It runs a whole lot better than it looks. My Hyundai gets great gas mileage it's got a cool hatchback on the back so I can put my groceries right in the back AC works awesome
It's great on gas easy to maintain it's small and uncomfortable on the other hand it's 18 years old and runs good and has been reliable

Super Long lasting Hyundai
This car is great for the years ahead. I bought my Elantra with 200,000 miles and have almost reached 300,00 without any major mechanical issues. This car was built to last and is very easy and cheap to fix. The only issue I've noticed is the paint used on this model wears off easily.
accountCircle Patricia D
The most important is it hardly ever needs repairs.
I don't have many problems. The only problem I had was the air conditioner. It need free on. I don't have many problems. It has been a good car.
accountCircle Helene S
Nothing really. Just easy to drive.
Nice small car. Good on gas. Easy to drive. No complaints.
accountCircle Crayton G
That it has been a really good car as far as mileage and everyday use.
My car is 20 years old & outside of routine things, I have done very little else to keep it in use.
accountCircle Jordan G
One thing I would highlight about my car is that it holds gas.
The vehicle is great on gas the most you'll pay is 25 dollars, but that's in Texas. The vehicle honestly does not have any pick up speed like you think it would. Also when it rained the windows fog up a lot. It's a little to small if your going to have a family, but if it's just you and another person or some friends you'll be okay.
accountCircle Lin G
Good smooth reliable sleek runs great solid good looking
Been great but low mileage replaced starter and transmission new tires but all else original. It's green

Negative Owner Reviews

accountCircle Jessica P
Mostly negative issues about the Elantra.
I do not feel especially safe driving this car. Unreliable, unattractive and difficult to maintain and clean.
accountCircle Natalie T
Wish it could be more reliable.
Barely reliable. Lot's of electrical issues including the check engine light that very rarely stays off despite the lack of engine issue. Also there has been frequent issue with it maintaining proper temperature and it often threatening to stall when the car is idling.
accountCircle Ashley T
Lasts a long time but with a lot of maintenance.
Gas tank clogs very quickly and can not fill at pump due to it clicking off every time flow starts faster, everything is made of plastic and breaks extremely easily, air conditioning breaks and will not fix, car drives forever but needs a lot of maintenance.
accountCircle Amanda M
It is cheap to maintain, gets decent gas mileage, 5 people can ride init.
It gets me to where I need to go on good days. It is a bit small on the inside and I have had it a long time.
accountCircle Tiffany V
Its fast its an older car.
Always fixing it its an older car so more problems love the gas mileage on it, now the heat isn't working and it's blowing cold air.
accountCircle Rebecca K
It's a death trap on wheels
It kept dying while turning and the dealership kept fixing items that didn't solve the problem. After awhile, I thought I was going to die, so I quit driving it.

Has been worth the value for what we paid, and we enjoy driving it.
We bought the car used 2 years ago and it has been a very good vehicle for us.
