I’ve owned this car since 2015 and it’s January 2020 now and I haven’t change or fixed a single part. I’ve did the regular maintenance like oil changes, transmission fluid drain and refill, spark plugs, brakes, cabin and air filters and a new battery. All of the above are schedule maintenance you would have to do with every car.

Bought the car New from dealer. After 40 to 50k the start the engine was knocking. Complained to dealership but nothing was done. Read through some information and the Hyundai engines have an issue with slapping pistons and undersized oil pump. At 90K the engine oil pan & crank case gasket seal leak was discovered. Was diagnosed by another mechanic and not the dealer. It was fixed the first couple times under warranty. The vehicle now has 138k and the oil pan gasket has been replaced 5 times & crank case gasket seal 3 times. Dealership could not fix there own vehicle. Finally had enough and decided to trade in this vehicle. The new dealer gave me a trade price and when vehicle was inspected they found an oil pan gasket leak(again) and when they phoned the Hyundai dealership were I bought it they told them that the vehicle had a defective engine. This is the first time Hyundai was truthful but ironic because the dealer reduced the trade in price by $1000 . Hyundai not only sells vehicles with defective engines but the dealership bad mouthed their own products. If in Canada check the show Marketplace where they featured Hyundai and their defective engines. I will never buy or recommend to anyone to buy a Hyundai.

If you live pay check to pay check and you buy the Hyundai product. Your be filling for bankruptcy after you see the repair bills. Just remember this. The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of low price is forgotten!

Want a reliable, comfortable car that shouldn't cost you too much to maintain...? One that is at-home in the city or on the highway? A car that requires minimum maintenance, so all you have to worry about is gas, oil changes, wiper blades and very little else for those first five years...? I think this is one of those cars. After five years and a little less than 60,000 miles, the only (apparently well-known and almost universal) problems I've had were: - a couple burnt headlamps (the dealership suggests changing both when one is burnt; this is actually good advice, and if you're patient, you can do it yourself in about an hour -- the inside of the lamps are hard to get at so it just takes time), and - a battery that died 1-2 years earlier than I expected (a couple experts told me this is chronic in factory batteries in the Asian compacts, particularly Hyundai...They put cheapo batteries in to help their production costs on these cars that have razor-thin profit margins). One note for potential buyers: If you don't mind a hatchback (and we really shouldn't), try to get a deal on the GT model...Here in Canada, the new sticker price is not only $2000-4000 cheaper than the sedan, but -- for some reason, likely lower sales volume or something -- the dealerships are always blowing these hatches out at even better bargains, and often throwing in upgrade packages as well. Another suggestion: Get the 2.0 litre engine. It ain't fast, but it ain't slow... Simply a well-made, reliable, comfortable, no-fuss car at a pretty good price.

Love this car

I loved my Hyundai Elantra. I would still be driving it except I needed more room for my growing family. My Elantra was GREAT on gas mileage. Around town I was still getting over 30 mpg and once on a long interstate trip I got 40mpg. It handles well and so easy to park. We had it for 4.5 years and basically no repair costs...just routine maintenance. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a small car.
