The Hyundai Elantra is an inexpensive, Korean made, compact, five seat sedan. When it first came to America in 1992, it lured customers with a combination of low initial cost and an attractive warranty. Now in its fourth generation, the Elantra is roomier, more refined and safer than ever before.

With competitors like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic also vying for supremacy in the compact car segment, Hyundai hopes the Elantra's new look and strong value can win over customers.

I was in a horrible multiple roll-over accident on the freeway in 2008. This car saved my life and the life of my brother..

@juvieguy 15 лет назад

I have purchased two of these, an '02 and an '05. Very good, reliable transportation. I drove the '02 for a year or so before giving it to my daughter. It now has 116,000 miles on it and seems to be holding up very well. My '05 has 87,000 miles (90 miles a day commuting) and is also holding up very well. I would buy another Hyundai anytime. I tend to drive cars into the ground, so resale value is of little consequence to me.

The Elantra is the best Hyundai model to ride in, hands down. I love that car. It's fun to ride in. It's very comfortable, and I can thank the Hyundai Elantra for offering generous headroom and legroom.

My mom’s had her GL Auto for 11 years and only 53,000 Kim’s . No rust , no mechanical problems & no quality issues . Yes it’s got a radio , CD and air standard . Very well equipped .

@IrisMG 14 лет назад

Love the purple rain color on these. The two people I know who own them love theirs.

@Genjinchan 9 лет назад

71K and my 08 Elantra still runs like the day I got her

@Char2805Live 13 лет назад

I do a lot of interstate driving and this car is great. It's got a quiet cabin and smooth ride for its price. Plus satellite radio and my iPod hooked up. The hours on the road fly by.

@richboy1bill 15 лет назад

i have had my elantra for 3 months and i have a tiburon also i love the apperance and the performance i added a few aftermarket parts aircleaners/ ec. it runs great the fuel economy is great also its around 27 mpg i bought mine new for 12,989 + 1200 for the 10 year warrenty its is a great investment and a great car

@ScorpiusRaven 14 лет назад

I've owned a 2000 Elantra for 5 years. Other than the somewhat common window regulator problem, I've had no issues with this car. None. No breakdowns, no mechanical failures. And mine is just a Gen 2 Elantra. Kia and Hyundai really are the best values in the market these days.

@glamdring0007 9 лет назад

Have had one of these since 2009...car has been very reliable...no trips to the dealer except for oil changes every 7 thousand miles or so and two recalls completed at no cost. After almost 5 years the only downsides are a couple of squeaks and a ride that is still very firm after 48,000 miles...I had expected the ride to soften a bit as the car aged but it has not.

@dougn2350 8 лет назад

if the squeaks are coming from around the doors try putting some Armour All on the rubber seals. Also on the trunk seal. It worked on my sisters Cadillac.

@raymondstiffler5055 Год назад

they are junk. they are throw away cars , just like the FORD Escorts.

@fegue2 15 лет назад

i have a 2008 elantra GL(canadian version) and so far 32000 kms and feels like the very first day i bought it,i am so happy ,smooth,reliable,really good on gas,roomy,,extremely good brakes,great warranty,this is my third Hyundai and for sure i will go for my fourth after this one...

@vnvxvnv 14 лет назад

i have the 09, its pretty cool. especially at night the dashboard glows blue its siick, i recommend this car to anyone looking for affordable quality. i chose this car over the civic and carolla and i couldent be happier with my purchase. and the new sonatas that are out damn they look nice, hyundai is stepping up there game hardcore

@anthonyanwusi 4 года назад

Purchased one in November 2019 a beautiful car

@proteus404 15 лет назад

Ive had my new 2009 elantra for 3 months 2800 km. I have driven it once or twice on the highway but mostly city driving to work and back, If you looking for a good quality economical car I recommend the elantra. I dont have any regrets getting this car

@Hugo411 11 лет назад

Got 5 speed 2004 Elantra. Its FUN to shift even at my old age.

@scopesofter 14 лет назад

Still lovin' my 2004 Elantra GT. Hatchback is also a major win.

@JBodine67 14 лет назад

I know 2 people who drive these new Elantras and they say the comfort and ease of use make it a good choice for seniors too.

@derrikdavid 9 лет назад

Good review.

@silkhead44 9 лет назад

I still have the top of line 2009 with all the goodies with 60k...leather,sunroof and automatic climate control...the leather driver seat is very comfortable on long trips and the car is very reliable...cheap to own..the 6 speaker stereo is excellent. Will keep this car for 10 years at least. Very satisfied considering I've driven more expensive cars

@dougn2350 8 лет назад

With good care and keeping the miles low it should fetch a good price if you sell it yourself.

