2005 Hyundai ELANTRA consumer reviews

Very reliable! Perfect for commuting to work and home. Only needed basic maintenance. Traded it in for a 2015 Hyundai Accent.

This car has a great ride, and really good gas mileage! It is an amazing first car! I wouldn't trade it for anything!!

This economy hatchback was a steal in 2005 at $13,995 new. Still going strong in 2017 with 60,900 miles and no major repairs. Starts even in below zero weather, good gas mileage, excellent leg room in the front for tall people. I would gladly buy a new one.

I've owned it for 8 years, such amazing car comes once a decade. It rarely faced a mechanical troubles and usually it's my neglect fault . body is almost rust free, its performance is pretty good with comfortable seats. I wish Hyundai makes again a new car as the same as Elantra 2005 specs . Thanks my lovely car

This is my first car although I learned to drive in a mini van but I am in love with my Elantra. I was very skeptical at first when I bought the car one year ago because it had 102000 miles already on it, but this car still impresses me every time I drive it. I saved up for years for a car and this one was definitely worth every penny. The pedals are very responsive (more so than my parents' new cars) and the steering is smooth and easy. I'm usually driving alone and passengers never complain so there is plenty of room. I've put another 4000 miles on it and living in a suburban area I'm getting about 20 mpg still which I can't complain about. I had considered selling the car this year when I go away to school, but I know I would regret it an I can't part with it. I do agree with another review that the cup holders are a little close but I have fit two full large Popeyes drinks in there without spills so it's alright.

Bought my car about 2 years ago used. 68, 000 miles excellent condition.Handles amazing, great on gas, smooth ride for a small car. Oil changes, tire rotation, and some detailing has been about it so far! 2 minor things that erk me, wheel covers arent all that, and could use abit more storage space.All in all, great car for a great price.

I bought my car used, only a year old and hads 13,000 miles on it. I have owned this car since 2006 and have not had a single problem with it. In fact, it still has the factory battery. The only maintenance I have had done is oil changes, and my brakes once. I would buy this car again. I do not see myself steering from Hyundai ever again. I

In comparison to what I have driven in the past this car is tiny, I spend most of my time staring up other vehicles tail pipes when I'm stopped at a light. But aside from its small exterior looks, the inside for me is surprisingly spacious. Plenty of leg room, especially in the front, even with the seat pulled all the way forward (which I don't need) I still don't feel cramped. The back seat is pretty spacious and I enjoy the pockets in the back of the front seats for storage for maps and what-not. The main things I love about this vehicle is its quick and easy to handle, you can virtually steer with your fingertips, And while it is only getting me about 26-27 MPG it is still saving me on gas for my daily commute to work, I've already found that Im spending at least $15 less a week in gas, then I used to. The only things this car really lacks for in creature comforts that I am accustomed to having, is this vehicle does not come standard with ABS nor does it have cruise control, the cup holders are too close together to have multiple drinks in it, and I'm particularly shocked that a '05 has a tape-deck in it. I guess the original purchaser of this vehicle desired to opt out of the optional upgrades. But when all is said and done, I love this car and will probably purchase another Hyundai Elantra in the future.

bought this car new for my wife has 170 000 trouble free miles on it now never been in the shop other than oil changes and tranny service have changed brake pads twice spark plugs once tires are lasting 50 000 + never had ailignment all in all when i replace this car i will buy another

Great interior design, with 4 cup holders in the front you have plenty of space for your bevrages, good sound system, nice space for you to strech out, digital clock for convinece,to great, miserly gas milage, the econobox has many creatcher needs, and and many more conforts. Trunk space is much more then expected. Outside the styling is fabulous, even worth admiradtion to this day. of course, the prformece was the only thing that was not completly outstanding, however, it was still a impressive preformace rate for an econobox,making this a must have as a first car for teens or a last car for senoirs.
