Used 2007 Hyundai Elantra Consumer Reviews
Great Little Car
I bought the Elantra SE in carbon gray. I knew nothing of Hyundais prior to this purchase. I didn't even know anyone who owned one. I wanted something small with good mileage with all the nifty stuff I hadn't opted for (okay - couldn't afford) in my previous car. This one beat the Corolla and the Civic hands down in value. I've had it 3 months and it is just plain fun to drive. I only drive it to a commuter lot 4 miles from home and I wish I got to drive it further.
Love My Elantra
I haven't had it for very long but I am very happy with my Elantra. The engine is very quiet and the ride is smooth. It has a lot of nice touches on the interior.
Best Car I Ever Owned
I love my 07 Elantra, is interior and handling is amazing, I drive all over and it's fun to drive. My wife owns an 01 Elantra and the improvements over the models are noticable sitting next to each other. I bought the manual, and it takes a second to get used to but the 07 is very refined compaired to the 01 manual. The Elantra is a very powerful car and for the size of the car. And the gas mileage can not be beat, with 328 miles to the tank, I go two plus weeks on one tank. This Elantra will be with me for a long time.
2007 Hyundai Elantra with Paint Problems
2007 Hyundai Elantra (fiery red color), 32k miles, under warranty, with sections of peeling clear coat and localized areas of fracturing paint, penetrating through the clear coat & top coat on the hood, roof, and trunk. Car was bought brand new in late 2007 (previous years model). Within one year, these issues began appearing, and have progressively gotten worse. Now, there are 50+ total spots throughout the cars paint surface.
Elantra wins
The Civic performs better and that is it. Safety, quality, interior, leg room, and really every feature other than performance belongs to the Elantra so for me the choice was easy. I don't need to race this car, I have my 9 second quarter mile Camaro for that.
