Used 2014 Hyundai Elantra Sedan Consumer Reviews

Great Car, Great Value

I wanted to wait till my first year of ownership was completed before offering my opinion. As of July 3rd I will have owned my 2014 Elantra SE Manual for a year and have put a little over 16,000 miles on it. My thoughts after a year is that this is a very good, solid, economical and reliable automobile and has been completely trouble free. I really like the styling and find the car very comfortable to drive. The fuel economy is fantastic. Mixed city/highway cycle returns 36.4 mpg and if I am keeping a steady 70 – 72 on the highway I consistently get 40.2. The Elantra is an exceptional value and is worthy of consideration in a new car purchase.

Engine problems

I love my Elantra and never really had any issues up until a month ago. I just hit 106000 miles and I started getting a knocking noise in the engine. I brought my car in to get checked out and they said my engine was shot and needed to be replaced. They said there was large amounts. If metal and damage to cylinder walls from wire wrist pins. I googled to see if others were having this issue at all, sure enough A LOT of people once getting over 70,000 miles started having this same issue and having engine failure. People say it should be recalled but hasn’t been. I fortunately bought a lifetime warranty so I didn’t have to pay much at all to get my new engine but unfortunately most people don’t have that warranty and I want to warn people about it.

Love this car!

I bought my 2014 Elantra Sport one month ago. I have 1000 miles on it and have enjoyed every mile! I love the larger 2.0 engine and more power over the the 1.8 liter. Its like driving a sportscar with the functionality of a sedan. I have a 4 year old so you can see how functionality is important. I'm getting better gas milage than what was shown on the window sticker (with the Active ECO turned on). You do sacrifice power for the economy however. I almost bought a Sonata turbo but decided the Elantra Sport was a much better value for my budget and I still get the sporty feeling I was yearning for. The more I drive it, the more I like it. Get yours today, you'll like it too!

Still in Love

I purchased my elantra June 2014, 15 months and 12000 miles later, it is still a great vehicle. I have been through many cars, I get the car shopping itch almost yearly, and after checking out all the new models and value in the market, for the first time ever, I decided the vehicle I had already was still the best option. It's very stylish, my limited has all the sleek technology of any extremely pricey vehicles, but for a deal that can't be beat. It drives really well, I mainly use it for my daily work, school, and hoke trips, but I have taken long distance drives and it handles great. I was looking into a suv, for more room, better suspension, and less road noise, but unless your willing to pay $35,000 or more for the same features, you won't find a vehicle with a better bang for its buck. It's economical, save with price, save on gas, and I haven't had any maintenance issues so save on repairs.

BUYER BEWARE!

I purchased a 2014 Elantra (assume same issue with all Hyundais) from a dealership in April 2015 that had 1,700 miles on it. Because I wasn't the original purchaser (it had been turned in on a lease), the 10 year 100,000 mile power train warranty was voided. I didn't understand that at the time, but my ignorance is not excuse. However, the 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty remained good according to the service department. At 62,000 miles the engine, in short, went bad and required replacement. Although I had treated the vehicle with kid gloves with regular maintenance (oil/filter changes, etc.), Hyundai would not pay for the full cost of repair ($6,500) and would not pay for a rental for the garage time needed to replace the engine. After some negotiations, Hyundai did eventually agree to pay for half of the cost of a new engine, of which I am thankful. Bottom line, the Elantra has a poor engine, and the warranty should be thoroughly understood. Their motto, "Better Built, Better Backed, Better Driven" is at best misleading, and at worst dishonest.

Love my 2014 Limited

I am not sure about the bad reviews because I love mine. I owned everything from, Pintos to Caddys. I like the car all the way around and feel it is one of the most under rated cars out there.

