A clutch failure after 17,000 miles is absurd. Something was seriously
wroing with the car or your driving habits. My guess is you don't
know how to drive a stick properly.
I put 135,000 miles on an Excel, 105,000 on an Accent and now have
an Elantra. I've had absoulutely no clutch or transmission problems.

Re: 2006 Elantra owners
in defence. to his response.. I did have an 04 Elantra GT that had the
clutch assembly replaced due to a bent throughout bearing.. clutch was
fine.. throughout bearing was bent so they replaced the whole assembly.
What I find is funny is this is the first time I have seen him post here and
its only to SLAM Hyundai.. maybe he should have spent another 5K and got
his Honda..;-)

Re: 2006 Elantra owners
Perhaps I should have spent the 5k extra and purchased a Honda. The
last Honda I owned went 125k on the first clutch, a fine machine. This
clutch problem is not operator error. I have owned at least 10 cars
since 1972 that have had manual transmissions, and all the clutches
went at least 60-100k miles. If you do your homework, you'll find that
the Hyundai clutch problem is posted all over the Internet, that
Hyundai is well aware of it, and that they refuse to fix it. Yes, it's
a value car, but where is the value in spending $1,000.00 every 20,000
miles to replace a clutch? You bet I'm slammin Hyundai. They're cheap
because they're cheap. Lousy clutches aren't the only problem.

I beat a 99 Accent 5 speed pretty heavily and now my buddy's kid is
driving it. I have around 6K on my 2006 Elantra 4 dr hatchback I
bought in mid December. I won't buy an automatic. No significant
problems, around 30 mpg in a mix of town and short expressway runs.
I looked at the equivalent Honda as a coworker has it. The cabin is
too tight. It's drive by wire so the throttle sometimes does weird
things according to him. He does beat my milage by 1 or 2 mpg but I
have a bigger engine.
If she is going to college with this I woud go for the 4 dr hatchback.
The rear seats fold flat so she can load a lot of "stuff" to get it
back and forth. The 4 door makes getting things in and out much
easier. The vehicle has a decent tow rating if she needs a small
trailer. She can also get roof racks if she is in to ski's, kayaks,
bicycle's or canoes. OTOTH she may want a better radio as the stock
one doesn't take her Ipod or do mp3's well.
