Hyundai Elantra Change Vehicle

“like it very much, only problem is the road noise.”

“The Elantra is a very rough ride.”

“Horrible handling (borderline unsafe) and poor acceleration with a crude sounding engine.”

“Has a very stiff ride.”

“It accelerates a bit better than my Prius, which isn't saying much, but I'll take what I can get.”

“easy to drive, suspension could be softer”

“handles great and precise , great gas mileage”

“a. steering is "sticky" to slight adjustments when driving at highway speeds, requiring extra attention and a less smooth (more jerky) ride than other vehicles ive owned. b. excessive heat enters the vehicle near front floor ventilation areas, causing additional/excessive heat in vehicle when running.”

“Under powered, especially with air conditioning on.”

“Terrible on snow and ice”

“This is not by nature a snappy car, whether in econo mode or not, but when you push it, it will respond. The steering and ride are smooth without being mushy.”

“Really lacks acceleration and the road noise is terrible!”

“I put the engine in ECO mode, so not so fast accelerations, but I hope the engine will last longer because too much gasoline injected can wash the oil in the cylinders and reduce the life of the engine.”

“It handles very poorly in icy conditions.”

“Handling ok, but tires were rotated and ever since then the ride has been bumpy.”

“The car handles well. The acceleration is lacking. The gas mileage really is poor for this size vehicle.”

“good mileage no complaints”

“I think the acceleration is what I expected, but will look for a car that has quicker acceleration in the future.”

“This car is used mainly for in-town driving. I don't use it on long trips because it does not have the "poop" going up mountain roads. We use the Santa Fe instead.”

“For me it would be a perfect car if it wasn't so noisy. On some roads it's so loud that conversation is not possible. After 117,000 miles We just couldn't take it any more. Our Camry is much better.”

“Air conditioning doesn't work. Loud outside noise when driving.”

“The shock absorbers aren't that great. I;m aware of every bump in the road. It does get noisy, too. I've gotten used to the seats, knowing how to adjust helps. Wish the steering wheel were angled differently.”

“too noisy”

“Poor visibility”

“The cleverness of the Elantra's interior design was a surprising improvement over my 2006 Prius. Very roomy for its apparent size. (Elantra was bought in a pinch after I destroyed the Prius in January 2013.)”

“Loud and light. Feels like a tin can.”

“In 4th year, floor carpet sheds, leaving floor fibers everywhere. I consider this to be a health and safety matter for those with asthma. Was happy until this development. Seats are also too low and make it more difficult for older people to get out of the car.”

“Too much road noise. Don't like the ride from the performance tires.”

“Noisy on the highway, and already needs new shocks.”

“noisy, cramped”

“Driver's seat too Hard. Road noise too loud.”

“I'm used to being tall but, at 85, I've shrunk. I bought the car without thinking about seat adjustment. Turned out not to have the capacity to raise the driver's seat. I got a cushion for this and will pay more attention next purchase.”

“The seats are hard; vents for climate control blow right on me; the car is noisy.”

“Front passenger to low”

“Seats are not comfortable over a long distance. Road noise is also pretty pronounced in the city. The controls are easy to use and pairing the blue tooth is a snap”

“The seats in this car are a bit too stiff, could use more springs or padding for long trips”

“Springs could be better--you feel the bumps. However I really like the comfort of the seat's shape.”

“road noise very loud”

“Clunky and cheap”

“Many cars have seats with sides that come up around you. They can be uncomfortable.We would rather have flat seats. Material is very hard to clean.Asked dealer how to clean and they didn't seem to know.”

“Road noise high,ride just ok.”

“Car is black inside and out, leather. No window tinting when purchased used. Had windows tinted . Still almost intolerable upon initial entry in summer”

“It's a bit noisy.”

“Road and wind noise excessive. Noisy valves when starting. Dealer unconcernd.”

“Seats are not so comfortable, pass seat does not raise or Lowe and short persons view is not great”

“Seats are not comfortable for long trips OR over rough roads.”

“On highway driving the car is very comfortable with excellent gas mileage (35). The only issue is that the car tends to "drift" towards the left to the point that I can change lanes without trying. All the controls are very user friendly.”

“Comfortable seats , good power from 4 cyclender.”

“Climate control is excellent. Ride is only satisfactory. Really feel bumps in the road. No repair issues at all. Dealer "adds on" extras during servicing unless you are top of game. Gas mileage is disappointing; was expecting over 30 mpg. With a combo of city and highway driving, only average 28 mpg. This is main reason I would not buy again. Better repair record than CR ratings indicate in our case.”

“the heated leather seats”

“It has heated seats in both the front and back. It has ample headroom and leg room for a tall driver (6' 3", 35" leg inseam) while still allowing someone to sit behind the driver.”

