You definitely get more bang for your buck

This car meets all my needs and more. It gets great gas mileage, even in stop and go city driving. The exterior is very stylish, and the interior looks more expensive than you may expect. Performance is great, and you can select from three driving modes at the touch of a button. The car is solid and I recommend taking a good look before buying something more expensive. The kicker is the fantastic Hyundai warranty.

best car for college student budget!

This is a great car for my frugal lifestyle. It's a little loud but it's not much to bother. Seats are hard and interior picks up dirt easily but this is my first car I bought BRAND NEW. So I'll say I love it.

New Car Owner

I love my new Hyundai Elantra. In my opinion, the Elantra has more room then other cars we tried including mid size. We rented the Elantra for a vacation to go from San Antonio to Montana. The Elantra has lots of room, is peppy and had great gas mileage. After reading reviews on the car, and reading about the 100,000 mile warranty, we decided that the Elantra was for us! I just bought the Elantra so I do not know how reliable it is at this time. But I can tell you that so far I am very glad that I purchased this car!

2017 Elantra Limited

We were extremely surprised at all the features this car had for the price. Navigation,all leather heated seats.outside mirrors heated with turn signal lights. Blind spot alert. back up camera,keyless entry, auto trunk opener power windows and door locks. This is our 2nd Elantra we also have a 2012 that is still under factory warranty. We have no regrets about this purchase or the2012 car.

Surprisingly great car

I was looking for a budget car and was willing to make compromises on quality and features. I did get the budget price, but was pleasently surprised by the quality inside and out, as well as the features. My other car is an Audi, and this is what my Hyundai Elantra has that my Audi, costing twice as much, does not: Heated front AND rear seats, blind spot warning, rear view camera, tire pressure monitor, Infinity speaker sound system, touch-screen infotainment display, Apple AND Android play...the list goes on. I prefer to drive my Elantra over my Audi now. The only small downside with the Elantra is a somewhat noisy and underpowered engine, but it is more powerful than econocar engines of the past, and also I picked the base engine. A more powerful turbo engine is available as an option. In all, a great car, that competes favorably with a similar a sized Toyota or Volkswagen.
