Love my ride!!

Wasn't sure what type of vehicle I wanted but after test driving my Hyundai Elantra I am super happy with my choice. It's great on gas has all the needed features, my ride is smooth and it is great on gas. I am a happy camper now I can hit the road for summer and not worry about gas prices breaking my pocket. I would definitely encourage anyone to choose a Hyundai Elantra as their next purchase. You cannot go wrong. Value for your money!

Simple, elegant, overall good car.

Previous to this Elantra I owned a 2014 Elantra. I recently upgraded to the '17. So far, the interior took some getting used to. I liked the wrap around feel of the older car, this one seems...much more modern. The car is a few inches wider too which allows for a more spacious feel. The seats are comfortable and provide good lumbar support. I haven't gone on a long road trip to see how long I stay comfortable but I have been in the car for about two hours straight and never felt discomfort. The ride is smooth, steering feels solid. Not too much roll when taking curves in the road, but this isn't a performance vehicle so I never expected too much there. Speaking of performance, a word on horsepower/speed upon start. Not impressive, but certainly better than my previous Elantra. However, again, this is not a car to be driven like a sports car. The Elantra '17 has enough power to move into traffic relatively easily, but certainly applies safety principles, as in, make sure you've got enough distance to make your move. I recommend this car as a graduation present as it would provide the room for friends to tag along, but wouldn't be too fast or aggressive. I have found the car to get daily good gas mileage also, and there are different driving modes to match the need for the situation whether it be sport, economy, comfort, or regular. These can be selected by the push of a button. Overall, I do recommend this car if you're looking for a vehicle that provides a good ride, and good gas mileage. Plus, the design isn't bad to look at either. Oh, and lastly, there's a touchscreen in mine.

Great value for the money

I am super happy with the value of my new vehicle. I am also impressed with the warranty. The vehicle is not cheap at all....very good value for the money.

Elantra Value Edition Best Car in its class

This car met all my needs. I was impressed with the manufacturer and the way they made the value package of this car an actual model versus adding to the base model. You can't go wrong with this package and price for this line of car. It beats all competitors in the same class. You get a car with superb gas mileage sunroof Bluetooth,android, and apple car play for under 20,000 does not get any better. It has spacious legroom dual climate control. Periscope steering and sunroof. If you read this it is worth looking at and or driving.

2017 Hyundai Elantra

Averaging 33 mpg. Love the car. Only thing I'd put on wishlist is a little more padding in the seats. Otherwise it's an attractive fast sedan with lots of electronic gizmos = Bluetooth, syncing is easy. It's a new car and I have NO issues with it other than the seats are a little harder than I'd like - but in defense of the car I do have sciatica problems so it may be me not the car.
