Peeler

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!

Great commuter car for less

Bought a SE with the tech package for my 30 mile each way daily commute. The car is comfortable (I'm 6' 1"), drives very smooth, and gets 38 mpg on back country roads. Android auto is flawless. Heated seats and mirrors work almost instantly even when it's 0 degrees. Does fine in the snow with good snow tires, unlike some other small lightweight cars I've driven. I paid $13k for mine, used with only 8,000 miles. My coworkers spend $20-$30k on their commuters and get worse MPG and a brand. If this one goes 125k with no significant issues or rust I'll be happy.

Bought this car and they erred in pricing, =)

The Hyundai dealership realized there error and sold it to me for the lower price anyway. It's a great car and we absolutely love it. I got 40.4 MPG on the way home at 5MPH under the speed limit. The only thing I don't like is that the android auto app requires a USB connect and doesn't work over blutooth. (The kids blew out my HDMI ports by hot swapping cables on the 72" TV so I worry about these things now.)

Dollar for dollar, no other cars can compare

It's very simple, any car that has a 100,000 mile and/or 10 year warranty, is not building junk. They have the customers interest at hand.

SE poor acceleration

Rented for 3 weeks in Florida. While making left turns before oncoming traffic, this car seemed to stall while trying to quickly accelerate... scary! barely avoided a few accidents! This occurred even in sport mode. Don't know if it was just this particular car or problem has occurred with other similar 2017 elantras? Recall on this issue?
