Hyundai Elantra

"Engine is short of torque."

"Sight lines aren't the best. The length of the windshield put the pillars in very awkward places for being able to see at turns."

"a little sluggish but ok for around town.."

"very under=powered, virtually no torque, when using the cruise control it can struggle up ling grades"

"The balance of the car is slightly off which after/during encountering bumpy roads it under steers badly."

"Will get up and go when I need it to. Handles well."

"See previous answer."

"Plenty of acceleration for a 4 cylinder"

"Underpowered"

"Acceleration is more than adequate. Holds the road."

"Decent acceleration & as I indicated before good handling, for the money."

"Excellent"

"good"

"Great all around."

"Acceleration and handling are good."

"Accelerates and handles well"

"Smooth on smooth surfaces. Jittery when hitting bumps or potholes as if the struts or shocks are not keeping the car on the road."

"I feel like I am driving a sports car with the acceleration and handling."

"A little slow to excellerate, but great handling after up to speed."

"Poor turning ratio, sluggish acceleration even when not in ECO mode."

"This is a small car, & it accelerates as needed & very quickly. It handles very well. I have had no problem with handling it in any situation. To be fair, I do not put winter tires on this car, so I drive my Buick when the roads are bad. Therefore, I do not know how it would handle on slick or snowy roads. Mountain roads both up and down, it does very well."

"Again, put 3,500 miles on the car during my June road trips; could not ask for better performance."

"In ECO mode, it flies. No problem passing trucks It handles very responsively"

"It does not absorb bumps very well-not near as good as the Honda does-which we have owned in the past. i would go back to the Honda"

"Acceleration can be a little slow but it is a smooth transition. Stears easily and corners well."

"It's ok. Nothing great. Traction on snow is worse than expected."

"Acceleration is actually very good. Car is now 6 years old and it hasn't changed much. Handles quite well."

"Handles well, goes around corners with little lean, steering has just the right feel."

"Great car, fun to drive, handles really well, top notch car"

"Acceleration good and handling very responsive."

"It has great acceleration."

"It has quick response whatever I need to do. Very easy to maneuver, swerve in and out of traffic, merge onto highway. I love it."

"Acceleration is merely adequate. Passing power is awful. Rear wheels step out over bumps like a stiffly sprung live axle when in fact the car is front wheel drive."

"I drive in the economy mode. It takes a bit to get the pick up on entering a highway."

"Controls are logical. Good handling"

"Only once did I try to accelerate quickly, and it huffeed and puffed and blew black smoke out the tailpipie. But overall its ok driving and handling."

"Handling tight in relation to other vehicles at time of purchase in 2013"

"it is ok - the original tires were terrible in the winter - not good at all in snow & ice. I also had a hard time seeing out of the side windows in the back because the doors were higher than in my old car - it is better now that I am more used to it and have gotten better at using the side mirrors. also I had a manual shift in my old car and could feel it when the car did not shift when it should have."

"I have the GT version and it's very fun to drive. Zippy acceleration, great suspension, good in turns. Noisy."

"Good acceleration and handling"

"Acceleration and handling are very good for such a small car; however, it is the worst car I've owned in the snow. It simply doesn't have the weight to keep it moving and going straight."

"The car handles very well at high speed and never felt the vibration of the steering wheel or a sense it is going too fast."

"The car is very under powered and front wheels shake during hard acceleration."

"Quick when reving above 3000 and agile"

"its good"

"Acceleration and handling are very good."

"Handling is pretty good, given how much I payed for this car. However, acceleration can be anemic, especially when trying to pass at highway speeds."

"slow acceleration. Rides rough"

"manual shift is fun"

"Not the peppiest car so i would expect netter gas mileage"

"Car handles with ease while driving, parking and all other moves. Acceleration is smooth or quick, whichever you need."

"Steering is horrendous. Very loose allows car to wander and veer off the roadway, especially on snowy roads."

"The Elantra handles pretty well, but using the ECO setting, I often find that acceleration is not very good, I guess, because of the limitations this setting forces on the engine."

"it moves along fine and handles well"

"It does not handle well in snow, even with snow tires"

"For a four cyclinder it has excellent acceration. The car handles extremely well. It holds road very well. It has a small turn radius."

"Very peppy car for the size of engine and not being turbo charged"

"It's a small somewhat underpowered car, but that's why I bought it. Handles quite well, acceleration is no more than adequate"

"We found this vehicle very peppy for a small car."

"Excellent gearshift and the controlled handling in sudden evasive manoeuvers has proved itself on a couple of occasions when other drivers decided that STOP signs were for other people. The speed-sensitive power steering is nicely weighted on the highway and quite light in parking lots. Hyundai Canada, though, has resolutely declined to accept responsibility for the sticking brake calipers and warped rotors that have plagued the car since delivery. In the U.S. Hyundai simply replaced the brak"

"Not very powerful when starting to accelerate"

"My Elantra lacks power and acceleration when I need to speed up quickly to pass or increase speed."

"I bit more horsepower would have been nice but is adequate. But acceleration was better than Civic the other car I considered."

"No road feel. Acceleration is fine."

"Handles good. Driving at 55 MPH in the hills of AR, I got 42-43 MPG!!!"

"My car had the live rear axle. Hops around I bumpy roads, particularly turns."

