Great Upgrade from 2013 Elantra

I traded in my 2013 Elantra for the 2017 Elantra and I can't be happier. There are so many more bells and whistles that make my long drive so much more comfortable. The interior seems larger. I love the new design of the instrument panel. It's so much easier to view items now with the larger radio/navigation screen. I can't believe I lived without Apple CarPlay before this. It makes calling, texting and navigation so much easier. The noise that the 2013 made is now gone. So glad I UPGRADED to the 2017!

Very nice ride and no mechanical problems so far.

I like the interior of the car. The buttons and the dials are laid out so that the driver can reach them easily. The seats are comfortable in the front and there is a lot of leg room. The hands free phone is very convenient as well, and keeps the driver and passengers safe when either taking a call of receiving a call. The ride is very quiet, even though my car did not come with a blanket for the hood. One of the best features that I like, is the ability to either let the car shift itself, or shift it yourself. Shifting yourself can help extend the life of the breaks, if you use the downshift feature to help stop or slow down the car. The car hands well, and has a very tight turning radius. It is still small enough to be able to get in and out of parking areas with ease. This is a very well built car and comes with a 10 year, 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. I am very impressed with the advances in technology and reliability that Hyundai has placed in their cars in the last number of years.

More for your Money

With a 10 year manufacturer's warranty, I have little worry about the future. This car is stylish, has a smooth ride, back up camera, a great sound system and is the right size - not too small, not too big. The trunk room is surprisingly ample. Great car at a surprisingly low price.

Best boom for your buck.

This is Elantra Value Edition. This is my fourth Elantra I have leased. Earlier models left much to be desired, but every few years they would improve a little. This 2017 value edition was dramatically redone, from handling and road noise problems that were a chronic problem are now totally upgraded. So much more safety add ons that are standard. Knee airbag , backup camera with cross warning, lane departure warning, moonroof, power seat, and much more. This car will surely get very positive reviews in the future.

Elantra ECO. Better than I expected!

I just purchased a 2017 Hyundai Elantra ECO. I drive mostly highway miles so I chose the ECO for gas mileage. It has a smaller engine than my old Accent so I wasn't really planning on any kind of sporty feel. What a surprise when I put it into sport mode. This 1.4 liter turbo charged engine has quite a bit of snap. Awesome car and when on the highway, I'm averaging 42 mpg in normal mode with the A/C on. Better than the sticker claim of 40 mpg.

SO CUTE AND SPORT

I love the MPG. The interior cloth is beautiful. I'd like to interior of the doors to be a little less cheap looking. Lovely overall.

Best NEW car I've purchased

First new car purchased in 19 years. It is a fantastic vehicle. Beautiful styling inside and out. Loaded with options for a car in it's class. Fit and finish are perfect. Can't talk about reliability as I only have a few hundred miles on it. I expect it to be a very reliable car.

Hooked by Hyundai

This is my second Hyundai in a row. If you have not given Hyundai a chance or done really know the brand, I challenge you to just simply test drive one before you buy anything else! I was always a Honda guy. But one day my Mom bought a Hyundai Sonota. I fell in love with it. So much I had to go buy my own. You can't beat the warranty, which I haven't had to use at all yet. And the list of standard bells and whistles, I was extremely impressed. Give Hyundai a test drive today!
