A lovely upgrade for satisfied Hyundai customer

I was ambivalent about trading in my 2009 Elantra, affectionately called "Purple Rain". We clocked a lot of miles and great vistas and conversations together. That said , I'm grateful the professionals at Fitzgerald Auto encouraged me to consider leasing a new vehicle instead of beginning the process of rebuilding Purple Rain given it had 98,000 miles and needed a new suspension system. My 2017 Elantra is a much smoother and more comfortable drive with all the great design and operating features that make the Elantra such an outstanding vehicle. This is my 4th Hyundai and by far the best!

Most loved car we have owned

Great styling ,great gas mileage and very enjoyable to drive. We have owned many vehicles from sedans ,hatchbacks ,pickups and SUV's in the last 30 years and the Hyundai Elantra has been the best of the bunch.

Good for the Price..Great Milage

Bought Brand new. Great Milage, Reliable vehicle. Good Warranty. Also the Best thing with Price is Feature-Alloy Wheel,Android/Apple Car Play & Backup Camera(with Popular Package). only thing bad for me is seat comfort. i,m 6feet & 180Lbs. off course not fat, but Seat not good for back, after driving one hr straight i feel back pains i had to get pillow for that and its fine after that. overall i,m happy with performance. if someone do not wants to spend crazy money and looking for less maintenance & great milage one then this one to go for it.

2017 Hyundai Elantra

Excellent commuter car. Very comfortable to drive in and pretty spacious for a small car. The features are very helpful and amazing such as reverse rear-view camera, Blind-spot detector, Blue-link, and many more! Highly recommend for commuters to save on gas!

Change of lifestyle

I decided to go to a car and trade in my SUV. Now that I am retired I was looking for comfort and fuel savings. Love the heated seats and steering, good for our weather. Also fits like a glove and car handles so easy. Wasn't sure how I would like the blind-spot or rear view backing gadgets however they make urban driving that much easier with alerts.

Just purchased the 2017 Hyundai. So far, great.

I just purchased the 2017 Hyundai a few days ago, but so far I am very pleased with the car. I have given mostly 5 star reviews for the short term of ownership.

Hyundai Elantra

We purchased the mid-level model. The features are great for the money. Comfort could be a little better; the front seats should be just a tad stiffed on the lower back. The side mirrors reflect back on the glass when the sun is just right and it can be distracting. I've never seen this before, even on our last 2010 Elantra. THe rear glass is virtually unobstructed, don't even look at an Accent unless you do not intend to use your rear view interior mirror, the view is horrible. We went to buy the Accent, ended up with Elantra...bonus was the Elantra has a much better safety rating and is huge inside compared to Accent, but you don't notice that until you get inside the car. Noise level is lower on the mid-level Elantra compared to the base model. We didn't drive the luxury version, the extra few bells and whistles weren't worth the money. The mid level has aluminum rims with no hubcaps, that's nice. The view out the front is very good, no hood view at all. Wind noise is there, but the radio more than makes up for it. It only has front disc brakes, which seems kinda cheap to me. It has three modes, regular, eco, and sporty. Difference between regular and eco I can't notice, but I'm an old guy. The sporty mode is actually pretty good. Plenty leg room in front with no wheel well to get in way and the left foot rest is in the perfect place. The automatic headlights are very, very nice. Windshield wipers are "clean sweep" with zero streaks at all. The truck is a pretty good size and the rear 60-40 split seats makes packing bulky stuff much easier. The ride is smooth; it's not a Cadillac smooth ride, but it isn't a cheap ride. The engine and transmission don't get noisy until you get in sporty mode, but it sounds ok.

Amazing Ride!

I got Elantra Limited Premium Package edition and couldn't be happier! It has a smooth ride, leather seats, and leather wheel cover, all the safety features make me feel secure on the road. It is very comfortable and spacious inside even though it is a standard Elantra size. I would certainly recommend this car.
