Re: 2006 Elantra
Just bought the GLS sedan w/ 5 speed. Including fees, PA tax, license,
and inspection, price was just shy of $13K ($500 of the $1500 rebate
was for military). Looked at Toyoat, Nissan, Ford, and various others.
Nothing could touch the Elantra for the combination of price, features
and apparent quality. Of course real quality will fall out as time
goes on. It only has 500 miles so far. But fit and finish are
flawless. Access for routine maintenance is excellent. Power is
smooth and snappy; more would be a waste in my book. I do a lot of my
own repair and all maintenance. The manuals are on line. I had to lay
out $160 for the shop manual for the last car (Dodge Caravan). A nice
bit of icing.

I purchased an 05 in oct of 05 just when the 06's came out. I found
absolutely no difference in any manner between the 05 and 06. Might
be something different but its not obvious to me. I was told the
reason was that the 07 was coming out early, probably in the summer of
06 and it will be redesigned, so the 06 would remain the same as the
05. Any way, I have had the 05 about 2 1/2 months and have been very
satisfied with the car. No problems at all. Just took it on a 3,000
plus tip at christmas from cleveland to dallas. Drove the car for 19
hours only stoping for gas and a bite to eat. Went 70-76 mph at all
times except when going through cities where I had to slow to 60-65
mph. My mpg was over 30 miles per gallon with two adults, trunk
packed full and back seat half packed with christmas presents. Great
mileage. The gas tank holds about 14 gallons and I would start
looking for gas every 420-450 miles. Love the car. No problems.
