Best car I have owned

This is one of the best cars I ever owned, it is a great car to travel in, a lot of leg room, head room, and it is very comfortable. The car is up to date with maintenance and that's the reason why I feel like it is reliable.

Easy to drive and great warranty

Got it instead of the corolla because the back seat fits three car seats more easily. It's super easy to drive and the ten year power train warranty blows away the competition.

Very Nice Car

I just recently bought an Elantra, and haven't been disappointed yet. It's a very nice car. I has a smaller engine and gas tank then other cars, but I'm usually paying between 40 and 50 dollars for a full tank of gas. It's a very good car. I was lucky to have leather seats with my Elantra, but everyone is seated with comfort.

EXCELLENT CAR

I purchased this car brand new. It was my first new car and ever since i got it i have been very pleased with it. It has a very quite and smooth ride to it and it is very roomy to the point where it dose not even seem like it is a compact car but more like a midsize sedan. I work 45 minutes away from where i live so the elantra helps me a lot when it comes to saving money on gas. I also like the features that i got in the car such as XM radio, i pod USB, bluetooth, fog lights and cruise control which i use almost everyday. Ive had a lot of preowned cars so when it was time for me to get something new i had to make the right choice and I'm glad i went with the elantra it is comfortable, spacious, reliable, and has a lot of neat and standard features and it sits at an excellent price and a great warranty.

Happy to be back in a Hyundai

The Elantra is a good car. I am very pleased with this purchase. Plus, gotta love those Hyundai warranties.

Stylish, Zippy, 4 door sedan

I really like my 2009 Hyundai Elantra, I love the look inside and out I love how it handles. I love the heated mirrors and the fact the headlights turn off when I turn off the car that's a cool feature! I'm very glad I decided to purchase this car after all the research I did, I'm sure I wont be disappointed.

Very reliable and efficient car!

We helped our daughter get a '09 Elantra while she was in nursing school. We bought it new and have been VERY pleased with it. She has put lots of miles on it commuting to and from school. Now she's a R.N., married and 60,00 miles later we are buying the car off of her. Great gas mileage, (between 35-38 on the hwy) dependable, comfortable, great warranty and nice looking for a nice price. Pleased and satisfied is an understatement!

A little bit of everything we needed in a car.

Purchased our 2009 Elantra in the same year and haven't looked back since. Great gas milage. Comfortable to drive. Comes with all the perks for less money. Had one issue at 20k miles, transmission seal started leaking, (probably caused by one of the huge potholes around town I hit) the dealership nearby happily installed a brand new transmission and it only took them a few hours at most to replace it. I love when replacing a tranny is more cost effective than replacing one of its seals alone. All in all, my family is very happy with our Hyundai Elantra. Over the years my immediate family has owned around 5-6 Hyundais total. Perfect car for anyone concerned about value for your money and reliability.
