2005 Hyundai Elantra GT Sedan Test Drive & Quick Tour - 124K

2005 Hyundai Elantra GT Sedan
( Sorry but I was very limited filming this car & it was immediately picked up when I parked it )
This has a 2.0L 4 Cyl making 138 HP while paired to a 4 Speed auto.

Honestly, the only positive thing about this car is how the Interior actually contains many surfaces that are soft to the touch. But I don't like the Ride which felt kinda bumpy and floaty at the same time. The steering felt disconnected. Exterior materials are very brittle & the headlamps of these cars are easily prone to fade. The engine is rated to deliver 138 HP but it certainly didn't feel like it. The 4 Speed auto also isn't a help either and felt quite sensitive at times such when demanding more speed, the tranny would throw down too low of a gear. POS Car overall

Did you enable the 'Loud' feature on the Radio? It makes a big difference on these Hyundais in sound quality!

@NotARealUTubeAccount

Totally 4got, I know Hyundai's had that but wasnt sure if this had it as it did sound a bit bassy as is.

[shocktrooper1000]

too bad that car is such a dog. I wish I lived in a place with open road like that. seems where I'm from I can't. go 100 feet without a light.

@shocktrooper1000

LOL & thats actually a narrow twisty road. Its pretty much a local shortcut with with no lights to avoid the murderous Florida tolls. But yeah FL roads & Highways are very open

Looks like somebody likes Ford products, you drive a Lincoln, somebody else has a Blue V8 Ford Explorer, and somebody else drvies a White Ford Escape. Plus your ride was also another Ford product. It's funny though I know like 3 other families, one right next door to me, one of my co-workers, and a customer who stops in where I work, and each of them have nothing but Fords. There were numerous times I almost got a Ford, but didn't. Had 4 Mercury's in the past though.

@carman81usa

It was actually my dad up front in the Marquis which is his, the mom uses the Explorer, I use my Lincoln. LOL, next door Neighbor has a 2005 Sport Trac & the other has a 2010 Fusion. That 01 Escape V6 actually isnt personal & was delivered to a dealer a few days later which I didnt have a chance to film. Quick little bugger too.

Not a bad car for the price

@Fred924 korean cars r junk, buy ford

[Fred924]

the 2000 Hyundai Accent that I did actually had a decent interior for a crappy car. It was better than more expensive cars. I bet that car needs an O2 sensor or a catalytic converter.

@trollsALWAYSneedmeds

American cars are just as good as Korean, and both are pretty good these days. The Japanese continue to do what they do best so they are still just as good, but Toyota is really the only one falling behind. Reliability and quality is all pretty good for everyone now but Toyota and Chrysler are still lagging behind everyone

[talldude123]

@trollsALWAYSneedmeds Well, Hyundai and Kia have had no major recalls, that's proof, and they IMPROVE over the years, unlke Japcrap that does the opposite over the years.

[trollsALWAYSneedmeds]

@talldude123 i meant PROVE that korean crap is better than american and jap cars

[thecarexpert21]

if i could force a Honda engine in this... i'd take it.

[talldude123]

Honda hasn't had any major recalls, Toyota has had quite a few in the last 3 years.

[trollsALWAYSneedmeds]

@talldude123 biased kia fan, how about u prove it?? u even like jap cars, like honda

[talldude123]

@trollsALWAYSneedmeds Korean vehicles have proven themselves to be better than japanese cars. Why do they have the term "jap-crap"?
