Best Car Ever!

I purchased a 2012 Hyundai Elantra, in June of 2013 and is was used with 14,000 miles. I now have 99,000 miles on it and besides tires and oil change maintenance, the only thing I've ever had to replace is the battery! Last week had to take it in for a extended warranty repair, but that's the ONLY time my car has had to be worked on! I will def purchase another Hyundai product! No doubt!

Nice and simple

Overall, car drives real smooth. I like the amount of space it has inside. Just exactly what I was looking for. If you get the LE kind, it has seat warmers. But for the price, it’s a great buy without a doubt. Glad I made this purchase

Reliable vehicle

Reliable vehicle. I commute great distances & have owned my Elantra for 7 years. I feel confident in getting to my destinations without having car problems. I also feel safe too especially after having an accident whereby I T-boned a pick up truck and no one was hurt in my vehicle.

Elantra

My car is still a great car with no major issues love it. I thought the price was great for all of the features that it came with. I'm super happy with my car. At my dealership the service department take care of all of my maintenance.

Have never liked it too many recalls on problems

would not purchase another one, gas mpg miss advertised, tires lasted less than 20.000 miles, battery also died before 3 years. very noisy from road,seat on passenger feel like sitting in floor, no way to change positions, just feels cheap

Close, but no Cigar!

I would have given the car five stars, if it weren't for the integrity of the paint, which has chipped and peeled ALL OVER the car, making it an embarrassing eyesore for me to drive. Additionally, at the time Hyundai misrepresented the average miles per gallon. They were supposed to make up for it, but I have yet to see the payment, as the situation has been pending at least five years due to court appeals.

Great Little Car

I have over 100,000 miles on this little car and had no mechanical problems. Today we had about 8 inches of snow. I have "all weather tires" and that little car made it uphill and out of our driveway before we were plowed out.

Love my Elantra

I love my Elantra. It is comfortable. I love the way it drives. We are getting close to having 95,000 miles on our car and have not had any mechanical issues, We hope to keep this car for quite awhile longer.

Excellent auto, performs well, looks nice, good styling, appeals to the eye. Looks sporty, rides good, quiet, nice interior. Good paint job, can't beat the price, holds resale value well. It's a keeper. Love it.

Love my car but minor issues

I love my car but I feel like sun visors were made very cheap and have both broke, I feel like if they were made with fabric it would have been better and the caps that go over wheel locks have came off driving.

It has been a wonderful car

It has been an excellent car for over six years and suited my needs perfectly. There have been no major issues, as a matter of fact, none at all. Keep up the good work and keep Hyundai products at excellent consistentency.

My most reliable andtrouble free car --ever !!

With seven years and eighty thousand miles behind me, I am truly amazed at the qual;ity of this 2012 Elantra Limited. This American-assembled car still looks like new thanks to it's incredible clear-coat finish over good quality color coatings. You'll often see silver-colored cars built by competitors with a dull even chalky finish. Not a Hyundai. The fit and finish is remarkable, as is the overall "tightness" of the car. NO rattles or squeaking. That six-speed transmission is wonderfully smooth and quiet. The 148 hp engine is amazing in both its power and economy. When taking a road trip, if I remember to put good quality alcohol-free gas in the car, and put the cruise control at 68mph, it will produce 40mpg with regularity. The leather seating looks like new; I'm still amazed by the "little things" Hyundai designed into this car. The tiny lights in literally every switch you'd need to use at night -- wonderful safety and convenience feature. Seats are great for local travel; a lumbar support would be nice for highway trips. I've been told the tire noise that invades the 2012 Elantra's cabin ay higher speeds has been dampened. That would be nice. Overall, in the twenty-thousand dollar neighborhood, this car still ranks as the best, most reliable and trouble free car I have ever owned and that includes mostly cars that cost more money when new.

Great economical car

I bought the car at 70k miles and have put almost 100k in two and half years. Never had a single issue with the car only regular required servicing. Best part of it's a manual shift that shifts like a knife in butter. Never loved a car like I do this one.

Car review

I love ❤️ my Elantra. Great on gas, can create my own 4wheel drive, for better traction. Purchased and extended warranty. Definitely the car ? to have. I can’t say enough about the overall comfort as well. Plus the red color of the car when it’s cleaned and waxed. Would definitely purchase a second one, if the opportunity presented itself.

2012 Elantra limited

After almost 7 years and 144,000 miles I still like the curb appeal of my Elantra and with relatively few maintenance repairs the car performed well. We have had 5 Hyundais so far and I will buy another.

Never again

Hyunday sells cars knowing their engine has a manufacturing problem does not inform the client of that problem and will try to have the client pick up the cost of repair. Very dissatisfied with Hyundai and will never buy another Hyundai

I like my Elantra, it drives light and its just the right size for me.

I like to drive my Elantra through sun and rain, it has not given me any problems. I park it in the garage so I keep it dust free. once in a while I get a good professional carwash. I also have a good gas milage.

Love it !

My Elantra Unlimited has performed beautifully for six years ! I love it ! Have had to replace battery twice and replaced tires once. Enjoy the compact size along with the luxury, fully appointed interior, similar to much much expensive sedans.
