Dependable car

This car has most of the options I need daily. It came at a reasonable price and is also affordable to maintain. Though it isn’t as sporty as I would like, it is dependable to get the job done.

solid car and exellent value!

I bought a used 2017 Hyundai Elantra on 2/29/20. It's a top car in its class comparing quite well with its Honda and Toyota counterparts for far less money!

Outstanding

My family has owned over 13 Hyundai's. We have had one at every stage ever since the original box car. There is no other car with the price and quality.

Good value

Good car, bought used and owned for nearly 2 years and 30,000 miles later no problems. Gas mileage good, average high 30's but does drop in the cold weather. Servicing is easy, holes on the slid plate under the engine make changing the oil a breeze. Plenty of room inside including the trunk. Plan on keeping for as long as it lasts.

Questionable Air Bags

I was the driver involved in a head-on crash in March 2019 in this vehicle that I purchased new in March 2017, which was totalled. I was stopped in center lane waiting to make a left turn. Other driver going in opposite direction got in center lane too early for his left turn. There was nothing left of my car in front of the windshield. All of it was hanging from front of other car or loose in street. Police photos confirm this. My car was pushed backwards 100 ft. My air bags did not fully inflate. My sternum was fractured in half vertically. This bone cannot be set & must heal over time on its own. I was forced to lie only on my back. Hospitalized. Extensive painful, deep bruising over body. Needed home health nursing. Over 50K in medical bills. Took months to recover. Other driver underinsured. Police photos from all directions show fully inflated air bags in other car but not in my car. In spite of this, I chose my replacement car to be a 2019 Hyundai Accent, hoping the defective air bags were only in the 2017 Elantra.

Best 1st car for my daughter!

This is the perfect car for my daughter. It has a backup camera and safety needs that I needed, and sleek styling she wanted. We have plenty of leg room and trunk space, it has apple play and siriusxm, and a smooth ride.

Best car ever

This car has definitely met all my needs. I am a nanny so my days consist of driving kids around all over the planet! I also go to school far from my house so having a new car had been a dream and made life so much better!

Valued Packed, Clean Styling, Awesome Mileage!

Firstly, its mileage, avg, 36-44 in Eco Mode, highway & city, tons of leg room, headroom, interior takes it design ques from BMW, front end mirrors Audi, huge trunk, plenty of back leg room. feels spacious. It fits the entry level value zone that Honda used to dominate. Great for families, long trips. I spend my days driving , comfort is key. Recommend this car, to one and all...Problem Free ownership..
