Great Car
This is a car for those who want to keep a car for the long haul. I have had mine for almost 10 years. It is great on gas and very low maintenance. The only drawback is the fact it is not for large build people but on the otherhand...once in there is sufficient Room up front. When driving it feels super safe.

Best compact car out there.
My Elantra came with the best vehicle warranty of any other car. Have never had a problem with this car. It rides and handles great and is quite comfortable on long trips. Best of all, you get a lot more for your money than the other makers compact cars.
I plan to buy a new Elantra in the near future.

car caught fire, hyundai jerked me around on repairs
Car caught fire when turned off sitting in my driveway. The ABS system shorted out and burned up. How this happened without the key in it I will never understand. 88k cars were recalled for similar defect but mine wasnt. It was only through God's grace that the car wasnt parked in the garage that day or it would have burned down my house. Since it was parked in the driveway a neighbor saw and called the fire department. Hyundai spent 6 months jerking me around and refusing to repair the car. I have never been treated worse by a company. The car has a major defect in it that can burn your home down do not buy. The interior and everything is very cheap and chintzy and falls apart after a few years of use. My car is about 10yrs old but the newest models are not any nicer. No major improvements in a decade but they cost $5,000 more!

Pros
It holds up pretty well in accidents I've wrecked it a few times and it held up. My honda fit got in one minor wreck and was totaled.

Quality is poor, the horn quit working after a year , the alarm would go off randomly ,sun visors fell apart, AC goes on and off constantly and the ABS system caught fire when the car was off. traction control system randomly goes on and off. its a piece of junk

We’ve bought our 4th Elantra ... that pretty much says it all!
Over the years, we have purchased 4 Hyundai Elantras. We drove the third one 293,990 miles before passing it on to someone else. It’s still in great shape and, hopefully, will go many more miles! The only reason we bought a new one was so we’d be starting new and have it paid off before retirement.

WOW
I have a 2009 Elantra. It's the most reliable car I've ever had. It's comfortable and easy to maneuver. Would but another Hyundai in a second. Im looking at the new.Kona. it seems just the right size for me, but since my Elantra only had 29,000 miles it might be awhile.

My Elantra has been a reliable good vehicle for past 9 years and now at 166,000 miles continues to be dependable. I have enjoyed it’s maneuverability and comfort in seating. Most features have been durable and the car has maintained its design as a good style.

Probably the best new car I have ever purchased
Bought new and have had it 10 years. Only problem is that now and then the door locks up when closed without setting the alarm. Weird. Also, had to replace the struts during warranty period. I like the big room inside for a little car.

My elantra is a 2009 and no lie it has been the best car I have ever purchased. It holds its value enough that I was able to borrow against it twice after it was paid off to get stuff done.? Love My Haundai!

2009 Elantra served us well
Our 2009 Elantra has 293,990 miles on it and is still running strong. We just bought a 2018 Elantra and hope it runs as well as the 2009, which we hope to sell. The 2018 is our fourth Elantra so, obviously, we like the car.

Have had my Elantra for 9 years and still shines and feels like new. Never any problems and is very reliable. Only negative thing I have experienced is it doesn't stop well on snow. If I keep it longer I may try snow tires.

My 2009 Hyundai Touring.
I have owned my Elantra Touring since buying it new in 2009 and could not be more satisfied. As a registered nurse (BSN) it is imperative I fill my shifts at Yale. I have commuted over 75 miles from home every day (all year) and have never had a breakdown. When I bought it my husband researched cars by comparing the technical components and compared them to a similar BMW. The Elantra was about half the price at the time. I think he was right, 180,000 miles with only scheduled maintenance service and I still commute with it every day.
Recommended
Pros
Lots of room, good gas mileage and reliability. Inexpensive to maintain and good mechanics and features.
