How long have you owned your Elantra?

I bought my Elantra new on January 2, 2001.

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

It has only travelled 21,346km. It has won eight trophies from seven car shows.

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

I bought the Elantra as a car to be driven daily. I drove it around for the first twelve months before deciding to do it up.



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

To learn more about Elantra\'s and to see how other people modified their rides

In one word describe the style of your Elantra.

CLASS.

My dad, my wife, and a few mates.



What do you like most about your Elantra?

The paint work.

What do you like least about your Elantra?

Not being able to park it in the street without someone scratching it. This has happened a few times and it has cost me a lot of money to fix the paint.

What modification is next for your Elantra?

Bigger brakes.



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

I would give it an 8 out of 10.

Most commonly, what do people say about your Elantra?

When I'm at car shows no one knows what type of car it is. When I tell them it's a Elantra they can't belive that someone could do all that to an Elantra.

Who is allowed to drive your Elantra?

Me.

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

Turbo.
