Smooth ride

This car was exactly what I was looking for, The price was right and it will save me on the cost of gas. The car is very comfortable and I am enjoying all the features.

Cool car, but not was a bit too small.

This car was really reliable, got me to California and back mutiple times, this car is a gas saver! Very low, had different drive settings, had a spare tires and came with it own personal Jack.

Happy so far

This is my second Elantra and I think it’s a great car. It looks good and the comfort and safety and warranty can’t be beat.

Best bang for your buck

I've owned 23+ cars in my life and by far this is the most wonderful 2.0liter, 4 cylinder car I've ever owned. It is super reliable, has Apple Play and Android Auto and can beat any Civic or Corolla in overall cost, reliability, std. features and overall design. (did I also mention I'm an industrial designer and used to design Honda's for a living?)

Satisfied with Vehicle. Priced well and performs

I purchased the vehicle to have something newer and more reliable than my VW I had previously. I wanted the Sonata but had to stay within my budget. Since I had to keep my costs low I expected to be less impressed with Elantra instead of Sonata but have been pleasantly surprised so far.

Powerful small car

Car was good on gas and millage. Full tank took me from nc to dc. Synced with my phone automatically and a breeze on the highway.

Very Relaible Car

This car meets all my needs from the back up camera feature, the interior design, the safety features, comfortable leg room, and plenty of trunk space.

I love this car

lots of power and the 6 speed transmission with the auto/manual shifting is great.I live in the mountains.Only problem with it being a compact is the ride can be rough on patched or bumpy roads

Fantastic value for money

This car is fantastic for what it is. If you're looking for something luxurious and sporty there are better options out there. I bought this car to commute to and from work and my main priorities were fuel economy, comfort, and interior features. I have owned the Value Edition trim level for 8,000 miles (bought brand new) which gives you the heated front seats, sunroof, blind-spot monitoring, backup camera, and better alloy wheels. The Apple Car Play allows me to play a Spotify playlist during my commute right from my phone. The interior design isn't anything special but it is well laid out and everything is where you would expect it to be. I have also done an 800 mile trip for work with this car and on the highway it is comfortable. The seats are fairly comfortable considering this is a sub $20,000 car. Fuel economy is fantastic. On the highway, I average low 40's and have gotten up to 50 with the car in cruise control and having the A/C off. Road noise is noticeable but not terrible. Exterior styling for the 2018 year is fantastic in my opinion. I've had multiple people ask me how much I paid for my car thinking it was a BMW or Audi. If you're looking for a smaller car with fantastic features for the price, great reliability (and a great warranty for when something goes wrong) and great fuel economy, this car is at the top. I still can't believe that I only paid $20,000 for this car brand new. Very happy with my purchase and will probably be a Hyundai customer for life.