Worst car I have every owned

I hope this car was a freak accident because it has literally fallen apart off the show room floor! At 52k the engine failed, the headliner had to be replaced, the eyeglass storage unit has been recalled, the sunroof controls broke, the rear seal when they replaced the engine was bad, and now the front left axle has failed with a manufacturer's fault. The dealership has been nothing short of mean spirited about it all and has tried to blame me for everything. This vehicle is a dud! Hyundai took it upon themselves to replace the engine with a short block and it sucks. Zero performance, bad gas mileage, it always smokes - and I have only 62,000 miles on it (the engine only has 8,000) The protective coating on the paint is bubbling, the engine protector plate fell off. After having owned a 1999 Honda Civic Si and driving it for over 375,000 miles - this is one huge disappointment! So you want an up date on my review? You can add a rebuilt transmission, a garbage new clutch that squeaks every frickin time I change gears and a replaced pressure plate...once a piece of garbage...always one big, fat piece of trash!! There's your up date! Enjoy. Another update. Left me sitting on the side of the road one too many times! That they are finally taking responsibility and doing a major recall on these engines, doesn't surprise me. I stand by my rating of one, should be less. Palmer's Hyundai, especially the general manager, gets zero and a big fat middle finger! I dumped this piece of garbage and hope they smashed it into a little tiny square!! Another update...I dumped that POS for a Honda. Thank the lord!!

My Second Elanta - Solid Value

Overall it's a great car and initial quality was outstanding with no defects. Highway gas mileage may not always be the original false claim of 40 MPG but now that car is broken in I get there with summer blend of gas. Mostly highway driving (80/20) so overall I get 35 to 38 consistently. The transmission is very smooth though occasionally when you come to a hill it feels like the transmission should downshift. Fortunately you have the option to manually downshift so it's not that big a deal. If you want sporty, go for a Mazda 3 - Elantra's acceleration is okay and it handling is very good but not quite on par with Mazda. But then again, I judged the overall road noise level of the Mazda 3 annoying by comparison. Like the Mazda and other small 4-cylinder cars it gets a bit loud when accelerating onto the highway. Beware the blind spots sue to the slope of the front roof pillars. Backup camera is very handy since it's tough to judge the front or back through the windows. Standard audio system is okay but wish it had a bit more "oomph" - especially for bass. Bluetooth works well and touch screen controls are easy to learn. Climate controls are well- designed.

Great car for the money.

I now have approximately 28,000 miles on the car. My only complaint is the way the transmission is overly programmed for gas mileage. When the trans. upshifts, the rpm's drop down too much and you lose the torque. If you shift manually the rpm's do not drop so much. Also, when you go to downshift, say to pass another car, you have to depress the gas pedal a lot and this usually causes the trans. to downshift at least two gears. When I go to pass, I use the manual mode which, again, works much better. All in all, a great little car, especially when you factor in the cost and what you get for the money. I would definitely buy another Elantra.

Rattles, Shakes, and Slides

This car has truly poor handling. It's wet and snow traction are horrendous. You can't hit a dip in the road or a pothole without the car flopping around and the traction control coming on. This car feels both cheap and low quality.

First and last time i will buy an elantra

This car is simply cheap. I bought it used with only 35,000 miles and one other owner. However, the car rattles, hesitates when accelerating, gives off a sulfur smell, and even sometimes feels as if it's on half power. I've taken it to the service shop multiple times and they always say nothing is wrong. Every time i take it in it's like none of the problems exist and they always say they didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. More recently, out of the blue my car would not start. It was not the battery, actually the battery was perfectly fine according to AAA and the shop. It made loud screeching noises and jerked so bad i thought my car was going to jerk down the hill. This has never happened before but it's like to this point i'm already fed up with it, and I'm wondering what else could possibly go wrong. It started smoking and everything then we decided to tow it to the hyundai service and repair shop, and which in return told me NOTHING was wrong with it! They said when they started working on the car it eventually started, but then cut off, and eventually started again. The car has been turning on ever since however I am afraid to drive it. They said they don't know why it's doing any of the things that it does because there's "nothing" wrong with the car. Moral of the story is, I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone, especially since if something is unordinary you might have three different hyundai dealers telling you there is nothing they can do.