@JoshLofty 15 лет назад

the SE model is the SPORT model, right? tell me more about it. i've seen many of these cars out there and have owned a 2006 Kia Spectra5 & loved it. i'm curious of the elantra...

@QuantumCarl 15 лет назад

It was used as a small delivery vehicle, and then as a DD during the day. We now have an 09 Elantra and it's pleasant. Heated seats, strong A/C, not really good fuel mileage but it needs to be broken in anyways. Had 70km on it when we got it about 2 or 3 weeks ago, now has almost 6,000. This car should last a long time, though.

@damieg82 13 лет назад

@MusicKrazy2011 HAHA yes I noticed that too... we get it where I live. Not only was it the euro model, but it was the ST version. Wishful thinking on KBB's part perhaps

@janakbsunar5354 Год назад

Very well equipped

@QuantumCarl 15 лет назад

Yeah. The 09 Elantra is real nice.

@mikenjamie7683 14 лет назад

@buffalocrotch ...I understand your friends' concern about the airbags. Most people assume that in an accident, the airbags just pop out. However, Hyundai and most other manufacturers design "smart" airbags that don't deploy unless they're needed. In fact, in some types of collisions (even some serious ones), the airbags could do more harm than good.

@adillemma 15 лет назад

love my Elantra- it's handled some of the worst roads I've ever seen and still feels racey :)

@KeyHyundaiCT 15 лет назад

The Elantra is a great car for the low price! It get's awesome gas mileage and has a really comfortable ride

@mikenjamie7683 14 лет назад

@buffalocrotch ... apologies. You didn't necessarily say "friends,' you just referred to "several people." I didnt' want to misquote you.

@StevenRoil 12 лет назад

if youre ever to get this car, you gotta go with the sport. the skirt, 16 inch tires with rims, and the spoiler really make this a head turner. yes i own one. :D

@Jag-leaper 3 года назад

Still have it?

@TheCarArchives96 11 лет назад

the transmission on the 2007-2010 Hyundai Elantra/ Hyundai Avante (South Korea) Transmission 5-speed manual 4-speed automatic

@buffalocrotch 14 лет назад

when they redesign this vehicle in the future, I hope they consider giving the Elantra a 5 speed Auto, as well as giving the car a sportier suspension that holds up better. I owned a 2003 Hyundai Elantra GT, and it was a pretty good car, but it needed new brakes all the time, and had a few rattles in the passenger compartment. Hopefully they have improved this car since then.

@oriyomilewis644 4 года назад

I learnt the speed is too slow.

@heroheroic 15 лет назад

I have an Elantra Limited, it looks like a Toyota Corolla with Lexus-like lines and amenities. Looks a little Mazdaish too @ 1:55

@ericsotosoto379 4 года назад

ROOMIER STILL THAN THE 2018 PLUS MODELS PLUS INDEPENDENT REAR SUSPENTION THAT THE NEWER MODELS DO NOT HAVE

@buffalocrotch 14 лет назад

I know I am leaving 2 comments here, but one complaint I have heard about the Elantra from several people, who have been in collisions with this vehicle, is that the front airbags don't deploy as they should in an accident. Hope that Hyundai realizes this issue, and fixes it as well.

@liquadmonster2951 10 лет назад

i just love thes car its my.favorite also i own one lol

@somthin4nothin 15 лет назад

i;m sorry i accidently pressed wrong button, i really like elantra too, going to get it next month, black one,

@toyota420xp 12 лет назад

did u get the hyundai. i hope not

@NMS350 13 лет назад

did they just show a european ford focus?

@wtrdogg20 14 лет назад

Well, I just know the Elantra is one of the best option if you are looking for a sedan, with a lot of confort and excellent performance for a great price. I have an Accent 2007, more than 3 years, over 60000km, NO PROBLEM AT ALL. I dont know whats that bullshit about no power lock standard that someone said, but my sister got the less expensive Elantra available here and it has power everthing!. It is better than a boring Corolla or a shitty Yaris. Way more QUALITY and PERFORMANCE. Hyundai FTW!

@dimebag699 14 лет назад

they don,t get 28 in town and 32 hwy you get 300 -325 a tank sometimes less

@etatauri 15 лет назад

This review is for the latest version of the Elantra I believe. The downside of a rapidly improving company is that the older the model you look at it will be vastly more disappointing.

