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.

  Purchased new 2007 Never a problem - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
  By happy elantra owner - August 10 - 8:14 am

  Bought new in 2007, had no mechanical issues. Great service from Fitzgerald Hyundai. Excellent ride quality. Received excellent trade in value for vehicle as it had low miles and was very clean. I bought expecting a very reliable car, and that is what I had for 8 years. Traded it in and got over $1500 above average price for true value trade in. All city dtiving.

  Ages quickly-lost top gear at 117,500 miles - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
  By nwmn1 - August 24 - 11:26 am

  I was enamored with my 2007 Elantra when I purchased it certified used with 35,000 miles in 2009. I commute 5 hrs one way to work each week. The cars suspension ages quickly, and it seems I go through tires faster than on other vehicles? I accepted all of that until a mid-night commute in rural MN found the car bucking and losing top gear. Im now unable to go more than 50mph without a new buck every 10-15 miles. Transmission rebuild isnt worth it for the dents and plastic undercarriage breakage from living on dirt roads. I had planned on driving this car into the ground miles-wise. I expected many more years to do so . . .

  Great Car no problems!!!!! - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
  By hellblitz - June 10 - 9:08 pm

  The Car runs Great now going on its fifth year and doing nutting but basic maintenance. Never had a break down. The one defect to this car I would say is the Brakes. The work great and better then most cars Ive driven but they are small which means that you have to change them every 10k to 15k miles depending on how hard you break.

  4 Years Later and 63,000 Miles - Fantastic - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
  By denverman - April 27 - 5:40 pm

  I bought the car new in 2007 for only $14,900 out the door. The car has been excellent, no issues at all. I had the 60K service done, regular oil changes, one new set of tires, a new battery, and a couple of sets of wiper blades. Except for the battery going out, the car has never let me down. It looks great on the inside but the outside is a little boring. I would love to step up to the 2012 Genesis but I hate to have a car payment. My car is paid for and it works great. Ive not had any issues driving in the snow. Ill probably have this car for another trouble free 4 years. Im 63 with plenty of headroom.

  Love it for the most part. - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
  By laura_s - April 20 - 5:42 pm

  Ive 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.

  A Good Car - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
  By rusl - May 13 - 11:32 am

  I 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.

  2007 Hyundai Elantra with Paint Problems - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
  By frustatedhyundaiuser - January 17 - 4:10 pm

  2007 Hyundai Elantra (fiery red color), 32k miles, “under warranty”, with sections of peeling clear coat and localized areas of fracturing paint, penetrating through the clear coat & top coat on the hood, roof, and trunk. Car was bought brand new in late 2007 (previous year’s model). Within one year, these issues began appearing, and have progressively gotten worse. Now, there are 50+ total spots throughout the car’s paint surface.

  Great car for the price - 2007 Hyundai Elantra
  By Lonnie - January 1 - 9:41 pm

  I bought this car as a commuter mostly because of the gas mileage. I was fully expecting to have to make allowances for driving an "economy" car but have been completely surprised in all respects. People are going to laugh but I actually drive my Elantra on weekends now while my 07 Caddy CTS spends most of the time in the garage. Absolutely no problems with nearly 45000 miles on the clock. I added aftermarket tinting and put new, larger tires on it with some aftermarket wheels just for appearance sake but theres not much else Id change about this car. All this for under 13000 out the door. Great job, Hyundai!

  By willie - January 4 - 8:34 pm

  Overall the car is great! Excellent mileage, though a better engine and tranny could really get u going, great for commute/long distance. Plenty of leg space. For a $12k car, you cant go wrong! Forget about trading it in after 4 years!
