Best car I?ve owned

This is my 3rd Hyundai, 2nd Elantra. I?ve never had a problem with any of them and the warranty is amazing. And For the money you can?t beat all the features that you get with the car. Most importantly is the safety. I was recently in an accident where I was hit broadside by a Jeep Wrangler. I walked away without a scratch and just some soreness. This car is highly underrated.

Fantastic budget vehicle

This car is perfect for those who want a reliable and good looking set of wheels. Great performance, interior space is very proportionate, sleek exterior styling, smooth handling and wonderful fuel economy. This has been my favorite vehicle purchase to date and it cannot be beat for the price.

Great Car!

I?ve owned the Elantra for over a year now and it?s been a fun little car. I use the Apple CarPlay just about every day. The back up camera is really helpful too. The gas mileage is insane. In eco mode, I?ve seen it get up to 43 mpg.

Very Reliable

I?ve had this vehicle since August and it is amazing! Super reliable, cheap on gas, and runs smoothly. I know in -40 weather it still works and runs perfect as well, and that?s always a bonus!!

Eco, performance with fuel economy

Excellent fuel economy with amazing performance. 43.8 mpg over 5617 miles and 18 fill ups. Best 54.3 mpg, worst 37.0 mpg. Accelerates easily onto freeways, cruises effortlessly and quietly on interstate highways at 75 to 80 mph. Better highway fuel economy than my 2012 Prius V wagon. The Hyundai Elantra Eco is an excellent car for the open road.

Great value for the money

I bought the Limited model as I wanted the extra safety equipment and nav. Glad I did. I like the styling and the mpg is terrific

Best car I've ever owned

I love the color. It rides smooth. It's a great car for someone that is short, the seat adjusts perfectly.

The most practical & fun car I've ever owned

I am a huge fan of this car. I bought the 6 speed at the most basic level (no bluetooth, no backup cameras, and no cruise control). The car is fun to drive and good looking (very sporty). I was off the lot w/ a full warranty for under $15k and I am averaging 38 mpg - awesome!
