Best car ever!

I really love my Elantra! It is sleek, stylish, but also affordable. Smooth drive and I love that it has a rear view camera, sirius xm, a sunroof and usb ports. Fits my needs perfectly.

Wonderful car!

This car is amazing it fits my whole family the back seat has lots of room. It has traction control. I thought I wanted a different make and model car but chances are I'll always own a Hyundai from now on! There a great car at a great price!

So far, very impressed!

The car is very stylish as aggressive tones on the outside but a little boring on the inside with that's instrumentation and upholstery. Gets great gas mileage but you sacrifice performance. Handy is a very trustworthy brand and I know it will continue to be my preference and cars in the future.

Great little car for the price

This car is perfect. Plenty of room and has all the technology you need. I really like the Apple and Android apps., back up camera, hands free calling, and blind side mirror. The transmission has Eco and sport settings. A lot of car for a little price!

Cheap, but loaded with features.

After searching to replace my clunker car over the course of two months, I decided to lease 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition in beige. This is due to a number factors including features, price, and driving experience. The features of this car are probably it's main selling point next to price. My value trim has a 7" touchscreen, backup cam with peripheral sensors, blind spot detection, auto dimming rearview mirror, three driving modes (normal, sport, and eco), Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, three month Sirius radio trial, power everything including the driver seat with lumbar support, driver and passenger heated seats, and trunk open assist (which opens after a few seconds of having the fob next to it). Some of these sound excessive, but I find myself using these features nearly every day: the trunk opener is great with handfuls of groceries, the touchscreen infotainment center is quick, responsive, easy to use, and has great clarity, and the driving modes help to regulate my fuel consumption. The price of the vehicle also isn't too bad considering the options: I traded in my 13 year old clunker for the majority of the down payment (only putting up $500 cash out of pocket) and came away with a $204 monthly payment. After the warranty and insurance I'm paying about $300 a month. Comparatively, to have the features of this car in a Honda Civic Hatchback (which I also test drove), I would've had to put up an extra $1800 (the auto trans and Honda Sensing). Finally, the driving of this car, while in my opinion is good, may not be for everyone. This is not a fast car, it is not sporty, and it will not yield the experience of say a Mazda 3 might. However, I use this car primarily for commuting from home and the office, so the comfort-driven ride is exactly what I was looking for. Overall, I'm very satisfied with my car: it has the features of a high end vehicle at a reasonable price--exactly what I was looking for. However, there are three areas of concern if you're looking to purchase. First, the back seat is very small. I have not had to ride in the back seat yet, but if someone over about 5'8" tried to sit in back it might be a bit cramped. Second, it starts a bit hot in the mornings after sitting for awhile and shifts somewhat roughly when reaching higher gears, especially on an incline. Third, this car needs to be test driven as I don't think the driving experience (brakes, ride, handling, etc.) will be for everyone. I would say test drive this, the Honda Civic and Mazda 3 to get a feel for how differently this car handles.

Love this car

Love this car. I put 3,000 miles on it in the first month with no complaints. Well worth the investment.

Love our Hyundai!

We own a Hyundai Sonata. Love it. Trouble free for years, so we purchased a new Elantra. Love the styling, handling, gas mileage, electronics, and even the color (mineral beige pearl). Couldn't be more happy with it.
