The cars gas mileage is great.
The car has great mileage. It also seems to run well in all weather conditions. It is a bit loud when running however. The clean up is easy. The pricing for tires is decent as well. I like the multiple options for the in car radio. Speaker system could be louder.

The greatest car for great price.
I love my Hyundai. It's a great car with great price. I previously owned one and had no problems. I would highly recommend a Hyundai Elantra.In car us a reliable vehicle that I depend on every day for work. It comes with a fabulous. It can be customized warranty.
accountCircle Logan E
Super safe and reliable, would recommend to almost anyone!
My 2018 Hyundai Elantra is honestly amazing. The seats are extremely comfortable, my iPhone can connect via Bluetooth and display my apps as well as navigation. It is also extremely safe as it warns you with a small beep when your changing lanes to let you know if someone is in your blind spot. It also has a backup camera that makes a beeping if someone is in range of the cameras view. It also helps you to align your car when reversing as when you turn the wheel, the guidelines on the backup camera move to. Overall it is an amazing car and I would highly recommend it!

2018 Hyundai Elantra, a fun drive.
Hyundai Elantra’s are super easy to drive, they are economical and get great gas mileage. I have never had any maintenance issues and I have been able to drive it reliably up and down the east coast multiple times. Very comfortable ride and has plenty of legroom.
accountCircle janet K
The Elantra plus and minuses.
Thee car is too low to the ground in the front. Noisy while driving. Car is uncomfortable when my 6ft son in law drives but for me it's fine as I m smaller. It's good for long trips as the mileage on the highway is very good sometimes as much as 50 mp gallon.
accountCircle Anne W
Hyundai Elantra is by far the best vehicle for commuters.
This vehicle is one I picked after a lot of research, and I do not regret my purchase at all. The mpg is exactly what I expected to get on the Hwy, and better than I expected in the city, averaging 27-30 mpg around town. It is comfortable for long trips, and I love the trunk space. Also, this model comes with a spare tire, which saved me once. The heated seats and Bluetooth are also a bonus.
accountCircle Brendan K
2018 Hyundai pearl white Elantra (basic model).
As far as problems, they are none that have been alarming so far. However, a few days after I purchased the vehicle, the engine shut down and had to be replaced which was unfortunate. With that said, the warranty covered the towing and replacing the engine as well as provided a compensation. The vehicles performance is great. Smooth driving with great mpg. The steering wheel is comfortable to maneuver and seats are comfortable. With this particular model, there is no rear camera which could come in handy.
accountCircle Savannah N
2018 Hyundai Elantra sport - 10/10 in my book.
This vehicle has super great power and performance. Out of the trims, I definitely prefer sport, for both the sports seats and wheels. I do not have any complaints other than the sound system. Wish the upgraded systems were standard. Leather seats and pano-like sunroofs are both pluses.

Match Box
For all those folks that are driving around in a Kia Soul 2018 be warned, it's a match box waiting to catch on fire. Do research. I had my car for a little over a year when it went up in flames. Yes. I now have no car and Kia will not cover it, as of yet, as they are trying to find a reason to weasel out of paying for it. All my oil changes were in the car and thus, they might be able to get out of the warranty based on the fact that I can't provide them with all the oil changes. As per their warranty, if the car fails or burns up, they will want all the oil changes and have denied many claims based on owners not being able to provide them. Please, please be warned. I nearly lost my life in one of these match boxes.

This is our third Kia soul
We had a 2016 that saved my wife's life in a crash. Now we have a 2021 and a 2018. After the 2016 save my wife's life I decided to trade my car and get an 2018 we replace my wife's 2016 with a 2021 there's nothing I don't like about either one of the cars both of them are great on gas great ride and work priced great we love our souls and wouldn't drive anything else !

I love my car I would definitely buy another one.
I love my car it is comfortable it is higher off the ground than most small cars. It has a lot of storage room in the back for suitcases and luggage. The only thing I do not like about it is it has a big blind spot where the mirrors are on the outside.
accountCircle Kristin M
Kia soul great lil car to buy.
Nothing I have found with this car yet I like it so far great car good gas miles and everything would buy newer model of this car when I can and recon and to others as well I live my Kia soul cute lil car for anyone or a teen who just got their license.

Safety is incomparable for my family!
It is very simple in style. Nothing fancy or any extras, but it gets great gas mileage and you can beat the safety rating! It is just enough room for my son, myself and our dog and granny if she wants to go on an adventure with us. Comfy, safe and roomy... What more could you ask for.
accountCircle Thomas F
Perfect for a family of four.
I love this vehicle. It has been reliable. We travel a lot and it has held up and provided comfortable and worry free commuting. My kids love the color of the car. It holds to the road well in all weather conditions. I really have no complaints about this vehicle. We are a family of four and it has met and exceeded our needs.
accountCircle Kayla F
Great, safe car. Intense breaks!
The audio is great. There’s a lot more inside space than what it looks like from the outside. Storage is also great. I have always felt very safe in my car while driving. Only complaint would be that the breaks are extremely sensitive. I have had mine for a little over 2 years now, and I still haven't gotten comfortable with the breaks.