Middle of the Pack

I bought this car as a certified used car in 2015. At the time it was about a year old and had around 28,000 miles on it. Almost 2 years later and I now have about 93,000 miles on it. Let's just say I drive a lot. Now let's get to the review. There are some good and bad things about this car. Let's start with the good. Overall cost is ok. You can get the SE model for less than 20k or so. Mine was a year old like I said and I got it for around $17,000. The biggest selling points to me was the warranty, decent styling and MPGs. So far, those things have held up. I drive about 60% hwy and 40% city everyday and have about a 100 mile daily roundtrip commute. With this type of usage, I average 35 mpg which is pretty good. I have been on some road trips where it was all hwy and I can easily get 40 mpg while still driving 75-80. There have been times where I was stuck on 60 mph roads for hours and I would actually get about 45 mpg. Really good! Sadly, the tank is only like 12 gallons or something really small so even if I do really well on fuel mileage, I still have to refuel a lot more often than I would like. Now the bad: Thankfully I had that warranty. It needed a engine replacement at around 40,000 miles due to a valve losing pressure. So far the 2nd engine has held up fine. Other than that (big thing) no other repairs have been needed. The brakes feel fine when it is dry out but when it rains, they constantly have a grinding noise/sensation when applying them. The car also easily hydroplains so I have to really slow down when it's wet out. The seats get pretty uncomfortable after a few hours. Road noise is horrible. And the worst part of it all is the resale value. I understand that I drive a lot of miles. But the value has plummeted on this car in the last few years way faster than I expected. Even when I check the value as if I had a normal amount of miles, it still has dropped significantly. I have made many extra payments on top of my regular ones for 2 years now and I still am about $5000 below what I owe on the loan. No other vehicle I have ever had has dropped in value so quickly. I am definitely stuck with this car until I pay at least 90% of it off.

Amazing Car

This is a solid car by a solid company. I am constantly amazed by how well thought out all the features are and the high quality of workmanship. I used to rent plenty of Hyundai cars when I traveled for work, and now that I spend more time doing a standard commute, I am absolutely delighted by the fully loaded options. You simply cannot go wrong with the leather interiors and technology options crammed into this car.

A Poor Man's Mini Cooper S

First of all it's not a Mini Cooper S, but since I recently owned a 2011 Mini Cooper S, I can see the similarities. You can tell it's a solid car when you shut the door. The cabin has the cockpit feel with the close at hand controls and push start function. I feel like I'm folded into the car when I shut the door and start it up. The steering is tight and responsive. When it's not in eco mode, it's got good pickup both from a start and in traffic. It's performs fine in eco mode, but there's a difference. It also has the sports car ride, which means it's great on good roads and lets you know all of the features of the road on not so good ones (I like that, but to each his own). Now, the story of the car. I bought it used two weeks ago in Cincinnati and drove it back to North Carolina. I got 33.7 mpg on the drive, using a calculator. It was actually pretty close to the car readout of 34.0, but I never trust the car and smartphones with calculators make it easy to verify. I was actually getting better mileage until the mountains of West Virginia, so I expect 35 mpg on flatter highways. I have already put about 900 miles on it. In mostly city driving, I got 29.5 mpg and in mixed got 32.5 mpg. On the drive back from Cincinatti, I also had the sunroof open with the seat heaters on in 30 degree weather for 50 miles and never got cold. The wind noise was minimal also. The bluetooth works great with my iphone, the car is comfortable, and I couldn't be happier with the purchase. I can't comment yet on reliability, having only owned it for two weeks, but it is Hyundai certified pre-owned, so there's that comfort as I own it. My only complaints are the fact that it has no spare tire, only a repair kit, and the driver's side blind spot is definitely there. It does have a double outside mirror for the blind spot, so that probably won't be an issue when I get used to it.

!!! MUST BUY !!!

