I’m a 6’5” man and I fit very comfortably in the 2014

I’m a 6’5” man and I fit very comfortably in the 2014 Hyundai Elantra GL. It is the only compact car that I could sit without my knees hitting the steering wheel and being able to comfortably extend my legs. I put my seat all the way back as you would expect which doesn’t leave much room for passengers in the back seat, but it doesn’t matter since I extremely rarely have passengers there.

My mother bought the 2014 Elantra Limited as a certified

My mother bought the 2014 Elantra Limited as a certified used car, got a GREAT PRICE, and ten years later (granted she is a granny and drives very little) not one problem mechanically, and it has not been stolen yet (that is the one negative thing I read about this year make and model) so hey got to give it 5 stars, based on my VERY PICKY MOMS REVIEW.....

Lock switch is dark at night.

My experience has been fine. The only complant is that at night the window switch is lit but a huge safety issue is that the door lock switch is dark. I wanted to lock my door I couldn't see it. I knew we're it is but I shouldn't have to search for it when I feel threatened. Men don't need to have it lit but women do.

Suggestions?

I bought my car used and must say its the best car ever. I love it. However im having a little problem with i guess electrical,in my dash and it sometimes not turning over. However, when i apply my brakes it straightens up. Weird. Im a single, unemployed female at this time so if anyone has an idea what this could be,please feel free to elaborate. Other than this problem. She is my baby. Love it.

Least reliable vehicle I have ever owned

I think the exterior is well desighned and looks sporty. I think the engine is crap and riddled with problems. This car started having engine issues at 74000 km. Dying . Would not start on cold mornings . Had it towed into the dealer. Several times . Sounded like a diesel no acceleration 1.8 engine. Hyundai taking no responsibilty for it. Saying its fine. Like its normal for a car to die every 20000 km or less. Had this car lose all engine capacity doing 100 km down the highway . It cut out died . As I tried to accelerate engine light came on . I lost amm stearing. I was able to coast it. And turn it over . Or I would be dead .. It is a DEATH TRAP !!!!

Nice Used Vehicle

Car had low miles for the year for as old as it is. Very well maintained. Looks really nice after the dealership did the detail on it.

Very reliable and always start smoothly.

I truly enjoy my vehicle and it still looks and runs like a new vehicle. I don't drive the long distances as before, but its always dependable.
