Hyundai Elantra

"Needs more power and better handling. The Sport model offers these features, but does not allow you to add the many safety features that are important to us."

"land change, collision avoidance and good acceleration"

"Acceleration is fine. Ride is a bit on the harsh side."

"The acceleration is excellent. I am somewhat dissatisfied with the response to the cruise control."

"The acceleration is fine for me. Handling I think is great"

"Excellent steering and handling."

"Great car, acceleration up a hill is lacking. It is fine from a stop light."

"The safety features are awesome and make my driving experience superior to any car I have ever driven. Excellent pickup and control make the car fun to drive."

"Being only a 4 cyl. it can be noisy when accelerating quickly"

"Don’t like the lack of acceleration."

"For a young man or women in college this would be a perfect starter car. Backup camera, android play, good room inside and nice to drive."

"It doesn't accerate fast enough"

"Three driving modes. Standard, eco and sport. Sport is clearly effect in city driving becAuse of rapid aeleration etc.Hahdling very good."

"It doesn't have enough power."

"Warning system is excellent"

"It has 3 driving modes. If I want to make a quick acceleration I use the sport mode. If I'm on an interstate highway and use the economy mode I nearly always get around a 43 mpg. The third mode is sort of a combination of the other two modes."

"If someone else drives her, I can put her back to my specs for driving in a snap"

"Acceleration is sluggish at best. It’s a 2liter, 4 cylinder engine and my previous car wa a 4.6 liter 6 cylinder engine, so I guess I’m a little underwhelmed by the Hyundai’s performance."

"good acceleration and steering, mileage, very responsive."

"The Hyundai accelerates quickly and smoothly, and has plenty of power to get out of any tight situations. It handles very responsively."

"Slow, loud, with lots of road noise"

"The car drives great but it is too low! The first week I had it a car stop had exposed rebar and it tore the bottom of the car. Also, it is very noisy when travelling at on highways."

"excellent transportation, comfortable, economic, nice looking and an excellent value for the price."

"Acceration at low end on a turn is poor, you have to accelerate hard to get it to move. The ride is hard."

"This Elantra Eco is marketed as an economy compact sedan. But it will accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 7.7 seconds, faster than the regular Elantra with a bigger 2 liter engine. The small 1.4 liter Eco engine allows for the high fuel economy but the turbocharger offers instant response to the gas pedal. It is an amazing little engine. The dual clutch transmission offers faster shifts than trying to speed shift a manual transmission. Because this car is basically a stick shift car that happens to be shifted automatically, there is some hesitation starting in first gear from a dead stop in slow traffic. This is not a car to use for commuting to work if you have a long commute in very heavy, slow moving rush hour traffic. If you have no traffic and you just floor the gas pedal from a dead stop, the dual clutch has no problem with a very quick acceleration to whatever your top speed target. It will really surprise you the first time you really need the power. I sure was very surprised and very happy to know I got a free high performance car when I thought I just got a high mpg sedan. The Android Auto gave me excellent free navigation through my Motorola smart phone and enjoyed my chosen songs from my Spotify playlist through the cars excellent speakers, also coming through my smart phone. There is nothing that is bad about this car. I would have preferred a hatch back like a Prius and I wanted to buy the new Hyundai Ioniq but that car was not discounted because it had just been introduced and new models get full msrp list price. I figured that I will never save enough on gas if I had bought the Ioniq at full price compared to the $5600 less I paid for the Elantra Eco even if gas goes to $5 per gallon."

"I just like the overall experience at the price. It’s reliable and stylish."

"Excellent handling, noticed this feature when driving on mountain passes."

"I find the the car drives great, but I find the steering loose. The car doees not always track properly."

"poor acceleration on steep hills."

"doesn't have enough power when trying to merge with traffic on 401 highway. Poor passing power you better be sure you have enough room to pass."

"This vehicle rides very nicely while still being capable slicing into a curve. It's no BMW, but it offers the ride comfort of a Toyota Corolla with the handling of a Ford Fusion, a nice combination."

"SMOOTH ACCELERATION, USING ECON MODE MOSTLY: HAVE LOTS OF UPHILL GRADES IN MY EVERYDAY DRIVING - HAVE AUTO TRANSMISSION - SMOOTH SHIFTING ON THE GRADES TOO. HANDELING EASY, NOT TOO TIGHT, DEFINATELY NOT LOOSE. I'M NOT PULLING TO EITHER DIRECTION OR HAVE ANY WOBBLE. VERY PLEASED HERE."

