If you live in Midwest be aware of the joke they call a heater. Not only can you operate the heat on low or 2nd to low. Even after it idles for 45 min still won't clear windows off sure can't use defrost and floor heat. Bad part is Hyundai is aware of this issue and admited it to us. But won't fix it instead told us it is up to there specs. Told us run it on low or second to low and use your seat warmer. That was from Hyundai Corp in which plain and simple doesn't care. Do not buy an Elantra unless you live in Arizona, California or other year around warm states. Their Corp no problem to big or small complaint is our job to help or resolve is a joke. Stay away. We had 5000 miles and luckily another dealer bought it back and we bought different car. Needless to say Hyundai Elantra is junk. Took a big hit financially when different dealer took it in trade for a new car. Frost bite not in our future. Hyundai customer service/corporate is a joke.

Paint on my 17 Elantra started to peel at less then a year old and now more panels are peelin at less then being 2 years old. Hyundai refuses to repair my defect because of being past 36000 miles. Even though the car started to have the problem well before that. Would not recommend purchasing a Hyundai product. I was forced to have the whole car stripped down to bare metal and repainted to make sure the vehicle would not continue to peel. Due to a flaw at the factory when the car was originally painted. Obviously Hyundai does not care about customer service and I will never recommend anyone to purchase a Hyundai product. No will I ever own another Hyundai product!

Extremely Impressive for a "Compact Economy Car"

Traded a 2014 Sonata SE with sport and tech packages, which was a great car, no problems for a 2017 Elantra Limited with Tech and Ultimate packages. This is a totally new Elantra from the 2016 and I think Hyundai hit a home run. Had our choice of blue/black or red/beige. The blue was a March 2016 man date with 95 miles and looked abused and demoed poorly with sluggish acceleration. The red/beige was a July 2016 man date with 8 miles and demoed great with spirited acceleration and looked beautiful, and was very clean and still had new car smell. So we went for the red. Very impressed with the quietness for such a small car (aircraft grade chassis adhesives.). Very impressive for a "compact economy car". First tank was 36 MPG. Great nav and entertainment on the sharp 8" display. Incredible Infinity audio system, best since our 2007 Nissan Rockford Fosgate. No CD, so we'll have to transfer our music. Beautiful interior with dash setup same as new Sonata. They separated the climate control display and outside temp display from the LCD, good move. Got the Continental tires instead of the Korean ones, don't know, but I'm assuming they're better. Drawbacks are steering is a little compact-ish, just a little stiff and pulls slightly side to side on uneven roads curvy roads. Also, the suspension, which is actually pretty firm, but it will waddle a little on the road and in parking lots with sudden direction changes. These are my only complaints, which are minor. And I'm comparing it to the Sonata with the sport package the drove like it was on rails. And the Elantra of course is more comfortable and quiet. Quality, fit and finish is impressive. Only exception was the RR door which is sticking out very very slightly on the latch side. The 1.6L engine runs great and has decent power, and has multi-point fuel injection, which is much preferable over direct injection (the 2.4 GDI Theta II direct injection on the Sonata has a recall on it). The 6 speed auto is extremely smooth. New exterior styling beautiful, toned down a bit and more European. Excellent nav, audio, interior (obviously some hard plastics), beautiful leather seats, blind spot monitoring, lane departure, adaptive cruise, auto dimming RV mirror with homelink, heated F&R seats, power driver's seat with 2 memory settings, rear view camera, sunroof, auto opening trunk, what can I say? After $6500 in rebates and discounts, it's like a mini luxury car for 21.5 K. Perfect for my five foot wife. Did immediately install a K&N air filter which gives you a couple of extra horse on the 4-banger. Here's hoping no serious recalls on the engine or anything else. These new cars are so high tech you never know.

I’m a big guy, over 6 foot, around 300 pounds, and this car has plenty of room. I bought the car new with 3000 miles, and a year and a half later I’m almost to 60,000 miles. I have had no problems, the car still averages between 36 and 38 miles per gallon, and it has all the technology I’d ever want. Update: The car now has over 130,000 miles and the only thing I have ever done is changed the tires and oil. Still gets well over 35 mpg and is comfortable. Update: still love it. Now close to 150k miles and has never been in the shop. Still gets 35+ mpg