“A/C vents in worst possible position”

“There are a number of blind spots, including not being able to see the front or back end of the car. Newer models now have cameras, which would have been helpful. Also, noise is sometimes annoying. But it is roomy and comfortable for a small call.”

“I feel it was an outstanding value for the price. I have had a family member and two friends purchase Hyundai autos based on their impression and experience with my vehicle. While I have not had to use it, the warranty seems exceptional.”

“Good car for price”

“The main factor about this car, is when you are braking and going of a bumping road at the same time, the brake system appears like it going to crash and break apart.”

“They lied about MPG. They only just now recalled vehicle for problem I complained about in the first 30 days of ownership.”

“All things considered, I pretty much got what I paid for with the car. The black interior is a bummer, tho. That's the only interior color available with the silver exterior. The warranty is excellent. I know I've had less expense than owners of other makes of car. I do think the gas mileage estimates are rather inflated. Also the windshield wiper blades are cheap - I have to pay extra to get blades that do a good job of clearing the windshield and LAST. All of the glass, windshield, etc.”

“many features, everything works, good performer (despite basic transmission missing gears).”

“Road noise too loud but overall I got my moneys wotrth.”

“For about $19,000 and all the "bells" and "whistles" that were standard on the car, it was a very good deal.”

“Initial price paid. MPG was grossly overstated. Engine problem(s)”

“I bought the car partially due to their claims of 40 mpg. Later found this wasn't true and my mileage is significantly less than advertised.”

“Overall mileage was misrepresented by the manufacturer”

“My operational costs have been very minimal. With 94,000 miles I still get very good mileage, solid handling, decent acceleration, and a comfortable ride. The controls are all user friendly and it's been a great value for me.”

“great value”

“I have owned this vehicle for over a year now and it has been completely reliable (knock on wood) .... I cannot begin to tell you how comforting it is to drive a car without worries!”

“Mileage is way below expected”

“Exceptional value for the money! Even the base model included features that normally cost extra in other makes - little features that add up to a very pleasant car to own. Examples include elevator seat height, tilt steering, remote mirrors, electronic locking, and in-car USB/Audio jack.”

“Hyundai advertised a mpg that was determined to be fraud but instead of settling the lawsuit, they keep appealing the decision. The result is that the ill feelings toward Hyundai continue and I will not buy another at any price.”

“We purchased a relatively inexpensive model. I think they cut corners and did not include a high security lock system, which they have on most cars. We also bought an after-market spare tire "donut" as all that was included in the car was an inflation kit which can't repair all tire damage.”

“Cheap company, no spare tire, Cannot purchase a service manual for the car. Lied to EPA about MPG. Then did mot fulfill agreement to compensate owners. Computer always overstates MPG by 3-4 MPG. All in all, an untrustworthy company.”

“Vehicles in the same class or group with the same options were at least $5,0000 more than my Elantra. The Elantra was a very good value.”

“I was first attracted by its looks, then found out it cost less than others in its class, and have been very impressed by the good workmanship and appearance of the interior. All together, great value for the money.”

“Car has provided good service, but am not confident that it will continue to do so going forward, am returning it at end of lease, would not want to buy it.”

“I bought this car based on the promise of 29mpg in city and 39 on freeway. They lied. Lucky to get 24 in city. It will get 39 + on long trips. They give about 1 tank of gas a year for misleading adds about the mileage. That doesn't help much. I wanted a car that was more green for the environment. It's no greener than most other new cars. Very disappointing for me. Also the seats' fabric is so cheap that water even leaves ugly dark stains.”

“Good styling. Disappointed milage.”

“I feel that I overpaid for this car. It lacked features for the cost.”

“Good value for price so far with 36,000 miles. We will see in the long run.”

“Hyundai falsified gas mileage. They have a compensation program that is insulting. I would never buy another car from them again.”

“Too much road noise and cannot get better MPG than 30 on freeways and 24 in city.”

“I like the style of the car on outside. Very pretty lines. I like the interior style too except the seats stain way too easily.”

“A stylish car that is not 'plain jane' in appearance and it doesn't look like so many other cars on the road.”

“Looked nice at time of purchase”

“Good styling that has bold look.”

“Big blind spot created by sides of front windshield decreases safety. Sometimes cannot see pedestrians at street corners die to this. This alone would prevent me from purchasing this vehicle again”

“My car is always noticed. The styling of the 2012 should have remained the same. It is a beautiful car.”

“The body and paint quality is so poor. It scratches and dents incredibly easily and with the cheap plastic parts things just break. Incredibly disappointed.”

“The distance between seat and consol is either too wide or too narrow. Took almost 60 minutes to retrievecar keys dropped between seat and consul. Blind spots so bad it os dangerous. A lot of quality car for the price.”

“It still has that new look, especially since I added the exterior butler coding.neasybto keep clean.”
