Reliable Daily Driver. Everyday Workhorse.

2009 Hyundai Elantra GLS equipped with a 5 speed manual transmission shifts smoothly even after 320,000 Kilometres. Interior is very basic with few creatures comforts like heated seats and cruise control. This car serves a purpose as a great every day commuter car. Reliable and sensible. Ride quality is comfortable for short commutes. Longer commutes fall short if you are a taller individual you might feel cramped. Overall it’s a good car. Cheap, reliable and efficient.

11 years later and still going strong

I bought this car brand new in 2009 and I'm still driving it. Now with over 120k miles, I have yet to have an issue with it. I've only had to keep up with basic maintenance. No random breakdowns or mechanical issues. The definition of reliability!

Very reliable and smooth.

This vehicle is a catch for the it’s price. It’s in great condition. Only negative is the pump on the hood but it doesn’t seem to serious.

Best deal ever made.

The vehicle is cosmetically gorgeous however now that I've had a chance to drive it there are a few kinks. I think it's the gas that was put in the car but not sure. It drives funny and jerks when I stop. I know it's not the transmission so right now I'm fine. The vehicle does have a lot of miles on it but you can't tell by the looks. I trust if there are any major issues Fitzgerald will assist in taking care of them.

Good car with low maintenance.

Bought my elantra last year in october. Its a simple and low maintenance car . Its a 2009. It had low mileage. Former owner kept it pristine. If your looking for a used hyundai only go to a qualified dealership. I only replaced the tires ans battery.
