True Comfort from Point A to B

My Hyundai Elantra really does surpass all my vehicular needs. As someone who really just needs to get from point A to point B, the Elantra makes sure I get there in true comfort. As a working student, I sure was not looking for anything over the top, just something safe that will last me for a while. Purchasing the base model for under $20k was a pleasant surprise; being accompanied with features such as a reverse camera, lane assist, heated steering wheel/seats, etc. The warranty that Hyundai offers is another bonus, but that really depends on where you purchase your ride. I also test drove the Mazda3 and the Honda Civic. With the Mazda3, you do get a real good 'on the road' feeling, which would be great if I did long drives. With the civic, it's a great overall ride, but would have costed me more to insure. Overall, the Hyundai Elantra is a great balance of style, comfort, and value.

Excellent value!

The 2018 Elantra Value Edition has an amazing amount of luxury features for such a small price. It is the best value out there right now!

My third Elantra for a reason.

Having owned a 2007 and 2010 Elantra, this car is a huge step forward in refinement, technology, and performance. The interior is not the most plush, but fit and finish are good for the segment. Just don't expect a lot of soft touch surfaces. The seats are a bit narrow with aggressive bolsters, but are comfortable in spite of it. The the ride is much sportier( aka harsh) and the car is much more fun to drive. Knowing what I do about this trim level, I would love to try one of the new Elantra Sport models with the 1.6 turbo. I have the base SE model with the 2.0 and 6 speed shiftable automatic. The drivetrain is very smooth and efficient( averaging nearly 38 mpg in mixed driving). This is a very good compact car at a very nice price. A smart and patient consumer can find excellent Hyundai promotions throughout the year, I received about $5000 in rebates/incentives.

ELANTRA LIMITED model makes a YUGE difference!!!

This is my 3rd HYUNDAI family car. I have recommended it to 4 other co-workers and family members of which 3 have already purchased!!! I have previously owned Fords, Caddys and Mazda. They ALL have lost a customer forever, mainly due to poor customer service, not to mention recalls and UNRELIABILITY!! If you test drive the Elantra LIMITED, you will BUY IT, GUARANTEED!!

Best brand

This car has everything I need plus many more to explore and enjoy. The fit and finish are what I expect from this brand, a cut above the rest.

Most Reliable Car I've Owned

This car is amazing, there's enough room for me and my kids who are still in car seats. I love the blue tooth and the hands free calling.
