes, new tires, battery, air filter, spark plug, and brake pad replacements. So far, other repairs have been the following: Early on the radiator hose came loose and it's been replaced with a stainless steel clamp, the s-belts and timing belts replaced 2x, water pump 1x, rear brake drums 1x, transmission flush 1x, alternator replaced 2x, fuel sensor replacement 2x, radiator tank replaced 1x, and recently two hoses replaced from an oil leak which burned through a radiator hose. Because of the mileage and age, I think it might have other parts that are wearing down and it'll have more repairs more often. It might make a good used car for someone who likes fixing cars at home. I don't have the tools or skills to fix it at home and so I rely on car repair shops which is becoming expensive. Overall, it's been a good car, but's it's time to trade it in for something newer.

This car handles well and at the same time rides very comfortably on the road. Sporty feel without the roughness of a true sports car. Nice combination.
Mine was a Lemon...

Catalytic converter went out first but just after my warranty expired. Radiator and all belts including the timing belt next. Needed a few batteries. Had regular oil changes and maintenance checkups . Was only driven about 5,000 per year, but did have 26,000 on it when purchased. Air conditioning was the only thing that worked without concerns.

I have actually been very lucky with my car. The timing belt broke while it was being driven and it was saveable. Then I drove it 400 miles on the highway without the oil cap on. (My bad) and luckily there was no damage. Close to 300,000 miles and going strong.
