I can understand where you are coming from. This truly inspired me because I have a 2000 Honda Civic going to almost 300,000 miles. I truly love my car. I wouldn’t trade it for anything in this world bec that’s my first car I bought n paid for in full but I need a upgrade. And Hyundai Elantras are one of the cars I really want in my future. So seeing this really inspired me. Thanks for sharing. ☺️💕
Akala Roshea I’m so glad it touched you personally! Everyone shows these cars but how do they get them? How do they appreciate them? I think that’s what matters 💛 my civic was around that mileage mark as well! So we both totally get that! Keep working hard girl!!!! Can’t wait for the day you get an upgrade and appreciate the smallest of things!
I don't even know you but man I'm so proud of you. I also worked my ass off and a few days ago traded in my 06 Kia Rio for a brand new 2018 Rio and man... All you kids out there (I'm only 22 so I'm a kid too in a lot of ways) keep working even those days that you feel like you can't take it anymore keep on keeping on guys. I'm 22 with my own apartment and a brand new car and believe me, those things are worth continuing to work my ass off for. Keep it up guys, you absolutely can do it. I love seeing things like this.
Sarah McGrath i absolutely LOVE this comment!!!! I’m going to share on my IG story. I love this!!!! I’m 20, so we’re close in age! I love how you put that. Honestly not many work hard anymore... so sad.
Sarah McGrath I'm 22 too. saved up and bought a slightly used Ford escape 2016 se. previously I drove a 2002 Mercedes benz e430 that didn't even have a CD player.
@@SB-tg6mn that's awesome! Funny i went from an 06 with a CD player to an '18 without one 😂 buy i guess the bluetooth, aux, and satellite radio are sufficient enough 😉
ayuana bradford everyone goes about their life differently and that’s perfectly okay. What works best for my life, and what works best for your life can be different and that’s just fine! ❤️ I’ve been in a relationship with him for over 6 years, I’ve struggled with mental health before him and grew up very fast, so I am more mature than the average person my age. His whole family married young and are still all together after 35 years of marriage upwards to 65 years of marriage. I know I don’t have to explain myself, but to each their own ❤️❤️ I know the plans I have for me and my family are smart decisions and that’s all that matters! Everyone is different
ayuana bradford just do what’s best for you! I always tell my young friends when they go through a break up and are very sad... that it’s okay! We are so so so young and we DO NOT need to know who our spouses will be.... but I happen to know and that’s just fine too!
Btw that button at 4:40 isn’t for snow it is traction control, when disable it distributes the same amount of power to both of the front wheels, it may be beneficial when stuck in snow but not meant to be driven in wet conditions
Alex thank you 😂 I’m such a nerd... when my fiancé watched the video he started laughing at that point and said I was totally wrong and explained it lol! I was hoping no one would notice, and if they did laugh along with me 😂💛
I just got an Elantra too. And I felt the same way. I feel insanely proud of myself when I look at the car. My hard earned first car. First car in the US.
I match your excitement!!! I just got a Red 2017 Elantra Value Editon on Monday!! It was bittersweet because I had to get rid of my 2011 Ford Focus! My Elantra has everything I wanted in a car except leather seats. I have tan interior too!! I’m extremely happy & I’m happy for you, you’re a hard working woman & I’m happy you have your car!!
I loved this! I normally avoid these types of videos because I dislike the braggy kind of “vibe” they give off. But this was so refreshing! You’re such a sweet and genuine person and I’m so happy I came across your channel. Please keep making content and achieving your goals. You’re so inspiring and alluring. I’m sorry for the cheesy comment, I just felt like you could use a reminder. ☺️
Danielle D thank you Danielle!!!! (My soon to be sister in law’s name is Danielle) 💞 I’m so glad you enjoyed it. Life is way way beyond the materialism of it all that’s for sure!!! 💗
So happy for you Alyssa! You of all people deserve this. Working hard for the things you want is the way to go! You're only going up from here and there is so much more happiness and success ahead of you! ❤
Just bought my first car with my own money today. Just like you I never spent on myself id just save. So today I felt guilty I finally spent my money on a dream car but now I don't feel guilty. I earned it, I worked hard for it, and I'm happy now 😁. Your words of advice really bright my sprit up! Thank you!!
chrisandtimothy ABSOLUTELY! Yes yes yes!!!!! So proud of you! I thought I’d feel guilty spending lots of money, but same as you... I’m proud of it and my hard work paid off.. and I earned it! 💪🏻
This is the first video I watch from you, and geez you got my attention, you are so smart and financially wise for you age which is not common for our generation.
My elantra only has one touchdown driver window but if I put it up it's not auto I just need to hold the window button until the window is completely up I think I had an sel but with push button start and same climate control u had
Ive been doing what you do for 33 years , it’s simple just pay yourself every week . Put it in savings and watch it grow . I currently have the 2016 Elantra GT / GL Auto . I paid cash for it ( It was used . ) Great car !! Enjoy yours , you’ve earned it !!
Oh dear I get you in every aspect From an old car to a new one is blisssssssssss. My aircon also didnt work and now I can change the volume on the steering wheel😁😁😁😁
Seeing this video and where are you are now is sooo crazyyy!! YOU WORK SO HARD FOR EVERYTHING IN LIFE!!! Decided I would watch some of your older videos since you've taken a little break from here to work on your BIG PROJECT , so inspiring
Omg you seem like such a sweet and humble person!! I love how you are amazed by normal features such as heated seats and a touch screen. And its so clever that you chose to buy a cheap car instead of a super expensive one! You got a new subscriber! Wishing you and your Elantra all the best!!
