Decent & dependable and very fair priced!

I just purchased mine 2 days ago and so far I am very pleased the design inside and out is amazing and comfortable. My only complaint as of now is that I did get stuck in the snow on my way to work this morning but given my city just went through the biggest snow storm of its existence a week ago I can't say that I didnt expect it being that it is fairly low to the ground and is NOT an awd vehicle. If they made these with awd you would never need an suv or truck because that's all they are missing out on. They are very spacious but not too big overall a very well designed compact but roomy vehicle in all the right places! I am very satisfied with this purchase!

Great All-around Car

My Hyundai Elantra GT has been a great car for the past 5 years. I like that it is well equipped for such a small and less expensive vehicle. I have enjoyed the heated leather seats, the bluetooth connectivity, the SiriusXM sound system, the panoramic sunroof with the automatic sliding cover. The hatchback has been awesome when we need to haul a few things from one place to another when moving or from the store. We have owned 4 Hyundai's now, and although I would not have owned one before 2012, the models since then have been exceptional automobiles. The Elantra is for sale, being replaced by a 2015 Sonata Limited.

Love this car!

This is a drivers car....very responsive when cornering, acceleration, and braking. Exterior design sets it apart from other sedans. Interior is comfortable, I?ve taken many long drives (5+hrs) without any tossing and turning.

Most reliable car I have ever owned

This car meets all of my needs-gas mileage exceeds expectations. Tires lasted for 60,000 miles, still looked like new after 4 years.

I love hyundai elantras!

Ive owned a 2005, 2008 and now currently a 2013 hyundai elantra. Overall this is an excellent car. Very little time and money need to be spent on maintenance. Comfortable to drive. Lots of extras available like heated seats, additional speakers, cargo nets for the trunk, etc. Many cars come equipped with these and it wont break the bank to add an extra. Great in the snow although i do recommend snow tires. 2 things that dissapointed me about my current 2013 model is that even after changing the wiper blades 5 times within a year and bringing it to the dealership i rarely get a clean wipe leaving smootz in my direct view. Also the a pillars coming down from the roof on both sides of windshield are rather large creating a large blindspot. Even with my 2 complaints i find my 2013 hyundai elantra an excellent car for the money.

Great car with great gas mileage

It has great gas mileage and very dependable. Have never carried it to the shop for any problem. Clear coat and paint still look like new after four years.

great car

On my first 500+ mile trip, I averaged 28.8 mpg. If you're looking for a new crossover in this segment, put this one on your short list to test drive.
