05xd 2005 Hyundai Elantra GLS Sedan How long have you owned your Elantra? I purchased my Elantra on May 18, 2005, Is there anything special, unique, or different concerning the history of your Elantra? This is my first new car. I was going to buy a used Impala and was talked into buying the Elantra. Honestly, what was your intention when you bought your Elantra? To have a dependable vehicle that wasn't always breaking down. What was your intention after discovering EXD (or other Hyundai forums)? To mod the crap out of my car. This is the only Hyundai forum that I am active on and wanted to help others and be helped. We are like a big family here. In one word describe the style of your Elantra. DOPE! It's dope because it's mine! Who helped modify your Elantra? My friend Buecker. I couldn't have done it without him. What do you like most about your Elantra? That it's pretty fast for a "grandma car." What do you like least about your Elantra? The small aftermarket following for it. What modification is next for your Elantra? Tint! I got to have tint before I do anything else. (ADMIN edit- That was quick, he already has his tint). On a scale from 0-10, how would you rate your Elantra? I'll give it a 9 right now. It's a fun car to drive after you put the parts on it that the factory didn't. Most commonly, what do people say about your Elantra? "That can't be a Hyundai!" Or they see the badges and ask "what's a ElantraXD?" Who is allowed to drive your Elantra? My girlfriend and my friend Beucker. What is the most outrageous thing you have wanted to do to your car that you have not been able to do? Turbo, hands down. One day she will be boosted, hopefully. What kind of car did you own (or drive) before your Elantra? I drove a 1991 Nissan 4x4 pick-up. It's weird going from a lifted mud beast to a speed bump scraping sedan. Realistically, what kind of car is next? If it comes out, the Accent SR. Until then, I don't plan on getting rid of my XD2.
