Had my doubts about the new IVT trans.

After a test drive fell in love with the new trans.. With Hyundai's 100k power train warranty, not worried about it being a new design. Hyundai continues to improve sound quality. This is my third elantra & each new vehicle has been a very noticeable improvements years. ( usually trade every 3 or 4 years. In the 2020 model many new safety features have been added from my 2017 edition. Only have a few hundred miles on it so far, will keep you updated as the mileage increases. All three of my Elantras have averaged better than 40 mpg. A real surprise was that Hyundai finally added a REAL horn to this vehicle.👍 👏 😀

Bad Transmission

Transmission failed at 3500 miles and had to be completely replaced (took over 2 weeks but was covered by warranty). Now at 6500 miles it is happening again and I was essentially told I would have to pay or wait for it to completely fail again. If it does, I will be contacting a lawyer about lemon laws. I need a reliable car and can't afford to rent a car for two weeks every three months.

Love my 2020 Elantra

Drove a 2017 Elantra Ltd for 2+ years, then thought I needed a bigger vehicle and bought a 2019 Toyota Rav 4. Traded that in after 3 months for a 2020 Elantra. Love this car. Love the way it handles, love the gas mileage, the seats, the way it looks, the onboard gps, the sound system. Love the color(red). I smile every time I get in the car. Zippy car and fun to drive. It is the ultimate.

I bought a new 2020 Hyundai Elantra in Dec. 2019. In Dec. 2020 the car had to be towed because the transmission went. The car had 7,000 miles.

I have owned this car almost 3 years now. No problems except it takes the engine longer than most cars to warm up in cold weather which I am told is normal. I drive in eco mode and get ~ 36 MPG and I drive about 8000+ miles a year.The car looks great in the red color. It has sufficient power for me, is reasonably confortable on highway trips, has all the tech I want including Blind Spot Monitoring and Cross Traffic Alert which both work well. For a compact car it has a lot of room.
