Our 2013 Elantra GLS is now a week old and has 400 miles on the odometer. After dealer problems (I don't want a blue one!!!). We finally bought our silver one literally right off the truck from a different dealer. The styling both interior and exterior is fantastic. Inside it seems to be about the same size as our 2002 Sonata. It has a lot of cubby holes and places to stow stuff. The sound system sounds great: XM, IPOD, AUX & CD. (It even has AM/FM!) Air conditioning is cold and on the 4th fan setting is downright breezy. Heated seats are the only difference between the 2012 and the 2013. THE GAS MILEAGE IS AWESOME! Averaged 40.2 mpg on the highway on a short trip. (Loaded, no a/c)
Very Nice Car

I purchased a 2013 in 2015 after looking into a Veloster. I found the Elantra to be the best bang for the buck. I have owned over 20 cars in my life and I feel the Elantra rate right at the top for all around buy. I bought the Limited with the Technology package and it is truly a small "luxury" car. Read the Edmunds review for all of the options and you will see it lacks little. I would give it a higher score on the fun to drive factor because I look for windy roads to drive. My car happens to be Hyundai Certified and that is what you should look for , just to be smart.My wife has a loaded hybrid Kia Optima and she enjoys driving the car as much as I do. Oh, the car was built in Alabama.
Best car ever

I owned a Hyundai before and found it to be a comfortable and dependable vehicle. After owning other brands I am glad I came back. The car is still under warranty with 35,000 miles left. The tech package is everything I could want.

I bought this car in May 2013 and have since been driving it up and down the Nj turnpike with mostly highway but some city driving. This car has given me on average 41 mpg for my commute which helped the car pay for itself compared to my BMW getting me 23 on the commute. Along with that I have never spent anything other than regular maintenance on this car. I followed the factory schedule religiously and did all maintainence myself and today my car has over 150k and it is not leaking oil or making any noises. I drive people in my car and when I tell them it has 150k they are astonished because of how much it feels like a new car. I am now looking at changing the rear shocks as they have gotten a little bouncy overtime. But that is completely normal for a car that has reached its half life. I intend to drive this car till 300k and I don’t think I’ll have any issues getting there.

Sadly, my experience with my car since my last review has soured me on it. I originally purchased it in June of 2012. In the last year, I have experienced multiple issues which make me question the long-term reliability, quality and engineering of this car. My issue with intermittent rough idle continues unabated, whether using or not using the a/c. It is clearly not an engine load issue. As well, now the transmission has developed an absolutely maddening metallic clicking sound intermittently when accelerating from a stop, or a roll, and sometimes when letting off the throttle. There is also a tick in the engine when it hasn't fully warmed up. This car is a "good looker" with a black heart.
