2012 Hyundai Elantra Customer Comments
“On our routes, which saw us plowing away along grooved freeways, expansion-jointed roads, chopped up asphalt and even the occasional sandy shoreline parking lot, we experienced one of the best compact/mid-sized rides we have had behind the wheel.”
“Even though the interior styling felt expensive, I was a bit put off by the adolescence of its design; it looked like a Transformer in the midst of a noisy, clanking transformation.”
Hyundai Elantra’s interior is impressive. It can come equipped with sought after features like navigation, Bluetooth, a rear view camera and heated leather backseats on the Limited trim — a first for an affordable small car.
Hyundai covers all of its vehicles with one of the most comprehensive warranties on the market: a five-year/60,000-mile bumper to bumper warranty, a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty and five-year complimentary Roadside Assistance.
Hedwig:Just hit 6,000 with the car. I took it on a road trip from Austin, TX to Flagstaff, AZ. The drive is mostly highway with 75 miles per hour speed limit, mostly flat grounds, not much traffic. I maintained a speed around 75-80 mph. The total trip avg. speed was 62 mph. I averaged 37.7 mpg. At one point in New Mexico I drove 150 miles at 42.5 mpg at 75 mph. I suspect I was driving downhill most of the time with wind in the back, because I was not able to duplicate that. I was able to achieve the best gas mileage after I did the first oil change at 3,750 miles. I made sure I put in a high quality engine oil and put a brand gasoline, medium grade, and the gas mileage around 37 to 38 was achieved.
Daniella:Just bought a 2011 Elantra on the 23rd of December. It is my wife’s car – she traded in a 2008 Civic Coupe (we’ve had 5 Hondas). This is our 1st Hyundai, and it is very impressive.
Dollie:I absolutely love this car, it combines comfort with sportiness and excellent on gas. Definitely the best purchase I made to date. I traded in my 2003 Infiniti G35 sedan and have no regretted it one bit.
Vince:The only thing I notice is a little motion in crosswinds. The features are just incredible. Being able to stream Pandora on android phone via Bluetooth is just too cool.
Heather:The doors and trunk close with a thump. The doors are quite heavy for a compact car.
Catherina:The back seat room is smaller but fine for kids, and the car is more fun to drive than the old and new Accords, Sonata, and Fusion.
Timmy:Even without the adjustable lumbar support the seats are comfortable.
Emmett:I then drove from Pensecola to Tallahasse and got 42 miles per gallon. WOW! I did all kinds of milage comparisions while I had the car for a week. In general it gets 32mpg mixed driving. At 75 mph hwy it gets about 35-37mpg. I drove a 17 mile stretch of flat road and it aveaged 55mpg. I was driving a Mazda RX-8. Now I bought a new Elantra for 18,000.00. I would have paid more!
