Used 2013 Hyundai Elantra Limited 4dr Sedan (1.8L 4cyl 6A) Consumer Reviews
Very Pleased
I do not understand negative reviews about gas mileage! The LOWEST we have gotten is 32.5. We live in an extremely hilly area.....rural, lots of stops, starts, slow down for curves and accelerating on steep hills. On the hwy., we get over 38 mpg. We previously owned a Ford Focus and a Chevy Impala (which I hated!) and the Hyundai Elantra Limited is way above and beyond both vehicles. The ride is so much quieter and smoother. The features in the Limited surpass the Ford Focus by miles!
Sleek All Around
I purchased the 2013 Hyundai Elantra Limited the end of May (owned 2.5 mos) & have 4000 miles on it. 30 city/38-43 hwy. So far, the only concerns I have are the paint quality and road noise. Hyundai offers a package for a coat of protectant for the paint & windows for almost $3000 more, which may have been nice to have purchased. My car has already had 3 dings from parked cars & it has chipped the paint. Concerning the road noise: it is smooth until hitting rough road or block chunks on the interstate. Another noise is on the roof when it rains. Sounds like water hitting tin. The sunroof cover helps w/noise.

My little Korean
I have my Elantra since 2013. So far I only got 16500 miles on it, and it has been running fine. MPG's on the highway is great, I see upper 30's and a few times over 40. It is not a race car, the 1.8 does not have a lot of torque. I never use the ECO mode since it makes the car feel slower, and forces up shifts. I am sure some people will like it, but it makes the car even more dull to me. Half a year ago a lady nicely decided to crash test it by hitting me with her Isuzu Trooper. The poor Elantra crumpled as intended and i got out without a scratch, though in need of a new front end. The stock tires are terrible, I can't wait to wear them down a little more and buy some proper ones. The car is roomy, easily sits four people. I am 6 foot 4 and have no issues being comfortable in the front. Very good trunk space too. Buy a spare tire if you want the safety, it is not included.

Best small car I've ever owned
I got this Elantra, after a 2011 Accent saved my life when I got T-boned by a Buick at 50 mph. The driver's side of the Accent blew the front end of the Buick apart. This is my 3rd Hyundai. Excellent car, that does simply everything well. The navigation system is fantastic, and easy to use. The audio system is tops, and the Bluetooth system works great. Front and rear heated seats- the front seats are among the most comfortable I've ever been in. Stable, reliable, and wonderful on the highway. As with most small cars, extra road noise. I get 28-30 driving around town, and have achieved 38-40 on trips. I use the ECO setting constantly. Cruise works well, and the controls are all well-designed. No wonder this was the North American car of the year in 2012.

I love my 2013 Elantra limited except....
I bought my 2013 limited elantra sept in 2012. I have had no major issues with my car at all. I love the exterior, interior and the ride and comfort. It is a little road noisy but I am used to it and listen to my radio loud anyways. I currently have 90k miles and have had 1 issue which was the transmission temperature sensor error which caused the feeling of the trans going out. I took it to the dealer and it was covered under warranty and was fixed, no problems other than wear and tear. The continental tires the car came with were crap so I bought Perrelli p7 all season tires and it helped tremendously with gripping the road. I would not suggest this car in areas where it snows as it becomes a sled with any type of snow on the ground. Other than that, this vehicle has been great to me. Still like new!
