So many recalls and expensive repairs

This car has been a money pit. I have received at least one letter a year notifying me about yet another recall on this model. I have had to replace an exhausting amount of car parts and spend way more money than this car is worth.

2023 Hyundai Elantra review: Our expert's take

What Is the 2023 Hyundai Elantra?

The Hyundai Elantra is a value-conscious compact sedan available with a choice of three engines. A 147-horsepower, 2.0-liter four-cylinder is standard, coupled with a continuously variable automatic transmission. The Elantra Hybrid is motivated by a gas-electric hybrid drivetrain rated at 139 hp and employs a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The performance-themed N Line has a 201-hp, turbo 1.6-liter four-cylinder that’s coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic, and for high-performance enthusiasts, the racy Elantra N gets a 276-hp, turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder (with a choice of six-speed manual or eight-speed dual-clutch automatic transmissions) and a track-tuned chassis.

The Elantra offers 19 cubic feet of cargo space, according to Cars.com’s cargo measurements. You can see how it scored in our Car Seat Check here. Direct rivals include the Honda Civic, Kia Forte and Toyota Corolla.

What’s New on the 2023 Hyundai Elantra?

For 2023, the Elantra’s SEL Convenience Package adds 17-inch alloy wheels and a 10.3-inch digital gauge display, and — performance fans take note — the N Line is no longer offered with a manual transmission; that’s only available with the top-trim N variant.

What Features in the 2023 Hyundai Elantra Are Most Important?

Standard features include:

  • 8-inch touchscreen multimedia system
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity
  • Cruise control
  • Two USB ports
  • Keyless entry
  • Automatic emergency braking
  • Blind spot warning with rear cross-traffic alert
  • Lane departure steering assist
  • Automatic high-beam headlights

Available features include:

  • LED headlights and taillights
  • Power moonroof
  • Leather-trimmed seats
  • Heated and ventilated front seats
  • 10.25-inch touchscreen
  • Navigation
  • Wireless device charging
  • Dual-zone automatic climate control
  • Digital instrument panel
  • Adaptive cruise control with stop-and-go capability

Should I Buy the 2023 Hyundai Elantra?

The Elantra is a solid value with an eye-catching exterior you wouldn’t expect in a budget-minded compact sedan. Ride quality is good, and the Elantra’s handling makes it nimble in city traffic. The standard 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine delivers decent pep and refinement. If limiting your use of fuel is a priority, know that the Elantra Hybrid delivers an EPA-estimated 54 mpg in combined city and highway driving. What’s not to like? There are some noticeable penny-pinching materials in the Elantra’s cabin, plus some powertrain lag from the turbo engine in the sportier N Line trim.
