1) Great fuel economy (I get 53-54 mpg in spring). It'll cross 56 mpg in summer for sure with 70 % city driving & 30% highway. 2) Great high-end interiors, especially the seats & the long touch screen curving glass dashboard. 3) Jazzy exterior looks without being too Funky or too streamlined. 4) sport mode gives you a rush if one wanted to, but then you need to compromise the fuel economy. 5)Best value for money Limited vehicle at just 30,000 + taxes. A Prius is 6k dearer to buy & I'm not OK with that as Hyundai is an equally reputable brand. Hope when I review again after a year, I can still talk in such glowing terms.

What's not to love? Once you learn to feather the gas pedal 57 to 59 mpg's are totally possible. Very comfortable to drive. It is a great road trip vehicle with plenty of room for luggage. We have taken it to Florida and South Carolina and continue to plan more adventures in the near future.

It never seemed to shift right took it back twice and the dealer said that’s the way it shifts. Had the transmission fluid changed at 59k at 61k started shifting poorly. Took to dealer. It needs new transmission. No ETA on transmission. That tells me it must be a real problem because Hyundai suppler doesn't have one and doesn’t know when they will have one. Have a paid for rent a car but can’t drive it for work. I do gigs full time. So beware.
Great Commuter for the Price

Aside from the excessive dealer markups, the cost for this car is pretty great for what you get, though there are some issues. Driving experience is pretty enjoyable. All the driver assist tech works quite nicely and I don’t find the alerts annoying as they can be in some newer vehicles like Subaru. The touch screen and speedometer screen are crystal clear and easy to use. Love the cooled seats, adjustable center cup holders, and ambient lighting. When the engine is warmed up, it feels surprisingly quick and fun to drive around the city. Averaging about 50mpg is a huge plus as well. Additionally, trunk space is decent for a compact car. Sport mode is useful now and then but it makes the transmission feel super jerky and you immediately lose mpg. Back seats are comfy, but lack any modern features, all you get is cup holders that are too small for most things. The cup holders on the doors are useless, way too small. Sound quality is a huge disappointment, some electronic and bass heavy music sounds alright, but any older recordings with guitar sound so bad that I don’t even enjoy listening to my favorite songs. It all sounds like setting your phone inside a plastic cup to amplify the sound, can’t believe this is what Bose has to offer. Maybe it’s just because there is so much plastic in this car. Overall I think this would be a great car for someone who primarily needs an efficient commuter vehicle. If you don’t care about sound quality and usually don’t have many passengers, it’s perfect. Audiophiles should stay away, I don’t how I missed that in the test drives.

Great MPG with hybrid

I have the Hybrid Blue. MPG was in mid 40 to 50 mpg range during the winter months (in Minnesota). But as soon as it got warm the milage is consistently hitting 60+mpg. The car is comfortable and fun to drive. Most disappointed with cruise control. Can not adjust speed one mph without excessive acceleration or deceleration. I've never had a cruise control this bad. Update after 1 year... I enjoy driving the car. Wouldn't shy away from taking long drives as it is comfortable. Found ways to deal with cruise control issues. Hyundai doesn't seem to be working on improvements. Update on 4/15/2025. Hyundai has issued a service recall for the cruise control. My Elantra has been upgraded and the cruise control issue has been resolved. Now I would say the worst thing about this vehicle is road noise at freeway speeds. But for the cost this can be considered normal. I remain very happy with this vehicle considering the price and the gas milage.
