Trunk often open in the night; window is too small; parts cost and insurance premium are much higher
I bought my Elantra two years ago. The car itself is not bad. But the engine power seems weak. When I accelerate, the noise is loud.
The car window is small, the field of vision is not wide enough. However, these are all tolerable.
One thing makes me very uncomfortable is, I park my car on the street, when I put the key in my pocket, I found many times the trunk was opened in the morning, luckily I don't have valuables in the trunk. The key is also too big. It needs improvement.
My battery died after 36100 miles; the warranty expires after 36000 miles. I found the Hyundai battery is so expensive. My previous car battery costed me about $75; but Hyundai battery costs more than $200. In addition, I can not jump start the battery with my jump starter. I had to tow the car to the dealer. Luckily the tow is still covered. But next time, after another 36000 miles, it will not be covered any more. Can you imagine you need to spend $400+ just to change a battery? The battery is also much harder to replace comparing to my previous car.
