I only have 2 complaints...the city gas mileage is horrible and the MPG meter is not accurate. With that said, I LOVE my car. I needed an inexpensive car (the Value Edition with all the bells and whistles except leather for $16k) with the extras I like and good hwy gas mileage. Don't believe these other reviews that say they get 42 MPG on the hwy. Yes, the meter will say 40+, but my actual average sits right between 38 and 39 mpg. I stay at 5 mph over the speed limit. So if the limit is 70, I cruise at 75. Your mpg will increase if you stay at 60-65, it's just not sustainable for hours on end. I actually fill my tank and do the math with gallons bought and actual mileage. I bought my car 11/20/2017 (2018 model) and as of 6/6/2018 I have 48k miles. So I've had LOTS of gas fill ups and my average stands consistently. Actual city gas mileage is about 25 mpg. I don't drive crazy and 99% of the time it's in Eco mode. I LOVE the cargo space. No car in its class can beat the Elantra's value. Although I don't drive crazy, I have seen what it can do. It's a bit sluggish in Eco mode (especially with the AC on), but I'm ok with that because I want the higher gas mileage. In normal mode it's as good as any other car and responds with no hesitation. And when you find yourself needing that extra kick, Sport mode is awesome! The front seats could be more comfortable...but in its class, it's about par.

I purchased a brand new Elantra 2018. there is a knocking noise when accelerating. took it to dealership. they advise me to use good gas stations. they mentioned to" avoid certain gas stations" to see how it goes .There is also sometimes a clicking noise coming from the fuse box in the engine when vehicle is in idle. I will take it back to the dealership. My previous vehicles were Toyotas. No issues with them.

Traded in my 2014 Elantra for 2018 Elantra. 2018 is roomier and newer technology I am enjoying such as Blindspot warning, larger LCD screen, better back up camera and lots more. I find it a little sluggish cimpared to 2014. This is my 3rd Hyundai. Great pricing and trade in from my dealership.

Owned it now a little over seven weeks. Can't speak to overall reliability yet, but overall very satisfied. Great mileage including four hours highway, steep mountain terrain riding and city driving and my overall mpg was around 41 on one tank of gas! Terrific first impressions (love the heated seats on the Value model) with just a few caveats on the transmission/shifting. (It could be just me getting used to the car.) *I've owned the car for one year and have had a few issues with the heating system. Yesterday the check engine light was fixed by the dealer with a replacement thermostat part. The ride is kind of bumpy over rough roads, but then again it is a light car, not a fat luxury vehicle.

Easy to park especially when people leave a tire out or park over the line. Its small enough for parking spaces but still big on the inside. Cheap on gas. Amazing fuel economy. Big trunk. Hot heated seats. Sunroof makes car feel bigger. Controls are very easy and logically laid out. Visibility is great. Backup camera is clear. Daytime lights are sharp and bright make car look premium. Seats alittle firm but cheap fix at marshalls for 15 dollars.
