I recently bought a new Forester from Subaru of Wichita and was very impressed with every step of the purchase process. However, today their service department went above and beyond! Recently I had a flat tire and had to put the spare put on to get to the dealership. They very quickly repaired the tire, took off the spare and put it back and I was on my way. Once again, I was very impressed! However, in the days following the repair I developed a rattle in the back of the car. I took everything out and attempted to find the rattle with no luck. It kept getting worse so I called the dealership and they said to stop by and they would check it out. I did so today, and they spent 45 minutes trying to find the rattle with no luck. So, the chief mechanic was called to take the car for a drive and see if he could determine the problem. Sure enough, he did! Unbelievably, the rattle was from my husband not putting my new license plate holder on firmly!!! After all the time they had spent on the car they would not take a penny. Just said thanks for coming in and come back soon. WHAT A DEALERSHIP! QUALITY PEOPLE. QUALITY CARS!!

Very reliable car!

To put it simply, my Mother calls my Elantra, the "Spaceship".
And she's one used to driving Chevy Impalas, with more bells and whistles than one could imagine!
My Hyundai is automatic everything.
I love the shift manual option. (I prefer manual transmissions)
So this was quite a nice suprise when I found out what it was.
LOL! Something I didn't know about, and wasn't shown when I test drove and purchased the car. I don't think the salesman knew about this transmission shifting inclusion.
It's very Stylish, safe, dependable and a wonderful deal for my $.
My only complaint is the seats stain very easily.
Everything else is wonderful!
Everyone I worked with made the buying process easy and enjoyable. They explained everything to the "T". I wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again.

Love this car

I did a lot of research into compact cars before test driving several models from Honda, Toyota and Ford. Then I tried the Elantra. Fully loaded....heated seats front and back, Bose sound system, leather throughout, sunroof. Incredible value for the money, far better value than the comparable Toyota and Honda.
It's a fun little car to drive and comfortable on long hauls. I have a lot of arthritis and sitting in a car seat for hours gets excruciating. Decided to drive the Elantra from SW Washington where I live to California. Elantra got 44 mpg doing 75-80mph nearly the entire way, was comfortable for all 3 of us (myself, wife and 8 year old. Sound system is amazing and onboard Bluetooth works fine. Nav system and some other minor apps on the console could be a bit better but much better than Honda especially. Ergonomics of the cockpit are great and make sense. Overall just a fun easy car to drive. Sport mode is fun, but fuel consumption goes way up and the Elantra's suspension isn't really meant for throwing it into corners....a tad of understeer.
My experience with auto mall tops every other experience I’ve had with prior car lots. The guys that work there professional, friendly, and personable people.

xxxxty paint, subpar customer service.
by barefootblonde from Norman, Oklahoma

I purchased a 2017 Elantra towards the end of 2016 brand new. I had to have the paint on the front of the car around the hood repaired under warranty due to it randomly peeling about a year ago while it was barely under the cap for mileage on the warranty. I’m active duty military so I’ve put a lot of mileage on my car pcsing and visiting family so my car is no longer under warranty and the paint has been chipping in various areas of the car since the last repair. I searched the web and found that several other customers have also been having this problem with the pearl white paint on this year/make/model so I feel like it’s pretty safe to say the paint was faulty and Hyundai should be liable to fix this considering I payed full price for a below average/faulty product. I called Hyundai to inquiry to see if I missed a recall since it’s been such a prevelant issue for customers, I was informed that there wasn’t and customer service told me to contact the dealership I had the paint repaired at while under warranty even though it was in a different location to see if they would repair it. I called the dealership and they offered to take pictures and submit them to Hyundai to see if they could help since it wasn’t the same location they had repaired but I’m deploying in a week and they said there likely wouldn’t be a solution by then which is understandable but no one has even been able to give me a straight answer other than contact numbers to pay for a paint job out of pocket from a body shop. I’ve been transferred 5 or 6 times contacting three different locations to see if someone could help me but alas, nothing. It’s definitely not worth paying for a brand new car only for it to start peeling and looking trashy less than two years later due to low quality paint. If they would have done a recall and provided a solution to their customers complaints I would have rated it much higher because everything else about the car has been wonderful.
We looked and looked for the specific vehicle we wanted, and finally found it at Advantedge Quality Cars in Wichita. We inquired about the vehicle, it was brought to the showroom door, and we took it for a drive. It was exactly what we wanted. As we returned to the dealership, I started to tense up thinking about all the hoops we would be led through: The hassle regarding trade-in value, dealing with a pushy salesman and sales manager, all the paperwork, etc. OH MY GOODNESS! Salesman: "This is what your trade-in is worth." Me: "Not enough." Salesman: "What would you need to get for your vehicle?" I told him. He left, and came back within the minute: "OK - we will give you that amount." We asked for gas - we got gas. We asked for a second key to be made at their expense (fob within the key - expensive!). No problem. EVERYONE was friendly, cooperative, no pushing WHATSOEVER! I had looked at a vehicle about a year prior (didn't buy due to personal preferences), and that, too, was a very positive experience. I cannot say enough good things about this dealership! I am bad at remembering names - but the salesman (Gabe, I think?) behaved as if he was there only to meet our wants/needs, (without the typical fake salesman kissing up).. I brought the title to our trade-in, thinking we were set if we decided to buy. In my mind: "Wife has her purse - we're prepared." No - I had just assumed she would have a checkbook. The finance dept. allowed us to use two credit cards, amounting to thousands of dollars, and didn't charge us a penny in fees! Go . . . look . . . and if you fall in love with a vehicle, know that you will love everything about the purchasing experience to follow! (No, I'm not being paid to submit this review - I just have NEVER felt grateful that someone sold me a car! This time, I kinda' do!)

