 I bought my 2006 Elantra New May 06.  It now has 21000 miles on it and it has been very good to me, I have had no problems with it at all since i bought it.  Reliability is a 10++++ plus i bought the extended 10yr 100k bumper to bumper and i have to say that i feel 100% safe w/free roadside assistance with a push of a button on the phone.