Kia soul dangerous turns. Be careful on the highway in your Kia soul.
The Kia soul is not the greatest at smooth turns on the highway, in fact there’s a sign on the right passenger sun visor that warns drivers that the car could topple over during turns. I love the box shape of the car, the trunk is great, however the box shape does cause the care to not fit as well in compact parking spots! Gas fills fast but goes fast as well. The pick up on the Kia soul is very slow,I compare it to riding a “go-kart Ferrari”. The main issues dealt with engine problems, electrical issues, and concerns about the brakes. The Kia soul engine problems were characterized by the check engine light being on, engine failure, vehicle speed control issues, and the engine losing power. The cylinder gasket failure can cause a complete engine failure. I had the most basic model of the Kia soul 2018,I probably wouldn't buy another Kia soul.

A good thing in a small package.
I love my Elantra gt hatchback. I bought it to replace a Hyundai sonata that I loved, but is 13 yrs old. I wanted a vehicle in which I could transport small furniture to my new home. I love the fact that the back seats fold down to accommodate large.Boxes, but wish it was a little bigger. For a small car, the Elantra has a lot of pep and driving on a highway I often do not realize how fast I am going. It has a lot of safety features, gets good gas mileage, and has better visibility than most cars. I decided to stick with the Hyundai brand based on the reliability of 2 sonatas that have been owned by my family for over 10 years with minimal problems.
accountCircle Joanna H
Performs well. Little space.
Great performance. Just not big enough for my needs. Would be a great car for someone with no children or 1 child. 2 children in sports creates a huge space issue. Overall performance is amazing. Gas mileage is superb. Very comfortable to drive. A tad noisy on the interstate but otherwise a very enjoyable car to drive.
accountCircle Christina H
Great family size car with lots of features.
The problems is that the car does not have a lot of power when you try to speed us, but it does have a lot of interior feature. For example, my favorite thing about the car is the CarPlay. You can use an apple or android and it works with no issues. I got the car for a great deal at Glendora and it comes with free oil change for the first three years. The seat is comforting and the exterior features are fine as well.
accountCircle Kayla G
Has some problems, but overall good car.
Every time the temperature drops below 65, my tires always are low on pressure. This has not happened with other cars I have had (other makes, not Hyundai). Also, one of my key batteries died, which has not happened with previous cars. Other than that, it is a good car and I have a lot for the price I paid.
accountCircle Donovan D
2018 Elantra bought used for $12k.
I like my Elantra quite a bit. It gets good gas mileage and has a nice smooth ride. The car comes with a lot of features I like including a sunroof, tinted windows, and a touch screen display that is very easy to use. The used car had some very minor cosmetic issues that I was able to solve with little expense. The trunk is huge.

Media issues with the 2018 Elantra.
Overall the car is quite good. It does jerk a little as if it is having a hard time changing gears, but I am not exactly positive. I do have a ton of trouble with my apple CarPlay though. It hardly ever works. It is actually getting to the point that my media screen blacks out and I have to turn my car off to get it to come back on. I'll be discussing that with the dealership with I bring it in for maintenance.

Pros and cons of the Kia soul.
I like that it is bigger inside than it looks outside. It's quite comfortable and I haven't gotten stranded anywhere yet. I do not like that has a very slow pick up and your not able to change the tire on your own you have to go to the dealership to take special lug nuts off an you do not have a spare tire. It is starting to have stalling issues,
accountCircle Evie B
I would absolutely consider another Kia soul.
I love the size of the car and the interior is exceptionally comfortable and roomy for the price. The maintenance costs are reasonable and the gas mileage is better than I have ever had on a wagon style vehicle. Awesome for people with kids, or in my case dogs, because it has ample seat room. The trunk is on the small side but I am able to fit an entire week's worth of groceries without effort. On the other hand I have already had issues with the tire pressure sensors and seat belt sensors. As long as you have a good dealership warranty, you will be able to sort out these problems quickly. If I am going to nitpick, the console and dash lights are an abrasive red color and cannot be changed and the rear camera display leaves much to be desired. I would absolutely consider another Kia soul for my next personal vehicle but may also consider a wagon or SUV that is more suited for rough terrain or driving on the beach.
accountCircle Kassidy L
The Kia soul is a good sized and comfy car.
It is a very comfortable car to drive and ride in. It is got plenty of space for backseat passengers. The trunk space is a bit small but not horrible. It is not too small nor is it too big. The only issue I have with it is that it does not have a whole lot of engine power, meaning it does not have a whole lot of get up and go, so it accelerates a little slow. But other than that I love this car.
accountCircle Melanie M
Kia soul, fun to drive, good for small families.
We love our soul. It is fun to drive, sits higher on the road than a car, but not too high like some SUVs or SUVs. The price was affordable. Our only complaint is a knocking noise we hear, which we had with our other one too. It is comfortable for the driver, the passenger in the front, as well as the backseat. There is not a whole lot of room for storage, but it works.

