Used 2015 Hyundai Elantra Sedan Consumer Reviews
Can't handle impact!
My 2015 Elantra was a failure under pressure. Had a car accident and learned the airbag sensors are set to low. The front bumper was impacted twice and I was rear ended once. We were traveling at 40-50 mph upon impact. Very disappointed. There is not a recall on this year and model. Be very careful.

5 years, no problems
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.
Very Reliable!
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.

Hyundai product sucks.
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!

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.
