ELANTRA HAS ENGINE PROBLEMS

The engine is making a loud metal sound when you first start it up. The service personnel said they knew exactly what the problem was. In researching the issue, I have found many others with the same engine issue. The engine is still under warranty, however, I was notified that the engine would need to be torn down to investigate. I was told they may or may not cover it under warranty. If they did not, I would have to pay to have the engine put back together. Since it is a known problem, they should take care of it under the "100,000 mile warranty". I hate it for the dealership, but, I cannot recommend buying a Hyundai based on my experience with the car.

Lemon!!!

I'm not sure how many time I brought the car for same engine code problems. Can't even defend on it anymore.Now I'm closed to 100000 or 10 years warranty. Hopefully it won't happen to my 2017 Tucson SE.

Good starter car with asterisks

This was one of the few cars I bought new. I purchased it when gas in my area was almost $4.00 per gallon, expecting to own it for 7 years. I now have 118k miles on it after 9 years. The vehicle has held up pretty well in all but 2 areas: The engine began knocking at 9,500 miles, the "Next Track" button on the steering wheel failed early on and the worst issue is that this vehicle will dent in every hail storm or casual door ding it encounters. I've had my KIA van and this car in the driveway during a small hailstorm and the KIA has yet to show a hail dent while the Elantra was estimated (by the insurance adjustor) to have about 750 dents that effectively totaled the car. In subsequent storms, the damage is compounded and I have about 20 door dings and dents from parking lots. Again, the other cars I have owned do not have these scars and they are in the same environments.

Excellent Ride

My Elantra I bought used, but whoever owned it before put in a very nice audio system. The steering (in my opinion of course) is amazing. You feel like you have full control of the car without having to use much effort to guide the steering wheel left or right. Braking is on point, while the acceleration takes time to build it. Given it is a fuel economy car, so the hp isn't as strong anyway. My model is the limited edition so the heated leather seats are an excellent must have during the winter. I will agree on the cabin size being small. I'm 5'10 and my head is close to brushing the ceiling. The backseat leg room is tight as most say, but it isn't much of a problem. Again, this is a fuel economy car so size and power aren't a priority. I would recommend finding an Elantra is 17" rims so it matches the body of the Elantra. Makes it look sporty and not as fat. Summing it up, the 2011 Elantra is an excellent car if you are looking for fuel saving (cost too) and modern style ride. Don't expect as much leg room or horsepower though.

I LOVE MY HUNDAI ELANTRA LIMITED

My 2011 Hyundai is a joy to drive. It has been a very reliable vehicle. It drives extremely smoothly on the highway. I thought I was going around 55, however the speedometer registered 110. It takes off with the feel of a sports car, and the amenities are the same as much more expensive vehicles.

Exceptional Vehicle

I have a 2011 Elantra. I follow the guidelines for preventative maintenance and only let the Hyundai dealership service my car. When I had a major repair due to a road debris hazard, the service department did an excellent job fixing the problem in a timely manner.

Reliable

Have had a very positive experience with my vehicle. Economic, dependable and reliable! The gas mileage is pretty good, especially since gas prices keep changing! I am glad that choosing an Elantra was the wisest choice!

2011 Elantra

I have been very pleased with my 2011 Hyundai Elantra. I find it comfortable and dependable. Very happy it only requires the use of regular gas. I would consider another Hyundai for a future automobile.

I love my car.

If I ever got another new car I would get another Hyundai. I have nothing else to say why do I have to come up with 200 words. The lady who took care of me was just wonderful Donna Noonan would love to get her again when I come back.

2011 elantra gls

This is an average car for under $20,000. It is not fun to drive and gas mileage is ok. There is no spare tire included! The new design and styling is very pretty and sleek. The warranty offer seems to be excellent.

Wouldn’t recommend

Traded it off due to engine knocking at 105k . I only put 22k on it and always maintance it. Why would they sell a certified pre own car if they knew about the engine issues with theses cars . It’s all over the Internet wish I would’ve researched more before I bought it but was in a bind for a car at the time

2011 Elantra

I have been very pleased with the performance, comfort and miles per gallon of my Elantra. So happy it runs on regular gas, no more premium gas prices for me. Heated leather seats are comfortable and have held up well.

excellent vehicle

I am very happy with my Hyundai. It is a very good car. In the future, I would buy another Hyundai because it is reliable. I am so happy I do not have my 2002 Saturn. I would never buy a Saturn.

Totally Worth It

I bought this car, because I was over/under my Passat that was costing me a fortune. I needed a safe car, with good mileage and the luxury items I needed, for a fair price. Here I am, 7 years later, still with my Hyundai Elantra Limited. Totally worth every penny from the day I purchased it to the maintenance I’ve had on it to keep it going. I highly recommend.

I love it

I love the pearl white color, 2011 overall design (interior and exterior). My most favorite is the CD player and radio stations with the best speakers system. The music sounds best. I bought this car just because the sound of the speakers is strong and clear when I first test-drive the car.

Engine went at 48,000 miles

A 2011 with 48,000 miles had the engine go. Hyundai would not honor the 100,000 powertrain because I was not the original owner. We bought the car used from a little old lady who died with 11,000 miles on it. At 48,000 the bearing went bad on the 3rd cylinder. Only after the dealer fought with them did they cover parts. The dealer said they had seen this before on these cars.

6-speed Elantra

Wonderful car. 96,000 miles and no mechanical problems. Good gas mileage, and fun to drive the six-speed. Great value for the price. Car is eight years old and drives like new. Also, still very stylish looking compared to new models.

Love it, except

I love everything about my car expect the sqweeky brakes. I bought it 3 years ago and I noticed sqweeky brakes a week or so after I bought it. Since then, I’ve had them look at the brakes multiple times. They’ve been replaced 3 times, cleaned, and I’ve been told there’s nothing wrong with them multiple times. The sqweek can be annoying. Other than that. It’s been great for me. I haven’t had a lot of issues. I love my car.

My best purchase

I bought this car in 2011 as flood salvage. Fixed it myself other than replacing ABS module by dealer. This car has not given me any problem. I have put 100K moles on it and only main problem I see is code P0711. Not bad to get some issues after 100k miles. I am looking forward to another salvage Hyundai or Kia
