  2017 Hyundai Elantra Ltd (Love the Deal) - 2017 Hyundai Elantra
  By William Gilmore - September 25 - 10:07 am

  Not easy entry for Extra-Large people. Otherwise, its an affordable car pretending to be a luxury/sports car and it make you believe it.

  I LOVE this CAR! - 2017 Hyundai Elantra
  By Kimmy G. - August 5 - 3:21 pm

  I was looking for a car with upgraded technology- My must haves were Back up camera, Navigation, lane change alerts and heated seats. I got the best of all of these along with dual A/C which means I can stop arguing with my spouse about the interior temperature. I cannot believe we got all this in an Elantra! This is my 3rd Elantra (2008/2012) and I honestly wasnt going to get another until I saw this beauty on the lot (shimmery beige). My 2012 got horrible gas mileage, so i wasnt expecting much. To my amazement, I have been getting 33-35 mpg every tank, so that is a mix of all driving. I dont gun it to accelerate, but my husband does, so it is truly a combination of all driving. This week, 35.7! I am not reading the MPG that is on the screen, I am calculating it when I fill my tank, based on miles i drove, so it is completely accurate! It took me awhile to figure out the navigation, but it high quality and great graphics. My only tiny complaint, is that the screen is so sensitive, it is not easy to touch and scroll. I still havent gotten used to that. It has way better acceleration than my 08I have never been happier with a car. Definitely a "BUY!"

  Very pleased so far. Had car 4 months. - 2017 Hyundai Elantra
  By ElantraownerfromFL - May 16 - 12:29 am

  Got a great Black Friday deal for a new SE. Was happy with my 2 Kia Optimas I had in the past. Like Kia / Hyundai warranty. I like everything about my Elantra, except the fact that since the car was on the BOAT for a looong time, from Korea, the tires had FLAT SPOTTING, which impacted the cars ride. Test drive carefully. Dealer wouldnt fix. Frustrating. And, VERY ANNOYING and FRUSTRATED, that the BACK UP camera was not included in the SE model.

  Great car - 2017 Hyundai Elantra
  By Paul - December 24 - 6:31 am

  This car is a huge imporvement over the last generation Elantra. It is a much more refined vehicle. Hyundai did a lot of work making this car more quiet, with the use of stronger steel and thicker glass, the driving feel is more hushed and pleasant. The interior is very modern, yet practical. I use android auto and it works flawlessly. I have been averaging over 44 mpg driving mostly highway miles, which is awesome. Oh by the way I forgot to mention, I paid only 17k for a limited model. Overall this is a great car for the money

  Awesome compact - 2017 Hyundai Elantra
  By Steve franklin - December 10 - 4:53 pm

  VERY NICE CAR! Younger people dont know that in the 70s 80s that small cars had no options to speak of .A/C was a huge option. No power windows ,door locks ,cruise control etc.... My first new car was a1979 Toyota Celica. Those were great cars and sold like hotcakes! Little 22 r 4 cyl 5 speed stick and dealer added Ac. Hp rating 91!! Oh and Manuel steering. Loved it! Drove it everywhere including 3 trips from so cal to the east coast. Up mountain roads, no problem fast forward to 2016 and people bemoan a compact with only 147 Hp. Really? And all the options any one could want. And reiewers complain it has a little wind noise,some road noise. They do know this is a moving car right?. And some say it rides ok at 55 .please it drives just fine at 80 85 mph all day long! It sure does on my trips to Vegas and back! In this owners opinion, it is an awesome well equipped comfortable competent car, an economy car thats light years ahead of those that came before them. Not one thing that man ever built is perfect. Just buy it. Enjoy it take care of it.and it should serve you well for many many years.

  Value Edition is not a value - 2017 Hyundai Elantra
  By Derek Linville - November 29 - 2:18 pm

  Pros: great gas mileage on one trip was averaging 50 miles to the gallon in Economy Mode. Comfort is really good, electronics is good and easy to use. Cons: Very poor acceleration nomatter the driving mode your in, braking is OK but can be better, 6 speed transmission shifts weird at times.

  2017 Hyundai Elantra too much too little - 2017 Hyundai Elantra
  By gary knott - October 9 - 10:54 pm

  1. The raised center console gets in the way when shifting, and when just driving. 2. I dont want keyless doors and trunk, and there is no option for "manual". 3. The electronic odometer/etc. is too cluttered and mult-purpose. give me one spot for each function and minimize "cute" inscrutable" symbols. 4. Tire pressure sensors are great, but tell me the actual pressures when I "ask" to see them. 5. Ditto with engine coolant temp. give me the number in Farenheit. (You could add an oil temp output too.)

  For the price, it includes lots of features and functions well. It lives up to its advertising. Very good fuel economy. The warranty is tops.

  Really Good Value For The Price. - 2017 Hyundai Elantra
  By PC757 - July 1 - 6:15 am

  The last Hyundai I owned was a 2006 Santa Fe, the old style one with the bulging fenders, Hyundai quality has certainly gone up. I owned that Santa Fe for over 10 years and 129,000 miles, and I admittedly did not really take good care of it, put gas in it, changed the oil, usually well over the recommended 7,500 mile interval. My total out of pocket cost for repairs other than routine maintenance and tires was $257.00 and that was being a neglectful owner. I wanted a car this time not an SUV, and I have been doing a lot of traveling across state back and forth so I wanted something with good gas mileage but inexpensive and had good safety ratings. I have been reading reviews on the Elantra over the past 10 months or so since it was first introduced in 2016. Looked at the safety ratings on IIHS in the US and at Europes safety testing. Test drove the Elantra , Corolla, Civic and Mazda 3. I really do not like the styling of the Toyota at all, The Civic was nice but no value for the amount of money they charge and didnt really care for the low roof line look. I liked the Mazda 3 but I was looking more for a comfortable driving car rather than a sporty car, and equipped the same the Mazda was still $1,000 more. The Elantra Value Edition, with the Hyundai incentives, pretty much put me in a well equipped, good looking, smooth riding car that gets pretty decent gas mileage and has good crash test results for the price of a used compact car. The car is pretty nice looking, the color Phantom Black, is actually like a black metallic with the windows tinted in the right shade (more black looking than gray, but not overly dark) it looks sweet. Im averaging 37 mpg. and its fast enough for me. I have not experienced any of this lag time Ive read about on here from a couple of other people, I hit the gas the car goes. I can not say that for a Chevy Cruze I rented while out of town, the Turbo lag on that car was terrible.
