im a newly turned 21 year old girl, this is my first car and it’s just absolutely fantastic. for the car to be 19 years old and be running this great and long is unbelievable. only a few times i’ve had to get it fixed. put a new starter in it, costed me $300. got my shocks fixed and fixed my ac. totally worth it because the car always gets me to where i need to be. the car is at 327,482 miles as of now and still runs beautifully. i named her jaz :D she’s my reliable little baby she’s a little rusty on the outside but she’s amazing at what she does. and also no lights on besides airbag!! would 100000% recommend this car.

Finally having to give up this car. 5 spd manual. 430000 kms and 17 years. It has been a tank. Best car I have ever owned. Still has a lot of original equipment on it. All original CV joints and boots, shocks and struts, alternator and starter, air conditioning system, transmission, even exhaust system except for frequent flex pipe changes, etc

This was my first car and it never really broke down on me yet, but there are some things to consider about it’s performance. I often times have to turn off the ac or heater when going up hill and a lot of the times, the automatic transmission will fail to go to a lower gear going up and down hill. My Elantra also started to have electrical problem, with lights on the dashboard not working and the automatic window system not working; this happened around 120k miles.On the positive end, it gets good gas mileage and held up for a long time, besides some of its issues.