I bought this car in 2014 with every accessory available. MPG has averaged 32.2 in city driving. Paint has held up well and so has the interior. Still looks brand new inside and out!! Miss my SUV so will be replacing this car with the 2016 Kia Sorento.

Bought another one

This is our second Elantra. Our daughter was involves in a T-Bone collision in the first. The other vehicle was an SUV, and both were totaled. She walked away without a scratch. I went right out and bought another one.

Definitely glad I sprung for the sport

I’ve now owned my 14 Elantra sport for 4.5 years and have 53,000 miles on it. When I was first shopping around I looked at the limited and couldn’t stand the 1.8l engine. After seeing a few other reviews on here I’m glad I purchased the sport with the much better engine. When not in eco mode I average 30-32mpg combined and still have that oomph when accelerating. The sport tuned steering is incredible and it truly feels like I’m driving a much more expensive sporty car than what I paid for it. The seats and interior are more comfortable than any car I’ve previously owned and while it is small by today’s standards the touch screen display is good. I can’t stand the styling of the latest models. The 2014 had the most aggressive and appealing exterior and interior styling. The only two complaints I have is the cheap sunglasses holder and that since I bought the car, in cold starts it’s a hard first shift from 1st to second gear. After I’m a half mile down the road no problems whatsoever. Dealer said there was nothing wrong with the transmission so I’ve lived with it since. The sunglasses holder has a cheap clip in it that has since been recalled. Even the slightest of bumps opened it. After 3 trips to the dealer they finally replaced the front roof console and the problem has since gone away. Overall, I’m very happy with the car. I paid 21,000 for it and you just can’t get the value here in anything else at that price. I understand if others think differently who bought the 1.8l engine. The drivability and handling are the best parts about the sport.

Engine

I bought my Elantra brand new in 2014, got extended warranty. Had to replace shock first year , then the vehicle was good up until one week ago January 2022. I heard a ticking in motor took it to my mechanic, who told me to call hyundai to see if still under warranty and if they would do anything for me and answer was no not under warranty so would be at my cost . My engine has only 10600 km on it paid 30000 dollars . The engine is no good and I will not pay hyundai to put new one in to see it go. Hyundai has known for some time that ,small pieces of metal are getting into oil, they refused to help in any way, 30000 dollars they recieved for a vehicle that was no good Hyundai should be ashamed , another large corporation ripping off the little people, I own an older honda now and will NEVER BUY NEW AGAIN AND ESPECIALLY NOT A HYUNDAY