"everything on this car works fine accept the phone part. It does not understand or it can't hear you. It is pane in the butt."

"Acceleration is great, even better in sport mode."

"Amazing acceleration! Has been helpful in many situations. Braking is also exceptional. The driving modes really do change performance. I have been tempted to consider trying it on a road course. (I would not be here had I followed thru!)(My wife would not be happy at all)"

"Transmission seems to hesitate in ECO mode when increasing speed. I haven’t driven in the SPORT mode. Or checked the transmission. It handles good for me."

"I am pleased with the handling and acceleration of this car."

"* Acceleration is adequate; but could be improved. * Tiny bit noisy in highway. * Overall handling and safety features are A+."

"Good acceleration and precise steering wheel."

"Goid all riund for tge money"

"It is not very fast but it is acceptable. The torque is good for most passing needs and makes up for the low hp. It handles well and I love all of the safety features that came with the car - the rear cross traffic alert, the blind spot monitor, crash protection, etc. The navigation screen is very well thought out. The mpg is excellent so far."

"Smooth and quick"

"The Elantra ride and handling are great, but on California's concrete freeways that have the groove payment, it feels like you are hydroplaning, even though the conditions are dry."

"The acceleration is acceptable and the handling is very good on the smooth and straight Florida roads."

"Handles very well and accelation is good."

"Great pickup, zippy little car. Really like it."

"Needs more power so that engine is not staring to get u going"

"Love the warning features."

"The vehicle is surprisingly responsive for an economy car, but the acceleration and handling could be a bit more responsive & sporty."

"quick to respond,"

"Car was purchased to be towed behind RV. Picked Sport model which turned out to be a blast to drive and get better than expected miliage"

"SAME AS LAST ANSWER"

"it accelerates reasonably well and handles very good."

"Extremely comfortable extremely smooth ride strong acceleration when needed. Warning systems fantastic. Android Auto wonderful."

"Has nice pep for small engine"

"The car rides great, much better than my last Elantra. It's quiet and takes bumps in the road well. Also, there are no squeaks or rattles."

"Compared to my 2012 Elantra Limited, this 2017 accelerates quietly and handles much more surely over rough roads"

"Acceleration, handling, smooth ride."

"the sport mode makes the car quite feisty."

"So far all is fine"

"Very nice ride...comfortable seats...outstanding infotainment center...ease of use...very user friendly controls...love the mineral beiget color"

"Road noise is really bad and getting worse all the time."

"comfortable ride however the road noise is a bit excessive"

"Very uncomfortable. In fact if you apply the brakes hard there is a piece in the seat back that pushes into your back."

"Great riding car. Thicker glass and almost 400 ft of adhesives used in it's construction aid to the solidity and quietness of the Elantra."

"Seats are hard and slick. Car is quiet."

"The car feels much more like a bigger car. It is very comfortable."

"Very comfortable seats; have made long trips with little discomfort. Ride is smooth, noise level is low and not ditracting."

"seats are not as comfortable as fusion.controling the up /down of the seats is also awkward"

"seats are terrible, ride very uncomfortable, lots of noise from the engine"

"Comfortable for long periods. Easy to adjust. Supportive."

"Vehicle is noisy inside when driving highway speeds"

"definitely not a car for a taller person. Because of the narrow contour of the side windows I often bump my head getting in the vehicle"

"Rides VERY hard over bumps and rough roads. I inflate the tires a couple pounds under the recommended pressures to soften it up a bit."

"First cloth seats. Will never have cloth seats again! They look awful! Seats are a little narrow - overall comfortable."

"This is a very comfortable car and is remarkably smooth in its operation. The seats are very good, although lateral support is not the best. The engine noise is well suppressed except under hard acceleration - but that is fine with me. I want to hear the engine on acceleration and do not understand why reviewers complain about this. The only negative aspect of this car is the road noise on certain pavements. It can seem horrendous because the car is so quiet in all other circumstances."

"Car is small so it is not easy for me to get in. Have to lower my head"

"Overall noise level aren't acceptable"

"I'm very satisfied with all aspects of our Elantra, including seats, noise, and ride."

"For a small car the ride is quiet. The car came with heated cloth seats. Excellent in winter. Fast heating. The ride is responsive and the car handles well in all weather."

"Seats are very comfortable. Lumbar control on driver seat is excellent. Perforated seats are cool in summer. Ride is somewhat harsh on bumpy sections of roadway. Very quiet."

