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.

After owning this car for two years, here are the things I'm pleased with: great interior and exterior styling. Quiet smooth engine, good power, amazing gas mileage (42-43 mpg on the highway) loads of features, incredible rebates to bring down the price, love the heated seats, transmission is superb, handling is excellent for this price range. Negatives: bucket seats are extremely hard and uncomfortable, bottom seat cushion is too short from front to back (doesn't support things enough), leather steering wheel is very slippery when new, sunroof sits back too far, can't see the sky unless you tilt your head back, volume knob and up/down volume controls on steering wheel are slow to respond, very quiet in general but some tire noise gets into the cabin at highway speeds. I wish the speakers put out a better quality of sound.

The car looks very sharp, and the gas mileage constantly returns 30-40 mpg. The warranty is great too; unfortunately I have had to use it several times. Every one of the door locks have stopped working at different times, requiring eight separate trips to the dealer (one for initial diagnostics and to order the part, and one to replace the part). Things got so bad with the rear doors that they actually had to cut the interior door panels off to get the doors open. Without the warranty, this would have been a huge repair cost. Next, the heater was initially horrible. I could drive the car for an hour and the heater will still blast lukewarm air. Thermostat was replaced, coolant was flushed, etc. Finally this past fall I was able to get a computer update that magically fixed the heater. The ignition coils in this car also all had be replaced before 50k. This again required two separate trips for each coil. After the 2nd coil failed, Hyundai refused to change the remaining two coils at the same time, so when they went bad I changed them myself. I’m nearing the end of the bumper to bumper warranty and have zero intentions of keeping the car when the warranty expires. If you are looking at one of these cars, I would definitely do your research. The problems I experienced are quite common. An update a year after the original review. Car now has 77k miles. Past the bumper to bumper warranty. Had to replace all four ignition coils and replace spark plugs at 72k due to misfires again. Hyundai has extended the warranty for the door latches; my passenger rear door does not open from the inside or outside. My air conditioner has a leak inside the dash, so the vehicle is without air conditioning. I do not drive hard, nor fast. I’m a stickler for vehicle maintenance as well. I am not happy with how the vehicle has lasted and can not recommend anyone purchasing one that does not come with a warranty. It still gets terrific gas mileage, but if the vehicle market was not so bad I would not still be driving it. Update; 83k ignition coils started to fail again. Dealership had no way to open the rear door that was stuck and Hyundai refused to pay to have the interior door panel ripped apart and replaced. Received a notice from my insurance company that because of recent events regarding thefts, my premium was jumping. Scheduled the car for the theft recall, but unfortunately while shopping a few days before I was to bring the car in, some nice people decided to break into the vehicle and steal it before literally launching it off a bridge. I guess that was one way to solve this nightmare. I will never buy a Korean car again. Good luck to anyone that buys these things used. Expect to fix a lot of things that don’t normally break, or have some teenagers attempt to steal the car from videos they saw on TikTok.

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

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.