POOR gas mileage and dash computer lies

SEE August 2021 update The car is rated 38 Highway, 28 City and 32 Combined. I didn't expect to get the actual ratings, but I did expect to be closer than 30% lower than posted. My salesman assured me that they were accurate after the preceding model years had a problem with mileage claims. I only average 24-25 mpg with 30% highway mileage. It takes 80% or more highway just to get close to the posted average. After numerous complaints and a road test, highway and rural roads coming back, by the service manager of the dealership, my results were verified. Hyundai still refused to do anything. After complaining to the BBB they finally sent an engineer out to check the car. Despite asking to meet with him and ride along, they did not let me. He took the car "highway only" and achieved 40 mpg which was very good, and used it as an excuse to say there is nothing wrong with the car. They also would not give me the protocol for their city tests. I did take a trip the next week, filled up just before entering the highway and then again as I got back home. I was able to duplicate his 40 mpg with the cruise control set at 65 on a 70 mph limit highway for 200 miles. That is great, but immediately when my suburban driving is included I drop to the 24-25 mpg average. If I drive nothing but local suburban roads for several days, the computer on the dash will often be at 20 mpg or lower. I would have been satisfied if I averaged the city rating, but gas mileage was one of the primary reasons I purchased this car. If actual usage is completely off the target, I feel it is false advertising. I am 66 years old and don't have a lead foot. I live in a suburban area and avoid driving in rush hour when possible. I also use cruise control even when I am only going 4 or 5 miles down the highway. FEB 2018 24,000 miles: Gas mileage remains the same. 40% to 50% highway still results in 24-25mpg. I need to get near 80% highway just to get the CITY rating of 28 mpg and computer still inflates mileage by about 10%. Driving only in suburbs where I live nets about 15-17mpg. After 4 years and 27,000 miles, nothing has changed. I would still like to see their protocol for mileage tests, especially the city rating of 28 mpg. I still average 24-25 mpg with the cars computer consistently showing 2-3 mpg/ 8-12% higher. It is not an estimate as that would require it to be high half the time and low half the time. I have come to believe it is purposely set to show higher than achieved mileage to mislead owners and reduce complaints. I really wonder how many actually calculate their mileage. Two other problems I have repeatedly told the service advisers about is the ticking of the engine when cold since new; and trunk seems to open on it's own. I have even purchased a silicone cover for my key fob which has reduced the problem, but it still occurs. I have also seen other Elantras with open trunks in parking lots and my neighbors Kia twin has had the trunk lid open a couple times. 2019 and coming up on 5th anniversary of purchase. No changes in mileage. Had to replace first set of tires at just 22,000 miles, but there is no mileage warranty on original equipment tires. 2nd set down to about 40% of tread now. Now at over 40,000 with all highway and fuel mileage recorded. Still only average 24-25 mpg. At about 80% highway I can achieve the EPA city rating. AUGUST 2021 UPDATE . . . NO changes in fuel mileage, but after going to a different dealer for service and telling them about the tapping noise, they actually checked it out instead of dismissing it like the original dealer. It was piston slap! Since I had done all the oil changes and they had a record of them, they replaced the engine at no cost!!! I am only on my second tank of gas, but still only getting about 24 MPG with 30-40% highway miles. Car has 48,000 miles on it now. Going to the dealer for oil changes is well worth the extra time and money in this case!! Hyundai finally acknowledged piston slap and replaced my engine at 47,000 miles. Thank God I had my oil changed at the dealership. Still same poor mileage compared to EPA only averaging 25mpg. Still also having problems with trunk opening despite having a cover on my key fob. I think this is a problem with Kia and Hyundai since I have seen trunk lids up on both in parking lots. 9 Mar 2023 Mileage is still the same. overall average of 24-25mpg tank after tank. I also still have problems with the trunk lid opening on it's own. Hyundai finally did hear my knocking noise and replace my engine under warranty though. Thank God I had my oil changes done at the dealership. They can be very picky about having the oil changed regularly. Engine replaced by Hyundai at about 47,000 miles due to knock (piston slap) that I had complained about on my 1st oil change. I went to a different dealer this time and they agreed. Thank God I had all my oil changes done at Hyundai. Sadly, it didn't help the gas mileage. I am still averaging 24.6 mpg in a car that is supposed to average 32 epa. Having spent most of my working life in the car business, I didn't expect 32, but 30% less still seems a bit bad. City is supposed to be 28. If I averaged that I would have been satisfied. My previous car, a 2001 Corolla with 250,000 miles and oil leaking past rings fouling my #1 plug regularly, I was getting 23 mpg. STill have a problem with trunk opening accidentally too, and I have seen a few in parking lots with the same problem. Hyundai and Kia. Silycone boots to cover my fobs have helped a little, but still have deck lid open without intention several times each month. SOLD Car

owned over 5 years

Bought mine new in May2014. After over 5 years i can review it as a Great car. Ended up having to drive Uber after end of 2015. Car paid for itself and all of my bills. Pot holes in New Orleans are not nice. Plenty of clearance . car is agile. I bought the 1.8 liter. Love it. Plenty fast even with 5 people and trunk load of luggage. Great interrior room. Nice sized trunk. Noisy with tires it came with on interstate. Pirelli all seasons quieted road noise down.i change oil every 7,000 miles with mobil 1 synthetic. Use 0w20 for fuel efficiency. 127,000 miles and still performing like new. Have changed back brake pads at 90k. Windshield wipers. Oil & filter. Cabin air filter & k&n air filter. Also headlights & brakelights. Years of 12 hour shifts night driving. This car is tough !

