Hyundai Elantra

"Having driven the car long distances through many states, the comfort of seating was very good and the steering and cruise control we're always excellent."

"It’s not a sports car, but acceleration is more than adequate for merging onto highways, and handling is pretty good on winding roads."

"I love this car. Acceleration is a couple of seconds slow on the start/take-up."

"Too much hesitation when attempting to accelerate quickly."

"No power and the transmission sometimes shifts funny and very hard and jerky."

"Good accelertion and handling for 4 cylinders. It handles a bit rough but we got the sports package."

"Drives and handles great. Accelerates great."

"Rather peppy acceleration, and gery good handling."

"Acceleration is satisfactory for the size engine and handles easily."

"handles well. Passes with ease, has never faltered."

"Acceleration and handling are fine, but both disappointing compared to my previous car 1983 Camry I drove for 26 years. Also especially notable (perhaps most 'modern' cars), very poor visibility due to air bag containing very wide pillars, especially front, and high rear deck."

"goes fine no problems not a race car but all the zip you need"

"I like the short wheel base."

"Steers well, but does not slow down well when foot removed from gas pedal."

"Issues with it chronically pulling to the right."

"Good for local travel, but lacks a highway (5th?) gear."

"The turning radius is small. I can make a U-turn on most city streets without backing up."

"Very normal driving, slower than average acceleration, but it's an economy car. Pretty much as expected."

"Fun to drive, handles well in all situations, great handling and great gas mileage!!"

"Accelerates well and brakes well for city driving."

"The automatic transmission is jerky and lurching when shifting at low speeds. I assume that this is a fatal flaw that will eventually cost a great deal of money. Since the vehicle has a 100K warranty on the drive train, it will be trade near the 100K mileage point."

"More road noise than I expected"

"Somewhat underpowered. Shifting is uneven."

"The handling response is quick and precise. Acceleration is quite good."

"slow acceleration, poor gas mileage, noisy ride"

"poor fuel economy for size, very poor turning radius, high interior noise"

"The transmission has continually sputtered/hesitated on accelerating from a stop. The dealer has not wanted to address the issue."

"The acceleration is acceptable but certainly not exceptional, but the maneuverability and short turn radius of the car makes it easy to park and get around in city traffic."

"Very reliable with a proper acceleration and handling. It has enough of kick to pass by other drivers."

"Acceleration is slow"

"braking and handling is superior for its class."

"Transmission slips if quickly accelerating. Slow acceleration. Felt like I slammed into a railroad tie while on the interstate due to a malfunctioning solenoid in transmission (instantly went from 70 mph to 30 mph and 4000 rpm). Think I now have bad CV joints as a result."

"prive"

"A little sluggish, uncertain gear shifts in automatic."

"Decent handling and accelleration, it has the power to climb steep mountain high way grades. Not a performance vehicle, but it doesn't pretend to be."

"It runs smooth for a woman who does not accelerate frequently"

"The transmission on this car is electronic. I have never had a vehicle with this type of transmission and will not purchase another vehicle with this type. It has a hard time accelerating."

"The Elantra is an eco sensitive model. This means that it is a bit underpowered. It rides a little rough as well. It handles well"

"Compared to previous cars it's normal. It gives me what I need when I need it, hills, cornering, braking and accelerating although it needs to "torque up" in some instances."

"It is a bit noisy and bumpy."

"Great acceleration (gears) in town, and handles good in tight parking spaces."

"the ride has always been bumpy"

"Rough ride"

"seats are comfortable, but the road noise is awful"

"Very firm ride. Lots of wind/road noise on highway."

"I use a fleece to sit on - seats are hard. It's noisier than I'd prefer."

"Seats comfortable; feel road and track bumps; noise level average"

"The seating is stiff would like more comfort in seats."

"Very hard ride due to stiff suspension and 17 inch wheels. It's an Elantra Touring. Seats are fine."

"rides great. No outside noise. Seats very comfortable in both the front and back."

"We purchased this car for long road trips. It was extremely comfortable for a smaller vehicle and it was quiet and smooth."

"I find my Elantra very comfortable for a relatively inexpensive car."

"Seat belt jams into my hip"

"The car is noisy and has some plastic parts that rattle in the cabin."

"My wife finds the seats less comfortable than her 2013 sedan"

"Great a.c.!"

"This is a very nice small car to drive in and around town. On a long road trip, it doesn't offer the ride or support that it should. Also there is a noted addition of road noise."

"the roof is so low, that after riding in my SUV, I feel like Mr Incredible in His sub compact and I am only 5ft 9in tall. Air conditioning is under powerd for 120 degree days. This is a decent car- perfectly suited to send off with a child to college, but definitely small."

"It has lots of wind noise"

"This vehicle drives the same as day 1"

"inadequate air conditioning"

"I wish I had selected a larger car."

"Styling not very appealing but purchased because of end of year rebate and additional haggling with dealer. Seats and top of center console material wearing and showing dirt."