@mercedesguycolin3892 7 лет назад

my grandparents have this car.

@RonaldrDeleon 13 лет назад

@21DAGUILAR you should wait for the elantra 2011 to come out that way you get this model for less

@QuantumCarl 15 лет назад

32,000k is really not a lot. My mom had a 2005 Elantra VE and in 2 years we put over 200,000km's on it, and then the engine just... ran out. Which is pretty good considering it was driven for 8 hours a night every night and then during the day too. And I drove it pretty hard. Ultimately they're pretty reliable and work well. Granted if I had, say, a Civic then it would still be on the road, but oh well. :P

@tristynwoodcock2266 7 лет назад

I have a 2009 hyundai elantra gl 5 spd manual, car has 244.00kms and has never let me down , of course needs parts replaced here and there but that's expected

@tristynwoodcock2266 7 лет назад

Love the car

@carrillo100100 6 лет назад

I have a 2010 with 158k miles on it. Still strong as three mechanics told me that motor is in good conditions. Good gas mileage and reliable too.

@erictremblay4940 4 года назад

Have a 2009 5sp manual as well (But the really base model; no Air, manual rear windows and drum rear brakes!!!). Only paid CAD$2000 @ 148000km, last may. Love it!!! Don't forget to change your timing belt at 150 000 km

@BlueSube136 12 лет назад

Prettyyyy sure it comes with a/c and a radio lmfao

@imtrash9046 4 года назад

Ikr lol

@heroheroic 13 лет назад

I think this one looks a whole lot better than the new 2011. This one has a Lexus like look to it

@richboy1bill 15 лет назад

i got a 2010 for about 13,000 new its kacki colored it had some rebate that was like 2500 off or something around there but the price when i bought it was around13,000

@goldf 15 лет назад

I hired a high spec 09 Elantra with under 10k miles on the clock in Canada for 2 wks in July. Good points were comfortable ride and roomy interior & boot. It was also quiet cruising & economical. But steering lacked feedback and acceleration was unexciting. Worse was the auto trans was slow to respond to kickdown and the engine very noisy under hard acceleration - this is not a driver's car and inferior in most respects to the Ford Focus I recently hired in the UK (and my 11 year old Mondeo)

@Machiavelli1513 14 лет назад

@wtrdogg20 You said it brother. We have a 2007 Toyota Corolla and it's bland as hell. Just bought a 2010 Hyundai Elantra and love it! Packed with features at an affordable price. The only gripe is the not-so-good side impact saftey scores but frontal impact received excellent scores. I know Hyundai will remedy the side impact saftey in future models. They've come a long way and are catching up to the big boys (Besides, Toyota has a lot of recalls and saftey issues that far surpass Hyundai).

@heroheroic 15 лет назад

I love mine, 2007 limited with tan leather in regata blue and a moonroof, it feels and looks like a mini LEXUS. The only thing it doesnt have is automatic locks which lock automatically, Hyundai should have made standard, shame on u Hyundai

@seoulja4god 15 лет назад

@21DAGUILAR Just traded my 2007 limited in regata blue with tan leather. 86,000 miles

@shxkn 15 лет назад

i'd say elantra is that lil bit better. but for the elantra you trade off a little bit of accelaration for a better interior look. on the civic the interior just looks boring and plain but it gets better accelearation. but on the plus hand, if your a race car driving junkie, civics the car cuz you can make that car do just about anything. but for street driving the Elantra is pretty avg enough.

@Hudasragab 11 лет назад

this car is great in safety in america and europe because of those two countries rules and quality limits for safety that no car should be bought except when this rules occurs on it ,but iIT IS A REAL DEATH TRAP IN ARABIAN COUNTRIES it comes to our countries even without abs or airbags in some models!!!!!!!

@Staroutlawjames 14 лет назад

How the hell can they even sell a car nowadays that doesn't have radio/AC, i realize that it is the basic model but that should be a priority.

@007texan 14 лет назад

Did anybody else notice the European Ford Focus on 4:49? It looks sweet.. But ya i think the elantra is decent for its category, especially with what you pay for and what you get. If you really dont mind the name you'll won't even notice a thing wrong with the car. Why else would they give it the industry's longest warrenty? If the company didnt have faith in their cars why propose something that would bankrupt themselves?

