Hyundai Elantra Review

this is an excellent This is an excellent car for the money. Very roomy for a compact and rated as an intermediate for interior space. the vehicle gets overall excellent gas mileage in the forty plus range. The only negative is the fact that the roof line is somewhat low on initial entry and you must be careful when entering.

Great Car

Would recommend the 2016 Hyndai Elantra to anyone. Car rides well and fits my daughter and I perfectly. So far no issues. Gas mileage is great. One reason I bought it besides the looks of the car. Anyone on the fence should really consider an Elantra.

Love my car

One of the most sporty styles on the market. I love the interior and the exterior equally as well. I have the value edition and I love all the bells and whistles it comes with. It comes with the handsfree key entry push start, all the way to the sunroof and back up camera. The performance is sweet and I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone.

You couldn't ask for a better vehicle.

I have the value edition of this car. The striking red color coupled with the sleek design makes it an eye catcher. With a sunroof and bluetooth, the sound system is crisp, car brakes on a dime, steers beautifully. Engine purs. Roomy interior with a sliding center console and plenty of cupholders. Trunk space is extremely good for the size of the vehicle & the seats flip down. The only thing I would change is the fabric beige seats; I wish they came even in a synthetic material since I have 7 nieces & nephews that frequently ride with me. Love that it is a small car, but the interior is roomier for taller people (my significant other is 6ft so that was important). Overall, you couldn't find a car with this quality & value at any other dealer. The price of this car is amazing considering how wonderful it is. I truly feel pride every time I step into it, knowing I'm driving such a sleek, reliable, beautifully designed car. A beautiful car made and sold by a fantastic company.

Comfortable as I wanted

It's amazing how things make a person happier. If you work hard you deserve to give to yourself a reason or something to keep moving forward. This means accomplishment.

RESEARCH RESEARCH RESEARCH

I wish I new that the so-called NEW USED vehicle had the warning of there is NO SPARE TIRE NOR JACK KIT! I had to go out of my way and spend and extra $300 plus the $$67 mounting fee to feel safe to drive around in the car. BEWARE !

Nice looking underpowered boring ride

I got a new 2016 Elantra Se In December of 2016 and absolutely hate this car. it may look nice and has nice lines but it's a bore to drive. This car is way underpowered, handles like a minivan and you feel every bump. At the very least this car should have 160 hp. The 147 hp engine is a bad joke and the passing gear engages anytime you hit the gas just a little harder than normal . I would dump this car today if I could, unfortunately they also don't hold their value so I am upside down for the next 3 years. There are better cars in this price range, don't get an elantra