"I realize it is a smaller car with a smaller engine, but it seems sluggish once there is more than 2 persons riding. Otherwise it drives and handles well for my driving style."

"Does not handle well. You lose control over small bumps."

"The configuration of the post & side view mirrors effectively create 'blind spots' when entering circles or sharp curves. For a full view of the road, it is necessary to lean forward in the seat. This is a potentially hazardous action. However, not doing so may allow a pedestrian or other obstacle to remain unseen until the last minute."

"The Elantra in my opinion does not handle very well. When I first bought it I thought I'd just have to get used to it as I was used to driving a van. I never did. Driving over the slightest bump can cause a wreck. The slightest adjustment in steering can be an over adjustment. Its scary on the interstate."

"Tends to cutout if you need to accelerate to quickly."

"The car is hard to accelerate smoothly as the fuel delivery seems imprecise and jerky. The car seems to surge."

"I generally drive the speed limit and/or 5 miles over. This has great acceleration to get me on and off the highway, as well as the speed necessary to pass. It gives me 3 different driving modes. 90% of the time I keep it on 'sporty' and find the handling spontaneous. I really enjoy driving it."

"Not enough power on the freeway or hills Poor visibility when changing lanes. Blind spot on rear posts."

"This is the GT version of the Elantra. I am disappointed in its gas mileage and its handling, specifically handling on icy or wet pavement. It is also a noisy car. Rear compartment is small and awkward compared to the sedan version of the Elantra. I would not buy an Elantra GT again, but would definitely buy another Elantra sedan."

"he convenience of the Hatch back for carrying groceries"

"Rough riding car and hard to handle on rough roads"

"Vehicle rides low so got stuck in snow left at intersections from snowplows. Also could not drive up a snow and ice covered driveway (slight hill) at work. Had to leave it parked at bottom of driveway. But that may be a tire issue. But still frustrating with a newer vehicle."

"Underpowered. Needs a few more horsepower."

"OK acceleration, just wish it had a little more horsepower"

"Car seems light and the ride is stiff and uncomfortable, especially over rough roads. Car feels small for a six-foot male. Car came with 17" rims and this probably makes the ride feel even harsher."

"The visibility is comprised by the styling."

"Lousy acceleration. Gets about 10 miles per gallon less than what the manufacturer claims."

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

"Handles very well"

"There were 2 accidents, both caused by the stability control system. The car went off the road once causing serious damage to the vehicle. There was an acceleration problem when parking where several vehicles were hit by the Hyundai. We now drive it with the Stability system turned off. No incidents in 9 months. You should check the NHTSA website this is a very common problem. Since the Government requires stability control, they are not acting on all of the failures. This is infinitely worse t"

"Engine a little weak on the hills. I drive in Econo mode which gears up early. In the hills I have to shift down to get power. This is what I would expect in a low horse powered engine."

"The car runs loud, takes rough roads poorly, and underpowered."

"Reversing is difficult because one cannot see where the car ends"

"handling not good for a car this size. Under powered"

"During summer months, the Elantra is fine. MPG is highly dependent on speed -- over 43 mpg at 50-55, but 35 mpg at 68-72. HOWEVER, in Michigan winter when highways are wet / snowy / icy, the Elantra is hazardous; I feel virtually no control of the car vs my other vehicle. I feel unsafw over 35 mph on the freeway when others pass me doing 60. NOT ACCEPTABLE."

"The car frightens me in bad weather. The rear end skips when it hits bumps because it is so light. It has no grab on the road."

"Handling is very good. Acceleration for entering a highway is not great."

"Rides rough"

"Acceleration is just okay. Neither peppy nor slow. Sometimes it feels like its hesitant to down shift when passing power is needed. Steering is very numb but ultimately secure. It just has a very disconnected feel to it."

"Very roomy for a "compact" with good sized trunk. Love the "Fluidic Design" exterior and interior. Quite peppy for a four with six speed auto. It shifts up very quickly. City driving I am getting 29 plus mpg Over all, I am very pleased with this Hyundai Elantra GLS"

"Poor acceleration"

"The Elantra is adequate when it comes to these features."

"acceleration is excellent"

"I have skidded off the road a few times. quite scary."

"My last car was a standard and I wanted my nest car to be a standard Ford Mustang (close to retirement) but my 1995 Ford Probe threw a rod and I was tired of getting rides to work and renting cars on the weekend so I bought from Enterprise. I should have just bought a Ford Mustang automatic from Enterprise and traded it in for an standard when I retired this year."

"it is fine to drive but it is boring, just no fun factor"

"The acceleration is poor at slow and fast speeds. Handling in the winter is poor when more than 4 inches of snow. It does take curves extremely well. It doesn't take pot holes well at all."

"Acceleration drags. Handling not as tight and responsive as the Accord."

"The transmission (6 speed Automatic) shift very sluggish and sometime it is still in 4th gear at 65 miles an hour. I have to shift it manually. Had it in for service twice, and was told that there is nothing wrong."

"Alot of brake noise,rear. No mechanical problems."

"My last car, a Honda Civic, drove as a more solid car. Noted going over bumps and breaking, especially on rough road."

"I like the car. Am disappointed in fuel economy."

"It is simply a great car for the money in every regard."

"The car has been reliable and handles well. For a small car, the performance is really quite good."

