A fantastic value, and what a true hatchback should be.

I test drove all available 5 door hatchbacks on the market right now, and ended up with the Elantra GT. It was a toss up between it or the Ford Focus for me. What swayed me was the styling, including the interior. Nice! This car sets the bar for style and good looks. Also the warranties and standard feature set can't be beat. Although I did opt for the touch and go package, which includes keyless entry with push button start, sport suspension and 17 inch wheels. Hyundai has come a long way since the Excel, and I couldn't be happier with my decision. Toyota & Honda better do some homework, especially with their styling. Hyundais' are much better looking, inside and out.

As the title states. This car has had no problems and has been successful as my go-to reliable daily driver. I run this car hard, every day and it keeps on giving. Another great thing is the fact that it came stock with foglamps, bluetooth (which allows me to receive hands-free calls, listen to music which is controlled by steering wheel controls, run gps all from one source), heated seats, power everything, and alloy wheels. 10/10, would buy again.

I leased the car brand new back in 2013, (I will never lease again and regret that choice but that has nothing to do with the car itself), had upgraded from a 2009 Hyundai Accent. I was really excited about the panoramic sunroof, backup camera, built-in GPS, push button start, all the extra bells and whistles which drew me to this car while still being in my price range. I haven't had any issues with it, just regular maintenance is the only time I've had to take it in except something with the power train had to be repaired, which luckily the car is still under the 10 year/100,000 mile warranty so it cost me nothing and that was after 7 years of having the car already. Not to mention I just changed the battery for the first time since I got the car so that surprisingly lasted about 7-8 years. It's great on gas and has a good amount of power. The windows and mirrors are placed well to eliminate blind spots. The seating is very roomy, for a car that looks so small on the outside, it has a good amount of leg space and the front seats have a lot of span for adjusting, I'm short so that doesn't matter to me, but for those who are vertically challenged in small cars it may provide more comfort. The back seats fold down nicely for a flat spot in the back when going on trips or hauling small furniture. My fiance' refers to it as a go-cart since it drives around good and is zippy in traffic, easy to maneuver and get around, has an eco and sport mode. Nice sound system, I'm not one to listen to loud music but it works great. I've put about 80k miles on it now, taken it on long road trips and short ones, does great, but not comfortable to sleep in the back when the seats are folded down if wanting to car camp. *Update- Have now had the vehicle for almost 10 years, still no issues and just regular maintenance since I posted the original review. Although due to the pandemic, I was working at home and still do a few days a week so I've only put about 6,000 miles on it in the last 2 years - including a long road trip. It's been nice to have during inflation of gas prices as a full tank seems to go a long ways. The only reason I want to sell it is because I go out to the woods & outdoor activities a lot and want something with AWD/4WD and more room for camping gear and sleeping in. Good car for people who live in the city, easy to park and fit in small spots.

The 2013 Hyundai Elantra 4 door hatch back...This was my daughters first nice car bought new 8 years ago. Sharp looking inside and out. Lots of leg room, even for her 6’1 male friend. Very comfortable and cozy. Runs like a champ, gets around like any average car in the snow ,never cost a penny in repairs besides preventative stuff. Of course it’s not for everyone but she would buy another Hyundai in a heartbeat. I myself can’t say enough about this car.

Disappointing fuel economy, but I still LOVE it

What initially drove me to look at the GT was the fuel economy, but what sold me was the sleek styling and comfortable roomy interior. I am 6'3 and have ample head and leg room. The leather seats are very comfortable. And the car just looks sexy. I got it in red with tan leather and the style package, and it's just beautiful. It is visually far more appealing than any other car in it's class, imo. The only issue I have with it is the disappointing fuel economy. I have only had it for a little less than a month, but it's averaging about 25-26 mpg with a substantial amount of highway driving. I've only had it for a month, and put about 1k miles on it. I also live in a congested area.
