Used 2013 Hyundai Elantra Consumer Reviews
engine knocking
bought my 2013 elantra in Febuary. I was told I could have my routine oil changes done at any reputible dealer as long as it is documented. I live 30 miles from the dealer and work alot of hours. As it came time for my oil change I took it to valvoline and had my first oil change at 3,800 miles. The very next day my engine was making a knocking niose. i called the dealer and took the car in. I then paid for another iol change and was handed a bulletin dated sept. 2012 that states anything but a huyndai oil filter can cause engine knocking. The oil change did not fix the engine knock. I now have a car with less than 5,000 miles and an engine knock. The dealer is less than helpful.
7.2 L/100 Km, Not really
I am writing this review 'cause I am disappointed with my 2013 Elantra GLS. After driving for some weeks and going for three full tanks, I am not even close to the publicized 7.2 L/Km. I am getting between 8 and 9 L/100 km (city and highway combined). I drive very cautiously, never accelerate too aggressively or maintain the car idle for prolonged periods of time. I went to see the Hyundai dealer and they first mentioned that they could not do anything about it, that 9 L/100 Km was better than other drivers were getting. I had to push the dealership to do something and I they said that I needed to take the car for a road test and I needed to pay for the test. I accepted.

Worst car I've owned
The car's transmission and brakes are very poor. The car shifting is very choppy and jerks often. I have replaced the brakes yearly and rarely replaced brakes on previous cars. As the car is not as expensive as Toyota Corolla or Honda Civic, the cost is worth paying for either of these models. I have had both a Corolla and a Civic and was extremely happy with them. At the time I bought this one, I had been hit from behind and my Corolla was totaled and I was unable to afford much more than the Elantra. Also have had to replace the trunk latch