"Noisy ride causes high volume on radio and phone; poor insulation against outside noise. Trunk is not as good as VW. AC /air flow is unsatisfactory."

"It is just what it is advertised to be, an economical, practical car. Acceleration and handling are what you would expect. Adequate, but nothing special."

"underpowered (1800 cc 6 speed manual)"

"nimble and accelerates very well. excellent auto trans. control."

"Front windshield posts too wide, block view."

"All but GPS"

"It's steering and handling are not quite as good as I would like."

"Steering is great. Handles really well. Only negative is the bar support on the left side of windshield from the driver's seat. It's placement obstructs your field of vision sometimes when making a left hand turn."

"The acceleration is ok for a small car with 4 cylinders, but the handling is not so great. Car feels like it has a drag when coming to a stop and cornering at medium to high speeds feels unstable. If you hit a bump while cornering the front end loses traction and shifts/jumps toward the direction of centrigugal force"

"slow acceleration, stuttery transmission"

"Great car my wife loves it. Has great pick up which is her big concern. Seats are fine great ride."

"Road noise could be improved"

"I find the noise level to be a bit much. I am not sure if anything could be done and at what cost"

"Too much road noise. Great car otherwise"

"Seating is good and comfort is good, lumbar support could be bettrr"

"Very good seats, low noise, ride firm and well controlled."

"The noise level is higher than I would like. I hear too much road noise."

"I love the heated seats. It's like having a heating pad build I to my seat. After a long day at work, I can sooth my back on the drive home."

"Road noise"

"Somewhat cramped. Noisy interior - lots of road noise."

"Rough ride on bad road surfaces. Noise level higher than I would like."

"The Elantra is a typical Asian compact. Low but comfortable seats. Road noise was lower than Mazada but similar to others in its class. The ride is a little firm and car is tossed around by small bumps or grooves in the road."

"Comfortable seat for my wife"

"Main problem is with back seats in the hatchback version. When you want to fold down the back seats you cannot do it and actually put them flat against the floor without removing the headrests (with no place to put them) ."

"Really comfortable ride. The fake leather is pretty durable"

"Very noisy ride. Tires make high pitched sound on some road surfaces. Difficult to hear radio when driving on highway"

"Least driver fatigue of any vehicle I have ever owned. When I get out after 4 hours of driving my back doesn't hurt!!!"

"Easy to drive and very comfortable."

"Very comfortable seats and smooth ride"

"The seats are very comfortable."

"The seats lack some comfort & exacerbate my back problems at times. The noise level is increasing as time goes by, & the rids is completely determined by how rough the road it. It really has a poor suspension system for providing a smooth ride."

"The inside is not quiet when driving especially on the highway. I listen to audio books and have to turn the sound up very high to hear the recording."

"The package I bought included heated seats, which I had never had before. I LOVE them, and would no longer buy a car without them. I also enjoy having an outside temperature display on the dashboard. Noise and ride smoothness are about what one would expect from a compact car."

"Seats start to lose support after 4 hours of driving. Cabin noise level is high due to road & wind noise. Low profile tires have so far managed to NOT bend a rim! Quick handling is still a plus. 6-speed manual transmission still keeps me engaged."

"nice leather seats"

"they need to put lumbar support in front passenger seat"

"Hard to get in and out of."

"The Elantra is quite noisy even though I have installed new tires that are known for reducing road noise. The seats are not comfortable on drives longer than 3 hours."

"I love power seats"

"very high level of noise and ride is very rough and I have almost lost control a couple of times after hitting bumps in the road"

""Leather" seats are wearing out after 3 years. Wife thinks body is very low to get into and out of. The tires are horrible, always going flat, and/or several needed replacing. Unfortunately, did not replace with Michelin but Hyundai Continental brand."

"Road noise & ventilation system noise could be better & my number 1 frustration is that the turn signal sound can't be heard over the radio or blower or if a window is open or cracked."

"seats are not comfortable for longer rides, also it's noisy"

"There is a fair amount of road noise, and the seats aren't particularly comfortable. They are not UNcomfortable, just not great."

"when going over bumps/dips in road, car shakes to the extreme. Also, over time the car has gotten louder- road noise more noticeable."

"The leather seats are very comfortable. Heated feature works well. The ride is nice. Acceleration is good and gets a lot better if you turn off son other features you might have activay d such as full blown air conditioning, seat heating, and/or radio. The noise levels are not good but I didn’t expect much better anyway."

"Seats have little padding, and suspension is not great. Can feel every little anomaly in the road."

"Easy to adjust seats. Comfortable"

"very noisy when driven on a highway. Otherwise, very nice."

"Too high a level of road noise."

"I did not upgrade my seats so I have the standard seats in my car. The material is very difficult to keep clean and soils easily. The seats always look soiled. I would definitely get better seats next time."

"Car has more comfort than is generally acknowledged. Not as noisy as you have said in the past. Fun to drive."

"Road noise seems to be elevated on paved road surfaces. I the air conditioner fan or heater fan is on the highest fan setting the noise created makes if difficult to hear the radio, until the road speed changes to a smoother surface, or until the fan speed is reduced. Increasing the radio volume does not seem to be able to overcome the noise. Later models the 2014, 2015 Elantra may have include more more noise insulation. I have been a passenger in those two years of Elantras and fan noise and road noise seems to be quieter that the 2013 model"

"Back seat is uncomfortable for taller passengers. It often feels as if the struts are jittery when hitting bumps in the road as if the car is not holding the road as well as it could. The car came with low profile tires which I replaced with regular tires because the rims were getting bent often with the low profiles."

