My old 03 Sonata was excellent so I went for another Hyundai when shopping for a used car. I came across this 2010 Elantra. The dealer was shady and lied to me about various aspects of the car (I was an idiot in a rush and they took advantage of that). While it has been in 3 accidents, the fit and finish is much better than the Corolla I test drove especially the interior. It looks a bit more expensive than it is plus it has soft touch materials on the armrest, dash, and I got it with only 108,000 in Jan of 2019 and I've put 14,000 on it since then. There was one out of the blue repair which was a steering coupler ($290 at dealer). It's a known issue and recall my car wasn't a part of. Other than that, it's been smooth sailing. As long as I don't have to do the coupler again anytime soon, I'll upgrade my rating to four stars. One annoying issue I have with it is the steering is not very responsive but it's not a Mazda so I don't fault it. I'm hoping to drive this car to 200,000 with minimal repairs like my last one.

This car meets or exceeds my expectations. I test drove several competitors including the Mazda 3. The Mazda 3 is probably a finer car, but not $7,000 finer. This is my 12th new car and I have never been more pleased with a new automobile. The gas sipping engine give plenty of performance for my pocketbook.

This is my 3rd Hyundai, just sold my 2002 Elantra with 193k miles - bought it new. I looked at Civics, Focus, Fiesta, Mazda 2 and 3 plus Subaru. I qualified for $3000 in rebates. I just bought a 2010 Elantra GLS PZEV, automatic with cargo net and mat for #13,100 plus tax, tags and docs. The sticker was like $17,870. You can buy other cars but $3-4k more. I own a 2008 Sonata with 62k miles. Hyundais are reliable.
Extremely poor service/quality

My 2010 Elantra GLS was purchased in May 2011 with 30,000 miles on it. Six months later the transmission had to be replaced and the dealer inserted a refabricated one NOT a new one. Six months later...a front motor mount had to be replaced...and a few months later--a safety recall on a brake part was issued. Now, the car is vibrating again and two independent mechanics have stated, in writing, that a transmission bracket is loose and a motor mount is beginning to crack. After 2 separate trips to the Leesburg Hyundai dealership the mgr stated there is nothing wrong with the car. There are 400 miles left on warranty --then repairs are my responsibility. Staff was rude and non- caring.
Still Smooth and Quiet at 37000

Bought the 2010 Elantra GLS with 1500 mi as a dealer demo...now have 37000 mi over a year later. No repairs yet just oil changes (Mobil 1) and had the transmission fluid and coolant changed at 30,000 miles. Still have original tires, down to 5/32 of an inch of tread...I recently drove a 2011 Elantra (new body style) and was surprised how much harsher and noisier the ride was than my 2010...must have something to do with the 2011's not having an independent rear suspension.
