Love the Elantra, hate the GPS update requirement
I have been driving the Elantra for 5 1/2 years now. I love this great little car, and recommended it to my nephew who also bought one! However, updating the GPS on the Elantra is a major tedious and expensive task that has to be done at least once a year or it gets out of date. The fact that I have to take the car in and pay $200 every year to have my GPS updated is a serious misstep by Hyundai. It should be a) automatically updated while I am driving and b) *FREE*! My GPS on my smart phone was free to download and updates itself automatically - all for free. You can update the Hyundai GPS manually from the web using a USB drive (which I did), but that still costs $199 ($145 when it's on sale), requires you to purchase a minimum 16GB USB drive, is very tedious and takes the better part of an entire day of your life - just to update the silly GPS. Based on this, I give Hyundai 5 stars for the Elantra and 1 Star for the GPS update requirement.
