Love Elantra's

Value for the money. It's exactly what I need to get me to and from work. It's also good on gas. Wish the trunk was bigger.

Rented for a day for a 6 hr ride.

I thought it was very uncomfortable and the shifting of the engine was very annoying as it was shifting the gears. It did get good gas mileage.

Great car for the money.

Could get 5 star reviews of a few small things were fixed. The auto open trunk feature needs a stable time. For me, waiting 4 seconds standing there is a hassle. They should allow you in the settings to change that to 3 or 2 seconds. No change holder. A small coin holder could have been incorporated in the middle console. Heated steering wheel. Rain since wipers. Let's for cargo net should be preinstalled, not a dealer having to drill the car to aftermarket install them. And the biggest pet peeve is again the trunk. If you get out and have your door open and go to put something in the trunk, youA. Can't use the auto open feature, and B. The key fob trunk button won't work either. You have to pull the manual lever by the floor to open the trunk. If the car is running, same thing. So if say you and your wife go to the hardware store and she stays in the car with it running, you come out with stuff to put in the trunk, well, you have to go open the drivers door and pull that lever. They could have at least put a button on the dash front so the passenger could pop the trunk.

Amazing car!

I have rented a couple 2019 SEL Elantras and I absolutely love them. They are very pleasant to drive, and I most especially appreciate the standard lane keep assist, which is usually found on significantly higher priced cars. It basically steers itself, even around fairly sharp curves, but it will beep at you if it thinks you aren't paying attention. The standard blind spot monitor is also very nice and helpful. It is a quiet and comfortable car with a lot of nice standard features. The only feature I was surprised it did not have is push button start and entry, which is standard on all trim levels above the SEL. The first Elantra I rented was for rural driving and I got an astonishing 56 MPG (granted I do drive efficiently and this was in ECO driving mode but it's still very impressive). The second time was for highway driving of 70-75 mph and I got a very impressive 46 MPG that time. There are so many things I love about this car, 1 of which is the ECO driving mode. I don't notice a difference in driving modes of most cars I drive, but I definitely noticed a difference with the Elantra. It limits engine response to provide very smooth and efficient driving. When you resume cruise control in most cars, they rev the engine up like crazy to get back to the set speed, but the Elantra in ECO mode does it very smoothly and quietly. I think this is the most perfect car for a person who does a lot of highway travel, or just someone who wants an affordable and comfortable car. The ECO trim is my favorite, as it has an even more efficient engine with auto start/stop, dual zone automatic temperature control, an automatic trunk release when it senses you are at the trunk, and heated seats.

Love this car and it was a great deal

Excited to drive my car every day and hope to take road trips in her with my family. It's the second Elantra I've had and would do it again.

New Hyundai owner

I love this car. I was always a Honda Civic person, but when my Honda started to crap out I looked at other comparable cars which brought me to Hyundai. I purchased the Hyundai Elantra Value Edition. It has been absolutely amazing. Has so many features that would have cost an arm and a leg with a Honda. I rated 4 stars on exterior because my personal preference is a wish the back didn’t have Elantra spelled out huge and performance 4 starts because it does take a second for the getup. That can be changed if you put the car into sport mode. I have about a 60 miles commute to and from work every day. I put my car in smart mode and have been getting 45 miles per gallon. This has been such a great purchase.

Most reliable car I've owned.

This car has exceeded my needs and expectations. It has plenty of legroom for the people who ride with me. The comfort of the car itself, and in knowing I have an awesome and reliable car, makes me worry a lot less! I went from a 2009 Hyundai Sonata to a 2019 Hyundai Elantra and it was the best purchase I have ever made! When the time comes, I will definitely buy another Hyundai from Craft Hyundai!
