Used 2009 Hyundai Elantra Consumer Reviews
Wheel Wells Broken
I have 4,000 Kms on my new Hyundai and the wheel wells have cracked and are broken in the front driver's side and in the rear - both sides! Hyundai Canada will not consider this a warranty issue and will not honor repairing the car. The car was driven on gravel roads at temps or - 35 degrees. If the car should not be driven on gravel roads, that means the car cannot drive on 77% of the roads in Alberta!!!!! If this is what I have in two months driving how is the car going to look in two years? JD Powers are completely wrong with this vehicle. Will never buy another Hyundai.
Better Car
This vehicle is 100% solid. I have owned Toyota, Honda, Chevy, and Saturn. This vehicle is just as solid and well built if not better built than all other vehicles on the road. INCLUDING HONDA OR TOYOTA. Yes believe it or not. And there warranty program is the BEST in the nation. THIS IS A WONDERFUL VEHICLE
2 more inches of rear seat room
this car would basically be perfect just shrink the trunk like two inches and add like two more inches too the rear seat and you have the perfect car
Not disappointed
I purchased the top of the line Elantra (in Canada-limited edition) because of the ESC feature- but decided that the leather seats and sunroof and automatic climate control might be nice to have. I have thoroughly enjoyed the car so far- it drives beautifully and quietly and is responsive and roomy and very comfortable for driver and front seat passenger- no experience yet with someone in the back seat. The interior finish is first class and the layout of the dashboard and all features are consistent with a much higher priced vehicle. I checked out the competition- Corolla, Civic, Mazda3, Ford Focus and found the Elantra a better deal for the money and the 5 year/100,000 warranty is a plus.
Great car for a great price
My wife and I test drove pretty much every competitive small sedan. We finally came between the Kia Forte EX and the Elantra SE and went with the car we could get at the lowest price. They are identical in all features, but the Hyundai has larger alloy wheels and thus has a smoother ride. We purchased a black pearl SE manual with bluetooth and paid $14,100 walk out (not including cash for clunkers). Couldn't get Kia to get anywhere close. The Elantra SE is a perfect fit for us and has every feature we wanted. Bluetooth, cruise, steering wheel audio controls, sporty exterior, etc. For the price, nothing can beat it. #1 small sedan according to Consumer Report new car guide and it shows.
