2013 Hyundai ELANTRA consumer reviews

Red Hoagland Hyundai is a top notch dealer. I have purchased a vehicle, my room-mate two, and my best friend one. All were Elantra's and were purchased from Doyle. Our vehicles are serviced there and we will continue to do so.

I've owned a Hyundai since I started driving, so no surprise when I had to get a new car that I went straight to Hyundai. I looked at all the reviews of each of their cars, went and bought a 2013 Elantra and from the first fill up, I noticed it! Most people are raving about the great gas mileage, but my Elantra is only getting 21 city/33 highway. I took it in 6 weeks after buying it to get it looked at because it was only getting 24 city/36 highway and it is still under warranty; the dealership ran the computer update and said it should fix the problem, but that the car was "already running within 1%" on the gas meter, so there wasn't a lot they could do. Two tanks later, my mpg has dropped to 21 city, so I called the corporate service line, and they told me that there was nothing they could do. If you don't mind getting the mpg of a SUV while driving a small car, it's great....but buyer beware!

I bought this car to get me to and from work. I drive mainly highway miles on straight paved roads. I have owned this car for a little over a year now and have put 42,000 miles on it. This car has major issues with their tires. I have been having issues with the ties cupping. I thought the first time was just poor tires that they sell you the car with. But I bought nice tires and after 20,000 and tire rotations every 6,000 miles, the tires are cupped again. I do not transport anything in the vehicle besides myself. The service department has put a new rear axil on my car, but it still does not work right. So buyer beware! I feel I got cheated on this vehicle in so many ways. It has a nice look to it and is comfortable, but that is it.

The car is quiet, fuel efficient, large interior. A fabulous warrantly. This is better than any Toyota I've owned and muchmore stylish. Great car.

My wife and I had a 2001 Hyundai Elantra that I hated. It was real junk. My wife's car was hit while parked a few months ago and they gave us an Elantra (2012) as a rental. I actually argued that I wasn't gonna drive it, but had no choice. When I started driving the rental I was blown away. Smooth ride, comfortable interior (I'm a big dude), nice stereo with ipod controls and satellite radio, Bluetooth hands free phone system, steering wheel controls, alloy wheels, decent gas mileage, and I had a lot of compliments on it. I actually got embarrassed to say that it "was only a rental." I liked it so much that I traded my Tacoma on a 2013. I doubled my gas mileage, cut my payments in half, and got a ton more features. My only real negative comment is at higher speeds it tends to not handle as tight to the road as it does on the back roads around my small town.

The buying experience at Hardin Hyundai is FANTASTIC. I test drove, negotiated and completed my purchase in about one hour and twenty minutes. In the past at other makers dealerships, this has taken many long tiring hours PLUS my Elantra is very nice. Only problem is ... I don't like. the new car smell!! But it went after a few days.

less than 1 year old with a 3 incle rust spot...dealership and main office saying its normal wear and tear...after a fight on the phone, they only offered to put touch up paint on OVER the rust. not acceptable. also after only 2 weeks the mud flaps cracked off. i did not hit anything. they said that was normal wear and tear also. poor customer service, i wouldent advise anyone to deal with hyundai. not to mention the fuel economy they messed up on with this elantra, not worth it, take my advise, and tell your friends too

Bought a new 2013 Elantra from Ron Carter Hyundai recently. Pleased with my purchase. Had the best salesman ever - Anthony Merchant! Wish this guy could be cloned.

Amost as nice as our previous Sonata, but smaller in sixe yet has adequate trubk soace and is quiet driving

I had an amazing experience at Ron Carter Hyundai. Before I went I called and Veronica Hewitt was very polite and professional. She made sure the car I was interested in was available to see. When I arrived, a Hyundai employee approached me and asked who I was here to see while I was still in the parking lot . He opened the door for me and offered me water. I got the royal treatment. I met Veronica and she informed me that Scott Sanders will be taking care of me cause she was with a customer. She made sure i was in good hands. When i met Scott he asked me questions about What car i was interested in and made sure that i would get the best deal for a Hyundai Elantra GS. Scott didn't have the car i wanted in stock, so he went out of his way to find one. When I test drove the car, it was very smooth and excellent. I love the interior. I felt luxurious. The car arrived in 3 days and it's exactly what I asked for. They even gave me a car to borrow until the car arrived. Scott was very professional, polite, and a great sales person. If you are interested in a Hyundai go to Ron Carter Hyundai in Friendswood and ask for Scott Sanders or Veronica Hewitt. You will not be disappointed. I highly recommend this dealership.
