I Hate This Car — UUGGHH, I hate this car. I feel like im driving a clown car. I hit my head on the ceiling all the time, i bang my elbows all around since there's no elbow room. The horn sounds like a mouse being shocked (it may well be, since i think under the hood is a hamster wheel) and lastly its no fun what-so-ever to drive. one positive is i dont have to feed the mice all the time.

Great Price For All That You Get By Susan

Great price for an amazing car. I also purchased the extended, bumper- to-bumper warranty for an additional $1,200. Which is well worth it since I also purchased the tech. Package, and the extende... Read More

Great Value And Quality Packed Into This Smaller Car By HappyElantraOwner

All the articles I read before buying this vehicle summed it up accurately; the overall handling of the Elantra is out of its class. It has the smoothest most comfortable ride and good turning radiu... Read More

Fuel Efficient, Safe, Reliable, Comfortable Ride By hondasabre

There's nothing I don't like about this car, except that I used to have a 2007 Elantra SE trim, (not a GLS) so I miss the sportier aluminum rims and the steering wheel audio controls. Its a great car ... Read More
