Great First Car Purchase

This was my very first car purchase and I am very satisfied with my vehicle. This car is beyond satisfactory and quite reliable. The gas mileage is great & it helps with my 45-min commute to work. This car has great features for the radio, including a free 3-month XM, USB port & audio jack. I would definitely recommend this car!

Lifetime warranty on the power train is great!

This car has been a great upgrade from the Dodge Caliber I used to drive. It has been wonderful so far. I love that you can use eco, regular or sport drive. Heated leather seats and bluelink is amazing.

Somewhat of a Disppointment

I was very impressed with the looks of the redesigned 2017 Elantra. So with the good reputation Hyundai has I decided to try it for my next vehicle. One immediate problem is the low to ground body design, which makes it impossible to avoid scratches in areas with a lot of high curbs, such as the one where I reside, also getting touch up work is extremely expensive as the way the body is put together, you can't just repair small areas. Another problem is dealing with Hyundai when you have problems, I find their customer service at the company level very poor. I find it near impossible to get any consumer help from the company. I got a factory recommended update to the ECM system, and the car has been running poorly ever since. Have taken it to two local dealers under warranty, and the problem still exists. Again the company is no help at resolving this. So far my change to a different brand has been rather disappointing, compared to other brands I've had in the past.

Each Elantra is better than my last !

Great value. Got it 6 weeks ago. Took trip from Bemidji, MN to Salt Lake City, UT and kept carefull gas records. One tank was 48 mpg and the worst one was going through Yellowstone National Park and I still got 43 mpg. This is my 3rd elantra (2003, 2012, 2017) and each one gets exponentially better ! Never and issue with any, 200 k on the 2003, 100k on the 2012 and 4k on the 2017 with 0 problems.

Beautiful, smooth-riding lease

I've had a great experience with this vehicle so far. Good gas mileage, comfortable and technologically up-to-date interior, and a great deal financially.

Excellent car

Best value and the 5 year/60,000 mile warranty is why I went with a Hyundai. Choose a Elantra for my driving needs very roomy, comfortable, and quiet. Enjoying all the new features, driving is a dream. Excellent experience at Hyundai of Cool Springs.
