General comments?
This 2004 Elantra is my wife's daily driver. She has owned it since new, and in 4 years put 108,000 miles on it. While I was reluctant to even touch such a great running vehicle, I just invested in a timing belt service and a few misc items (timing belt/water pump/tires/belts/coolant).
This car has been rock solid reliable and a great car in most every respect! We bought the car for 10,250.00 BRAND new, out the door, AFTER taxes in 2004!
This is my/our 5th Hyundai. I currently own an 05/Elantra GLS 5 door as well.
The car is great in every respect. It's still rides great with a solid, squeak/rattle free body!
We are Hyundai owners for life!
