Used 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT 4dr Hatchback (2.0L 4cyl 6M) Consumer Reviews
Best yet!
I only have a couple hundred miles on the odo but here is my initial review. Comfortable but the seats could be a little wider and have more leg support. It has the smoothest shifting manual I have ever driven which is good because I prefer automatic for a daily driver. Picked the car up for 15,900 after rebates. It has the style package with Leather. Ride is fantastic and I love the selectable steering feel. Gas mileage has been 30mpg in mixed driving and its not even broken in. Bluetooth and voice activation work perfectly.
Biggest bang for your buck/with a catch
So I’ve hade my 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT with manual transmission for about 4.5 years. It currently has 91k on it. First the good: cabin is quiet and solid. The material inside is of food quality. The handling is tolerable. Mine supposedly has sport tune suspension. I feel German cars handle better. Know the bad: my catalytic converters went bad. Not sure why. The interesting part is I have to buy from the dealer and the assembly cost is $990. There is one approved after market CAT but does not have the O2 port. But I live in California and the state finds a way get your money. Also, the car is way under powered. It does get a little more pick up with premium unleaded but that adds cost and I specifically went for a car the ran on unleaded regular. Overall I was happy with the car until I had to sink $1k into it because of the CAT problem.

Elantra Mantra
The Hyundai Elantra GT is basically a comfortable and enjoyable vehicle; easy and comfortable to handle on the road and it gives good mpg. Even though I did not purchase one with the many luxury features I enjoy driving it. My son loved ECO feature and thinks it made a difference in the MPG. I am not excited of that feature, because it seems to me that I get the same whether its on or off. I enjoy driving this vehicle now although at first it seemed to be a little lower than normal. It took me a little while to get used to sitting so close to the road, that might have been so because I've been seating high for a few years in my old trucks and loving it! In any case, I got used to the Elantra GT and its features and now I;m enjoying driving it. I like and the comfortable seats and especially the sound system. The brakes are really there when needed and the hatchback holds plenty. I love the steering wheel, it's comfortable to hold onto. I am not a fan of the way in which the dashboard connects to the windshield. It seems unusual and awkward to reach. A few times I find myself struggling to retrieve an item that slid toward the front and somehow is very hard to reach - pen, note pad, paper or even sun glasses. The forward movement at times may have caused whatever it is to wedge into the narrow slanting front. If the item happens to be the size of a credit card, then prepare to pry and struggle for a while to retrieve it! The Elantra GT is an overall good, comfortable vehicle - Not much fancy features, but in my opinion, you get your money's worth .

Hyundai Elantra GT
This car has everything. Electric seats. Heated seats with lumbar support. Passenger and driver side and seat airbags. Blue tooth. Two USB ports and an additional outlet dedicated to an iPod. Controls on the steering wheel. A rear windshield wiper. Large storage in the hatchback. The storage compartment has a cover to hide what you have in it, but it can be removed, and the rear seats folded down to give you a larger storage area. I believe the windows are tinted. The rear view mirror has special controls on it. The Driver's side view mirror has a smaller mirror in it. The stereo has a nice sound with pre-set buttons. The controls are very easy to learn. It's keyless entry and keyless start. A lot of extras. And I got it at a great price. It was listed on line for $2000 less than the sticker price and the Dealership (Lester Glenn Hyundai) honored the on-line price and was very eager to work with me.

Worst vehicle on the road
Don’t buy this car, seriously don’t, I’ve had more work done to this car than the entire kardashian family, first was the transmission, lost 5th gear. It was whatever at the time because it was under warranty, then the motor goes out 3 months later with a head seal gasket being blown, next to go was the clutch 2 days after the motor came back and the car was fixed, following this was the ecu, so basically new car right ? Wrong, I’m getting ready to put a third motor in this car, because it’s cheaper than buying a new one. And honestly it’s astonishing the amount of work I’ve had done on this car, my local Hyundai dealer is absolutely trash, and the manufacturer of this car is just as bad. Save yourself 13 grand and buy a Honda.
