2020 Hyundai ELANTRA consumer reviews

Things I don`t: To narrow side pockets on front door panel. Bad cruise control. Half the time never works right. Also, NOOO indicator light to show if unit is on or off. Only one storage compartment . Defroster is slow in clearing the rear window. No storage nets behind seats.

This car has the safety features I was looking for; back-up camera, brake assistance, blind spot collision warning, lane assist; blue link; rear cross-traffic warning.

This car is one of the best cars I’ve owned , it’s good on gas and it also is very comfortable and not too small and that’s why I love my 2020 Hyundai Elantra.

Met and exceeded all my wants and needs. The car handling is tight, responsive and smooth without hide the road from me. Vehicle quality, craftsmanship and design are outstanding.

It has so many bells and whistles. I can’t wait to learn how to use them all It’s very roomy and comfortable and pretty I cannot believe I was able to get so lucky to get this beautiful car

Car rides great. Dealership double charges for things so I am unhappy with them. Would recommend the Hyundai for a smaller car that drives great.

This car has met all my needs. Plenty of room in it. It rides smooth. Is meeting all my needs. The features are great. It has safety equipment alerts, pull you back in line. I love my color. Automatic locks my door, before pulling off. Radio sounds good. Has widescreen.

This car meets all my needs. It is the right size. All of the accessories I wanted I found in the Hyundai Elantra. Will keep it for a while

Not happy at all. Worst spent 20k – Hyundai Elantra 2020 (Bob Baker Hyundai, Carlsbad CA). New Car Purchase Experience (Jan-2020). The car has multiple flaws that makes its quality and safety lag several years behind its rivals. Much better options out there. I have tested the Japanese models (Corola/Civic) at similar price range and they were so, so, much better. Major car flaws (cons): 1) Lane departure system (LKA) is malfunctioning causing abrupt change is steering wheel stiffness. Almost caused me once to lose control and hit the center-divide. Opened a case with the NHTSA. The best solution is to turn it off with the push button. Took me some time to figure out it was this system causing the abrupt steering wheel behavior. Disable the system by pressing the LKA button on dashboard left to the steering wheel. 2) Windshields are defective with a defect that causes scatter and blurriness when driving and the sun is at low angles such as in morning or before sunset. This is true to front, back and all side windshields. Most disturbing in the front. See images of faulty windshield. 3) Car seat is uncomfortable giving me strong lower back pain after driving for more than 15min. I can drive for hours with my other car and have no issue. Using wedge pillows have helped a little but makes the ride something very unpleasant. 4) Multimedia systems is sprinkled with defects, the most annoying is when you want to move to phone mode the radio is constantly on. Pro: Not too many here. One good thing to note is that the car has good noise isolation and has a solid drive feeling to it even with all the bumps and potholes quite typical to Sun Diego. Final remark: don’t save a grand or be tempted with ‘’end of…’ promotions, check out rival models and then make your decision. I did it the opposite and have much to regret. There are much better options out there. Never think that buying a new car is hustle free or safe. Take your time and examine the car you plan to walk away with carefully. Overall this has been a very sad and frustrating experience. Dealership (cons): 1) Small dealership with limited space and display. When I came to discuss windshield defect after purchase there was no space to park the car and it seemed by luck cars were not damaged by bumping one into another as they were driven by service personnel, due to limited space. 2) New cars are parked on gravel and get dirty and dusty. I would have captured the windshield defect if it was clean. Sales was aware of this issue and was not surprised when I came back. ‘Not the first’ as they commented. They were quick to offer repair. But, replacement – not in this world. Even buyback where I would take the blow in price which I asked for, they would not offer. The manufacture offered minimal compensation so I would not pursue legal action. 3) I ran into a brick wall in trying to get some serious resolution. At least the general manager Jamey Watson was courteous and understanding. I can’t say the same for the rest of my encounters with sales and service. Final advise – consider looking somewhere else in the broad sense of the word especially now that people need to make smart value to money decisions.

I’ve been looking for an Elantra for a little over a year and I finally found the color on I that I wanted s I got the Limited with the Ultimate Package and it’s everything I hoped it would be. The dealership made the process very easy and stress free and I was in and out in 2 hours. I love the safety features, the LED head and tail lights and the overall design turns heads. Hard to believe that I’m driving an Elantra! I would highly recommend this car. I’ve been averaging 28-30 so far but it’s still being broken in so that should go up very soon.
