I love this car!

I purchased my 2015 Hyundai Elantra Limited without really even knowing all the extras it has. I'm learning new things about it all the time. I've never had a car so fancy! Hey, after 12 years with a Kia Spectra, this car is FANCY! I've never had leather seats, let alone heated leather seats! I've never been able to make a phone call by telling the car to call someone! I cant really think of anything about this vehicle that disappoints me at all. I'm just grateful to Gustman Honda in Appleton and my salesman Jon Devet for being so great and helping me keep to my budget while still getting SO much car! I know she's 6yrs old but shes like new to me, and I love her. Great car!

Most unreliable car that I have ever bought!!!!!!!

The engine has problems with piston slapping and under sized oil pump, which made a noise drive and wondering when the engine would break. Had the oil pan seal gasket redone 5 times and the crankcase seal 3. Had enough and decided to trade it in Then when to purchase a new vehicle from a different manufacture, they called the Hyundai dealership for vehicle record and they responded by saying that my vehicle had a defective engine. This is ironic because it was the first time Hyundai was honest but it cost me $1000 on the trade in. Hyundai dealership could not say to my face that had a defective engine it ,or when the vehicle when under warranty.

Great acceleration

I enjoy the power, the acceleration, of this small sedan. The small profile of this auto helps it, I believe, get the fantastic mileage that it gets. I also enjoy the comfortable seats.
