Solid purchase
By TJ | on Sunday, May 29, 2016
I purchased in May of 2015 and have since taken it to 2 road trips and accumulated 6k miles on it. I can honestly say its a solid purchase. Comfortable, full of features, looks amazing. Its fuel economy is "OK", only because it was rated at 27-37 city/hwy mpg, but I calculated 24-26 overall in mostly city/some highway driving. I love the driver selectable steering, the transmission is okay, you can on some occasions feel the transmission shift harshly, but rarely. Having been on those road trips, I've noticed some things. My passengers and I both agree that the back seats are not comfortable on long road trips, they're leather so I'm not sure this could be said about cloth seats. Our butts and backs were very sore at the 2 hour mark, stretching at each rest stop was a must, but the two front seats were Okay for the road trip. The car has a soft touch dash, and I thought that this material should have been distributed on the top part of the door trims and the lower part of the dash (i.e. above the glove box) as these are areas where people will be touching (I would be fine with a hard plastic dash) Perhaps this material belongs there to provide sound insulation? I am unsure. A/c compressor gave out at 10k miles, but per the dealership this does not happen to most Elantras, mines was one in a couple hundred thousand to have that happen. Towing and service were covered under warranty. Many Cali road trips later and this car remains a solid purchase. It's not that fun on the road like my old college car honda fit, but it sure is a lot more comfortable. Its also full of features and has a large interior volume. As I leave the car I always have to take a second look because of its amazing style both front and back. Will keep for the next couple years.… - 5.0
2013 Elantra Limited still going strong
By Cyndi | on Wednesday, November 13, 2024
Bought new in '13. Drove home health. Lots of miles. Only mechanical issue Ive had to fix besides regular maintenance, tires, battery, filters etc was a cam sensor. Thats it!! Still runs great. Looks great. No peeling paint. No rips in interior. Has 198,000 miles. Probably will replace shocks struts soon. No knocks, burning oil.... nothing. BEST CAR IVE EVER OWNED. I'm 54 and had lots of vehicles but this one has been the most economical and reliable of all of them and all makes. Still gets 32mpg combined highway and town. Highway is about 38 on low side and as much as 45 mpg on interstate. Highly recommend. I just retired it over to my 16-year-old daughter with the talk that this car is my baby. Take care of it. Im driving a Chevy 2500Hd WT and I want my little Elantra back lol. Good buy. Reliable little car.… - 5.0
Stylish, Fun to Drive Mid-Size
By Arizona DKs Elantra | on Friday, August 16, 2019
I purchased this vehicle new in June of 2013 and its turned out to be an outstanding value in this very stylish mini mid-size with exceptional power and handling for a 145 HP vehicle! Now I've just finished reading at least 50 reviews Here and have only 3 "minor issues" with the car I will mention for potential buyers of this year, make, and model car to be aware of, when you're looking to buy a great used car .. Firstly, when coming to a full stop at say 20 to 35 MPH, if you hit a bump, "like a slightly rough patch of road or a minor pothole just as applying the brakes "firmly" when coming to a full stop sign, "most of the time" (I'm thinking the anti-lock braking system is causing) brake chatters, which "makes it hard to apply firmer pressure to the peddle" and I've had a couple close calls because of this issue. When you test drive one, try this to see if your possible used car buy does this. Granted, also please understand, I am a faster driver than most I admit, but keep that admission as a positive feature to the pep this sporty little car has at both top end on the long desert highways here at 115 MPH, as well as under normal drive around town! ;) When you "need to" move quick, she moves from 0 to 60 toot sweet, even when needing to pass on the highway! The next very minor second issue as noted in one other review I read and I have to agree with and point out is, I have no idea why the manufacturer build the passenger seat at least 2 to 3 inches lower to the floor! Highly irritating I find this, at 5'10. For someone shorter, I can only imagine how they would feel. Next, while talking about the nice surprisingly roomy sized interior space, if you're out to buy this vehicle with the light tan cloth interior, be prepared to have the seats "professionally cleaned" at least once every other year. One other reviewer here mentioned the best cure for this as I had also done this 3 year into ownership...After you have it professionally cleaned, immediately spray all the seats front and back down with a heavy dose of Scotchgard !! I did and that resolved that minor but pesky issue. Now for the positive Notes! I am a big time car guy and when I say this car has been fantastic for me as well as allowing my elderly parent both in their mid-80's to drive it occasionally on both long hauls (Tuson to Denver, and back at 830 miles each way, three Summers in a row) we all LOVE the Elantra and I drive back and forth from Phoenix to Tucson about two to three times a month this past 2 years (appx 135 miles each way) and this car runs smooth and I cant emphasize enough how quiet and smooth riding the car has been, always! Even when the car is running at idle it is so smooth and quiet you can't even tell the motor is running! As for maintenance since I've purchased the car the only things I've had to do was change the oil, add wiper fluid, and change the wiper blades, oh and yes I did change factory tires 2 years ago to a great set of "performance Michelin Tires." What a difference in handling the tires alone made and I highly recommend doing this. I hope my review helps you make your decision, but as always, take whatever used car you're thinking about buying for at least a good 5 to 10 Mile test drive to make sure there are no major issues with any car you're considering. You'd be surprised the things I've found test driving many, many used cars in the past. Oh the only other option I added was I did tint the windows darker when I first bought the car and with the light metallic gold colored exterior the dark tinted windows make the car look even sportier and it does help with the intense sunlight in the southwestern States and even in Florida where the car has also been back and forth twice now. Enjoy the car it does get on the average 35 miles per gallon and yes I checked that every single time I fill her up, so the on board computer is accurate to a T ;) One last thing, this is the 3rd Hyundai I've purchased the first one was a used 2000 Sonata and had very good luck with that one (after 3 years sold it for $500 more than I paid, and also bought a New 2015 Sonata that I still own that's also been an exceptionally great car. Not a single negative issue... Just food for thought. Happy Motoring ~DK~…
