A no nonsense car

The car before the Elantra was a Mazda turbo 5 speed. I have always driven manual transmissions I bought this car based on the low mileage and that it was a manual. Believed in the sales staff who didn’t try to convince me that I wanted an automatic:

Hyundai Elantra

I purchased my Elantra new and have been very satisfied with the vehicle. It still gets great gas mileage after six years. It is a great car that is not too small nor too large and is perfect for me.

Been a good budget commuter car

I have owned my 2012 Hyundai Elantra Limited since new when I bought it new in Oct 2011. It has been a good reliable car with a decent warranty. Cost of operation has been pretty low. The Hyundai Gas Mileage Lawsuit guarantee also pays me occasionally for the car not getting the 40 MPG Hwy that was claimed when the car was new. Even with this I get about 28 MPG in stop and go rush hour traffic and it can get 35 MPG on the Hwy if you keep it under 70 mph. I have 97,000 miles on the car and it has only been in the shop for oil changes, recall repair, and maintenance. I am on my third set of tires and had the rear\front brakes replaced. My main complaint is ride quality. It has a rear torsion suspension so the car rides pretty rough overall and worse on uneven pavement. Fitting the car with a decent but softer all weather tires mitigates most of the rough ride at the expense of some gas mileage and tire wear. Considering what I paid for the car it has been well worth the investment. I would consider a Hyundai and maybe even a Genesis model in the future although I would want a bigger car with a better ride.

Elantra OK

Most things about the Elantra are quite good. However, it's hard to get over the promises of great gas mileage, which we do not get. Also, the height adjustment is insufficient for my wife's seating. She sits to low to properly see over the dashboard. We had to purchase a cushion foe her to properly see over the dashboard.

2012 Elantra

I have tihis car for 6 years now and it still running like a brand new. There was a problem with the shifting mechanism but it was fixed under the powertrain warranty. And it is at smooth as it was before again. The car is fun to drive and it is very responsive as long as the ECO is off. It is gas economical especially when you are driving alone. Haven’t use it for a very long drive but it is very reliable in city driving. I like how the body paint retains its lustre. It looks shiny everytime it is washed.

evaluation

Vehicle is dependable. I have driven it around town and on long highway trips. There should be a rear window wiper and, a standard backup camera, not just one that is "available." Overall, the car is comfortable and reliable. I have serviced the vehicle according to manufacturer's schedule for 60,000 miles. A big negative is the location of the "A" pillar. It hinders the view of oncoming traffic when making a left turn on a curve.

Nice little car with awesome gas mileage

Aside from a problem with the main computer board a couple of months after the warranty expired, we have been very pleased with this vehicle. It's not a corvette, but it certainly does what we need, and its fuel efficiency is very impressive.

Fine car but disappointing gas mileage

This is a well-made, comfortable, well-performing car; we've owned it for almost 6 years. Everything works every time; however, we've never been able to get close to the 39 mpg the manufacturer promises. After having the car serviced this last time, we're trying a different tire pressure and hope it improves our mileage. If it does, we'll write a more positive review next time. The point is that, even with the mileage problems, this is a great car and we'll probably buy a Hyundai to replace it.

Good car

Bought it used 12/16 and i have put 35k miles on the car in a little over a year. Minimal maintenance/repairs. Its been one of the best cars I've owned and I've owned alot of cars. Only thing i don't like Is the pillars at the windshield they give a huge blind spot

Love my car

Got my 2012 Elantra new on lease, in 2014 bought out the lease and still have it. Pushing 90,000 miles on her now, just had front brakes and some suspension work done. This was the only out of ordinary work needed on her

Good for the price

Although the mpg not as they mentioned but the car overall is good car and worth the price. I bought two years back and faced no issues at all. Except the rear brake start getting stuck once I changed the rotors and disk pads, never faced this in any car as I owned at least 20 different brand of cars

My son’s 2012 Hyundai Elantra

I bought this for my son for reliable transportation two years ago. It has not let us down. I would recommend all Hyundai’s to people. Every person I know that owns one love’s theirs as much as we do.

Great

It's a great gas saver with these high butt gas prices, comfortable, reliable so far as long as it's taken care of. I believe if you keep up the maintenance it will last a long time! Took it back for a recall and the staff was great!

great everyday drive

I bought my Elantra used and have not been disappointed. It's a nice car to drive to work and shopping. Easy to park. It is really an easy car to maintain. My Elantra feels like a quality drive on a budget price., and it looks great too (even 6 years later!)

As whole, Elantra is affordable car for any purpose

Body's Aerodynamic is great, and as whole body design is nice. Acceleration of Elantra is really fun because of having 1800 horse power which is totally appropriate with body weight . The seats are comfortable. Trunk capacity is enough for a four door car.
