I love Hyundai's... I bought another... I've had 4

Great comfort and fun to drive.. Never had a problem mechanically... I also had a Hyundai Accent with 200,000. Never had any major issues... Just keep oil changed as instructed... It'll last... Thanks

Very nice car...met expectations

Rides great, very comfortable ride and interior. Exterior styling as well as interior styling are great. Reliability of model also gets high marks. Some exterior damage that didn't show up in photos, but price was right and will cover repairs.

good value but MPG not up to standard

for the money It is a good car. However it has never come close to the mpg posted on the window. And mileage was a big reason i purchased the car. I have had no mechanical problems with the car. My wifes car got much better mpg and felt more solid and was quite inside. But we paid 50% more for that. Wife wins. I like my Hyundai

Very dependable and stylish Elantra!

I bought the 2013 Elantra for my wife who commutes about 30 miles per day. This model has every option available, and it's a fun car to drive. It gets good gas mileage, so she can run around in it everywhere without breaking the bank on gas expenses. The ONLY complaint we've had is the "high performance" (i.e. SKINNY) tires, which are so thin that they find every bump and jerk you around. Other than that, it's a great car (and the tires will soon be replaced with some bigger ones.)

Not off to a good start

This car was bought for my nephew to drive to school-2 1/2 hours away from home. Wanted reliable, but not confident It is. Owned a Hyundai before, thought I would give a 2nd chance.

Loved this car!

Great gas mileage. Excellent features. It came with a free 3-month subscription for Sirius XM radio. They programmed it to be able to answer my phone hands free.

Horrible Gas Mileage

Hyundai lied about the mileage I don’t know what happened I never saw a penny but the car has never gotten better than the low 20s and I bought it brand new it’s a reliable car and other than that I haven’t had problems but if you’re looking for a good gas mileage car do not buy this one

Exactly what you would expect from Hyundai!

This is our third Hyundai and there is a reason we keep going back...outstanding value, great performance and reliability, unbeatable warranty. Things that you would expect to add cost to your car usually came standard on all of our Hyundais. Love it!

So far it’s nice

It’s only been a month and it’s ok so far besides it feels like it doesn’t want to push . Hopefully I don’t have transmission problems
