I have a 5 speed in this vehicle. Shifting gears is effortless, and smooth. I love the lines, and fit. The trunk space is very large too. The Elantra takes turns very well, and the stearing is true and accurate. There are many creature comforts, and the ergonomics are well placed. I neve thought I would by a Hyundai, but I am glad I took a look and purchased one.

None that I can see so far. My vehicle is too new.

Driving the Hyundai Elantra feel like I am dring an afforable luxery car. I never had this feeling dring a simular car of its size.

I have driven cars of all sizes. I drove a Stratus, and liked it, but the gas milage was disappointing for a 4 cylinder. I traded it in for a Toyota Yaris. Yes gas milage improved, but shifting was crude, and I had to hold onto the wheel in heavy winds.

-Powerful Engine,
-Cheap Parts,
-good long drive experiences(travelled about thrice more than 3000KM)

The Heater water pipe has leakage in my car. The repair was estimated to be quite costly: the dashboard need to be removed and...

Very very good experience. I understand that Hyundai Elantra is better than many car in this price range.
When I bought the car it has already travelled 250,000 km. I have used this car for 2Years8 months (till Aug 2010)

Standard option at a value price
Competent transportation that's EASY to live with.

Some cheap interior parts
Hard to fit adults and a carseat in the backseat.

For those of you with short attention spans, I’ll tell you now that the 2010 Hyundai Elantra sedan has impressed me. For those of you who know me, there is some serious street cred here. For those of you that don’t, mark a +1 next to this Hyundai in your vehicle search. Read on for a thorough examination.

Disappointed in reliability.

Reliability. This car cannot be trusted.

Purchased car new. In 4 years and 67,000 KMs we have had many problems. Manual transmision has been rebuilt. Took months for the dealer to diagnose. Master brake cylinder leaked. Brake calipers have stuck 3 times causing premature brake ware and battles over warrantee coverage and much inconvenience. Car has failed to start twice leaving us stranded. Once was due to a malfunctioning security system. The second time, the dealer could not diagnose. We have performed all the scheduled maintenance. We bought car based on Lemon Aid reviews that suggested it is a good car. I am worried when the warranty expires. Also, resale value is not good. This is my 1st new car purchase. I has not worked out.

Handles rather well and a quiet ride.It has good pick up and go, with little to no hesitation while attempting to pass on the highway.

My wife and I were rather disappointed with the dealer after everything was finalized. It took two weeks for the dealer to get the registration changed over. Three days after the papers were signed I was in to pick up the plates, not in yet, but they did give me a copy of the insurance card the insurance co. sent them. Three days later I was in again, they said they didn’t get the insurance card. I gave them a copy of the one they gave me. Registration was ours 2 weeks after we made the purchase.
Even better; we went to a garage to buy winter tires, we found out that 2 of the 4 all season tires were not new especially after the Internet ad stated “NEW TIRES”. I emailed the business manager, and that is when we found out that even if the Internet ad says, NEW TIRES, it means “more than one”, not necessarily 4. My wife was told, “You (we) didn’t ask”, we (the dealer) didn’t say”. And I didn’t get under it and check. So be sure you ask how many tires are new or any other questions. If you don’t ask they’re not going to tell you.

Smooth quiet ride.I recently purchased a 2006 Hyundai Elantra in Moncton, N.B.
The car is a 4 cylinder. Seats 4 adults comfortably.
It does not like the ice and snow, even with winter tires on it, back end tends to sway. I put 4 bags of traction sand in the trunk for weight, much better.

Good mileage 24-34 mpg. Reliable. Comfortable. Good a/c heating. No major problems defects aside from normal maintanence. Fun to drive. Trunk space and folding seats a plus as time to time I do need those. People in the back tend to sleep so those seats must be comfortable enough. Decent exterior appearance.

Short steering and/or short stopping may be a weakness. It's never done me bad in the few close calls. But it definitely would not be a strong point on this car. Safe driving does mitigate this. I wouldn't trust the car to be 100% in handling. Stock car stereo not the greatest but good enough.

Bought the car used in 2005 with about Gray car with gray cloth interior at 70K miles in good condition. Have used it quite a bit over the years. Have some dings on it. I learned manual on it. My first car. I was around 23.
I like this car. Not a status symbol and rather modest. But, its fairly reliable for whatever I do. But peppy and generally inexpensive to have and maintain.

The warranty Hyundai offers. It's great, specially for women.

The window motors tend to die within a period of 2 years, but other than than, I cannot think of any.

I have had three Hyundai Elantras and they have been great. No complaints, otherwise I would not have continued to buy them. The one I currently have was bought in 1999 and it is still functioning Great. I am currently planning on buying a new version.

GOOD VALUE

NOT 2 LITR

VERY GOOD CAR

Cheapest out of all cars in it's class and comes with every option you need (except for the ABS). Doesn't drive like a cheap car, solidly built. Good trunk space. Great value new or used.

Fuel efficiency is not the best. If you drive a lot, this may not be the car for you. If you want to sell or trade it, you won't get good value as the car is still not seen as being 'high quality', even though it is.

Good car. Did tons of research and chose this over the Civic (wanted a change), Corolla and Mazda 3 (all too expensive). Car rides well. Very happy with it. Would buy another one in a heartbeat. Can't beat the price.

My transmission needed to be replaced after I drove just 14.8 miles. Total crap. Don`t buy Hyundai.