This is such a nice car surprisingly for a Hyundai type of car!! Congrats! I love watching these videos ❤️💕 your so inspirational and real. You go girl 😀
Congratulations! May your new car take you to new places with new people and open up new opportunities in your life. Congratulations again and never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly! Keep your phone down and eyes up!
Matthew Ng i actually looked into the Mazda 3 a lot! I went between that and the Elantra! I choose the Elantra over all of them because the cost is better! And you get more for your money. For instance this model the value edition you get... sunroof, heated seats, and Apple car play, and a brand new car design. Meanwhile the Mazda 3 you didn’t get all that, and it was even more expensive.... plus the 2 colors I wanted costed extra with Mazda! Idk why! But that annoyed me!
I have a 2017 Value Edition. The major difference between the 17 and 18 Value Editions is that the 17 has powered drivers seat with lumbar with rear drum and front disk brakes, where the 18 has a manual driver's seat with all wheel disk brakes, because people were complaining about it not having all wheel disks so Hyundai did that. The audio buttons on the steering wheel have 2nd function if held down (Mode is power, up and down are radio tune in radio and FF/rewind with connected devices). For FM/AM radio in the menu list you can view all of the stations in range of the vehicle and in XM mode it shows all of the stations by category (classical, rock, country...). If your infotainment screen ever freezes or something happens to it (never has for me), there is a small hole next to the volume knob. That is the restart hole and just take something small like a sharp pencil, paper clipm pen with point... and press that and the screen will restart hopefully solving whatever the problem is.That copy button on the wheel along with arrows and ok under it controls the screen between speedometer and rpms, there are a ton of cool settings and other info in their in there. It shows you your individual tire pressures for all 4 tires, in the settings gear you can put in a maintenance timer by miles, months, or both. It can also show you what you are listening to. In the settings gear if you hold down the ok button over a setting it will give you a quick description on it. Some settings are the smart trunk (to stop it from opening temporarily for just the current time you have it locked while it is counting down press the lock button on the key fob and it will stop counting and won't until locked the next time), units (°C/°F for both the climate ctrl/exterior temp), auto lock (shifting out of park or at speed being 8mph and if set to speed can't unlock while above 8 mph and if unlocked under speed will auto relock when back up where if on shift will not relock until shifting in and out of park), auto unlock (either shift to park or when you turn the car off) notifications (switching gears, switching headlights, switching wipers, and when you first turn on the car if you have the steering wheel turned to not hit the car next to you when backing out), RCTA (rear cross traffic alert on/off), welcome lights (lights in door handles and headlights/tail lights), and more...If while in the radio screen on an HD FM station if you go to "Menu" and press "Info" the album picture, artist, and song title is displayed. The center armrest between the front seats slides by holding down the lever to open it and sliding it forwards or backwards. Speaking about that armrest the cup holders for the rear seat fold out from the back of it which I like, because when you have 3 people in the back you can still use it and it just goes between their legs in a non-uncomfortable way. In the setup menu if you hit the icons or something like that button you can customize what is on the bottom home screen dock which I did, because the current icons are also the physical hard buttons under it. 4:33 as far as alumination goes, you can also customize the brightness of the infotainment screen too in setup, display, you can pick a brightness level for day and night (I do brightest during day and darkest during the night); from their you can also define what happens when you hit the "disp" display button being either the whole screen just goes black, goes black with a soft white digital clock/date, or analog clock with date (I do digital, because it is quicker to read and unlike the Sonata, the Elantra doesn't have its own non-infotainment clock). As with the clock, you don't have to go through the setup menu to change it, if you just press the clock on the top middle of the screen from any screen if will bring you to that setup screen. It does have a toggle for daylight savings where it will automatically switch, but I have had mine for over a year so it has gone through 2 time changes and that has never seemed to work though. In the winter when the temperature is ≤39°F it will ding at you to warn you there may be ice which can get annoying. In the beginning I actually confused it with rear cross traffic alert a few times, but it sounds a little different and you get used to it. Also, it has an auto locking thing where if you hit the unlock and don't open a door within 30 seconds it will automatically re-lock itself. Also, if you hear any raddling noises it is your sunglasses in the holder by front lights. With the visor mirror the light switch when on sticks out further than the visor when closed, so it will turn off by itself when you shut the visor and I like that you have to switch it on, so the bulb won't burn out as fast from it being on during the day when it is unnecessary. If you have it, the carpet in the trunk is dual sided, so if you put anything messy in the trunk the other side is rubber that is easier to clean than carpet. Also, the low fuel light comes on when left with a 25 mile range. Just a couple tips to help you get started that I have found for roughly 1.5 years and still love it like on day one.
Peter Gilbert wow THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! That’s all actually very helpful!! When I get the car the dealership didn’t even go over stuff with me! Which is annoying because I jumped so many years in cars!! The seats in the 17 sounds cool! I’m glad you still like it! I’m sure I will as well! Thank you with the “copy button” on the wheel. And just all of it! The reset button that will be helpful to know! Thanks again!!!!!
That's weird that they didn't go over it all. When I got mine at Vision Hyundai in Canandaigua NY, the guy went over everything with me even though that I was finishing his sentences. I guess also just play around with things. There is nothing bad that you can really do, just do it one at a time so if you don't like something you can undo it. And again, with the settings from the wheel button, if you hold the ok button down it will bring up a pop up with a description. Glad I could help and enjoy your new car!
You just inspired me to get this car as well. This is my favorite car tour. You are so likable! When kinda remind me of Miranda sings when you sing talk lol
I love how you stressed this. I got my first job at 16 and never realized how much independence and confidence i felt after being able to earn my own money and make my own purchases , even if it was just a bag of chips lol. Im still trying to better my saving skills but this video really hit me 💯. I like your personality lol but congratulations and drive safe ❤️
