2012 Elantra

Although I enjoy driving my Elantra, I would suggest several improvements: The car does not have a lot of "pick up" on the highway; also, the weight of the car is such that it "moves" or "sways" in windy weather, along the freeway or highway driving; also, the starter/ignition already had to be replaced, along with a sensor in the shifting apparatus. I felt that a 4-year old car should not have had to have this replaced; I have never had this issue with any previously owned cars (none of them Hyundais). Sometimes the defrost system causes the windows to steam over, causing vision issues until it clears up. I'm not certain I would buy another Elantra, but I do like the size and comfort of the car, and the style.

2012 hyundai elantra

vehicle provides reliable transportation, satisfactory mpg, fairly comfortable. The color metallic blue is easy to find in a parking lot. Negatives are: no rear windshield wiper, obstructed view from driver's side (the A-pillar at the junction of the windshield and the door blocks the view of oncoming traffic when turning left), very difficult to see behind the vehicle without a camera; therefore backing up is tricky.

Happy With My Elantra

I had been concerned that the Elantra had not been time tested for reliability when I purchased it in 2011. I am happy to report, that I've had no major issue, other than a tail light short that was quickly repaired under warranty by the service department. So far it has started up when I've needed it, every time! For an economy car, it has been a great companion.

What a great car

I have the Elantra Limited. I just love my car. This package has the heated leather seats, better rims, & sunroof. The seats are very comfortable and the car gives a nice smooth ride. The car does great on gas, I get 35 MPH. I dislike the radio, I keep having blue tooth issue that are the radio as the issues keep happening and I'm on my third phone. Otherwise, the radio works well, just not so good with bluetooth devices.

Great, economical car!

The Elantra is a great family car. It gets great gas mileage, has adequate power and is equally comfortable in town or on cross country trips.

Hyundai Elantra

Engine: runs rough even when idiling. Can do with a 7 speed transmission! Suspensions rear should be independent. To improve handling and comfort. Front suspension is hard. Would like to see an AWD version with 1.8 L turbo

great car

This car is the perfect size for me, and has incredible gas mileage. The Sonata was a bit too big, and the older Elantras were junky. The only downside is that it does not ride well on 'washboard'-type roads/bumps, as it tends to slide sideways a bit. Otherwise, the car's magnificent.

Elantra Ltd Teview

I bought my car in Asheville, NC. It has been a good car. It is fun to drive and has been very dependable. While the car has not lived up to the mph ratingsas quoted to me when buying, the company has been paying me for my thru their reimbursement program. It still 8s pretty good on gas. Good car for me.
