2016 Manual Elantra...to Replace Our 2013 Elantra

From another reviewer: We just upgraded from a windy sea blue 2013 to a windy sea blue 2016......we love the blue....////////// Well! We replaced our 2013 Venetian Red auto Elantra with a 2016 Venetian Red manual Elantra!!! The 2016 is deeper with a bit more metal flake, but still not spectacular. As good as Hyundai cars are, their colors need to be much more like Ford colors, richer, more depth, more undertones, more.....jump. Other unadvertised improvements between the 2013 & 2016, are more precise & responsive electric steering, & major improvement in the really quiet & smooth 1.8 liter engine. Both the auto 2013 & manual 2016 obtained the same mpg, ~33mpg to 35mpg with 25%-30% city driving, 36mpg with 15% city driving, & with 100% ethanol-free gasoline & 15% city driving, 39mpg. Also with E0, long distance highway driving gave 43mpg for the auto(could be more?), & 46mpg with the manual.

We love our new addition to the family. The Elantra has a great ride and the price was unbelievable. If we could get a second elantra we would the car has sport mode, comfort mode and regular mode. Sport mode allows manual shifting simular to that of a Nissan or Cadillac.

Great smaller car

Great smaller car. In 3 1/2 years only repair was a minor repair for a sunroof lever and replacement of Battery after 2 1/2 years. Love the interior design and the Value Beige cloth seating material. Combination driving slightly more city has averaged 30 mpg.

Solid little car

I bought my 2016 Elantra with 18 miles in 2015. Now in 2019 car has 49000 miles. Only minor repairs/maintenance ive done to this vehicle is oil tires wipers and new battery. Hyundai did a very good job with this model. Its looks good and feels good on roads. I used this car to do Lyft/Uber for a while and by doing this i put my little Elantra to the test. Did over 1000 rides in one year and absolutely nothing on car broke with as many people going in and out of car. All windows door handles and looks work just like new. Even the upholstery looks good. Ive taken this car on two major trips. One to Huntsville AL from Denver and the other to LA from Denver. Best part of trip was the incredible fuel efficiency. for example i was able to get to LA from Denver with $68 cheaper and better than a grayhound bus ticket. I believe this car will get me over 200k miles with proper maintenance and care. Also you cant beat the 100k 10 year powertrain warranty. Hyundai has come a long ways and make quality vehicles for very good prices.
