Overall, the car is reliable. However, I've had to replace the odometer/dash twice (w/in 60K miles) due to the numbers disappearing on me. Not sure if due to malfunction, heat/sun, etc... But it's annoying because the fix resets the odometer back to 0. I really miss my old 2005 Hyundai (accent). It was made better than this car. Other than that, the car has been reliable. No major problems aside from odometer. Does not accelerate quickly. Would I buy one again? Unfortunately, no.
Nice inexpensive wagon

Bought the car as I needed to transport my 2 German Shepherds. With the back seats down, it accomodates them well. The SE trim has a stiffer ride than the GLS which I like. Looks very smart in Chili pepper red with the upgraded wheels. Have 3000 miles on the clock now. Averaging 25 mpg in mixed driving and up to 31 on a 500 mile trip to San Diego. The car is nicely put together with no sqeaks or rattles. Idles very smoothly and is entertaining to corner with when the dogs are not in the back! Leather seating surfaces are by far the way to go as they are easy to keep clean especially from dog hair!

So far I really like this car, it is a economy car so I don't expect a great ride, but I like the features , like heated seats, and just about every little added feature there is, i used to drive a truck and just got tired of filling the tank up, Now I just drive by the gas station and smile.
Sporty Lite Station Wagon

I bought the 2011 Elantra Touring recently and think it is a nice car so far. It is reasonably priced and nice- looking. The steering and braking are excellent with the new Electronic Stability Control. Hyundai did a good job of updating the car and creating what is essentially a small station wagon. It looks more like a station wagon than a hatchback and has a huge amount of space for a compact car. Overall I like the car!
Great little family car that can really hold gear!

Overall, we love this car - I was looking for a smaller around-town car with decent mileage that could also hold quite a bit of gear for family vacations. We have packed this car to the gills and my Boy Scout son has noted that you can fit more gear in back than in the Scoutmaster's Honda CRV. Great legroom and headroom in both the front and especially in the back for adults. Low windows in back so that kids and smaller adults can see out (we didn't know that was a potential problem until we were shopping!) Only complaints are the odometer fading out (seems this is a common problem and yes, we had it replaced and the second one did it too) and overall it feels a little cheap inside - the cloth drivers seat developed a hole fairly quickly and handles, doors, etc. just feel less than substantial. (Then again, this car is fairly inexpensive!) It now has more than 100,000 miles (tough to know exactly due to odometer issues!) and is going strong - it has needed very little maintenance. I do wish it got better mileage overall though - seems like a car its size should get better mileage.
