replaced our 2017 Elantra limited with the 2019 Elantra limited.both great gas mileage, very reliable,great controls.pickup is okay, ride and handling very good.the 19 has a nicer interior and more comfortable seats.the 19 seems a little quieter.has a heated steering wheel and better safety features.for the price it is a great value, and very inexpensive maintenance.within the compact class of cars the Elantra should be a strong contender.

When I buy a car, I spend at least 1-2 weeks everyday searching, test driving and reading reviews before I buy. I never gave Hyundai a thought until I drove one. Their quality, looks, design, options are so much better now than 10 years ago. WOW is all I can say. The 2019 is very nice. I love the new body trims, style and features. The 2019 is way different than the 2018. I test drove both and I bought the 2019 Elantra SEL. For the money you get a great reasonable price car. I was shocked to find the insurance very low on these as well. I always get insurance quotes before I buy a car, that is huge. The warranty was another factor why I bought this car. No one can beat the warranties on this car. This car ride is very smooth and powerful. It has three modes: ECO, SMART and SPORT!! I love them all. The sport mode is awesome!! It has so much power to it. I am getting 36-37MPG combined city and Highway. I drive 85% highway. I dropped in a K&N Filter and now I get 38MPG. The car seats are sport seats and are good quality. They hug you where you need it. Overall, I like the features of this car. Everything in the cabin is positioned at arm’s length. That's a plus. It has a lot of upgraded options for an excellent price. I bought this car before the 4 Hyundai rebates ended. I even got this car for Invoice price before the rebates. That is why I bought it. Who wouldn't buy it if you get some much off. The trick is to buy a car 1-2 days before the end of the month. The dealers want to increase their car sales. That is where you get the best price!! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HYUNDAI TO ANYONE WHO IS LOOKING. THESE ARE FUN TO DRIVE AS WELL AS BEING VERY REALIABLE. Pros Great Price for the 2019 cars! Great gas mileage Smooth ride Awesome modes: SPORT, ECO and SMART!! Great Quality in seats. They huge you like sport seats Nice quiet engine Comfortable cabin with buttons all at arms reach

1 year of ownership 2019 Value Edition

Very good car for the price. Lots of technology and safety features - in fact I have to turn some off since I am used to not having so much! I do love the radars when backing up, and the collision avoidance system is amazing. The heated seats are really nice and comfortable. Mine is an metallic pearl white with beige interior. You have to be careful as the interior plastic scratches easily, so watch the door scuffs getting in and out of the car, they are hard to remove. The same goes for the other plastic surfaces, but most cares these days are the same. The hands free automatic trunk is roomy with cargo net and dual sided mat with full size spare tire. Be careful with the paint at the car wash around the bottom of the car. The powerful water jet was so strong it took off a small section of the rock guard and paint which had to be repaired. Hand clean only or use the brush at the car wash! The engine is powerful once you learn how to use it. Its designed for high MPG, so there is trade off for raw power. Most of the time I get all the power I need, you have to discover the powerbands. Trust me, the power is there especially on the freeway.

Elantra SE

Ok, so I didn't buy an Elantra, but I just rented one for a week. We drove it from San Francisco to Yosemite, Tahoe, northern California and back to SF. 2,000 miles in six days - through some of the scariest roads I've ever been on. This little car rocked. It was steady and solid. It never once felt overwhelmed. From climbing 9% grades for miles at 101° with four people and I aboard with all our gear. Our SE model was simple and basic but it was definitely up to our challenge. What really impressed me was the 40+ mpg we got for the the overall trip. Very impressed with this little car!

Shortly before retiring to FL in 2004, we purchased a new Sonata which gave us some 90K miles and was one of the most comfortable and certainly the most reliable car I had ever owned, more so than of the various Detroit products I had owned during the preceding 45 years. We then purchased a very low mileage used 2008 Accent, another great Hyundai product but, because of changing family circumstances, we gifted that to our daughter in MI and it is still her reliable daily carrier (and it replaced her own 2003 Accent). In 2013, traded the Sonata for a new Elantra, and for some 6 years, it outshone the Sonata. And I am now the proud owner of a 2019 Elantra with more bells & whistles than I can yet deal with, including leather seating. While they may not quite compare with my 1989 Chrysler New Yorker with "pure Corinthian leather" (the best seating that Detroit ever produced!), they all I could ask for. As a "test drive", I made my annual road trips to Ann Arbor, MI and again to Athens, GA during the month of June, putting some 3,500 trouble-free and most enjoyable miles on the new car; maintained a near-steady 43 MPG up and down I-75; made great use of my Sirius XM radio, as well as my plug & play MP-3 player and a small, single-disc plug & play CD player and my Android Auto navigation system, all of which added greatly to the trips. What with my advancing age, this may well be the last new car I will ever buy, but all I can say is that I was so pleased to discover the line of Hyundais those 15 years ago! Incidentally, all of the reviews by Consumer Reports )my "bible" for most purchases) seem to bear out my observations and conclusions.

Great Value with Excellent Safety Features

If you want great safety features that are hard to find in other brands unless you move up into higher level models and higher prices. The gas mileage is super as is the 100,000 mile warranty. The value for what I paid to drive the car off the dealer's lot was just great! I am super happy with all aspects of the car. Prior to purchasing this 2019 SEL I had a 2013 Elantra GLS for six years and it never gave me any maintenance problems. Hard for me to believe but I paid more for the 2013 than I did not the 2019 that has many more features such as blind side monitoring, rear camera, lane control, etc.
