ElantraXD - Car of the Month

2005 Hyundai Elantra GT Sedan

How long have you owned your Elantra?

I got this car about 3 years ago in brand new condition.

Is there anything special, unique, or different concerning the history of your Elantra?

This is my first car and I had my first accident with this car.

Honestly, what was your intention when you bought your Elantra?

I needed a car, which was affordable, to drive around.



What was your intention after discovering EXD (or other Hyundai forums)?

I wasn't really into modding until my friends told me to get wheels for my car. After getting wheels and discovering EXD, I got more information on mods and parts to put on my car.

In one word describe the style of your Elantra.

KDM!

Who helped modify your Elantra?

My dad, my friends and local shops with installs.



What do you like most about your Elantra?

I like that it looks different than normal Elantras and my new wheels. =)

What do you like least about your Elantra?

I don't like that there isn't exhaust hole in rear bumper and I don't like the front bumper.

What modification is next for your Elantra?

Next mod might be taking out orange turn signal cover in front light and getting header.



On a scale from 0-10, how would you rate your Elantra?

8. Because I still think my car isn't done... I still need to do more mods.

Most commonly, what do people say about your Elantra?

"Avante? What car is this?" or "I haven't seen this car before... what kind of car is this?"

Who is allowed to drive your Elantra?

Me and my family only. Maybe few close friends.

What is the most outrageous thing you have wanted to do to your car that you have not been able to do?

I wanted to do supercharger or turbo on my car. Also, I know this is almost impossible but I wanted to ship my car to Korea and do some mods in Korea.



What kind of car did you own (or drive) before your Elantra?

None... this is my first car.

Realistically, what kind of car is next?

I really want to drive a 2 door, but I might get a 2009 Audi A4 or Subaru STI.
