  • My 1989 Honda drives better than my 2015 Elantra

    On this car we’ve had to replace catalytic converter, fuel injector system, and it STILL is not running above 40 miles an hour. We think it’s the new catalytic converter somehow. Communicating with the company has been arduous and almost fruitless. I’m driving a 1989 Honda Civic and it runs better than my 5 year old Elantra. I would give up on this car if I didn’t still have to make monthly payments on it. If I have to pay for the thing it darn well better be working!!!!!! We have opened a claim with corporate....and I am at my wits end.

  • I bought this Elantra because I loved my first one

    My first Elantra was a 2008 and was a great car. I traded it at 197,000 miles for the 2015. I am very satisfied with both cars.

  • Trouble free enjoyment

    Good on smooth roads, wheel hop on rough roads. Suspension needs design work. All 4 tires developed eggs and had to be replaced. GPS sucks on this year model. So how did I rate this as enjoyable. Well tires not made by Hyundai, Use my own GPS and live with occasional wheel hop

  • Owner of Elantra

    I've only owned the Elantra GLS for a few weeks but performance has been tremendous. Great on gas. Smooth ride and great manoeuvrability on the road. Handles well in winter conditions. Dashboard is assessable. Very impressed!
