| 2017 | 0 | The major thing I don't like is the package bundling. If you want the advanced safety features, you have to get the sunroof. Ever rolled a car? what do you want over your head, a sheet of glass, or some steel? full 2017 Hyundai Elantra review |
| 2013 | 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
This is the third Elantra I have owned and operated. All of them have been maintnance free and a pleasure to drive to and from work and on both short and long trips. full 2013 Hyundai Elantra review |

We originally bought a 2011 Hyundai Elantra and we loved it, so when the dealership offered us a 2012 at the same price with $0 down, we traded our 2011 in. full 2012 Hyundai Elantra review |

| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
My 2005 Elantra performed magnificently for 7 plus years. Other than a couple of minor issues (covered under warranty), it was maintenance free and very reliable. This combined with it being fun to drive with a large cargo capacity gave me supreme confidence in Hyundai and the Elantra. full 2005 Hyundai Elantra review |

09 elantra bought based on 07 satisfaction. See ride smoothness and interior, but this car has been dowgraded from 07 to 09 EXCEPT steering feel has improved (that is NOT ride or handling - the power assist is less and feels better). 09 handles no better full 2009 Hyundai Elantra review |