LOVE HER!

Just bought my new 2014 Elantra Limited and it may be to soon to get an accurate review on the reliability I can say I love this car! It's my first brand new car and i'm glad I made the purchase! Van Horn Hyundai was extremely helpful in making sure I got exactly what I wanted. I would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for a small or midsize car.

Great budget car

I love my 2014 Elantra.

Tired of hearing “This particular car”

I’m tired of hearing “oh yea, this particular car” in regards to all the problems I’ve had with it. I’ve stumped every mechanic I’ve taken it to with the mysterious issues that arise like when it was losing power for no reason. Just wouldn’t turn on. Then it would... For several weeks on and off a year ago. When I hit my breaks the entire stereo restarts... Every time... Same with when I turn on my lights or roll down my windows. If I turn on my A/C at night I can see my headlights flicker/dim. I can’t use my cruise control or else my transmission goes on the fritz. It jumps in and out of gears at seemingly the most random times. For such a small and unimpressive car the gas mileage is pathetic, worse than some small SUV’s and the tiny gas tank guarantees I’m filling up almost twice a week. By far the most disappointing car I’ve ever owned.

Great little commuter car

I bought this car in 2014 and sold it to Carmax in 2021 when used car prices went through the roof. During those years, it’s been a reliable and very efficient commuter car. Probably the most expensive thing I ever paid for was $700 for a new set of tires (and it was only that high because I wanted high-end Michelins to replace the cheapo Hankooks it came with when they wore out). Very cost-effective to operate, and never had a major reliability issue at all. I also took it on some really long trips, including west coast to east coast and back. Drove through baking hot deserts, blinding snowstorms, pouring thunderstorms, it handled everything fine. First and foremost, it’s an economy car, with all the good and bad that entails. Gas mileage averaged 33-35, with 20’s in the city and low 40’s on the highway. The little 1.8L engine was very good at low speeds, but ran out of breath a bit at fast highway speeds, and really struggled on any steep incline. Highway speed also brought a lot of road noise, to the point that it could overwhelm the radio or phone calls, unless you turn up the volume to high. Handling was good for an economy car, but it’s no sports sedan. It was quite comfortable and spacious for a small economy car. Front legroom was surprisingly good and rear legroom felt much better than the official 33 inches. Much better. But it always reminds you it’s still an economy car. For example, you feel the bumps in the road. On smooth California roads, that wasn’t an issue. Driving around pockmarked winter-damaged East Coast roads was jarring. All the electronics worked fine, but again, they were economy car electronics. So it had Sirius/XM, but sound quality was a bit tinny. It had a rearview camera, but a small low-resolution 4 inch screen. Etc. With its small size and tiny turning radius, you could park it almost anywhere. Great urban car, for small city streets and narrow alleyways, or great commuter car that’s an inexpensive but not very exciting companion. The only issue I ever really had with it was with the key-fob, which had a very touch sensitive remote trunk release. If you barely even touched it, like if it pressed against your leg in your pocket, you could walk out and find your trunk open. I tried all kinds of fixes and eventually just took it in to a Hyundai dealer to disable the remote release, forcing me to open it with the key every time. I’ve never had this issue with any other car, but I’ve read Hyundai forums where people have this problem. Other than that, mostly a lot of positive experiences.

NOT for short drivers

I came to royally hate this car in the two years I owned it. I am 5'3" which is not unusually short but I think Hyundai only thought of the six foot tall men. The controls were so far away that I had to lean forward to change anything and the blind spots created by the windshield pillars are enormous!

