Review
We've owned our Elantra for a year now and we love driving it daily. It's sporty and very quick to respond to sudden turns and stops. We dropped from a Honda Accord to this car and at first were worried about the size, but after a few days, we quickly feel in love with it. The savings on gas is amazing, the trunk space is massive and at 6'2" tall, I have plenty of leg and head room in either the driver or passenger seat. It handles well in all weather conditions and is super quiet. We haven't had any issues and never mind taking it in for an oil change with inspection since the warranty is so extensive. I recommend this car to anyone needing a solid, dependable vehicle.

Just traded our 2010 Elantra.Why ?Why not. new style new color . and the best fact we liked our last Elantra . The dealership and I dont say this much but,they made it work. really. we only had 35,500 miles on last car ,gave us great trade in . and in the end walked into new car
as if it was nothing. trade in covered loan ,payment stayed the same .. But most of all we liked the service ,and also the car .. the 2010 was a big question mark for us . our first hyundai. We owned Honda,toyota , many times
over the years . But this elantra . These two Elantras
are the best
bang for the buck. saved alot of money . The 2013 is no question a nicer car.

I have bought this car just over one year ago, we do live in cold climate ( Ontario), I am not sure if this car was built for this climate, as the car has done only 25000 KM, the dealership tells me I need new sets of tires and my break are rusted, I was shocked to hear I have to spend over $1400 for a car that is one year old and Hyundai Canada refused to cover the cost, they said to me the tires are not part of the car and I have to go to the tire manufacturer , and when I did approached them, they refused to pay for the tires, this is a car that is been used for inner city and was kept indoor at all times, and I am 56 years old, so I was not racing with

I have had this car for 3 weeks and I love it. I was trying to choose between Mazda 3, Honda Civic, Ford, Kia, Subaru Impreza, Toyota Corolla , Nisan... and few othes...
At the end I had to pich between Honda Cic and Elantra - and I chose the Elantra.
So I saved $3,000 , got a better looking car, more leg space, much better warranty , 5 years of road side assistance, 2 years of free oil change. The quality is great it
drives great- feels very sporty.

Traded a 2004 Sonata and this car is just as comfortable as the Sonata. Very comfortable and supportive seats. Performance is great and the milage for a car that is not broken in yet varies from 33 mpg to 42 mpg.

I bought this car last week as a college student thinking I was going to get great gas mileage. Every review i read was great, but of course I never ran across anything about the bad MPG ratings. Well it has about 600 miles on it and it is getting about 25 average mpg and this is with about half my driving on the freeway. That is 8 under the average mpg it should be getting. Its sad, and Hyundai doesn't care, nor does the dealership at hilltop hyundai in richmond, california. All in all its a great car other than the fact it does not do what it is advertised as.

Performance -- Feels a bit sluggish at low RPMs, but that gets you the high mpg, but pushing it up into the higher RPMs gives you plenty of performance, and the sports mode helps me keep in the RPM range I want without having to get a fully manual car.
Comfort -- I feel as comfortable in this as I do in a Buick, but I don't feel like I'm driving a boat!
Value -- For a "more full" sedan with packed features, it's great value! But if I were buying for myself, I find it hard justifying spending more on the Elantra vs. the Accent.
Fun: It's not really fun, but it gets you point A to point B wonderfully.
Design: A bit funky, but looks modern and advanced. Interior is more subtle.
Quality: A+

Purchased my Elantra in July and so far I love every bit of the car. With the stock hankooks the interior noise was pretty audible, especially at speeds over 55 mph. Just recently I switched over to new Continental Extreme Contact DWS tires and road noise is almost eliminated. I named my Elantra Serenity since her ride is very peaceful and relaxing. For being a commuter car, the Elantra is quite peppy when pushed. I'm impressed with the fuel economy, currently at 33.5 mpg average, which is higher then the EPA rating. I also drive without the active ECO feature. My gps has an instant mpg readout and at 70 mph it reads from 39-45+ mpg depending on how flat the road is.

I have 2,780 miles on the car I boght in Oct./12. My mpg was between 24 and 32 since I bought the car until today when I got 38.1 mpg. I'm noticing that as the car breaks in, the mpg is getting higher and the performance is getting better.
It's a little bumpy on uneven streets or highway, but I can overlook that aspect of the car because of the great price and features this car has. I took 3 weeks researching and nothing came close to the Elantra GLS in price and features. Great car!
I'll keep updating my reviews as time goes on.
