2013 Hyundai ELANTRA consumer reviews

This is a beautiful car, I love the heated seats, I love the heat on my back. This car is excellent on gas! I loveee my Elantra!

It is a great car with good mileage that lasts if it is taken care of. It also is good middle ground of of a day to day care and a fun car.

I love my hyundai elantra gls, got her at 113k , its at 187k currently and always reliable , fun to drive and I do all my own maintenance work! The only thing I can't stand is the cloth beige seats stain with rain or water only! Hard to get the perfect clean seats It's annoying so seat covers fixed that! I love this car I may buy another same year with lower miles!!

This car is either going to be the perfect economy car, or the worst car you've ever owned. I'm on my second engine. The first one had the tick of death, but it did make it 180k miles before it finally went out. From talking with the mechanic, I've also found that these cars have timing chain issues and an interference engine... not a great combination. We bought our car used, and the problem existed before we purchased it. I went on eBay and bought another engine from LKQ, and a local shop installed it for a grand. I have too much money in this car now to ever recoup my expenses, so I'll drive it until it falls apart. Pros: Great gas mileage (average 35 in mixed driving) Roomier than an econobox should be Good looks and styling Inexpensive parts!!!! CONS: Some engines have an issue where the piston pin is the wrong size on the 3rd cylinder. This causes engine knock that gets quieter as it gets warm. It's worse in the winter. Interior plastics around the radio and AC are prone to fading Steering system has a weak rubber gear in it that will have to be replaced every so often. Buy several of them. They're inexpensive. Lots of road noise Window buttons tend to stick Long story short, if your engine is one of the ones that knock, it's a matter of when it will fail, not if. You can get a replacement for about $1200, plus labor (was $1000 where I got the work done). Get one with a warranty. If your engine doesn't knock, keep the oil changed every 7500 miles and either use factory or FRAM EXTRA GUARD oil filters.

Bought a used 2013 Hyundai Elantra on March 7, 2018 at approx. 68,800 miles on it. Bought and paid in full on the spot at a used car dealership called Cavalier Mazada. It was a great vehicle. I got lucky and had no issue with it and did not experience the engine oil consumption issue with this vehicle. Had this vehicle until first week of October 2021 when I got another used vehicle. Reason is because it got totaled in an accident (not-at-fault) back in July 30, 2021. Structural got bent. I miss that car.

My Elantra 2013 is 11 Years old, with regular change oil every 8K kilometers and regular change of ATF every 40K kilometer, regular change of Spark plug every 20K, and some front parts(Front stabilizer link, front bar bushing, lower arm bushing) just recenty as normal wear &tear. My total Odo: 120K, No Engine and transmission problem.

I've owned my 2013 Elantra for ten years. I take great care of it. In the ten years I've owned it I've spent $283 dollars in repair costs. I should not have said anything because you know how that goes. My steering wheel is starting to have a clicking noise. I'll check into that when I'm able to drive again (shoulder surgery). I change my oil every 3,000 miles. Flush my transmission oil every 30,000 miles. My car has to last me a few more years.

Car has engine troubles and no check light comes on so they tell me they don't know what the problem is but they take the 180$ diagnostic fee.car sitting in drive way with problem TBD.

There a lot of road noise all over the car.That’s the biggest problem with the car.I try new tires thinking that help it quieter.But it didn’t. The car is 10 years old.But I take very good care of it.

Purchased 2013 Hyundai Elantra - currently $92k - I have repaired and/or replaced the following: AC (Kerry Hyundai could not repair while under warranty - naturally - but Don's Garage did for $550 - two starters - steering column and now in garage for a TBD engine issue. BEWARE!!!
