Hyundai Elantra Change Vehicle

“Engine is underpowered with a/c on”

“The suspension needs some serious tweaking as the rear end has a tendency to lose it over smaller imperfections in the road such as a 'washboard' effect.”

“Quite a bit of road noise”

“The Elantra has decent acceleration up to around 55km/hr. Above that it lacks and makes it difficult to pass on the highway above 100km/hr. The handling is stiff and jarring, but that it most likely the 'sport' trim package.”

“Handling is fine, and on long trips it's no problem. Seats are only OK; I need cushions to get to a comfortable height, as the seat isn't adjustable vertically. My main complaint is with the ABS, which, when it engages, is crude and to my mind ineffective (I could do better on my own). But I'm told by others, including my mechanic, that this is how ABS works. I wish I could disengage it, to be honest.”

“This car has gotten me through more serious snow storms than I could have ever imagined a rear-wheel drive car doing. I feel so safe in this car and I am just so impressed with how well it handles in inclement weather.”

“The suspension allows for the driver to feel every bump and the road noise is terrible.”

“Rough, noisy ride. Can't last more than an hour.”

“SLOW TO PICK UP SPEED-NOT ENOUGH POWER”

“Once I got rid of the factory tires and put on Michellins tires road noise was cut in half!”

“There is a reflection of the dash on the windshield due to the angle of the windshield. This is very distracting and potentially dangerous.”

“Would like more insulation for road noise”

“It's a rather rough ride (manhole covers) and a bit noisy. But I love the heated seats!”

“Adjustable lumbar position needed”

“Cooling fan is very noisy. Car shakes when fan and/or Air conditioning is on”

“Ride is the least satisfying feature. rather harsh, noisy.”

“Handling, acceleration, overall size, controls, mileage, value are excellent. Noise is bad, ride is stiff perhaps due to low profile tires. Temperature sensor failure in transmission at 34,000 km was expensive to fix.”

“The one thing I don't like about my car is the road noise.”

“Seats are very easy to stain and the stains are permanent.”

“Seats are uncomfortable, must use a pillow behind my back, so that I don't feel like I'm all hunched over.”

“Could be quieter - especially when fitted with winter tires.”

“The front passenger seat is very uncomfortable for the passenger. She feels like she is sitting in a hole. Also, the front passenger air vent cannot be closed, so the passenger becomes uncomfortable when the the air conditioner is turned up.”

“Somewhat noisy. Sluggish acceleration even with a manual shift gear box. Good braking system and overall a good reliable vehicle for the money.”

“Road noise is quite pronounced and the ride is rough. Fuel economy is not what the manufacturer advertised.”

“Comfortable seats for a small car and the heated seats are a big hit with my wife.”

“Seats uncomfortable, ride rough, noisy.”

“The Hyundai Elantra Touring (Wagon) is inexpensive transportation, even when nicely optioned it is still an affordable vehicle. Plus the 6 year 100K power train warranty is great peace of mind.”

“It's been very reliable, though it very low mileage. Reglar check-ups are all that has been required so far after 5 years on the road...”

“Better equipped with much nicer and more modern styling and very reliable than the competition at the time (2011 model year)”

“The initial value seems good to me. But I keep my cars until they can't be driven any longer. So I need to withhold final opinion until I determine how many years and miles of low maintenance the car will provide.”

“Gas milage is not what was stated and winter driving is poor”

“A basic car, good cargo area, responsive in traffic and on highway, uncomfortable to sit in for over an hour at a time.”

“Very noisy”

“Have had no issues whatsoever with the car which makes it a great value”

“maintenance costs extremely high for mileage on vehicle”

“Good: No mechanical defects, great service Bad: Noisy ride, turn signals cannot be seen, it's a gasoline-consuming car.”

“I put in a new sound system. The subwoofer takes up some space but there is still a ton of space. The seats fold down. Lots of space for me and my tall friends. We are all 6 feet or taller. It rides great. I have Michelins and they make a difference. Great car. I get a lot of compliments”

“Terrific gas mileage and very stylish. Because of it's light weight, it handles very well and has superb visibility.”

“Vehicle still looks modern. Sporty styling.”

“The 2011 Elantra Touring (wagon) looks like almost nothing else on the road, It is rare that a month goes by without someone commenting on how much they like to blue paint and how the car looks. It has great utility, and a reasonable interior.”