"Road noise level about what expected for car in this price range, but engine at idle is noisy - especially at idle - until gets really warmed up - sounds like cars of old with valve lifter needing adjustment."

"Seats lack support causing back pain. I needed to add padding to eliminate this pain."

"Tires that came with car are noisy and car takes bumps, etc, hard."

"Comfort is good ride is good noise is ok"

"A little small inside the car. It has a smaller gas tank than the Sonata and the gas mileage is not much better."

"Bumpy ride. Not easy to enter and exit the car."

"For the size and price the comfort level is acceptable but the cabin noise level is a bit more than it should be and the handling is a bit sub par."

"Ride noise is excessive especially on the highway"

"Overall, the seats are very comfortable, but the ride tends to be bumpy, and the road noise is not good. I usually have to turn up the radio to try to drown it out."

"The road noises is very high and get fatiguing on long drives."

"Good: value, comfort, styling, handling, low cost to own Bad: acceleration, intererior carpet weak,"

"harsh ride, excessive road and tire noise, shocks too stiff, driver seat comfort good, see prior comments."

"Front leather seats are comfortable. Driver's power seat easy to adjust for comfort. Some engine and road noise but not excessive."

"I think that for the price we paid for this Elantra, the seats are quite comfortable and it gives a smooth ride for a small, non-luxury car."

"Rides well, performs as advertised, best car I have owned."

"wind noise levels too high when wind blows from a certain direction and when driving on highway. took dealer and said they couldn't find. really disappointted with dealership"

"Recently "road tripped" some 3,500 miles in June. Never got tired, cramped, etc. Love this car!"

"Relatively high road noise levels lead to fatigue on long drives, but for a commuter car the value cannot be beat."

"The ride is very good, the seats are good, the road noise is bad."

"Loud road noise"

"Seats are very comfortable. Good on long drives"

"Power heated seats have been very comfortable enabling long stints behind the wheel. Ride is harsh over tar strip type bumps. A lot of road and tire noise is transmitted into passenger space."

"Car is too noisy, especially at highway speeds."

"The Elantra is a bit noisy. It is difficult getting in and out."

"Comfort is adequate for tall people. Ride is jarring and you feel every bump in the road."

"the car is noisy, I can hardly hear the radio when driving. The seats are low and tilt back which is more of a problem as one ages."

"The car has much interior space and plenty of legroom. I am tall but can fully stretch out while driving. The seats are comfortable but a little low, so I use a cushion. The ride is comfortable, but there is interior noise on the highway."

"Comfortable except for the lack of lumbar support, especially on long drives."

"The seats are too low and cabin noise can be irritating"

"Comfortable but lots of road noise"

"Road noise seems a little excessive"

"Seats not very comfortable on long drive."

"Seats are very comfortable. However, road noise can be an issue, depending on the road surface. Sometimes it can be annoying."

"The seats are very comfortable, even after 5 years. The road noise is a bit high, otherwise the ride is pretty good"

"Very comfortable and easy to reach controls"

"The seats are somewhat uncomfortable especially the passenger side front seat. There is no lumbar support. Noise on highway is good, with no appreciable noise. Ride is fairly comfortable and smooth"

"Noise level is horrific."

"Noisy hard to hear radio while driving"

"Bad: 1. Leather seats are cheaply made and worn looking with less than 12k miles. 2. Road noise is horrible. Good: It's comfortable but with the other failures, I don't trust the mechanism to control the comfort will last."

"Would prefer a car with less road noise at freeway speeds.Probably would have required buying a larger car."

"Very noisy. Air conditioning doesn't cool well in hot & humid weather."

"The driver side a/c ports air is blocked by your hands and arms when they are in the 2/10 position"

"Road noise is a bit louder than expected"

"Comfortable .Good all around"

"Only thing I dislike is air noise , sometime sounds like the door seals are gone"

"DIFFICULT TO GET IN AND OUT, ESPECIALLY IF THE CAR IS PARKED ON AN UP INCLINE. TOO NOISY."

"A big noisey ride. The cooling/heating system is not as powerful as I'd like. In particular, the heating system doesn't keep me warm enough in the very cold winter."

"seat positioning for driver very good A/C works well RIDE is terrible- you feel all bumps and i have almost lost control several times when the car hits a severe bump in the road"

"Bumpy ride. You feel pretty much every pebble. But the prtice, safety, economy and style make it more than worthwhile. My next car is going to be a smooth ride. Tall people have trouble entering and exiting but seated have room."

"seat bottoms are a bit short, tire noise, stiff ride"

"Quality. Zero problems since new. Comfort, Economy."

"Front seat backs are too deep"

"Comfort is super nice. The only negative is road noise from under the car and wind noise, in spite of windows being closed! if this could be fixed my 2013 Hyundai Elantra would be on par with a luxury car."

"Road noise with the low-profile tires"

"At my age, need more supportive back support. Since car is low, I have difficulty getting in and out of drivers seat."

"difficult to see traffic coming from right hand side because of side view mirror and column supporting roof."

