Hyundai Elantra

"struggles mightily on the slightest incline"

"The ride is much too soft for a small car. I keep the tires inflated to the maximum allowed by the tire manufacturer to partially compensate."

"O2 sensor issues"

"handling and acceleration 10 years and 200K miles is still strong and smooth"

"No guts- acceleration has never been that good with this car, and hills have always been hard on it. I rent a car to go on any trips that involve long distances or going over the grapevine (I5 North) these days- I doubt I could drive the car over the grapevine without overheating or worse. The problem is of course increasing as the car gets older."

"Comfortable front seats and quiet ride even at higher speeds for a car that old."

"Passenger side front seat is very uncomfortable on drives over an hour."

"Driver's seat is comfortable and has many adjustments. Engine and road noise levels are surprisingly low for a small car."

"The seats are comfortable enough for driving, but seem a bit firm. The adjustment is limited. Noise in the cabin is not really loud, but is definitely there."

"Very comfortable manually adjusted seats for long trips and a smooth ride for a small car"

"I find that the seats are too low and present a problem for both my wife and myself to enter or leave the vehicle. I have a bad lower back problem and my wife suffers from arthritis."

"Outside noise is a problem when listening to the radio."

"The only problem with the Elantra is as we have gotten older the low rider is a little harder to get out of...but still a good car...its a little noisier than the more expensive cars but good for the price"

"Horrible uncomfortable seats, causes by lower back to hurt."

"Wanted a "beater" that looked good, ran okay and was cheap."

"Best value at the time."

"good as honda for LESS money.. in my view"

"it has been a complete joy to own. Except for oil, tires and brakes it has never needed anything other than general maintenance."

"I bought this car partially on the basis of CR reviews. It has been a wonderful car. I paid it off seven years ago, had an evaluation of it done last year, and I expect it to keep on moving for several more years. Probably the wisest purchase I've ever made in my life."

"Its a older car but still looks stylish..."

"For a hatchback that's over 10 years old it's still a very good looking vehicle."

"My Elantra GT hatchback almost always is mistaken for a Saab. After 11 years and almost 140k miles this car is still going strong and a pleasure to drive"
