"We purchased this car because we drive 38 miles on way to work and 38 miles back and wanted something with very good gas mileage. Well the gas mileage has not even been close to what they say. You hear a ton of road noise in the car when driving. It does not handle well in the snow. We traded ours in for a Sonata, which I love."

"Like my title says, I hate cars. Maybe because I'm a single female who doesn't know much about cars. After my experience at Keyes Hyundai in Van Nuys, as a team they have proved me wrong and changed my mind about cars. I wasn't up-to-date on the new technology involved as well as leasing, financing, etc. Richard Chan, the internet manager, is thee most helpful person I have ever met. He was patient and kind in updating me and explaining every question I had asked. I'm in love with my new Elantra, and he made sure I was in love, not just satisfied. Best car dealership I have encountered and Richard is the best internet sales manager, keep it up Richard you'll be a millionaire soon! LOL Thank you again. AMAZING CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!"

"My Elantra is driver friendly and comfortable with lots of little touches that make it seem a bit like a luxury car. The only drawback is that it does'nt come with a spare tire. The air pump provided does work however. I know because I had a flat the second day."

"This car is a very good value compared to even Toyota and Honda's offerings in this class. Reliable, and even some pretty advanced features on the base model. It feels like it has more power than you would expect and is more attractive than many cars in this class."

"I'm a big man and this car fits. Iv'e heard about the mpg issue, but I must tell you I have had my average sometimes go above 40 mpg. I'm just saying. Anyhow the dealer was awsome. the saleslady Judy was great. My wife likes the car so much she's getting rid of her problem Linclon, and she wants a Elantra."

"This was the first time ever to buy a brand new car. We decided on the Hyundai Elantra because of the 20 year 200,000 powertrain warrenty offered by one dealership. The Elantra has some very distinct body lines which stand out far and above the simple rounded look of many other cars in its class. We were also looking for a car that has good gas mileage. From the research I did, the Elantra was one of the best in its class. We chose the preferred package as opposed to the limited and it still came with fog lights and heated seats. We were thrilled. We plan to drive this car 200,000 miles. If Hyudai is true to it warrenty, I don't see why we shouldn't be able to drive it that far with very little major repair costs."

"Stylish, excellent fuel mileage, "bun warmers" get a lot of use this time of the year, excellent warranty, brakes well, good response. Would have preferred a spare tire to the inflation device."

"Don't buy into the hype. I did. Let me list just a few. 1. mpg-only get real 31 mpg highway, never will see 40. 2. HP- underpowered. 3. no spare tire. For those of you who don't care, will be sorry when you fill up your tire along the road somewhere, and later discover you just cost yourself $200. for a new tire. You just ruined your tire after using your can of fill. 4. Blind spot from pillar. This is the most important. You could kill someone if they are caught in between the blind area of the pillar on driver and passanger side. Do not underestimate this! 5. Funny how your mpg reading on milage after a fillup always says its 4 mpg better then what it actually is. Was this done on purpose? You decide."
