Baby Elantra

2017 Hyundai Elantra SE 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6A)

I bought this 2017 Hyundai Elantra SE with the popular equipment package. I have owned this car for almost two years, and love the 100,000 mile power train warranty. Other things i love about this car is it has apple car play, which i use extensively! One thing i find annoying about this car is its 2.0l Atkinson cycle engine doesn't have good low end torque at the bottom of the rev range. I have to get the rpms around 3-4,500 to use the torque. One thing that offsets this annoyance is the sport mode feature. I use this mode when i want more get up and go. For instance passing and merging on the highway is so much easier with sport mode. i don't use eco mode that often, since I don't think it makes much of a difference in my fuel economy. I really want the Elantra Sport due to it having more torque and horsepower. Overall, i enjoy owning my 2017 Hyundai Elanta.

Fun Elantra Sport Turbo

2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

This car is awesome. It looks beautiful, runs great and handles really well. With the high strength steel and added glue along with the Turbo and rear wheel independent suspension with much better dampening I think it is the best car Hyundai currently makes. I'm getting about 30 mpg on three tanks of regular. It's pretty quick but not as fast as the 2014 Sonata Turbo I returned on lease. But its body structure is a lot quieter and stiffer than the Sonata. It handles well in the corners and felt really composed during a heavy rain storm. The Tech package is worth the money and I am enjoying the Sunroof and nice sounding stereo, though I do turn it off every once in awhile because the car sounds so good.

I have been driving my Elantra Limited since July 2017 and I am very impressed. This car has the ultimate package with auto stop, lane sensor warnings, 17 inch tires, interactive cruse control and blind spot radar. The gas mileage is fantastic! I get between 33.5 mpg and 44.1 mpg. I once drove 50 miles at 65 MPH (cruse control) and got 47.1 mpg! This car has only been to the dealer once for a recall!! The quality thus far perfect! 78,957 miles and runs great!

Great so far-SE Value Edition 2017

David Nasr, 02/17/2017
2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 6A)
6 of 6 people found this review helpful

Ultimate test: Round trip from Tulsa to Las Vegas.. Dove it a total of 2500 miles, flawless, no issues. Comfortable, and did close to 45 MPG average. Drove though a winter storm in the mountains of New Mexico and although it was scary as hell at night, the little beast performed very well. I love all the features included in the Value edition and the MPG. Very easy to drive in town through stop and go traffic, especially through the Tulsa streets which are full of potholes. The looks are growing on me, in the beginning I thought it was kind of bland, but it really is a nice looking car, it is classy looking and doesn't look (to me) like an economy car, but more like an upscale-sporty sedan. The design is similar to the Sonata's and it has reminiscence to Audi's due to both sharing the same designer. Overall this car is a great value, it's safe, reliable, well built and economical.

2017 Elantra SE Man

The value on this vehicle is amazing, very easy to drive and comfortable. I work For Hyundai and to be honest i never even considered owning one until I took a customer on a test drive in the 6 speed manual. I was hooked. The ease of shifting and how simple the SE is. I was looking to get into an SUV or something a little bit Larger but I ended up loving the Elantra. the 10 Year 100k Mile Power-train warranty keeps maintenance simple and the 5 year 60K bumper to bumper makes it even better.
