If luck continues this will be one of my best car purchases. Bought with 11k on odomoter and previous owner changed oil every 3k. Car looked and smell like new, literally flawless. Paid $ 12,200 at dealer. Seemed like a great deal compared to lesser kept Hondas and Toyotas. We usually only buy Honda and Toyotas but this was a second car and we just really liked it. The intertior feels higher quality than our Toyota Venza which cost over 30K new. It rides great and has all the latest tech. The gas mileage is phenom!

First time I saw the redesigned Elantra, I knew I wanted one. I'd had two older Elantra previously and they were good cars. I bought a 2013 used with 26K miles. It was going to be my car for the next 10 or more years. As long as possible. But, sadly it was rear ended and declared a total loss at 85k miles. Anyway, it was a wonderful car. It had amazing mpg's. I could get up to 44 mpg but averaged about 38 as I did a fair amount of mixed city/highway driving. It was stylish, reliable, and super cheap to maintain. It had everything. I kept up with regular maintenance, like oil changes, etc. Only had brakes done once, and bought one set of tires to replace the factory tires it had when I bought it. Only problem it ever had was an airbag light came on, but that was covered by the 100k mile warranty! Car was great to drive, enough power for the highway and good grip on the road. Interior was very roomy and comfortable. Trunk was huge! If you are looking for a great value and a car you can enjoy looking at, I recommend the Elantra. I'll be getting another one!

I've owned this car for almost 7 months so far. At 16K miles the brakes started to make a strange noise, I thought that it must be due to the extreme cold temperatures we've been having. NOPE, at 17k miles I'm being told that my brakes need service, and guess what it's out of pocket! Never mind that this car is driven 80% highway with limited use of brakes (no heavy traffic). Dealer treats this as NORMAL. I've had a Mazda3 which only needed brakes every 60Kmiles. At this rate I'll be changing brakes every 8 months! Very poor design Hyundai. You may have just lost a(nother) customer. **UPDATE** 3.5 years into the ownership and over 100,000 miles on the clock now. Brakes SOMETIMES make a thunk thunk noise - this braking at all speeds, whether in the city or highway, it's just louder on the highway but it seems to be dependent on which way the last sharp turn was made. More research needed here (by me). Fuel economy reduced slightly by use of new winter tires. Can't wait to get some summers on shortly for a) a quieter ride and b) improved fuel economy. The loss is about 5-8%. A few creaks and groans are audible now, especially when it's freezing outside. The colder it gets the more the dash area seems to protest, almost like the bits are expanding/contracting at slightly different rates thus causing friction where there is none at warmer temperatures. UPDATE #2 I traded in the car at 214,000km (134000miles). Received very little in trade due to the mileage, that was expected. I traded in due to a slight ticking coming from the engine. Upon some googling I discovered that only bad things follow once the ticking starts. Car (and engine) was probably good for another few years or 50000miles I would guess but I had a chance at picking up something (so much more) exciting I just could not say no. During all this time (5 years of ownership) I've only had minor gripes with the brakes as read above - performed two "brake services" at shops and when I was trading it in the brakes were fine. I had the sunroof switch replaced under warranty as it was acting up. Other than that there was nothing other than regular maintenance done on the car, mostly simple oil changes, a few tire changes, coolant flush and transmission oil replacement (once). So over all the miles this car was driven, from an expense standpoint it was very good. It started every morning and took me home every night. I was never worried that I would be stranded somewhere. If you can pick one up for a reasonable price, as they drop in value quite drastically still compared to Honda/Toyota even though you get so much more for your money (go figure) go for it. They are kind of slow in acceleration however the Corolla will be exactly the same with the Civic being slightly quicker (we're talking slightly). Overall it's a good value but the thousands of hours spent behind the wheel and the ticking starting made me want a new(er) car.

I average 30 miles per gallon and have had no unscheduled maintenance costs. I had the car for 3 years now.

This is me second Elantra (other one was a 2008 my daughter-in-law bought from me) and it has been amazing. I love how it handles, the comfortable seating - front and back - plus the gas mileage. I am definitely a big fan of Hyundai.
