The Most Average Car I've Owned

There is nothing wrong about owning a Elantra or anything Special about the Experience. Road noise is high and it's just not as solid a vehicle as a Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic. The used prices are what drew me to the vehicle comparatively.

Easy to drive and very roomy interior

Very easy to drive and turn corners. Very comfortable roomy interior. We once went to Ikea and bought a bed and mattress and managed to fit it in the Elantra by lowering the back seats. You don;t need an SUV when you have this little car.

A car worth your money! Best value!

This car was my first legit car into adulthood. I love the bluetooth capabilities and leather interior of the Limited Model. Such a convenience! Absolutely love the mileage and the efficiency of the car. Hyundai knocks it out of the park with a highly affordable and state of the art car in the Elantra. Definitely a car that is worth the bang for you buck!

Best Car For Commuters

This Hyundai is perfect for commuters, it's amazing on gas, and extremely smooth. I've had mine for over two years now, and never had a problem with it.

Best car owned!

I loved my Elantra! The gas mileage was hard to beat and the ride was very comfortable. Although, if you're very tall like my fiance it is not very comfortable if you have passengers. The back is roomy but not it you need to put the seat back for maximum comfort while driving or as a front passenger. Other than that, this car gets a high rating!

Very good car

This car met all our needs just doesn't hold its value. We use it at least everyday as a family commute and we have 2 kids.

Great reliable car!

Car has everything we need - leg room, navigation, back up, sunroof, leather seating. The seats could be a little more cushion-y, but the ride is smooth. The passenger side seat sits a little low but otherwise is comfy. Great car for the money. Can't beat the warranty!
