It's fine but, it's no Honda

Hyundai uses 'B' parts Honda uses 'A' parts. Meaning it's wears down earlier than a Honda. When it comes time to replace a Honda you do because you're tired of it. With the Hyundai you do it because you're forced to.

Cheap made and it doesn't last long. I bought it because the dealership said that it was the only vehicle that I qualified for out of the whole lot. Yes it good on gas but the headaches that I have had with the vehicle it out weighs the good.

Never Again

I own a 2019 hyundai elantra. Bought new. This is my second hyundai and Im not only sorry I gave this company a second chance but Im embarrassed. My first Hyundai, a sonata was preowned certified car from my hyundai dealership. I had nothing but problems with that first car. I finally let it go to the big junk yard grave. Even after swearing to never have another hyundai I, against everything that I had to deal with the first one bought a 2019 hyundai elantra. So heres my take. The reason I gave 2 stars is that its good on gas. And thats pretty much it folks! The seats are the most uncomfortable of any car Ive ever sat. Its loud. The ride is not smooth despite high end tires. I have approx 50k miles on it and have already had the steering column replaced and now the gas door wont open so it’ll need to be serviced for that. In addition, my radio will come on randomly while driving. Sometimes the display screen is black when starting the car and I have to turn the car off and open the door and restart the engine to make it come back on. Of course when taking to hyundai dealership the standard answer is “we are not able to replicate your problem. Save yourself time trouble and issues by driving past your local hyundai dealership. There are much better options. Dont forget Kia is a sister Co. They are no better, if not worse.

Broken in twice in one year

The only reason this vehicle is still in my possession is because it has a manual transmission. Both times, the thieves failed to get the car moving. I've had to pay for three broken side door windows and a busted steering column. Hyundai's new free software update did nothing to prevent carjackers from breaking my windows and steering column. $1200 in parts and labor could have been saved if I had chosen a different manufacturer that did not try to nickle and dime their customers. For all the money spent on legal settlements, they could have just slightly raised the MSRP and added an engine immobilizer. If it hadn't been for the settlement, new buyers would still be paying $170 for practically the same software "upgrade." It's just insulting for a carmaker to take advantage of customers that trusted their vehicles in such a way. I am never buying, leasing or renting a Hyundai or Kia again for these reasons, no matter how great the car might be otherwise. Their schemes to cut costs and avoid paying up for their shortcomings has discouraged from ever working with Hyundai/Kia again. Besides the anti theft measures, the 2019 Hyundai Elantra is an okay vehicle, which doesn't matter if it keeps getting stolen, because it's easy to steal. The engine is reliable and you get your money's worth. Just note that the suspension is very rough and uncomfortable.

What do I think of the 2019 Elantra

I would rather drive an old truck thats missing its suspension. This car is DULL. The "Sport" modes are about as responsive as a toaster. out of the sport setting the car gets even worse. The lane assist, while it does its job is Tesla wannabe in the active assist mode. The interior plastics are cheaper than a dollar store toy. there is plenty of fake carbon fiber and the like, because "its a sports car". Bull. the infotainment system is the only redeeming feature. Its responsive and works well, unlike the suspension and steering, which causes the whole car to sway side to sway if you turn the wheel to quick. Over all if you hate driving and dont care about the feel of a car, get this one.
