1993 Hyundai Elantra 4dr Sedan
I got one of these in 2004 with 275k km on it, automatic transmission. It had one owner prior to me, treated with care. I took this car and drove it from Toronto Ontario to Kelowna British Columbia and back (9000km round trip) - I drove at 120 km p/h the whole way, in the mountains, if there was space before an uphill section I would floor the pedal and put it into 2nd on the uphill … passing lanes just to keep it at 80km p/h. I could smell the oil burning, but the car never, ever overheated or broke down.
Also drove Toronto to New York 10 times in a year and did not go easy on the car, but it was fine. Other than that it was used for commuting. throttle went and I let it die. GREAT CAR
Very reliable

1995 Hyundai Elantra GLS 4dr Sedan
Never thought I'd drive a Hyundai. Wife bought new before we married. Been the most reliable car I've owned in 25 yrs, including Hondas, etc. Only major issue has been replacing the front wheel bearings 3 times (twice under warrenty). Has the usual list of TSB's issues on the transmission but it has not broken. Besides the hard shifting and occasional engine hesitations, been a great … car.
I love it!

My friends had me talked into the Accent, I drove it, I hated it. They had the
Elantra on the lot, I gave it a spin, and I loved it! I was looking for a manual
transmission 4 door sedan, and this one had it all. It's been a good, reliable
car, and really good mileage for its time (I've never gotten less than 25mpg,
even with city and stop-and-go freeway driving with air … conditioning). I'll be
going up a class on my next car (next <2yrs), but I have NO regrets on my
Elantra.
reliable!

1993 Hyundai Elantra GLS 4dr Sedan
Best car I've ever owned--never
needed any repairs beyond what is
expected. I drove it about 1000 miles
a week for more than two years, with
no problems.
