Flawed design disables Cruise Control & other

Bought this Hyundai brand new in 2013 for my daughter's college car after test driving a few other hatch backs such as Mazda 3 and Honda. The value appeared to be there but after 5 years we are realizing the car is NOT as good as Japanese made cars that we have owned!! In fact, the poorly designed of Horn squeezes the Connector for the Cruise Control and it has stopped working! I believe this design has not disabled the Air Bag circuit with the Air-Bag indicator light is now ON all the time. This is a serious safety issue and since the Air Bag would not deploy during an accident. In short, Hyundai's "poor design" and "cheap materials" to keep the cost down which has impacted the overall quality of the car. We very much doubt we will buy another Hyundai and won't recommend it.

I have loved this car for close to 10 years , it has now 103,000 miles, everything that this car has in it works and performs as good as the day I drove it of the dealers lot, all the electronics and all of the mechanicals are excellent .

Average car, Nothing Special

Good car for the money. Great for getting around the city and parking. Quality interior. Not very comfortable for long trips on highway. Front brake rotors rusted badly and were making noise. Was told by Hyundai that rotors rusting is not covered under their warranty, car had only 32,000 miles. Brake rotors should not rust that badly with that mileage. Bought aftermarket rotors with coating and have had no further rust problems. Hyundai brake rotors have bad rating on internet for premature rust and warping. Mileage is poor for a car that small. My wife likes it but I would never buy another. There are much better choices out there like the new Mazda 3 hatchback and the Honda Civic hatch back. They are much better cars for the money.

Car shopping was insanely stressful for me. It was like everyone had something to say about all other makes except Hyundai. My GT is blue, black leather heated seats, and panoramic sunroof and obviously fell in love right away. For the features and mileage... this car was the most exciting and best choice for me. By no means though is this car for you if your concern is speed. To be completely honest, I feel the pickup on this vehicle is ehh. It’s really not that great. I think the speed is more than sufficient for me though. I am very happy with my purchase and likely to purchase another Elantra again. Also I think the seats are very comfortable but my brother doesn’t think so.

Hyundai Canada Customer Service Fail

My 2013 Hyundai Elantra in which I bought brand new from the dealership in August of 2012 has a leaking roof. I have performed all the required annual maintenance and cared for this vehicle impeccably. I expected better customer service and a willingness to work with you on the repair only to deny my claim for assistance. #faultyproduct #dontbuy