Best car I've ever driven

The car is smooth, powerful, the perfect size, and easy to maintain. I feel like it is an amazing deal for just those reasons let alone the sound quality and other perks.
I recently stopped by Ray Price Honda to see the brand new Hondas. I have been a Honda car owner for the past 20 years. My last 2 Hondas were purchased at Ray Price. I have most recently been driving a 2014 CRV. I'VE been very happy with my purchase but with 65,000 miles on my CRV I decided that it was time to look at the new and improved 2017 CRV. I purchased my 2014 from Ian Jensen, a salesman, at the dealership . I was very happy with my experience with Ian on this purchase so I decided to see what he could do for me this time around. I have the 2014 to trade and I wanted to get my new 2017 at a price that was within my budget. We talked about my trade and the model of my new purchase to get to a place where it fit my budget. Ian was very helpful and after some adjustments we arrived at a price that was fair. He was hands-on with getting a good finance rate to make the deal doable. When the deal was done with ,he prepped the new vehicle and had it ready to drive home. My Thanks to Ian Jensen for all your help and support throughout this process.

I love the mileage, the look, the comfort and the design of the car. The few complaints I have are about design of the car, in specific areas:
The windshield wipers divert the water straight into the window. It comes into the window...runs straight down the speakers and onto the control panels for the windows and doors. Yes I can put rain guards, but there should be some sort of trough in the design to keep the water from going straight down.
If there is snow on the trunk lid and you open the trunk, it dumps straight down inside the trunk! There should (once again) be a trough of some type to keep this from happening.
Lastly, don't ever buy a black Hyundai....keeping them clean and keeping the swirls and smudges off is impossible. Usually I can wax my car and it keeps the little things from sticking so bad, but not on this car. My 1996 Jimmy does better with the paint and the wax and preventing sticking. This Hyundai is ridiculous to keep clean. I should have never bought black...I should have bought RED!
Robert Nelson went above and beyond to find me my Volvo S60. The deal not only included a very handsome trade in price for my car, a very generous discount on a 2017 S 60, and a confident feeling knowing that he had my best interests at heart. I tried shopping at a few other dealers, but they couldn't compare to The Ray Price dealership's team. Thanks again Robert Nelson

Pinch me! Can’t believe I drive this much car for what I paid! 18 Value Edition, nearly fully loaded; Sunroof, blind spot, Apple Car Play and push button start. Auto climate control and heated seats are amazing in winter. Don’t even want to get out of the car. Air super cool in the summer. Transmission shifts like butter. Engine at idle so quiet, I have gotten out without pushing the button thinking the car was off already. Only car I’ve ever owned without a single squeak or rattle at this point of ownership. All the power you need on sport mode. Getting avg 38-40 mpg daily on work commute. Back up camera with dynamic guidelines and monitor THE best of any car rental I’ve ever driven. Wow!
Everyone I worked with made the buying process easy and enjoyable. They explained everything to the "T". I wouldn't hesitate to do business with them again.
2018 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition Review
Solid, Reliable, Stylish ... and Fun to Drive
by Autodriver from Milwaukee, WI

