Love it, except

I love everything about my car expect the sqweeky brakes. I bought it 3 years ago and I noticed sqweeky brakes a week or so after I bought it. Since then, I’ve had them look at the brakes multiple times. They’ve been replaced 3 times, cleaned, and I’ve been told there’s nothing wrong with them multiple times. The sqweek can be annoying. Other than that. It’s been great for me. I haven’t had a lot of issues. I love my car.

2011 Elantra

I have been very pleased with the performance, comfort and miles per gallon of my Elantra. So happy it runs on regular gas, no more premium gas prices for me. Heated leather seats are comfortable and have held up well.

Excellent Ride

My Elantra I bought used, but whoever owned it before put in a very nice audio system. The steering (in my opinion of course) is amazing. You feel like you have full control of the car without having to use much effort to guide the steering wheel left or right. Braking is on point, while the acceleration takes time to build it. Given it is a fuel economy car, so the hp isn't as strong anyway. My model is the limited edition so the heated leather seats are an excellent must have during the winter. I will agree on the cabin size being small. I'm 5'10 and my head is close to brushing the ceiling. The backseat leg room is tight as most say, but it isn't much of a problem. Again, this is a fuel economy car so size and power aren't a priority. I would recommend finding an Elantra is 17" rims so it matches the body of the Elantra. Makes it look sporty and not as fat. Summing it up, the 2011 Elantra is an excellent car if you are looking for fuel saving (cost too) and modern style ride. Don't expect as much leg room or horsepower though.

Good starter car with asterisks

This was one of the few cars I bought new. I purchased it when gas in my area was almost $4.00 per gallon, expecting to own it for 7 years. I now have 118k miles on it after 9 years. The vehicle has held up pretty well in all but 2 areas: The engine began knocking at 9,500 miles, the "Next Track" button on the steering wheel failed early on and the worst issue is that this vehicle will dent in every hail storm or casual door ding it encounters. I've had my KIA van and this car in the driveway during a small hailstorm and the KIA has yet to show a hail dent while the Elantra was estimated (by the insurance adjustor) to have about 750 dents that effectively totaled the car. In subsequent storms, the damage is compounded and I have about 20 door dings and dents from parking lots. Again, the other cars I have owned do not have these scars and they are in the same environments.

Great fuel economy.

My first nice car in 20 years !! Love the fuel mileage and leather interior. Heated seats and the limited package is perfect for me. I really like the trunk pass thru to the black seat. The car has very stylish designs.

Innovation

The staff always keeps me informed on what's going on (status of what is needed and estimate the time that it should be before a problem exists. Most times there's no waiting, ready to provide service requested and they usually can tell you about the time the car will be ready, which is good. Thanks for your service.

2011 Elantra

Purchased car used 14 months ago. Love most things about it. Only issues are loud valve clatter until warm up (may be normal for this engine; no loss of power or oil burning) and it is terrible in snow. OK under normal snow conditions, but it there is snow or ice on only left or right side of road, car pitches violently. On summer roads it drives like a dream.

Better than expected

This car is going strong at just over 160k miles. Seems like this is pretty well built. Little issues with all the windows raising mechanisms breaking, air lost compression. But “cheep” fixes. Hoping this continues for another 100k!

2X Elantra owner

When this car was new I loved everything especially the color and reliability The only down side were the factory tires I kept getting air bubbles in my tires I had to have at least 7 tires replaced but lucky I signed up for an insurance that covered this When that coverage ended I bought another type of tire and never had another air bubble As time and miles went on I started having more issues but the one reason I need to get another car is due to the lack of stability when I drive in snow I use all season tires I don't have space to store snow tires off season I love Elantras but not in upstate New york in winter

Hyundai Review

Would not recommend this vehicle to someone nor purchase another Elantra. Blind spots have caused several near misses with either pedestrians or other vehicles. As far as suspension system and road handling, it's one of the worst vehicles I've ever driven.

Great car, reliable...but....

I find the radio's bluetooth to be annoying. I have to force it to connect a lot of the time, and when using the car to dial numbers, it's like it was programmed by an idiot. I say, "Dial" and the number, then it repeats the number and asks if I want to dial it. Uh, really? Did I not say "Dial" in the first place? It also has a constant tendency to get names completely wrong, especially when running the AC on maximum or having the window rolled down. Other than all that, the car is great.

Piston slap & ticking

I purchased my 2011 Elantra Aug 2014 with 27k in Massachusetts. The car is running strong with 98k. I've driven it coast to coast. However, some issues with this model include piston slap (knocking) and ticking while cold. When warm, the engine purrs. I change the oil every 3k miles because Hyundai has said that engine failure in some Elantras, due to sludge, is the owners' fault. They were sued in a class action in NY and I believe they settled by raising warranty to 120k miles for original owners.

My Trusty Lantra.

GREAT car! Always reliable, agile and very comfortable. This is my second Elantra (other was 09), and both have really proven themselves. It handles Chicago winters exceptionally well, too! I do not hesitate to recommend this trusty and stylish car to people.

Elantra 2011

My wife and I thoroughly like our 2011 Elantra but on the day we brought it in for its annual inspection we were made an exceptional offer on a new 2014 Elasntra GT for only $45 a month more than we were paying for the 2011.

Fabulous car

I've had my Elantra for three years now and I love it. It gets great gas mileage. It handles like a dream. I love all the features, but my favorite is the 3 blink turn signal feature. I've recommended Hyundais to my friends.
