Reviews for Hyundai Elantra
Decent car with a high price
Had problems with brakes and bearings as soon as the CarMax warranty expired. Took to Hyundai for warranty work but was not covered on warranty. Also, car has excessive humidity inside when windows are rolled up. Suspect car was flood damaged under previous ownership.
Pros
- Fuel Economy:
- Interior Space:
- Styling:
We love the car. It is our fourth Hyundai.
Very economical, has power when needed, easy to drive, has navigation system, back-up camera and all the extras. Hyundai automobiles we have found to be most dependable and comfortable. This is a second car for us and one our son uses; it fits our purposes quite well.
Pros
- Fuel Economy:
- Ride and Handling:
- Safety:
Best car I've owned
This car is a great for the everyday commute, as well as long distance travel. With excellent gas milage, steady acceleration, and control, as well as a comfortable interior, this car is everything I could ask for and more. Driving this car is a dream and it has treated me very well since day one.
Pros
- Fuel Economy: It uses such little gas over long periods of travel.
- Power: It has multiple different modes, that increase or decrease the amount of power you need.
- Technology and Entertainment: The sound system is amazing, and has Bluetooth as well as Sirius XM.
Cons
- Styling: The seats are very comfortable, but they stain very easier. However, it is easy to clean.