"Comfortable even on 300 mile trips-especially for a small car with 2 people-and with the gas mileage, it is terrific-plus the value we got using the CR True car buying program"

"The passenger seat cannot be raised. I need it higher when I am passenger. Hyundai still needs to do more to control road noise, little improvement since my 2009 Hyundai Elantra. Seat lumber support is great but actual seat comfort not as good as 2009 which seemed to be a bit longer in thigh area and didn't have a hard ridge just before the knees."

"use of low profile noisy tires not a good choice for the "Limited" model"

"I'M LARGE AND TALL. SEAT FITS AND SUPPORTS WELL. ADJUSTMENTS TO SEAT AND STEERING PERFECT -- SO MUCH SPACE. MOST OF ANY, ( I'M 64 - AND I MEAN ANY!) CAR I'VE EVER DRIVEN. CAN GET IN AND OUT OF CAR EASILY - BIG DEAL FOR ME DURING HIP AND KNEE ISSUE. SHOCKS EXCELLENT. SMOOTH ACCELERATION. BRAKES HAVE MINOR NOISE ( A LITTLE CONCERN HERE - WILL BE WATCHING - LIVE IN RURAL AREA - I BRAKE VERY LITTLE AND THE CAR IS SO NEW. )"

"A finely tuned suspension and nimble steering do wonders for this car. Quiet in operation and responsive on the road, Hyundai has done marvels with the Elantra over the past ten years."

"Very satisfied, but find the suspension not quite as good as previous Elantra models owned. A slightly rougher ride."

"I wish there was less road noise --- my only objection with the car."

"Noisy"

"The passenger seat is not as comfortable or adjustable as the driver's seat."

"Front seats have no lower back support (base model). There is a lot of road noise."

"I'm 5'11" 230lbs, seats need more side bolsters."

"There is more seat and headroom in an Elantra than in any other vehicle of comparable size of another brand. In addition to HyundI i researched and physically test drove Toyota, Mazda, and Nissan. Hyundai was more comfortable to me than all of those. The Elantra drives and rides solid. It feels like a larger vehicle with the economy of a small car."

"It is a very noisy, unsettled ride when going over even the slightest bumps. There is a great deal of road noise. And this is the Limited model. I could only imaging how bad the lower level trims are. It is a shame because otherwise this is a well-styled, good looking car with a lot for the money."

"Slightly more road noise than I would prefer but otherwise a good road experience with all the safety factors."

"The car is noisy. It's a stiff ride."

"This car is remarkably refined - a much better car than my 2014 Elantra. The seats are good - if not quite as good as the Accent seats but still I am pleased. There is no engine noise unless you really push the engine hard. That is good design in my opinion. You should hear the engine under hard acceleration. It is a very quiet car except on the really badly rutted freeway lanes of Portland when road noise intrudes."

"3 driving modes, quiet ride"

"This car has the worse ride, over bumps or rough roads, of any car I've ever owned. If I had driven it a bit more on rough roads before I bought it, I would have looked for a different car. They recommend 36 pounds of air in the tires (probably to improve the gas mileage rating) but I keep the pressures at about 30 (cold) so the ride is a bit more tolorable. For the size tires on this car, and the car's weight, I think 30 is fine and 36 is WAY too high."

"Very quiet for a compact lower price auto. Handles well and suspension is tight but not jarring. Great on normal roads."

"Nothing. Great car"

"The front seats are not as comfortable as I would like."

"front seats very uncomfortable , engine loud noise when pushing it into traffic or passing another car, ride is uncomfortable on uneven roads"

"The seats are "comfortable enough" but the overall road noise at highway speeds is a bit too high for my liking. The ride is good, but the car needs more insulation or sound buffering to reduce road noise."

"your report claims noise in the car, this car is very quiet as good as my 09 lexus, it recorded 43.3 mpg on a recent highway trip, seat are very comfortable."

"Although the car is noon my experience with my 2013 Elantra leads me to think that the 2017 Elantra is going to be just as good or better I am very satisfied with this model"

"The head rest could be a little lower. I'm 5'5", and it's a little high for me. The road noise is a little more noticeable than on the Sonata I had before this."

"Passenger seat can be elevated by a hand pump which my wife likes because she is vertically challenged."

"Took a 2000 mile trip & ergonomics of seats (i suppose) gave me total comfort. Did not have leg discomfort, back comfort-- totally comfortable the entire trip. Not the best car for tall people though."