You can go a long way on a tank of gas, especially if your going downhill.
Like: good gas mileage. Electronic display.. Dislike: much less interior space than my grand caravan..
accountCircle Tracy B
Kia soul! Is a great car for town and country driving.
Overall it is a good car that can hold a surprising amount of things. The only real problem I have is that the car does not accelerate well and the two wheel drive does lead to some difficulty in weather. I have gotten stuck at the bottom of a driveway during a snowstorm and in the mud when camping.

Pros & Cons from Owners

2018 Hyundai Elantra

likeFilled Claudia C.

It has blind spot alerts to assist you when driving on multiple-lane roads, it offers three drive modes (eco to save on gas, sport for faster pickup, and regular). The ride is smooth, and it has heated seats with three levels of heating. Finally, it offers satellite radio capability.

dislikeFilled Claudia C.

The cons include that it does not have a lot of extra room, so it wouldn't be a good choice for someone with a large family. It also does not offer technology such as self-steering, so there are fewer safety features.

likeFilled Kayley F.

Compact car that provides great gas mileage, and a luxury feel at an affordable price. Lane assist allows for safer driving. Backup camera provides ease with parking and blind spot viewing. Heated seats allow for comfort during the winter and the updated air conditioning keeps you cool in the summer.

dislikeFilled Kayley F.

Being so low to the ground causes scraps to the undercarriage often when living in the hill country. Unless in sport mode, car will not accelerate as quickly as I would like. Tire sensors will go off of the air is even slightly unbalanced. Car will continually beep until both hands on steering wheel. Can be scary when car puts itself by in the center of the lane. Reverse beeping sensor is slightly late in reaction time.

likeFilled Angelica L.

Compact; easy to drive, inexpensive, good on gas. Family friendly, Roomy still. Lots of life of the car. So I can give it to my kid if I wanted or my sister. It is safe, and reliable car to drive.

dislikeFilled Angelica L.

Sometimes to small for my household, also would be a to small if I had a few kids to drive around. Does not have a large trunk space either which would be more convenient when making large trips from the grocery store.

likeFilled Tyrique L.

It is nice inside and out, smooth drive, very nice updated features to the tech, good on gas mileage, easy to maintain the health of the car, can accelerate pretty nicely after a brief moment, overall reliable with a day to day drive.

dislikeFilled Tyrique L.

Could be better off the initial acceleration of the vehicle, sometimes it skids or takes a long time to accelerate coming off of a complete stop. Also needs to be serviced quite a bit but that is understandable. Could have a better sound system too.

Pros & Cons from Owners

2018 Kia Soul

likeFilled Deena V.

Pros: Great size, lots of legroom in the back seat, heated seats in the front and back, heated steering wheel, Navigation, minimal blind spots, and great gas mileage. Cons: Jerking in stop and go traffic due to double clutch technology, and small trunk space.

dislikeFilled Deena V.

This car has very small trunk space making traveling with more than two people or grocery shopping a hassle, takes a while to heat up in the winter, and jerky in stop and go traffic to double clutch technology. I can't really say anything that I do not like.

likeFilled Taryn S.

It rides smoothly. It has good gas mileage and I like the size of the car. It is compact and easy to drive. I also like the service that comes with the car. I haven't any many issues that required service.

dislikeFilled Taryn S.

Sometimes the car is not great in extreme weather. It will sometimes slide in the snow. Additionally, the seats are not extremely comfortable. I think more cushioning would be helpful. Overall there are not many cons.

likeFilled Melanie H.

The base model is pretty loaded. It has a lot of bells and whistles, even being a base model. It gets good gas mileage and has a good safety rating. It is also very roomy inside. It is easy to fit car seats in. It is a nice looking car.

dislikeFilled Melanie H.

Everyone has a Kia soul so they are a dime a dozen. But, I guess with good reason. It is not at all sporty and it is the slowest to accelerate. It has a decent blind spot so you should get extra mirror add ons.

likeFilled Lakesha R.

Pros very comfortable and affordable seats are cozy and the car is spacious also. The Kia Soul makes a great compact car or subcompact SUV. It has a nice looking exterior and a comfortable and upscale interior. It offers many safety features in the Soul Plus and the Soul Exclaim trim models. The upper trim models also offer great upgrades to technology, connectivity and comfort features.

dislikeFilled Lakesha R.

The Cons. Poor Base Powertrain. The 2019 Kia Soul base engine is neither powerful or fuel efficient. Rear Seating is Somewhat Cramped. The Soul offers seating for five, but the rear seat can seem cramped with three adults. Sparse Standard Safety Features.
