Overview & Reviews
The 2007 Hyundai Elantra sedan is completely redesigned. Horsepower hasn't increased, but interior room and fuel economy have improved significantly. The five-door hatchback is out of the lineup for now but will return later in the model cycle.
- Smooth and secure ride, responsive handling, attractive cabin design, adult-friendly backseat, tight construction, all major safety features standard, low price, long warranty.
- Engine is noisy at mid-to-high rpm, a few low-grade interior plastics.

Love it for the most part. - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
By laura_s - April 20 - 5:42 pmIve had my 2007 Elantra for a 1 year and 8 months now. I purchased it with 55,000 mi on it for $6,900, and I feel like I got a pretty dang good deal. There are a few issues that are quite annoying, but nothing that is huge. I would definitely recommend this car. It would be best if it has a good warranty, though.

airbags do not deploy - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
By used2love - March 15 - 6:11 pmI took my Hyundai in for service to fix my airbag warning light 5 times. After the fifth time, I complained that I dont feel safe driving my car, and I dont want my wife driving it, when the airbags dont work. They agreed, and offered us a rental while they looked deeper into the problem. Turns out, the standard wiring for the airbags under the driver seat is defective and had to be replaced entirely. BUT, the airbags do NOT work in most 2007 Elantras. Google "2007 Elantra Airbag" for real horror stories about the airbags not deploying in serious (and fatal) accidents!! Do Not Buy 2007 Hyundai Elantra before reviewing this necessary information. This is Your life.

Great little car with poor resale value - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
By tpayne - November 28 - 2:00 amWe bought this car in January 2007, paying cash. Needed to get larger car and went to trade it in Nov. 2010. All the dealers including Hyundai wont give us more than 6,000. for the car. It was in excellent condition with 55,000 miles. We were unhappy with the value dropping $11,000 in 3 years. That is insane. We never had any trouble with the car and the features were great for the price. Whoever rates car resale values needs to rethink Hyundai models. Bottom line great car for the money, if you plan on keeping it till the wheels fall off.

Very dependable and fun car - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
By bill - October 29 - 2:00 amWe have 49,000 carefree miles now. Only reg maint. 4 new tires at 42,000 miles wiper blades, just normal wear parts. Best mpg 40, average 35 mpg. No rattles or squeaks. Controls very easy to use. If in snow definitely need snow tires. Brakes still good. Good solid car for the money. Only minus is low resale which I think is unfair since I think it is just as good as Honda and Toyota.

Happy College student - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
By Happy Elantra owner - September 3 - 2:00 amI bought this beauty after months of deliberation between the civic, corolla, honda fit and accent. For 12,000, I got it used with 19k mi on it. In general, this car is very reliable, love the blue lighting, interior space. Friends with the corolla and civic love to ride in this car as it is just Bigger from the inside. It rides very well. I have taken 1000 mi + road trips in this car and it has not given any problems. It has tackled rain, sun and snow like a beast. I would highly recommend this affordable, fuel-thrifty, comfortable hyundai to anyone. I am sold with Hyundais dedication to making good cars, and am looking at buying the Genesis coupe as soon as I get out of Grad school.

I love my Elantra! - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
By Dani - July 15 - 3:43 pmI got my 2007 Hyundai Elantra a little over a month ago and I love it! It is a great car, fun to drive, comfy, GREAT sound system, more storage than I can fill and great on gas, I average 32-35 mpg city and got almost 40 when I drove a 300 mile trip a few weeks ago. I love the cruise control and it is a manual so it accelerates quickly. It has a lot of great features. I would recommend this car for everyone. I am a college student and this summer I am babysitting. This car fits two car seats in the back comfortably. I will also appreciate all the space when I am coming back and forth from school this fall. Great car at a great price!

Fun to drive, pretty and good on gas - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
By KC - May 13 - 8:45 pmMy car is great. I had 2 door handles on the same side of car break in the first yr, but warranty cvd it. Must have been a bad batch! This car sips gas, I get 30 mpg regularly. Ive driven over 50,000 miles on it (20,000 on it when we bought it used in 2008) & enjoyed every minute of it. We used to rent cars to go visit family - no more. Ours is more comfy and has XM too! Paint does scratch faster, body has a few bumps (8 yo son=damage!) but its really a great buy. The trunk is HUGE & thats why I purchased it. I carry lots of equipment for work. I can keep it in this car, AND go get a few groceries too! Really, its an amazing trunk! Wish the carpet wasnt tan, but it cleans up pretty well.

A Good Car - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
By rusl - May 13 - 11:32 amI have had this car for almost three years now and have got 51,000 miles on it. I average around 34 highway and 26 city. The only problems so far were the air conditioning vents breaking and the dealership replaced those immediately. Hyundai has been really good standing behind their warranty. The only real problem that I have is the car uses oil. It uses about 3/4 quart every 5000 miles.

Best little car - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
By Brian B. - March 24 - 9:09 pmIve had 4 hyundais. Two were Accents and 2 were Elantras. All were exceptional in quality and performance. My newest is a 2007 Elantra GLS. The fuel economy, performance, and vehicle quality are the best you will get for the money! This car well be around for years to come. You just cant beat it.
