Excellent value

This is not the most comfortable car I've owned and definitely not the most performance oriented, but it is an excellent value for the money. The amount of features you get with the the Value Edition version has many great features I love or am learning to love. For something reliable (warranty was a strong selling point) that can comfortably and safely get you where you need to go (and economically, averaging 42.4mpg) then the Elantra is at the top of the list for me.

Very reliable and nice little car for the money!

I am picky with my vehicles and this car exceeds my needs. It has plenty of head and leg room, large trunk for a compact car, latest safety features, and latest convenience pkg. The high reliability rating and factory warranty were a factor in my decision to purchase my 2017 Elantra Limited.

Great car, Great value.

I have been driving Hyundais since 2002 and this is my eighth car. I opted for the limited with the tech and ultimate package. I am extremely happy with this car I think the exterior is very stylish the interior well-thought-out the seats are very comfortable and there is plenty of room inside. The trunk has plenty of room for storage and the overall layout is one that I like very much. My only two negative comments would be first adjusting the driver's seat for a comfortable position for my short stature. It took several days to get it to a comfortable position for myself but now that it is and I have it set on driver preference I have no problem putting it back where I'd like to drive best. My only real negative comment would be the powertrain. The 2.0 engine that they have used 4 years seems to be a little outdated. It is Pepe but at high revs gets very noisy and for passing it lacks the pickup to pass with confidence. I feel that Hyundai could tweak the engine a bit and maybe redistribute the powerband a little to get the engine little more power Overall I love this car and I would highly recommend it

My very first car, and I love it!

This car is so comfortable to drive in, and it's very quiet. Sound system is good, and there are USB ports as well as Aux ports to plug in your music. The volume and song selection controls on the steering wheel are incredibly useful, and the hands-free calling system is fantastic. The 'sport' mode also allows the driver to get an extra speed boost when merging onto a highway. I can't get over how much I love my car. I would highly recommend this make and model to others looking for an affordable, attractive, and reliable car.

Good but could be better

This car is the Limited edition and is very well equipped. Lots of bells and whistles!! Which I love. However the lack of power when you press your foot down is heartbreaking! I?m not asking for breakneck speed but a little more horse power would make this car outstanding!

Wonderful choice for short-trip commuting

Very smooth, refined ride. Good on gas and appealing to the eye. Pretty spacious interior and has a decent set of features.

It is my second Elantra

Love the car, the only issue I have is the acceleration.... is lags in that area. It takes a long time for the car to speed up. It is a comfortable and safe car. When driving long distances it barely feels like I'm driving because I'm so comfortable the entire time.