"Ride is quite stiff and the car is a bit noisy. Biggest problem was with the BRAKES: Grinding Noise right from the start. After only two years, the rear Brake Pads were wearing badly and in the words of the mechanic who did the repair and replacement. "REAR PADS SEIZED IN CALIPER BRACKET""

"Seats are ok for comfort. Only driver seat is adjustable"

"The seats sit low and aren't the most comfortable on a long trip. Other than that this has been a great vehicle."

"The engine is a little loud when accelerating."

"Suspension is too stiff and no travel over larger bumps especially rear suspension- rear axle hops ."

"Ride is quite. Seats are comfortable and the air is adequate even in very high temp"

"Driver's seat a little hard. Feels uncomfortable after 1 hour of driving. Otherwise no issues."

"You don't feel connected to the road. there is no feel in the steering wheel. Road noise comes into the car at highway speed."

"My GT is feels good inside and out. Seats are comfortable and dash is well laid out."

"THE PASSENGER SEAT SETS WAY TO LOW AND IT CAN NOT BE RAISED..( THIS IS THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT)....."

"difficult to enter & exit due to low roof line , seats uncomfortable on long trips over 200 miles for tall drivers"

"The Elantra is an economy car. As such, it lacks the comfort, quietness, and up-market cliate control features of many more expensive cars."

"road noise and sometimes bumpy ride could be improved"

"The only issue I have is that the driver side vents are somewhat blocked by the steering wheel. There is no way to aim the vents around the steering wheel."

"We found the Elantra to be an exceptional small car with outstanding comfort at an affordable price. We are, however, quite dissatisfied with the high level of road noise on longer trips. We're investigating a different brand of tire, but believe it would not be difficult for Hyundai to add better road noise insulation."

"bumpy ride, and not very quiet"

"The leather seats are very uncomfortable & cause fatigue even on short trips of 30 miles. The suspension is brutal. If you hit a pothole you feel it from head to toe & the rear tends to hop off the ground when hitting a bump."

"Ride is very stiff - feel every bump, Have had numerous flat tires from hitting potholes, etc.. Don't know if the flat tires are from the style of the tire and rim (sporty) or other factor."

"Location of A/C dash vents. Poor placement of center vents."

"Cabin is a little noisy."

"There is more road noise in this car than I would like. Also, I am very short, and even adjusting the seat belt to the lowest possible position, it still hits me in the neck."

"The center of the seat is lower than the sides. My brother-in-law finds the sides hit/bother his hips on long drives. A cut-out seat cushion solved the problem. My mother, a backseat driver, benefits from the same cushion- to be able to see out the windows which are higher than my last car."

"There's not a bump in the road that this car doesn't react to."

"Could do better on road noise"

"Small interiors, bad seat comfort. For a person 5'10" difficult to get out of drivers seat. My car came equipped with run flat tires, and they are extremely low, reducing road to chassis clearance, therefore, augmenting risk of braking plastic protector."

"Suspension is good at handling most road defects but has a hard time responding to large potholes and lifted roadway segments. Sounds like shocks/springs are "bottoming out". Also noticeable over parking lot speed bumps. Seems to be a problem with the post-2011 Elantras, as others tell me of the same experience. Not sure if lower profile OEM tires contribute to the issue."

"Hear a little too much road noise"

"Ride is smoother than Civic which is the other car I seriously considered; also smoother than the 2 previous cars I owned --- Acura RSX and Integra."

"Seats not comfortable for long drives. Noise level somewhat Uncomfortable."

"The seats really need more support and better overall comfort."

"There is no adjustment on the passenger seat to increase the height, unlike the driver's seat, it make it hard to get into the vehicle"

"Great car but I am considering a Chevy BOLT since there is a AAA charging station nearby. (PROVIDING GM comes out with a good lease price.) But getting a Bolt has nothing to do with my not liking the Hyundai--it is the best car I have ever owned."

"I had to add an adjustable lumbar seat for the driver for comfort. the passenger seat is too low; hard to get in and out and can't see over the hood."

"road noise very loud! side mirrors and other design details can obstruct vision"

"Like everything except for road noise"

"The ride seems to be very stiff, to the point that one feels every bump or crack in the pavement. I would rate the ride "poor." The ride is also noisy."

"Overall,it is comfortable to me. It is louder than friends' cars and a little bumpier of a ride too (noticed by friends, not me)"

"bad driver seat position and knee positioning. Car lack of spare tire. tail lights burn out every month or 2."

"The car is very comfortable with lots of legroom, but the ride is a little noisy. Climate control is also great."

"The car is sometimes noisy and the handling is poor in winter even with excellent winter tires. It is a lackluster car and we plan to change it for a more luxurious car."

"seats are comfortable and heated."

"The car feels small and tight. Ride is a bit rough. Mileage is not what was expected."

"The ride can be quite noisy and bumpy depending on the road."

"Very comfortable driving. I love my front heated seat great in the winter in the north east. the Elantra has more features Then any car I look at.before I bought this car. I will be a Hyundai customer for life."

"Seats need to be flatter to seat wider passengers and drivers. The rise on the seat edges can get uncomfortable on long trips"

"Road noise"

"We needed a car with ease of entry due to spinal injury. The Prius we loved did not allow us to keep it due to difficult smaller entry clearance. We really like the Elantra but the ride is quite rough and bumpy. We know the suspension could be improved and would pay more for that. The handling is great, the climate control is good, seats are fine, noise is a non-issue since we replaced the tires with much quieter ones."