This car replaces a 2011 Elantra.
It handles well, has a good blend of features. I especially like the “Infotainment” features which combine well with my iPhone. Whether it’s listening to music, answering a call handsfree,..., using a map to find my way. Just a good diversity of uses without getting too complicated ...
I like that ... 😊
The quality of the interior appointments (especially the driver and passenger seat adjustments) really surprised me for a car in this price range. “Like sitting in a cockpit” in the words of my brother in law after he drove the car...
I agree.
Al the controls are logical and well laid out. I have room for my cross country skis folding down the rear seats...
Very, VERY HAPPY with the mileage I get, especially on the highway - a “stingy” 38 MPG ... ...!
Practical, fun to drive without going over the top. What more can I say??...
Has 6 speed automatic, quick & smooth. Not odd feel groping CVT like competing models. Gets higher MPG than ratings. Multi Media 7" screen has endless capabilities as does center LCD cluster. Longer warranty. Very smooth ride. Great fit & finish. Endless standard equipment. Made in Korea.
This car is a low fuel car, silent, very good performance, very good style, high ergonomic, high quality, powerful engine, good facilities, new design (in my idea, better than 2019 design) and ...
My Elantra has exceeded my expectations. The car is really comfortable and after learning the technology I love the car even more. I do recommend this car highly.
Rented Elantra and Corolla just before buying. Loved the Elantra, couldn’t wait to return the Corolla. Made my Decision on 2018 Elantra Value Edition. Love it after 11,000 miles! Looks beautiful inside and out plus comfortable. Yes it’s a compact car, but feels midsize. Engine is adequate and not lacking on sport mode if you want extra power!! Does not feel economy. Features are abundant and I’m spoiled! Cannot own another car without all my Elantra’s features: Push button Start, Apple Car Play, Sunroof, Auto Climate control, Heated Seats, Blind Spot Monitoring, Rear Camera with Dynamic guidelines and Cross Traffic Alert! So sweet when the car lowers the fan and turns down the stereo when giving you a navigation command so you can hear and then goes back to how it was! How it tells you if you start the car and your steering wheel is turned and not positioned correctly, how it warned me when a tire started going flat when I ran over a nail and I was able to pull over to safety and call for Hyundai service!! I had no clue that anything was wrong with the tire. A lot of car for the money!! Great gas mileage. Average 36/38 and 40 all highway on trips.
My husband and I were just starting the buying process (trying to decide on a model, test drive a few, etc....) After looking at several we decided to focus on the Hyundai Santa Fe. We went to a few large dealerships in Wichita. Let's just say the customer service left A LOT to be desired! Pushy, distracted, not knowledgeable of their own stock- just to name a few things we dealt with.
We decided to search Cars.com for any Santa Fe's in the Wichita, KS area and happened to find one that intrigued us at Elite Auto Sales. We drove by to take a look. Pulled in and wasn't immediately swarmed on! We were able to look around before Zeb approached us. Very laid back but knowledgeable. Quick to help. Sent us on a test drive without breathing down our necks! Allowed us to have the car for an extended amount of time to get it checked out by our own mechanic. We fell in love with this Hyundai Santa Fe! It was priced very competitively and was very clean! Elite gave us a fair deal on our trade in. Basically made us a deal we couldn't refuse!
The financing with Eddy at Elite was very smooth and efficient! It was a smooth, process and we were finished much more quickly than expected!
Will definitely recommend Elite Auto Sales to friends and family!

Great car for great price

THis is a great looking and handling car that holds it's value and lasts forever. I've owned 3 Hyundai models now and all of them have been my favorite car. I've had the Entourage (Mini-Van) Sonata (Mid-Size Sedan) and the Elantra (4 door compact) All have gone well beyond 180K miles except the Elantra that I just bought but that I firmly believe will do the same. The best part is that if you buy it used and there is one owner part of the factory warranty still applies.
I bought this car after my previous car got totaled in an accident that was another drivers fault. My previous car (2018 Corolla) had basic safety features including pre-collision detection and lane departure control but what my old car didn’t have that this one comes standard with is blindside detection which is super helpful. I got the 2019 Elantra Value Edition which comes with push start and a sunroof which I instantly fell in love with. I love the keyless entry as well you can unlock your door with one click of a button as long as your key is close by. It also comes standard with Apple Carplay which is handy because it displays helpful apps from your phone on the screen such xxx maps, messages (siri reads your texts to you and you verbally reply to send a message), phone, and whatever music app you use (apple music, spotify, etc.) If you have an android they have the same system with Android Carplay. I will never get old of this car.