Decent

It’s been a great little commuter for the last six months and I’ve had no complaints until today. When my tire shredded and I was left stranded with nothing more than a repair kit. Well considering the fact that you could stick w quarter through the hole I’m thinking that there was no way in heck the sealant could patch it. The fact that the spare tire shaded hole in my trunk doesn’t hold a spare tire is the most enraging thing I can think of. When it comes time for a new car we’ll see if Toyota maybe cares enough about the customer to at least give them a spare tire

2014 sport

just traded in a 2013 volvo c70 for a brand new elantra sport with 6-spd manual.wow,this car has it all...high tech bluetooth,back up camera,push button start,heated leather seats,power driver seat,just to name a few.i got the windy blue with beige leather.great sound & love the steering.paint is better than on a volvo.

I really enjoy my new Elantra

I purchased the Elantra SE on June 8th and so far I have put about 4700 miles on it. It is a very comfortable car for my commute of about 50 miles round trip daily. I have taken several long road trips of over 300 miles with no issues. Over all I could not have asked for more from Hyundai. I am a loyal customer as I also own a 2012 Hyundai Accent SE.

Great Student car

It drives very nice and has good pickup in my opinion. Of course I'm an old lady and don't do street racing. It has a new alternator ( in the Hyundai repair shop now for that). new battery, recent new tires, and no stains or holes in the upholstery. Great condition for its 100,000 miles. I bought an extended 100,000 mile warrenty on it in Jan 2020 and that is transferable to a new owner. Backup viewing, AM/FM radio, and CD player; has "jacks" for smart phones and GPS. No dents or scratches outside.

Excellent Customer Service

I just buy my 2014 hyundai elantra sport my wife love this car. [non-permissible content removed]

Best Car For The Money

Have owned three Elantras over the years. Presently have a 2014 Limited with 14,000 miles. It has been perfect with no problems. I put in gas, change the oil and follow the recommended service schedule. What more can you ask for.

2014 Elantra

Great car.

If you want a reliable, dependable, safe family car this is IT.

Comfortable and great on gas!!

My Elantra limited is reliable, great on gas, and is fun to drive.

Hyundai lover

I have had my 2014 Hyundai Elantra Sport Limited for right at 2 months and so far i am highly impressed. The Eco function works perfectly in boosting fuel efficiency the 17 inch tires give it a very modern sporty look that i love and right now i am accenting that with low profile high performance all weather tires with a speed cap of 168mph though i never push it that fast but it helps free the vehicle to move freely without any shaking or weird vibrating when traveling in a hurry or just seeing what this baby can do. My Elantra is labeled as Limited Sport because it not only has the technology package with LED accent lights and LED tail light but also has a Silver side skirt trim that other limiteds i've seen on the HWY don't have. My only problem with the vehicle is the headroom even with the sunroof me being 6'4ft i still have issues finding the proper position up and down that gives me the head room and still provide the comfortable firm leather seating. Other then that i am highly pleased with this vehicle its not too low so that i have to crawl out and its not too high where i have to jump fold inside.

Ready to give the car back

Just bought the car 1 week ago and I want to give it back. I regret buying it. The front seats are extremely uncomfortable if you drive more than 20 minutes . My legs go numb and I limp every time I get out of the car . I did take the car for two test drives before I bought it, but never long distance. I am tall, 6.1. The angle of the seat bottom is something I never considered. In the Hyundai it is extreme. I will look at seat bottom angles at any future car buying adventures .

new car

I have a new car a 2014 Elantra. I found with less than 100 miles on it the speedometer was off by 3 mph. When it showed 35 miles per hour the car was only going 32 mph. I called Keys and took it in. They did their tests called Hyundai and did not fix the problem. I was told the car is with in limits. The dealer said they can not help it is up to Hyundai. So much for bumper to bumper coverage. I might have given a good rating but now every time I get into the car I have to speed to go the correct mph. How they can say it is with in limits when clearly the speedometer is off by 3 mph. I now wonder when something goes wrong what they will tell me why they won't fix it. Beware