"Lots of noise, especially on the highway"

"Only adequate could be a lot better"

"A little noise than I would like."

"It's too noisy."

"I love the value of the Elantra. This car is great. I want to thank consumer reports for the recommendation. I have had no problems with this car."

"It's quiet and comfortable"

"The seats are very low, making it difficult to see."

"The seats are manual and have limited function"

"Seats started out comfortable, but after a few thousand miles, they lost some of their support and now I have to use pads to prevent back pain while driving. Climate control is fine, but it takes the AC a little too long to cool the car on a hot day. Road noise is a little louder than I would like. The ride is comfortable."

"Was lied to when purchasing the vehicle; told I would get 40Mpg and got 26; no spare tire; rough ride; crappy car"

"The car, overall, is very good. It's only weakness is that your feel every bump you go over. Also, when driving on the freeway, if there are grooves in the freeway, the car tends to follow those grooves and so if these grooves are not parallel to where the car is traveling, it can be a bit scary sometimes as it feels like the car is drifting into the next lane."

"The seats are fairly comfortable, the manual gearshift is excellent, and it probably SEEMS to ride better than it really does because there are no rattles or squeaks. One interior annoyance is the low position of the dashboard vents - I gather that was changed in later models."

"front seating too low and minor brake issues due to height off the ground"

"Very tight seating, especially in the rear seats"

"The noise level is rather high when driving on the highways. The defroster/heater is very slow and rather weak for Kentucky winters. The ride is satisfactory for a coupe."

"I am dissatisfied with the ride of my Elantra, it seems that I feel even the smallest of bumps or potholes. The overall ride is choppy and bumpy."

"The one thing I am discovering to dislike (ever since getting the Toyota Matrix) is the space /room of the vehicle. It's not very comfortable to get into. I typically hit my head on the top door sill. Compared to the Matrix, The cockpit is cramped. When we first bought the car, thought everything, including space, was good. Also I thought the car was quiet, and think it still is, but not compare to some other more expensive cars. Love the seats. Love the controls. After reading Consumer Repo"

"Very competitive price. Great value for the money."

"It's been a strong, accessories rich car for the money I paid. I consider it a good value."

"Competes with luxury cars in handling, features, and options."

"Full of features for the price."

"The Elantra Limited edition is loaded and comes at a very reasonable price. It has good gas mileage and is very dependable and reliable. And on top of all that it is styled very nicely. I regret that the resale value is not as high as I thought it would be."

"Great equipment level for the .price"

"excellent best car in its class"

"Traded a 1999 Nissan Altima in great condition and got an excellent deal."

"Very nice car at a reasonable price"

"Good value for money. Warranty is outstanding. The car has held up well over time. The material that the cloth seats are made from stains too easily."

"Fantastic value for the price, heated seats front and back, full air conditioning, one touch auto down power window for driver. bluetooth integrated. large trunk, alloy rims, and great fuel economy"

"Bought top of line model in Feb. 14 with a %k discount and have had no problems in 35k miles. It is inexpensive to operate, maintain and insure so I feel it is a good value for money."

"This vehicle handles very well on the road, gets good mileage and has excellent speed control."

"This is the 5th Hyundai I have owned. The combination of great gas mileage, roominess, comfort and quiet responsive ride for less than $22K out the door could not be better. I have had Zero mechanical issues with this car and the warranty is the best in the business."

"reliable and low cost to drive"

"A car with the most value for the $ that I have seen."

"The Hyundai is reliable and good value new however the trade in value on this car is not great. I would have been better off buying a useful one."

"Great car for the price."

"Very good value. Car holds it very good."

"one of the most storty cars for the price and realibe."

"I bought the Electra GT touring version for a long commute. The miles per gallon have been extraordinary, especially with a 6 speed manual transmission. I got a good price, but the value dropped a lot very quickly."

"comfortable, stylish and reliabile. No mechanical problems in almost 5 years. Hyundais are not known for having good MPG. I agree, average, but not great."

"Affordable car for college kid. Safe and runs well."

"Lots of features. Noisy, rough handling and weak engine."

"more standard features for the price"

"For the price this is the best little car we have ever purchased. Great for getting around town running errands. Great turn radius and large trunk space for car size. Rear seats fold down for more storage. Great beginner car for our children."

"Low price considering the features, is reliable and relatively inexpensive to operate."

"The best, most reliable car for 60% of the price of competitors"

"Bad value the Elantra is very susceptable to road noises, noise that is heard in the cabin when moving from smooth road surfaces to rough road surfaces, paved interstate road surfaces. I frequently travel a stretch of interstate and the road surface is asphalt and noise, when I to the portion of the road surface that is a concrete surface the road noise diminishes and is not as much of a factor. The change in road noise makes it difficult to hear not only the radio but conversations with other..."

"Overall pretty good, but right from the start poor quality on electronics, a couple of minor engeneering issues, good mileage & good looks, good braking & overall good handling."

"Compared to the Japanese competition, the Elantra was $2K to $6K cheaper than a similarly equipped Honda or Toyota."

"I believe we got our money's worth. The car "ages" well and will probably have a good resale value."

