Hyundai Elantra GT 2013
I had always bought Toyotas prior to buying the Hyundai Elantra GT so I wasn't sure about the quality. Now that it has 85,000 and I have been driving it for about 6.5 years, I think I can comment. For the price the Hyundai came with a lot of extras that I couldn't have or were available on other car brands except at sometimes limited edition levels which priced them out (i.e. heated seats and fog lights). It is a little light and bouncy so when you go over a dip with a curve, it feels like you need to slow down because of the rear end but that is the only complaint I have about the drive. So far I have had two problems, one was the switch inhibitor which was fixed by the dealer (causes the car not to start because doesn't recognize the car is in park - found problem on youtube so I came prepared to the dealer) and just recently a bad ignition coil which made the car feel like the transmission was jerking/hesitating when I was going around 40-45 mph. I have had little problems like this in all brands of cars I have owned in the past so I can't say the Hyundai is any better or worse but it was cheaper in price so I'm pleasantly happy so far. I will have to do another review when I get to 160,000 miles. I average about 30 mpg and I drive combined highway and city so the fuel efficiency isn't quite as high as I was hoping for but not bad.
