As whole, Elantra is affordable car for any purpose

Body's Aerodynamic is great, and as whole body design is nice. Acceleration of Elantra is really fun because of having 1800 horse power which is totally appropriate with body weight . The seats are comfortable. Trunk capacity is enough for a four door car.

Good Solid Car

I've had my car for five years and it has performed well. The lack of spare tire and the non-functioning EFT (what is that?) has been bothersome, but it continues to be a solid performing car. I will probably not buy another and look at other makes/model cars.

2012 with a 92,000 miles.

I have my Elentra for over 6 years. I love my car. It gives my great mileage. It hasn't given me any problems. I really enjoy my car. It's spacious both inside and has a huge trunk. I will be purchasing another Hyundai in a few years.

Smooth, Efficient and Cost Effective

I've had my vehicle since August 2013 and I must say that I love my car. The Elantra gets great fuel economy ratings. The Elantra Eco is even more efficient: 32 mpg in the city and 40 mpg on the highway. The Elantra is a good car in a very high competitive class. Its combination of quality and value is one of the best in the class.

I love this car!

I used to be a Honda owner, but my Elantra is a nicer car. I will definitely be a Hyundai owner from now on! I bought this car used, but it was just as nice as a new one. Very happy with my Elantra!

2012 Hyundai Elantra

The 2012 Hyundai Elantra is very well built car. It has great gas mileage especially with the rising cost of fuel. The Hyundai Elantra has a very comfortable ride easy to handle on the highway and in town. It is nicely equipped with Bluetooth and XM satellite radio. The 2012 Hyundai Elantra has a very sporty feel and look. I will definitely purchase another Hyundai.

New Motor etc

I have had basically everything major replaced on my car including the motor which I had to argue to get. Took well over a year. And 2 years to get the leaking sunroof fixed. Only reason that happened is because I took a video of the water pouring on my drivers seat and said I was putting it on facebook. Was a factory defect where the rubber had a fold in it. Car still smells moldy.

Great car.

Bought my 2012 Elantra new in August 2011.. No problems with it, general maintenance has all that I have done on the car. Just repaired for recall which was not a safety hazard. Best car I have ever owned.

Love My Elantra

Except for the slow acceleration, I love everything about my Elantra—the way it looks, the way it handles, the accessories, the comfort, the gas mileage. I highly recommend this car to anyone looking for comfort and reliability.

Love my '12 Elantra

Car has been fantastic....now approaching 80,000 for a 6 year old and still looks new and rides great. Mileage ranges 33 mixed to 40 mpg on freeway. Car is attractive, nice "red" color and I love the tan/black cloth interior. Plenty of room and love the dashboard. Sorry to say (for the dealership) but I'm not giving it up for a long time!!!! Feed it gas, follow maintenance schedule, and it is as faithful as my Scottish Terrier (who loves getting rides in it).

I hate my Elantra

My 2012 Elanta developed a steering problem a couple of years ago. Hyundai America has denied my request to have this poor design/manufacturing problem fixed under warranty. An internet search showed me that this is a common problem with the Elantra. The steering won't drive straight, you have to constantly make adjustments since it feels like it sticks. So every time I drove this POS I am remained just how much I hate this car. I will never buy another Hyundai as long as I live!!!!! @#!@$!@$#!

Great car

Lots of features and excellent reliability. Though a compact car, the interior is plenty large enough for five, but preferably four, passengers. The styling, interior and exterior, is closely coordinated and beautifully executed.

Hyundai Haven

This is my second Hyundai, a 2012 Elantra. My first Hyndai was a 2003 Tiburon, and I have enjoyed both cars. From Culver City Imports to LA Hyundai at LAX, then onto Hooman Hyundai, and currently Nissani Brothers Hyundai, I always know a Hyundai dealership is nearby. I'll keep on driving with Hyundai.

Love this car.

We needed a car good on gas and getting back and forth from appointment, shopping and doing errands. This car does it all. Love the GPS and sun roof. It's been a pretty good car only wish it had all wheel drive.

Efficient

I am already looking forward to getting my next car from Hyundai. I always talk about how my Elantra has been our best car so far. I’ve also talked to my froends how the service department of Hyundai is the best! I only hope that next time when I go there to get my next SUV that the sales staff would be more accommodating and not arrogant!

Love my Hyundai Elantra

I Love my Hyundai Elantra that I purchased in the fall of 2012. It now has 80,000 miles and it has been absolutely trouble free. It gets 33-34 mpg and still looks as good as it did on the day I bought it. Would I buy another one, you bet, but first I want to enjoy at least another 100,000 miles on this one, I love driving it so much. The service I get on it is great, the service department is so knowledgeable, trustworthy and treat me superbly every time I bring it in. I highly recommend this vehicle, it is relatively inexpensive and you will be pleased with it for years.
