Great value for the money

Bought the 2021 Hyundai Elantra SEL with premium convenience pkg. So many safety features are on incorporated into this car. Ride and seats are very comfortable and gas mileage is great at 41 mpg highway. Also, on top of that you get 3 year maintenance and 10 year Hyundai Powertrain warranty. Great car for the money.

It’s a pretty great car, just make sure you know what accessories your car has before buying it.

Chronic problem

Vehicle did several lockouts I had to enter the vehicle through the app and when it does this the Collision light is on they can't find any problem wrong with it I just know that I can't move the car for like 8 hours and then it'll go off and then everything is fine it did that about four times the main kicker is when I was driving down 95 Expressway good thing it was at night Collision light was activated and car just stopped the corporation the dealership is aware of the problem but they can't do anything about it because they don't see any codes I'm just driving this car and wondering what's going to happen next but I must say the Elantra is not all that bad we purchased two we purchased one the day before and then the one that I'm having problems with the next day the one that we purchased the day before same as that model it's giving us no problems this one I don't know if this car is going to kill me and the dealership will not swap me out because I purchased another Elantra before this model was basic I told them when the premiums come in let me know they did they reassured me that nothing from the old loan will be adding on to the new loan but of course I was lied to but that was my fault I should have read everything but trusting the finance manager this is what that gets me you would think that they would do the right thing just by just walking the car out but no it's all about money so I would just continue driving this vehicle wondering one day will it kill me or someone else oh yeah Hyundai Corporation they're willing to do a buyback but leave me with no vehicle and a $14,000 balance over my head it's not going to happen

Body panels can't take any abuse what's so ever. Better gas mileage than any car I've ever owned. The lane assist hates freeway patches, wants to follow the black patch lines, all cars with this teck has the same problem. Some much cabin space for 4 adults. Miss the center console in the rear for coffee or water bottles. Seven months of daily driving and not one problem to even bring up. Not one rattle or squeak. Several peoples reviews have problems with there dealers service file complains with Hyundai and the problems will be fixed rather quickly.Hyundai takes customer service very serious and won't allow dealers to treat customers badly. By the Elantra and enjoy.
