head and shoulders above my 2015 Lancer

I absolutely love this car. I've had two Elantras and a Sonata in the past but nothing more recent than 2011. This vehicle outclasses them all, as well as the Lancer I bought in 2015 for about the same price as I paid for this great car.

I have had this car for over four years and it is hands-down the most unreliable car I’ve ever owned. There’s literally always something wrong with it. I hate it so much I’ve started leaving the doors unlocked in hopes someone will steal it.

Multiple 17 Hyundais

We have had 8 Hyundai’s in the last 12 years. Three of those have been 17’s limited edition. We love Hyundai’s and the 17’s have been particularly problem free. We had an issue with the driver’s side visor but that was easily remedied. My son was in an accident that totaled his 2017 Hyundai and we are getting ready to send him another. The other driver hit him almost head-on and we are grateful he came out of it with only bruises. We are buying another 17 for ourselves this month. 17 was a good year for Hyundai.

Outstanding compact/midsize daily driver

Outstanding value at ACTUAL selling prices, which was ~US$3800 lower than Civic Touring in my case. Not including the extra $$$ the Honda would cost to extend the warranty to 5 years like the Hyundai. The Limited trim level (especially with options) seems like a much pricier car. LOTS of features unique in the class- like memory driver's seat, turning HID headlights (great feature!), and nifty 'welcome lights' in the door handle. Height adjustable passenger seat, which I really like. Ride and noise level very good for the class. OUTSTANDING brakes (which car magazines also write about). More opening feeling front cockpit than competitors. I'm 6'1" and have plenty of front leg room. Rear seat wider than Civic, but with a bit less fore-aft leg room. Fun to drive, although steering not quite as sharp as top-end Civic or Mazda 3. Despite 3 mo of Midwest winter potholes (horrible this year), the car has been rock solid with NO squeaks or rattles. Mileage beats EPA estimates, with an honest 40+mpg at 70+ on the highway. The only criticism I have is that power is mid-pack for the class. No drag racer, but easily keeps up with urban/suburban commuter traffic. Update at 8k miles- Still trouble free. Ave actual 37mpg in mixed driving (2/3 highway, 1/3 city). Update 13k miles- No issues. Still looks brand new in and out. Honest 40mpg highway. Near luxury car features in Limited trim have been great! Update 20k miles- Still trouble free & looking mint. Rides solid with NO squeaks or rattles. Latest Midwest highway trip 42-43mpg round trip at 70-75mpg. Update at 27k miles- Continues trouble-free. Solid ride. Limited's leather interior showing minimal wear- still looks showroom new. Mileage still easily beating EPA rating by 10%. Update at 50k miles- Replaced a coil recently to smooth idle a bit (literally 10min job (watched Youtube videos) with US$27 part), and replaced spark plugs (as I do ~50k as maintenance; plugs looked near new FWIW). Otherwise continues trouble-free. Engine uses NO oil. Interior still looks near-new, and Limited features (memory driver seat, adaptive cruise control, etc.) are unreal in this price class. ACTUAL highway mpg (miles/US gal used) ave 40+mpg (Midwest highways, no wind)- literally cheaper than charging a Tesla (Supercharger) on Midwest interstate trips!!!

I went from a Camry Sedan to my Elantra. Very happy with all aspects of the car- quiet, great mileage.
