Elantra Sport FTW

Bought this car instead of a Civic Si. Was. Not. Disappointed. The engine responds smoothly and has more than enough power to get you there. Plus the power makes it sporty and fun. Just enough growl from the exhaust to know this isn?t grandmas elantra !!!

More bangs for the bucks

Bought this as a second car for daily driver to work (as I wanted to avoid putting miles on my Lexus), was skeptical between Prius and Elantra, I am glad I went with Elantra, and I got a very great deal on 5 months old 2018 SEL model. I get overall 40 MPG easily with this, apple carplay is great, exterior looks stylist, great handling and dynamics. Overall very happy for the purchase.

Fun little car that is also fuel efficient

This car is fun to drive in sport mode, while the eco mode delivers respectable fuel efficiency. The price is probably a little high for a base model, but you can't beat the warranty.

My 3rd Elantra

Great reliability is what sent me back for my 3rd Elantra. I now own a 2018, and a 2005 & 2007 which my children drive. Other than basic maintenance and normal wear, I never have had to spend any money on repairs.

Much better than my previous vehicle.

I love this car. It's very comfortable, easy to drive, and looks nice too. It had what I was looking for. The trunk size is great.

Less Than 1,000 Miles and Headed For Dealership

I was headed to my first day of work at a new job when the vehicle began to overheat. During my interview for this job they asked if I had a reliable vehicle. I lied, I said I did. I turned-around and limped home. Once there was enough light I discovered a tiny feeble .05 cent hose clamp had allowed the end of a small coolant hoses to separate from its mate. I can reach the hose, but cannot reconnect them. I now will lose a second day of work waiting around the Dealership for repairs. Hopefully, I will still have a job Tuesday. Purchased vehicle just two weeks ago and have less than 1,000 miles on the odometer. Why use the smallest available clamp for a high-pressure coolant system?

Sport Version Surprise

Love the response, handling and overall confort and feel of the 2018 Hyundai Elantra Sport. Exceptional car with top features such as Blind Spot Detection System (BSD), Traction Control Assist, Leather Sport trimmed seats and steering wheel and excellent sound system.
