DO NOT BUY THIS CAR! If you read about the many problems, you'll find
that Hyundai is building junk. My 2005 Elantra just had a clutch
replacement at 17,000 miles, and Hyundai won't cover it. My
investigtion reveals that this is a common problem, along with many
others. Get her a Honda.

What were the details about your clutch replacement? What failed?
Disk? Pressure plate? Throw-out bearing? Hydraulics?
