Has a couple of ports for charging. Lots of room for storing glasses, lotions , flashlights near driver. Ride is pretty god for a relatively small and moderately priced vehicle. A bit of road noise ,from the tires, but just crank up the satellite radio that comes standard . Not the greatest of mpg, but you probably already know that. Pretty peppy if you take off the eco drive.

The Three Year Update-The Little Car That Couldn't

Car is now three years old -- gas mileage is still abysmal. How can such a small car get such awful gas mileage? None of my previous small or mid sized vehicles got such bad mileage. The longer I drive it the worse it gets. Handling is terrible and the hamsters that power the engine don't like attaining merging speeds in any kind of time that one would deem reasonable. Thought about changing wheels out but dealer said it would void the warranty. Stuck with the car for a while now with buyers remorse. This is my third and last Hyundai. Car is a year old, and I have braking problems on freeway on and off ramps - dealers thought "you are driving too fast," fix...driving 15-20 mph on exits/entrances, irking all the drivers piling up behind me to avoid hitting the brakes bc braking on a tight right causes car to skip and shimmy. HORRIBLE gas mileage, such a little car should do way way better. Noisy interior...have to crank up volume to hear hands free conversations bc of interior noise. DANGEROUS oem tires, with less than 10k miles, within two months two sidewall failures. Of course Hyundai takes no responsibility and sidewall failure is not the responsibility of the tire manufacture either. Lose either way. Not to mention to replace with decent tires is $600 - 800 dollars, not worth it on this little budget car's 17" rims, except it is necessary for safety. Upside, you have a dangerous, gas guzzling, cute as heck car....

I'm happy with my car so far I have it since new. Got enough power, roomy inside, Good value for the money you pay. My only concern is oil consumption, I reported to the dealer. They started to do oil consumption fallow up check it up every 1,000 km and after two or three oil change they determined it was normal. I guess the car consume 1/2 liter every 6,000 km. For me it's no normal so I have to keep an eye to the oil level.

Starting with the USB port does not charge Iphones. In less then 3000 miles had to replace 2 front tires in my Elantra GT due too the tires being so low and not able to handle medium size potholes. If you live in a state with no pothole you will be fine but here in the Northeast after blowing the tire you will paranoid thinking if I am going to be left on the road again.The AM/FM reception is very poor. Gas mileage average at the moment is about 20 MPG.Also ask if you have a problem with the vehicle how long it will take to look at the vehicle( my dealer about 2 weeks ). 3d not available on the navigation system.