"SEATS ARE LEATHER AND VERY COMFORTABLE. CLIMATE CONTROL IS EXCELLENT. QUIET. RIDES HARDER BECAUSE OF LARGER TIRES"

"Great gas mileage"

"It is a fantastic well built car, has all the bells and whistles. Very comfortable to drive and get in and out with the memory seats is great. The car does a good job at keeping outside noises out. But most of all I love the mpg in the city around 31 and on the highway 40+."

"Seats are a bit stiff"

"Pre-set is perfect for my short stature. Quietest vehicle ever! Beautiful design, easy and reliable handling and responsiveness. Easily the best care I have ever owned."

"Outstanding value! Great look, good handling, an overall good car for me. Easy to get in and out of - something I was looking for. Has no disc player - helped me learn to use Bluetooth."

"The fact that it comes with a 100,000 mile or 10 year warranty is most impressive and when I have had an occasion to use their roadside assistance program the response was exceptionally quick."

"I have been very pleased."

"Great vehicle for the price. Perfect car for my daughter."

"I got a lot of tech for the price."

"Since I lease this car, I am very satisfied with my monthly payment."

"We bought a demo model, hence a reduced price. Also since we owned another Hyundai, we got another discount"

"Economy and reliable"

"Hyundai often offers steep discounts on slower selling models. My new Elantra Eco was discounted $4000 below msrp. I bought it for its excellent hiway fuel economy and it has absolutely delivered better mpg than my Prius V wagon on the hiway. It is a lot quieter riding on the hiway. But the most amazing unexpected benefit is the ample power on the hiway from the tiny 1.4 liter turbocharged engine. I am able to pass trucks or cars at 60 mph so fast with no big roar from the engine like I am used to with my Prius and still not affect my high mpg numbers. This Eco model acts more like my previous high performance cars which included a 1986 Saab 9000 turbo, 1997 BMW M3 4 door sports sedan, and 1998 Volvo T5 turbo wagon and yet it is marketed as a fuel efficient compact sedan that delivers 40 mpg on the hiway. So whoever buys this model will get a free high performance sports sedan hiding in an economical compact car. My car has averaged 44.4 mpg over the 9300 miles of ownership so far, which is almost the same as the 44.9 mpg over 21000 miles of ownership for my 2012 Toyota Prius V wagon."

"Hyundai supports handicapped drivers access to driving by contributing $1000 for adaptive controls."

"Hyundai give you a great value for the price. We got heated seats, backup camera, free months of Sirius radio, sunroof all at $500 more than we paid for our 2004 Hyundai Elantra, which we replaced with this and was a good value then."

"Really good price"

"Excellent value"

"High end electronics, smooth drive train. Surprising at price level. Roomy. Reliability ratings higg"

"The car keeps its good looks, both styling and finishing, even as new model come along. Comfortable, efficient and roomy are great assets in any car and the Elantra seems to excel in these areas."

"As far as I can tell, I got most of the bells and whistles that more expensive cars have."

"It is amazing deal in its class. I got my vehicle brand new for $5,000 less than MSRP. Shopping around among different Hyundai dealers and expanding my geographic search to 100 miles made a huge difference. I am in a very large multi-city metro area."

"A lot of car for the money and the best warranty."

"Great buy"

"Features and options that should have cost much more. Lots of convenience and comfort for a "compact" car."

"Comfortable ride , very good gas mileage, very reasonable cost for all the options available that I ourchased"

"Choosing between Kia Forte and Elantra made easy by Hyundai offering back up camera, alloy wheels and Apple Car Play, none of which Forte offered."

"The quality and the amount of technology offered on this car for the money is great value. Most other makes charge a lot more money for the same tech features (Apple Car Play, Blind-spot sensors, parking sensors, etc.)."

"* Excellent Safety system including AEB, blind spot detection, lane control, intelligent cruise control etc., normally found in expensive luxury cars priced double. * Car is slightly noisy in highway."

"Based on our experience with a single previous Elantra we bought another one. To date, this newer car has more bells and whistles than our previous one and rides well. My wife is a realtor and uses this car daily of course and she loves the ride and comfort. We have had no issues with this car and the warranty and price fit our budget and lifestyle quite well!"

"Shop around"

"This car is an excellent value, with standard features that are often added-cost options on other vehicles, and with quality components and materials."

"The car has built in sensors that warn me if another car or person is approach from behind. It also alerts me if someone is in my blind spot. These and other safety features make it a wonderful car for me"

"similarly equipped cars from other brands cost 10-20 % more"

"I bought the Limited Edition with the Ultimate package for just under $20,000 ($7,000 under MSRP) and am so pleased to have the extra safety features you get with this option - including automatic emergency breaking, blind spot warning, premium audio, etc. I would not have paid full price for this but with this huge discount, the car is a bargain."

