Great car

This is my 2nd Elantra. Giving up my first one was something I didn?t want to do so I bought another. Love the features- Bluetooth, lane departure, navigation. Too many things to list. Very happy

My first Hyundai

This car is amazing. It drives effortlessly. And it definitely has the look. I drove the Elantra sedan first and there was no comparison it was like night and day. The GT is definitely worth the extra money. The only complaint I have is the car does have some orange peel in the paint. I'm so do all other cars in that price range.

I've owned many cars and this is the best 4$

First the quality of the car is fantastic. Close doors, nice thunk, paint is very good. The interior design and quality is a class higher than this price point. I paid $17k for a gt base auto with mats and mudgaurds. Second the technology is top of class. Android auto, Sirius xm, apple CarPlay, HDradio, bluetooth all very easy to setup and navigate. BIG rear view camera with active guidelines. Android Auto turns it into an 8" google maps navigation. Nice sounding audio system even in base. Paired my phone in 10 seconds. Third, economy. I've driven 1100 miles and am averaging 33mpg mixed. Fourth, handling is awesome, sport mode changes the entire feel of the car, drives like a 9/10ths GTi. And fifth, I really like the look of this car. Understated, a look and feel of quality that you'd expect in a car costing much more. I'm very impressed with this Hyundai Elantra GT and very happy with my purchase.

Pretty Fancy.

This is the first new car I have ever owned, while i anticipate enjoying the comfort of the heated steering wheel this winter, the Andriod Auto in it could use some work, half the time when I plug my phone in it doesnt work and I just downloaded the app a couple weeks ago. other than that I am very pleased with the car it's self. as i previously owned a base model 2008 Accent the size is much better and it has quite the bit of pep to it when on the highway. Very comfortable.

Very reliable, efficient and comfortable car

After driving several cars the Hyundai Elantra was by far the best value for my money. It is solidly built, quiet, and smooth. The ride is smooth and it handles like a solid sedan. It's just the right size, has very comfortable seats and is loaded with technology!

Symmetrical Qualitative Value

The best warranty on the market. The lowest price on the market. The Hyundai brand has proven it?s right to own a large part of the market.

Best kept secret value!

This car is practical yet sporty enough to have fun. It is a hatch back with a decent amount of storage space. However this chassis and the power plant is on par with other sport cars that I have driven. Very comparable to a VW GTI in my opinion. The 2018 has also been upgraded quite a bit from the 2017 which i was also looking at. I did not get the Turbo 1.6L, but the 2.0 has plenty of power to get you in trouble with the law. The sound system is pretty good. Not on par with the Kia Soul, but good enough for the package. The cabin is very quiet. Apple play is the icing on the cake.
