people crap on Hyundais, and they've had ups and more downs. but even my 2009 Elantra was a little nugget, it didn't strand me, it took my abuse, and that's all I could ask for. in some ways, it was better than a corolla, the beta 2.0 was actually a decent little engine for what it was. The car was cheap, but you knew what you got.

I live in the North East so we don't see this generation much anymore. Brought back memories of the early 00’s because I knew a few people that had one of these.

The first new car I owned was a blue 2006 Elantra. It wasn't quick by any means. I did hit the top speed of about 136MPH. It required a very long country highway in WI to make it there. My wife had a 00ish Elantra when we met that we had absolutely no issues with.

I have a 2003 Elantra GLS exactly like this that currently has 306, 000 miles on it. Original motor & transmission running like a sewing machine. Timing belt changed every 60, 000 & regular fluids. Best car I've ever owned .

“Cause any radio from 2005 isn’t going to keep up with modern tech”………I still drive around with the stock radio in my 09 civic; which really is a radio from the first 8th gen model in 06. It’s got am and fm, so it gets the job done

Last model year was 2006 in the US for this body style. They continue in other countries. They change the front grill and added "wood interior" for 2006 and front fog lights.

[cirian]

a 3rd Gen Elantra, not bad for a 2005 car that was released in 2000, so designed 1997-1999, so its a late 90s car in reality, which means its built to last.

I have an 04 exactly like this one and its been an excellent car, super reliable. Used to think it was inferior to my 04 Corolla but its proven to be as good. The silver paint still looks perfect while the Corolla's silver paint is pealing and horrible. Exceeded my expectations and love it!

My daily driver is a 2005 speed manual
Get around 38 to 39 mpg
Great lil'

Hyundai & Kia have really stepped up their game in the last 4 or 5 years!

[triggeredcat]

Hyundai doesn’t deserve the hate they get. They make solid cars and they deserve recognition for how far they’ve come.

[rummimg]

Those hold up pretty well if the owners did the timing belt which most of them don't. Not bad as a car.

[celsovera]

Why do so many people tint the windshield? They must have really good eyesight to see through that at night.

[beachlife]

The rear seats also have cup holders. You missed that part.

Also, they didn't change model type in 2006. It changed in 2007. 2001-2003 Elantra with XD chassis, 2004-2006 Elantra with XD2 chassis, 2007-2010 Elantra with HD chassis.

[davidsonshine]

I still ride my Hyundai Elantra from 2005. It has about 133k miles.

[upeedinalamb]

This lamb always notices Kia and Hyundai models suffer from burnt out tail lamps.

[AngelGarcia-zwt]

I have one and I bought for 2500$ thousand

[bwofficial]

I don't blame the owner for blacking out the windows, I wouldn't want to be seen in one of these either. I hope they only drive it during the day or drive it with the windows down at night. Otherwise, these are cheap basic transportation. I still occasionally see these barely holding together going down the road.

any car made by hyundai does not last since hyundai makes kia as well i had two kia optimas they had burning oil problems they dont last when it gets about 140, 000 miles they fall apart the most dependable car to own and they are good is the 2010 through the 2020 ford fusion hybrid they will out last any car brand out there my first ford fusion hybrid i gave to a family member and it has over 200, 000 miles and still runs strong and the ford fusion hybrid i have not is a 2013 and it runs strong