"I think the car is a great value. Excellent gas mileage. Comfortable ride. Fairly stylish. Soft leather interior."

"reliable vehicle, good features for the price paid"

"The cost of the Elantra makes it a good choice for a commuter car. I commute about 15,000 miles per year so I wanted a reliable low cost car with good warranty. The Elantra met all these needs for me."

"roomy and good quality interior. Easy on gas consumption. Excellent handling. ride becomes rougher as auto ages"

"For the price paid I feel we received excellent value and a dependable vehicle"

"good value for the price"

"High quality and consistent reliability."

"Outstanding value for money"

"great car for the money- looks good- runs good- no major problems"

"This was a well-equipped new car for less than $20,000"

"Very dependable car"

"Great bang for the buck. So far, very reliable vehicle."

"Great value. Hasn't had any major issues. Low cost of ownership"

"Mpg was untrue and an important bad factor. Also early on I had a problem and felt corporate was unresponsive"

"We bought our 2013 Elantra 6 years ago for less than $20,000. It has given us 0 trouble & is completely reliable. Great value!"

"It has been a very good car for the money. It holds more than any vehicle in its class (you have to put the rear seat cushions into the foot well and the rear seat back folds flat (CR and Road & Track never figured that out). It has unique styling and amazing headroom for back seat passengers. That makes it a good value. Gas mileage stinks and Hyundai lied about the numbers. Nothings broken so far. I give it a solid B for value."

"This is a great commuting vehicle. I commute about 1.5 hours each way, mostly on the highway, and get 36-38 mpg in relative comfort."

"Overall, a great value. Car has done reasonably well except for radio replacement and axle replacement (both covered under warranty). It's a very stylish, capable economy hatchback"

"You get a lot of “bells and whistles‿ for the money compared to other makes of similar vehicles"

"Heated seats standard, can play audio from flash drive (some cars only recognize apple or require an app,) roomy, ample trunk space, ride fairly smooth for a compact."

"Good gas mileage. Ample storage. Good handling. Easy handsfree phonecalls."

"I have not had any problems with my well equipped, low priced car."

"It came with a lot of features that I thought at the time were only in more expensive cars."

"Very reliable. Minimal maintenance costs."

"The Elantra GT is very light weight & cabin noise levels are high. Low profile tires contribute to the stiff ride. The electric steering is laughably vague. For 2013 many features were standard equipment but for 2018/2019 many of those features now require buying packages at great cost (eg, heated outside mirrors, heated seats, fog lamps). Worst of all is having to replace the 6-speed manual transaxle @ less than 60K miles. At least it is covered under warranty but still shows Hyundai's quality is not as robust as it could be. Would I buy a new Elantra GT? No. I'm not even sure I'd consider any model Hyundai due to my experience with the only Hyundai dealer within 50 miles of my home."

"Decent value for what we paid the car. Six years old and very few problems"

"Good performance, low maintenance."

"Car has many features that would be associated with a more expensive car. An impressive list of safety features such as electronic brake force distribution, stability control, traction control, and ABS."

"Many small problems."

"Excellent acceleration and gas mileage. Very reliable and has not required anything other than routine service."

"Good value"

"In five years only minor repairs. Mostly wear items. The tires it came with do not have a lot of meat on them. I blew out two drivers side front tires on two separate occasions. Both time I hit a pothole. Great warranty."

"I believe it to be the best value in a car in regard to price, mileage and reliability"

"Started to get pricey but wanted a safe car with safety features for a new driver without being too pricey"

"Excellent value, we compared this car to several similar models by Toyota, Honda, etc. and this car has the same quality at a much lower price."

"Great gas mileage, looks great. Like the trunk size."

"Good reliability"

"Logical controls, accessible functions. Great car! Great MPG"

"No problems, I would buy this car again depending on reviews at that time."

"Cheap to buy, but expensive to maintain. Every time I take it in for service there is always something extra that need to be done. Parts fail faster than other cars I have owned."

"Compared to other cars this gave me the most for my money. Style, amenities, durability, all st a better price than any other in this category."

"it works everytime I use it"

"We bought this car at an end-of-a-season sale when we needed an extra car for our family. It was also reduced because it has a manual transmission. We were very pleased with the price, particularly since we purchased the car new."

"I love the car, good MPG, good excelation and lt looks great"

"When we bought this car new it offered a lot more items as standard equipment at a lower cost then competitors in this class."

"More creature comforts in relation to other vehicles in price class"

"For all the upgrades included with the price paid"

"It was a new purchase and the dealer was very forthcoming on any questios"

"This was an amazing car for the price, needs very few repairs, and drives like new with nearly 100,000 miles on it."

"I paid under $17,000 and after 5 years still have a new car with no mechanical problems and 5 years remaining on the warranty. The gas mileage is very good allowing me to go from Chicago to Trenton, N.J. with only one stop midway."

"Comfortable for a compact car, comes with good comfort package, cheap to own, repair, replace tires ect"

"very few mechanical issues car is economical to drive"

"This car has gorgeous exterior and interior styling, comfortable seating that fits your body, great reliability and good gas mileage - all for a great value."

"Amazing value- see previous response"

"I paid $13000 for this car. A good price."

