 I purchased my 2003 elantra when it was about 2 years old and had abour 80,000 miles on it. Now, I've had it for 2 years and am so in love with it. I have put on almost 60,000 miles in 2 years. I've changed oil, brakes and headlights.... that's it! I think that is great since it is just shy of 140,000 miles. I have two jobs one requires occasional highway miles to be put on the car and the other is delivering pizzas. Yes 60,000 miles with about 2/3 of those as pizza delivery miles. Simply amazing! I was about to make an offer on a 1994 Honda Accord with over 100,000 miles when this fell in my lap for less than $1,000 more than what I was going to offer. My MPG averages City 24 /HWY 32
