Best car ever

I have been a die hard Buick buyer all my adult life, my last car being a 2013 Verano. Since I didn't want an SUV or truck, I had to start looking elsewhere for a sedan. After seeing the ads and doing my due dilligence, I decided to give the Elantra a try. When I test drove it, I was very impressed. I got the SEL with the Convenience package and got everything I wanted on my car and more. I have had the car for just over two weeks and I can't wait to get in it and drive every day. It has a great ride and it is very easy to park. I would recommend this car to anyone.

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.

Its Nice Untill Its Not

Bought 2021 Elantra in the spring and have had it about 7 months. Its a nice looking car with all the tech at an affordable price. BUT, it is not without issue. The sensors and electronics have always been a little quirky from the first moment. Headlights switching on and off randomly, blind spot warning going off for no reason, frontal collision warning going off for things on the side of the road and my least favorite, the emergency braking system going off because of the lanes swaying some on a highway. Lane departure assist doesn't like construction barriers either. I ended up turning as much of these off as possible within the first month. As well, a few times it has failed to start but started on the second try. The final straw was it suddenly had every single emergency light going off, all the electronics out, power steering out, and even the outside temperature reader out. It still drove.. but obviously not as intended. Good news is its not hard to drive without power steering.. A Hyundai representative actually told me that due to Covid, some of their quality control measures were lacking. Then told me that when one sensor goes.. they all go. A design choice made by Hyundai for the 2021 models. I gave it two stars simply because it is a nice car and I enjoy being able to start it remotely with climate control settings. Unfortunately, I do regret buying this as it has already needed repairs and been a major inconvenience.
