No matter how tall you are, you'll love this!

I bought mine a month ago and I LOVE it. It has wonderful gas millage (40-42 mpg highway) Drives smooth and is comfortable. I am 6 foot tall and have trouble in other cars, but this one I have plenty of room and my head is not hitting the top and it doesn't feel like I'm sitting on the ground. Visibility is great, I can see around with little blind spots. I think it is a very driver friendly car. Especially if you are on the highway a lot, like I am for work.

Don't Purchase

We purchased this car used with 82k miles for daughter to use for college based on a lot of good reviews. Well we should have researched more because it broke down on the road 400 miles from home. These engines are crap and Hyundai knows but they don't want to take responsibility. They say it's not included in the engine replacement program but it's the same issues as the engine replacement program. WTH DON'T PURCHASE THESE VEHICLES.

My 2018 Hyundai Elantra

I bought my 2018 as a lease I just recently purchased to buy out the lease I have 34,000 miles on it and this car has been just wonderful. I average around 31 mi in the city and have been as high as 39.5 on the highway. The only thing I do is change the oil at every 5,000 miles rotate my tires at every 10,000 MI and I have bought a brand new set of michelins which the ride is so smooth. I have not had any major items go wrong on it it has been a great car for me the value is well worth it and I highly recommend it they are very dependable.

Hyundai Elantra

This is a good little car. I like everything about it. But here recently the engine will just turn itself off for no reason. Hopefully this is a fixable issue. Otherwise I will be trading it in very soon.

Good value for the money

Purchased Elantra at 2 years old w 27k miles, still under original factory warranty and powertrain to 100k. Not bad. Experienced 30k miles to date, no issues, no service needed, just keep changing oi. On long trips averages 43-46 MPG at 65-70MPH. Almost as good as hybrid. Reasonably comfortable, quiet engine and smooth in town or long trips.

It’s a nice car

The car is fine I had a 2013 Elantra with the 1.8l so the 2.0l isn’t that much better but my girlfriend and I like the car it is a way bigger step than our 2013 I love that it has more safety features Blindspot monitoring rear cross traffic warning touchscreen Apple CarPlay and this car really has ice cold air conditioning like better than my old car the car right now only has 28,000 miles and our 18 Elantra is a really Nice car compared to the older one that one had 167,000 and was still Kickin even with the 1.8 L piston slap although I have noticed a little rattling from the 2.0 L not sure what it is but I will tell you this at least it does not tick like our old one did and even if this one starts showing problems that’s fine Hyundai will be fixing this for free period gotta love warranties
