Pros: What do you like about 2006 Hyundai Elantra?
Warranty.
Fuel economy.
Purchase price.
Durability.
Purchased new 8/'06, now have over 153k miles. Typically 27MPG, even 34MPG - over 500 miles per tank without a/c use (winter).
Interior still in great condition, exterior paint still very good. Everything still works as it should, except the windshield washer pump.
Still have roadside and have used it for running out of gas a couple times. Can go 50 - 70 miles once gas pump light comes on.
Cruise control holds steady on long, flat drives.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 Hyundai Elantra?
Changing the timing belt every 60k miles is expensive.
There is a stink that re-occurs from time to time since new - cannot find the cause.
Could use a more powerful air-conditioner.
The buttons to control the sunroof are too close to the buttons for the overhead lights and should be back-lighted.
The speedometer reads slower than actual speed.
It could be a little bit quieter (road and wind noise).
2006 Hyundai Elantra Review:
Really a good car for the money. Not my favorite though - '88 Cougar, '96 Intrepid and '75 Monte Carlo were more to my liking for styling, power and space (everywhere).
Running the car out of gas, it'll take 17 gallons to fill. Loses fuel economy and power quickly with added weight of passengers or cargo.
Overall though I do like this car.