"At 200K the A/C started to fail. Have added coolant, but it hasn't fixed it. Looks like it will continue to be a hot summer..."

"seats not good for long trips. Lots of road noise."

"Very stiff and rough ride."

"Comfort, ride and climate control are fine. Road noise is very pronounced on all except very smooth roads/highways."

"Over all, very satisfied, but it is a small lower end car and is a bit noisy. After a long trip, there is discomfort and fatigue."

"road noise is loud. Ride is not smooth."

"Great value for the money - a good around town car altho mileage suffers in the city. We've taken trips of 1000+ miles with it and the mileage on the highway is very good. We did have the transmission replaced under warranty but otherwise have had no problems with the car."

"Purchased it in 2010 have not had a major or even minor repair. Just Brakes and Windshield wipers."

"Inexpensive and reliable"

"The handling of the driving is very good and I get great gas mileage on both Street and Highway driving. The car is very comfortable to be in especially for long distance driving and I've had very little mechanical problems with the car."

"Great bang for the buck."

"It is well priced, and has been very reliable. It is a small 4 cylinder car so ride is a bit rough but it was worth the price."

"In the 8 years I’ve owned it my Hyundai has never had a SINGLE problem in any area of the vehicle whatsoever. It is also still on the original brake pads after 135,000 miles."

"We bought it new, got what we expected, and the price seemed fair, with no pressure or haggling."

"Value for money spent is very good. Reliability is excellent."

"Inexpensive basic transportation, slightly underpowered"

"I only paid 16,000 for it new in 2010. I have not had any issues other than needed new tires."

"The initial cost of our Hyundai Elantra was surprisingly low. The cost of maintenance has been very low. We have had very low repair costs. Our car is reliable, comfortable, gets good gas mileage. We are extremely pleased with our purchase."

"Trouble-free at a very reasonable cost"

"very reliable"

"I have been very happy with this car. I have been thinking of trading it, but will probably keep it until it sows signs of agimg, then get a Hyundau Elamtra GT."

"I had researched the lowest price I thought a dealer would accept and then called a dealership and told them what "out the door" price I was willing to pay. It worked great."

"Price, reliability is good"

"The price was reasonable and has not needed any repairs other than standard servicing in 48,000 miles."

"Bought new. At the time I assessed as best value; a lot of features for the money and good economy and reliability."

"Wanted car with standard transmission, no air conditioning, high gasoline mileage. That is what I found for a reasonable price."

"I will not buy a Hyundai again. Even though "certified used", transmission fluid was black, needed new transmission within two weeks of purchase, car leaked, no windshield wiper fluid when purchased. Dealer and company headquarters ignored me. Because of rebuilt transmission, resale value of car diminished and cannot in good conscience sell to someone else."

"The price was in line with other models with much higher mileage. Good value"

"Got all of the features I wanted for the price I paid"

"You get very good value for price, but I don't love the car."

"Definitely value engineered. Misc. Cheap parts failing, like electric door lock motor died, chrome on door handle peeling off producing hand cuts."

"Good value for the price."

"Can't beat that Warranty"

"I got the car by ordering it over the internet. An excellent price and just the vehicle we wanted; style, performance, color etc"

"Very reliable car. Very good gas mileage and good size for running around. It did not cost much but what it has works well. Controls are easy to use and access."

"IT gives basic low cost transportation."

"Great value for a car that has everything I look for in a car."

"Hyundai level of build, carpet, seats, moldings, etc are mediocre and sometimes difficult to clean & maintain."

"A lot of features for the price"

"this car is a workhorse for the money paid"

"excellent value"

"very good value and good quality"

"Inexpensive car with good CR ratings at the time."

"Got a new car for $14,995 which is a very good value."

"This has been the most reliable and trouble-free automobile I have owned in 57 years of automobile ownership!"

"Great value, less than my first choice, but with more cargo and passenger space."

"The car is very cost effective to drive."

"The value you get out of the Elantra is that it is a low price and it is reliable transportation. It's almost the most boring car you can buy, A to B it works and is cheap."

"only complaint is poor traction in snow and rain"

"Expect flawless performance."

"Practical station wagon for low initial cost. Easy to drive. Good sound system and heated seats a plus. It's the Elantra Touring."

"A very good low cost car, I have had no problems."

"The Hyundai Elantra gets good mileage, is stylish and has all the features of a much more expensive car. The Navigation is significantly better than that of an Acura MDX. It gets great mileage however not as good as advertised."

"The car is very practical for about town use that we wanted. Inexpensive when bought, inexpensive to operate, and inexpensive to maintain."

"Gets me where I want to go every time with no problems. Only have done normal maintenance. Bought for a reasonable price, and has a 20-year waranty (10 for Hyundai, 10 for the dealer)."

"Car was top rated by Consumer Reports and has good for the time, safety features. Seat are very hard and acceleration is barely adequate. Was able to purchase at a very good model close out price."

"This is a great car. It is driven a lot and has been very reliable."

"It just looks good and feels good."

"Clean, presentable lines - good all around vision"