"We went for the lease option and negotiated more miles per calendar year and a lower down payment. all are demands where met. So we also turned around and leased a Elantra for are son in college and that worked out just as well."

"I received a vehicle that looks good, drives fine, and is comfortable for a very reasonable price."

"Was a very good deal, plus has a good warranty."

"The dealer gave us a much improved price compared to the window sticker. This car filled the requirements at the lowest price and supplied all our needs for a second car."

"good stylish comfortable, good mileage."

"Hyundai is the best value on the market today. If I paid the same for another vehicle it would be stripped down basic. The bells and whistles are standard on a Hyundai."

"Shop apples to apples and their is no comparison."

"I believe the Hyundai is the best priced vehicle for all the conveniences and styling"

"All systems are good-you get for what you pay for"

"The hyundai 2017 had the best value of amenities for the price. Not bad driving, just noise wind and tires make noise.otherwise the car rides well. Going over uneven roads the car does not take bumps well."

"When I purchased this vehicle the dealer took over $6000 off the MSRP or sticker price without a trade. This is the definition of the word value. You would never get that much off a Toyota or Honda"

"We used the CR car buying program-end price/value was terrific-loves the car, the gas mileage and value. Is our 2nd Elantra"

"This is an excellent vehicle for the price. We have the "Limited" model with the technology package. There are many important safety features that are very important. We are VERY impressed with this car. Historically we have had Honda, Acura, and Infiniti. The Hyundai Elantra is a much better value."

"this car is a very good value and I love it, but I formerly leased a 2014 Elantra that had a lot of bells and whistles on it and this one doesn't have those things, like heated seats, cruise, etc. yet it cost me almost as much as the one that had more features. Didn't like that."

"I'm tiny, only car I've found that adjusts to my size perfectly."

"Excellent car, Excellent MPG's (I can get 65+ MPG when hyper-miling). The seats are not that comfortable but it was bought for my son and he likes it."

"Overall, I remain impressed with this Hyundai given the price paid and it's performance. It has been a solid performer to this point in its life."

"Lot's of standard features."

"Again the safety features and options for price paid is amazing!"

"First ever lease. First car for son. Good solid car with a good lease price."

"Quiet, comfortable and a great value paid 17k for a Limited model"

"Traded in a Hyundai Sonata and received money back,lower car insurance rates andlower gas prices, due to better gas mileage."

"Lots of value for the money. Lots of "extras" (like front seat heaters). We only paid about $2000 more for the 2017 than we did for our traded-in 2004."

"This car is an unbelievable value but especially if you drive back roads. When trying to hyper-mile I was able to get 67 MPG over a 45 mile course and I can get 45-50 almost anytime. The seats are not as comfortable as I need but for my son it is just fine."

"A stylish, reliable small car. Excellent gas mileage. Is missing some features that you would think were standard (no cruise Control) but I wanted a bare bones vehicle to save money."

"Excellent quality with numerous safety and convenient features at a very competitive price."

"Great features at a great price."

"Lots of features that would cost more in other models."

"great price for what I got"

"came with extra features I like the safety features"

"Lots of room, comfort and size for the money."

"Shopped and test drove other makes before making choice. Felt that the Elantra gave us what we desired at a better price."

"A good around town car wth good rear seating. Highway mileage is above 40 miles per gallon but a little noisy. Service is readily available nationwide."

"cheap priced to get around locally with good gas mileage"

"Goid value for new driver"

"Since I own a Hyundai we got a great price on this vehicle. We paid $ 16,000 for the popular package equipped car. The car is still at the dealers lot."

"Based on price this a real value vehicle. Has many of the latest high tech features such as blind spot detection, rear clearence detection and in addition great infotainment features such as navagation, bluetooth, bluelink and apple play. Really a great car fot the money."

"Depending on what Hyundai you go to you can get a better price with true car website."

"It's a lot of car for the money."

"Our Hyundia Elantra was all new design for 2017. It is a very good value for the money and it has been worry free since purchase. The only thing I can think of is the car play app does not work with all android phones including my Samsung Galaxy Note5. The 2017 has a new engine and gearbox which work well together especially in Sport Mode that extends the shift points and keeps the motor at higher rpm for crisper responses in traffic. Very good choice for a sedan."
