Motor mount after motor mount
So I do like the car. It has treated me well. However it has been the poster child for all the TSBs. My thermostat failed at 500 miles. Come 5 months later the check engine light came on for the thermostat, and I ended up needing a software reflash. Then I developed a clunking noise on right turns. Replaced a strut. No dice. Replaced the motor mount, fixed the issue. Come not even 2000 miles later the motor mount needed to be replaced again. Hyundai updated the passenger side motor mount to a new part number as the rubber stopper seemed to have issues in the 2017 models. Now my suspension just creaks and groans on right turns when cold. Did it since brand new. The interior though is awesome and the car overall drives great. I had a 15 Elantra and the gas mileage in the new one is much better. Transmission does short shift at times but not too bad. Engine is smooth as well. Not a bad car but kinda tired of the repetitive issues. May consider something else but not all the elantras have a bunch of problems
Smooth, quiet, exceeds expectations
I've owned mine for a year having downsized from a much larger car. My Elantra drives beautifully, it is smooth, quiet and composed with all the power that I need. Gas mileage averages 33mpg, but easily exceeds 40 mpg on the highway at about 65mph. It is also surprisingly roomy for a compact with decent head and leg room in the rear, the sedan version is much roomier than the hatchback. I did not expect to end up wit this car but I was impressed with the test drive and the price and 0/0 financing made it a great deal.

Great ride!
Having swapped out a past-its-prime vehicle, I got a smooth ride in the Elantra. Everything worked. I couldn't be happier with my choice.

Great car.
Central Ohio driver. Bought new late in 2018. I am by no means a picky driver but I really do like everything about the car. Only one year has passed but I'd recommend the car if anyone is considering to buy this car used. Most of all I like the tech features using Android auto(never had it before) and according to the car gauge I can easily get upwards of 38+ mpg over the course of any week which is mostly highway driving to and from work. Time will tell on total life of the car but I am one to keep my car for it's lifespan. I don't trade in etc. so I will see.