"Great car for the money"

"I really like this car, mostly it was what I went in to the dealer looking for. However, I wanted a different color and I wanted a sunroof. The salesman told me they would put one in. They put one in alright, but I ended up paying for it and it was an after market and not the one that comes on this model from the factory. I felt ripped off. And, the salesman and service folks always tells me to give them perfect ratings on the satisfaction surveys so 1) they won't get in trouble, and 2) the"

"Lots of options were included with the base sticker price."

"5 year /60,000 mile everything warranty, 10 year/100,000 mile power train warranty. Many, many options included that would have cost big bucks on American mfr. cars. Outstanding gas mileage and car has a LOT of pep to it. Virtually problem free since new."

"Everyone in family likes it . Wife daughter me."

"more std. equip. than any in its class and less money. drives and handles very well. rear suspension seems a little soft on bumpy roads. 38 mpg on 2 lane hwys. and 34 on fast interstate. compared all in its class and it won easily."

"It had low profile tires and large wheels. I wanted regular tires, but was told that would not be possible. I had a blow out before I even had a thousand miles on the car. cost me over two hundred dollars for new tire. The blow out happened on a small pothole. The ride on the low profile tires was awful. When these tires where worn I replaced the rims with 16" rims and bought 16" tires (all 4) It now drives like DIFFERENT car. What an improvement, but at a high cost of OVER $1,200.00."

"The value of this car is outstanding ."

"See previous answer."

"My husband likes the value of his car and the built in navigation and phone features"

"Good basic car"

"Heated seats, very comfortable seats, direct injection engine, bluetooth, space front and back, warranty"

"$19500 for a solid well running vehicle."

"For the price I paid, the car included many "extras" that I would normally expect to pay extra for."

"A roomy car, great gas mileage, and a 10 year warranty."

"very good deal for the price."

"I used the gas efficiency factor as one of my biggest criteria and it was advertised as getting up to 39mpg and I have only seen up to 31 on a LONG road trip using cruise control and going the speed limit."

"Great value with dependability"

"I think that the value is good for the money, compared to similar models."

"I think for the cost the elantra was a good value...I liked the style ,economy...performance is ok."

"Good- Very small turning radius. Bad- when putting down the back seats to make a bed, the front seats can't be pushed back or reclined. Bad- the engine was replaced in less than 3 years (free of charge). Bad- visibility at night is poor due to the positioning of the headlights. Bad- visibility is poor because of the narrow back and side windows."

"the dealer charged to much for a second hand vehicle and then tried to sell me the extended warranty which it already had."

"Gas mileage is not as anticipated when the car was purchased. The suspension is rather stiff and does not handle rough roads well...very bumpy ride. The car does offer a lot a options like bluetooth, back-up camera, and pretty substantial power for its engine size/displacement."

"will never buy Hyundai again"

"Excellent buying price"

"As well as good original value, I am pleased with the low cost of maintaining the car, though I had an issue with the 24k brake exam cost recommended by the Dealer's service rep. After my complaint, the excessive cost was adjusted quickly."

"Amazing good MPG"

"good gas mileage"

"buying hyundai used makes a lot os sense."

"Mostly I am pleased that I was able to pay cash for the car and it had relatively low mileage."

"Car is very mistakenly advertised as being good with gas mileage"

"Great car. Good looking. Everything works. Good radio"

"It has been very dependable. Love the heated seats. A lot of road noise even with top dollar tires, but I really enjoy this car around town."

"Excellent price due to a large cash rebate."

"This was just what I was looking for and in the price range. All around use."

"Cargo space is good."

"Yes but GPS IS JUNK MU PORTABLE garland is much much better"

"It was a lot of car for the price I paid for it new, paying $16700 for a car with a list price of #19800"

"The car has been reliable. The ride is comfortable. It has enough power to get on the highway and is very good on gas. the trim is very good inside and out. It has plenty of room inside. It also has a 60K mile 5 yr bumper to bumper warranty."

"My 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT is a 4-door hatchback. It looks good to me and I love hatchbacks for their versatility and decent gas mileage."

"The car looks more expensive than it is; people have said that it looks more expensive. It looks sleek."

"Usually one of the best looking cars in the superstore lot"

"looks futuristic."

"Clean looks and I really like the white model"

"I am a very average person - size wise. This vehicle is the right size for me - everything is very convenient and the driving is very sporty, easy to steer and maneuver. I haul 2 grandchildren, ages 3 & 6 to and from places, 4 - 5 times per week, and it is so easy to get them in and out of their seats. Also, I like the trunk space and the ability to fold down the back seats to make a flat, large area when need be. I do wish that the driver's seat had a little more cushion. My husband likes the h"

"I think this car is one of the best looking cars on the road."

"The car looks great, all controls are easy to reach and well placed except for 2 things. The first is that the steering wheel always seems to block the speedometer for both my wife and I. The second is reaching some of the audio buttons are a bit far."

"Water stains seat covers and NOTHING satisfactorily cleans them. Have to purchase seat covers to make car look acceptable."

"A little road noise on this model that is not present in 2015 models or later"

"Lines are very attractive"

"Styling and design one of many reason I bought this car."

"Very stylish especially when it's red"

"Good styling"

"Functional styling, aerodynamic, cab-forward design provides excellent interior space."

"Love the lines, sleek, even our 4 door."

"The 2016 and older Elantras were such a nice looking car. Not sure why Hyundai changed the body with the 2017, it is awful."
