Disappointing in the end

When researching which new car to purchase, the deciding factors in the end were that I had an Elantra for 12 years and it was very reliable, and I wanted a car with decent gas mileage. So far it's been reliable, though a few small things have failed already. But the gas mileage is just plain terrible. If I had known, I would have gotten the car I really wanted that had weaker gas mileage instead! UPDATE: Got rid of the car after 3 years, and I usually like to keep my cars for a decade. The road noise was awful, and even three years later my daughter kept getting headaches from the smell of it. I couldn't smell anything, but clearly she is more sensitive to off-gassing than I (we had the leather, maybe cloth is better). Also, getting my son into a rear facing car seat was nearly impossible. It was like threading a needle to get him in and I just hated it. Traded it in on a used 2013 Toyota Venza and am SOOO happy I did! This car is great for the right person, but not for someone who wants good gas mileage, a quiet ride, or with small children.

Fun to drive, high maintenance costs

Purchased used with 60k this year. Unfortunately 60k is the cut-off for 2nd owner warranty so don't purchase without warranty. So far this car has cost more in repairs than my two other cars (03 Toyota matrix and 06 Dodge Stratus) combined. So far two bad wheel bearings, ac compressor making loud noises, replaced battery, alternator is starting to fail (lights are flickering at idle) has intermittent rough idle, and the power seat controls work intermittently. No complaints on gas mileage gets about the same as my matrix (average around 33-35 mixed driving) . The car is fun to drive but a little noisy. Bluetooth system keeps trying to pair phone when not active.

I have had this car for 3 weeks and I love it. I was trying to choose between Mazda 3, Honda Civic, Ford, Kia, Subaru Impreza, Toyota Corolla , Nisan... and few othes... At the end I had to pich between Honda Cic and Elantra - and I chose the Elantra. So I saved $3,000 , got a better looking car, more leg space, much better warranty , 5 years of road side assistance, 2 years of free oil change. The quality is great it drives great- feels very sporty.
40 MPG is disappointing

Bought this vehicle in August for its 40 mpg hiway rating as I travel 50 miles one way to work daily. I now have 3500 miles on this vehicle and the best fuel mileage I have gotton is 33.9 mpg traveling 65 mph on the hiway to and from work daily. With 9 fillups the mileage has ranged from 31.0 to 33.9 mpg. The dealership salesman has said that its not broken in yet and the mileage should get better as more miles are put on it. I have my doubts at this time that will happen. Other than the mileage issues, I have not had any other issues with this vehicle. It drives and handles beautifully.
leased the car...loved it

What a great car. It surprised me and got 40+ mpg on the highway. No major repair issues. starting to now need tires and brakes at just under 40,000 miles after having the car for 3.5 years. Great seats. Blue tooth technology hands free worked great including voice texting. I'd keep it if it wasn't time to return it to home. Def considering another Elantra. For the fuel economy, price, loaded with features, it's a great car that surpasses others in its field.
