Absolutely Love It!

Are used to own a 2014 Hyundai ELANTRA, the smaller one. I had bought it used and at 43,000 miles the engine went out. So yes I was very leery of getting another Hyundai ELANTRA. But after doing much research, using the Carfax, and test driving it; I am thoroughly happy to say I am glad I chose the roomie 2017 Hyundai ELANTRA. It is a great vehicle, excellent gas mileage, And still gets mistaken for the bigger Sonata.

Nice, economical car with spunk

This car is great on gas giving me the opportunity to visit my grandkids out of town more while looking great. I hope to pay this one off soon and upgrading to the limited edition. I like gadgets 😁😁

Worst car ever

This car has been repaired more than any other I've ever owned. Thermostat replacements, computer updating, replacing spark plugs, coils and other things just to get it to not misfire on two of four cylinders. I should be on Hyundai's payroll for the amount of time I've spent at the dealership getting my Elantra Limited repaired!

Reliable Car

Meets all of my needs. Use it for storm chasing and long road trips. Have already put 103,000 miles on it and have only had to do the usual maintenance. Comfortable and reliable.

A great value with sporty performance

I have owned a 2017 Elantra since late 2017. The performance is amazing for a modest engine. Gas mileage has averaged 32 mpg around town and 36-37 on the highway. The interior is small, but comfortable. I love all the bells and whistles (back-up camera, eco and sport settings, lane warning, sunroof/moonroof, etc. Very happy with this car.

An average car looks very nice for the price

The car could have more power it seemed like the RPMs and the engine just races high in the car do not want to go anywhere that could be a little bit dangerous when passing Lanes

Drives great

Its a great starter car. Road noise in the cabin is very noticeable. Other than that it's perfect. Has plenty of leg room and USB ports.
