WOW What a car

This car is fast from the from the getgo. Four cylinders of optimal performance, hugs the road and responds quick. Convenient commands on steering wheel including Blue Tooth Calling. Large trunk space can be made even larger even by folding down the back seat. This automobile is a treat to drive

The best of its size

Pretty cool, gas is perfect, 3 driving modes, I love Android Auto, a lot of info on the dashboard, the sensor on the side and back with sound is very useful. It's better than Civic or Corolla and cheaper.

Immediately nicknamed The Granny Bubble

I own a 2014 Elantra Sport M/T the engine failed and has been/continues to be backordered for the last 6 weeks. I was given a 2018 Elantra to drive. I own from mile 982 to 2,500 so far. I have never driven such an unresponsive, boring vehicle in my life. I can't pull out in traffic of any kind since it won't go when I push on the gas. It just sits there and finally jerks into gear. The radio sucks, there is no CD player, which I assume is now standard. The music immediately distorts with any real volume . Yuck! Just YUCK!

Over all the car was good and drove well..

Everything about the vehicle was pretty good. I just wish I had a sunroof like my previous car and leather seats for easy cleaning. I liked that it had an eco and sport mode as well.

2nd Elantra purchased

Love the style and reliability of the car. This is the second Elantra that I have owed. Had a 2003 that was purchased new, and had no major problems with the car at all.

Smooth ride

This car was exactly what I was looking for. I drive over an hour to work in traffic and needed a car that was gas efficient and fit my budget. Back seat is roomy enough for 2 grown kids and a car seat!

Hot for Hundai

I really think this car is great! I was impressed with the larger size of Elantra. Lot's room for me and for passengers. Also the design & two tone interior are really impressive. The large screen in the dash makes backing up a lot easier. Not to mention all the safety features that come standard. Last but not least the warenty that comes with my car. That was really what made me feel good about my decision. Plus I also bought the extended warenty. The car drives great down the road. The blind spot notification is terrific too. They'er lots of things I love about my car. Just try one like I did.