@assmunch42na 12 лет назад

@xxpac4lyfexx Gotta say, great car, spoiler doesnt look right, especially where there is a rear tail light in the back dash. Spoilers belong on cars that actually utilize them. The 16 inch rims are deff nice, only time I regretted them was when I had to pay for new tires =). Great car....has really been a good investment. Resale was not a factor to my wife and I. This car is going to be drivin into the ground.

@fegue2 15 лет назад

I have an Elantra 2008 and that was my first thought....and it's not ugly at all,if somebody want to talk about ugly cars well just take a look at the front end of the new 2010 Mazda 3,the clown car always with a smile ,great cars tho...

@benzbubblecat 13 лет назад

@hyundaipride that's still volvo

@matrixloader 14 лет назад

problem with the lancer is that its a mitsubishi and mitsubishi is considered the most unreliable japanese company. mitsubishi does make some nice cars but they still have alot to work on as far as reliability goes.Remember the 2007 mitsubishi Raider? mitsu's truck that was going to compete against tundra, f150 and such, the Raider was a complete disaster and Failed as a truck, mitsubishi only sold 48,000 cars last year in the usa, hyundai sold over a million cars last year.

@buffalocrotch 14 лет назад

@-MikenJamie - no big deal, friends, co-workers, acquaintances, if people I meet don't f*** with me, or stab me in the back, then they are considered friends.

@arelys 14 лет назад

what the hell?! No air conditioning nor a radio? what kid of car is that??? it still seems like a good car tho. =]

@etatauri 15 лет назад

some say the elantra is ugly but i think the front looks like a cute cat

@juiced2death 15 лет назад

i live in singapore n over here n i think korea this is no more called an elantra its called avante n the leather seats n auto air conditioning come stantard not only when u upgrade

@benjmiester 11 лет назад

That's terrible! Sorry to hear that. Maybe that's what all the uprisings in the Arab world are about lol. Better car safety!

@QuantumCarl 15 лет назад

Uh, no. The Globe and Mail. 8 hours a night, stop and go driving, with some 500 papers in the backseat/trunk. Not good times at all. D:

@kiwiskinny4027 3 года назад

@Albinus81 11 лет назад

Hyundai have zeroed in on Toyota's cartel; selling safe, reliable but very boring vehicles. There's more money selling ten million Elantras worldwide for a small markup than, say, a handful of sports cars at a much larger markup.

@mtchll340 11 лет назад

How in the world does your gov't allow something like that ?

@striker3 11 лет назад

2005 gls gets aweful gas milage 23.5 mpg after tune-up,better off buying a chevy cruze,ford anything ,dodge dart, honda especially the company problems with misleading gas milage ratings

@buffalocrotch 14 лет назад

but the redesigned Mazda 3 is now ugly, especially that front end. I own a 2007 Mazda 3, and now with the 2010 redesign, I won't buy another one. Also, if you look closely at the Mazda 3, Mazda has removed several of the attributes that the car used to have before the redesign. I only hope that Mazda realizes they have ruined their car, and when the redesign the 3 the next time, they fix these issues.

@tkorenny 14 лет назад

This model has defective airbags!!!! All the wiring is under the passenger seat. Something as simple as a water bottel rolling around will disengage the whole system! This car is dangerous! I had one, glad to be rid of the death trap! You should have received notice of this. I did after years of fighting them about it and after I traded it in!!!

@tallen35875 15 лет назад

i don't want that purple one.

@EliteSlayer542 14 лет назад

Why the fuck do people give a shit about re-sale value. What type of cheap bastard sells their cars? Ive kept every single car ive ever owned. I have an Old Toyota Tercel and a Old Audi a4 that still work fine. I currently own a Hyundai Sonata 09' and I'll NEVER look at any other brand again. Especial now that Hyundai has Luxury cars. I remember when Hyundais were HORRID cars. Now they changed SO much that they beating out Toyota and even Luxury cars thanks to the Hyundai Genesis and Equus

@ScorpiusRaven 14 лет назад

@dimebag699 15 лет назад

i have a2008 elantrait , it is the sorry,s car i have ever had. they lie and say the warranty will cover everthing not!!!!!!!!!!! had the car oniy 8 days and had to put it in the shop for 4weeks . they have bad motor,s and trans .they have limmeted warranty on most of the car and will lie and try to make you pay for repairs and parts cover under warramty. stay away from hyundai and kia cars!!

@tkorenny 14 лет назад

Hyundai's are cheaply made cars. That is the reason you get such a great warranty! They have to. They're junk! Major airbag problems with mine and I know someone who had an accident in his and they DID NOT DEPLOY. Junk cars!
