Most reliable car

This is my 5th car and Hyundai Elantra is the most trusted one. I get good gas mileage per gallon. Current odometer mileage is 65K and never had any issues in the past and even now.

Most reliable car I owned

This is my 5th car and this car is very reliable. I have driven just 65K miles and never had any issues in the past as well as now. Gas Mileage is still good and gives more than 25 Miles per gallon. All the parts in my car except wear and tear stuff are original and in great condition.

Decent, Solid Car

I got the car used and with fairly high mileage. Aside from a broken cooling hose, it was reliable enough. It was comfortable and just nice enough to make me feel like I wasn't slumming it. I'd love to get a newer model in the future.

Owned for 12 years

This car was great and met all my needs as a college student and young adult. It was great for using for grocery shopping and running errands around town, and also go me all over the country to travel. While at the end of my time owning it, it was certainly dated (entertainment system was lacking bluetooth, and interior was very old) it absolutely served me well and was a fantastic car for someone who doesn't have a lot of money to spend on a brand new vehicle.

Good First Car to Have

The car was a trooper. I had my Elantra since November of 2016 and I loved driving her. The engine was really good and sure it had some issues, but it stood strong.

Nice car for new teenage driver

Brought this for a first car for my teenage son and couldn't be more happier. I wanted something not to big and not to small that he could handle. So far so good. I was even surprised that the car has a little pick up . Not a bad ride at all.
