Not powerful engine
I am not satisfied with the performance. The engine is not as powerful as what should be. It's very noisy when you want to accelerate however, In terms of Physical Appearance, I could say, It could be in luxury and beautiful cars category. 5 years Manufactory warranty is another positive thing about this car

Never skipped a beat
I have had my Hyundai Elantra for about 14 years now, it has never had any issues, only minor general services, it's never broken down, its zippy, has excellent pick up and performance, reliable and still starts first go, even on cold mornings. This has honestly been the best car I've ever own. Built to last, I can not say anything negative about it.

Great car
This car drive beautiful, smooth and good, the interior is good plenty of room front and read, I particular brought this sedan as I needed to have two baby seats in the back, and they fit beautifully, with room for another person inbetween, (though only a small person) but at least I have the option

Value for Money
Have the 2014 Trophy, replacement from my 2013 Elite involved in an accident.Both are excellent cars, although I do miss the push button start etc.but gained leather seats.Currently getting 6.5-6.8l/100km on 91octane, running 70ks a day.Powerful and a sporty looking SML/med car, Can recommend this Model.Love the interior finish and the Candy Apple Metalic Paint is a dream to clean.The only minus I have is the Transmission is a bit slow in changing up but if you drive it like a manual it gets of its Ar...se.
July 7th 2017 Update: Base Model's...Read more
problem solved If your thinking of purchasing an Elantra get one 2013 onwards as Hyundai have tweeked most of the minor problems now.Active is really base model, then comes the SE.Good, Then the Trophy with leather finish and the Elite comes with push button start.Highly recommend later models as far as upmarket cars go.Similar opinion?

Beautiful, gorgeous car!
What a car! I absolutely love my 2017 Elantra Elite in iron grey. Stunning to look at with an almost matte look in low light and then when the sun hits it, the most incredible metallic paint! It's a truly elegant and good looking car, very user friendly and the features are brilliant, like the rear view mirror anti-glare function, the auto demist and the self opening boot. It's quick too and feels light to drive. Love the (sort of) leather seats and feel really special driving it around! It's my third brand new Hyundai in a row and it's the best yet and I've had nothing but excellence from Hyundai whenever I've dealt with the service department (only for servicing). I can't recommend this car highly enough!!!

Affordable style
My Elantra is a great driving experience - handles really well, such a smooth drive and nice and quiet.
The dash is stylish and has all that you need with great connectivity. I can fit four or even five comfortably and the driver has a really comfortable feel behind the wheel.
I get great value in my kms - such good value at the pump and I have not had any issue in the nearly 12 months I have had the car. Everything about the car is stylish with comfort and performance mixing together beautifully.
My leather seats are a dream.

Great Car to drive but has a couple of faults.
Very smooth car to drive and to be a passenger.It has a couple of faults with the first being, my wife is about 5ft 2inches and when she is driving she can't see the front bonnet so if she has to park it is hard for her to judge any vehicle in front of her. The other fault is it has a terrible radio to pick up stations and hear them. We can't listen to our local station if we are more than 30 minutes away.

Surprisingly good
We just bought an Elantra Elite for basic travel. We are amazed at just how good it is. Loaded with luxury features, sporty performance and handling and looks great.
Bonus eight year warranty from the dealer to compete with Kia's seven years made this an easy decision.
Love the room, dash layout and comfort.

Still going strong
Very easy car to handle had this one since 2003 with no major repairs and lots of mileage on Australian interstate freeways with really good fuel on premium unleaded. Regular servicing has picked up on one major computer issue 3 years ago, hope it lasts as long as my previous car Honda Accord I had for 20 years.

Just love this car!
I purchased a 2014 Elantra with very low kms and I couldn't be happier, very reliable, handles well, good fuel economy and runs like a dream. Haven't had any problems and a very good price when you compare with Toyota, Holden and Honda for such a great car that has immense street appeal.

Fantastic vehicle
I purchased a 2016 Elantra SE auto and I can't really fault the car. It runs well, handles well, and the fuel economy is fantastic.
I do about 650km a week and that's in peak traffic and open freeway every day. Seats are comfy, stereo is pretty good for standard issue and there is heaps of room front, back and boot.
3 steering assist modes make for easy driving depending on city or highway driving.
Vision is excellent all round the car.
All up I'd highly recommend this car. My previous car was a 2013 Accent SR which was just as good.

Faulty vehicle and bad customer service
I have had my car since Jan 2016, it is a 2015 SE Elantra purchased brand new. It has been back in for repairs more times than I should have had to for general servicing in 5 years. The air-conditioning stopped working within a couple of weeks. It took the repair guys at least three times for them to identify the problem. Then you have to wait for parts and a loan vehicle which is more weeks wait....in summer with no air con. They had it for four days to replace the evaporator. Winter they finally got it working. Last week it stopped again......compressor this time.....still waiting to hear when it will be fixed....I will not be holding my breath......I will not buy Hyundai again.

The worst costumer service ever I had in Australia.
I have an 2011 Hyundai Elantra Elite.
I have a rear parking sensor issue. It beeps constantly while in reverse. It also does not happen every time. I happens mostly afternoon when after I drive 2-3 hours. Specially in hot weather conditions I realized.
I also had exactly same problem about 5 months ago and Hyundai Essendon fixed the issue that time for free because my car is under new car warranty.
1- I went to Hyundai Essendon at 09:00 am on 4th April 2016 as have been booked to inspect why there is constant rear parking sensor beeping w...Read more
hile in reverse. 2- Daniel who is Hyundai Essendon worker told me there is only one rear parking sensor dislocated left side of rear bumper. 3- I asked him that did he checked the all the sensor and he was sure that dislocated sensor makes the constant beeping? He said confidently Yes. 4- That time there was no even constant beeping at all because I drove my house to Hyundai Essendon straightaway in 20 minutes and the weather was cold. I asked him in this condition how did you check all the the sensors and relative parts and then decided that dislocated sensor makes the constant beeping. 5- He told me this is common sense and firstly I need to fix the dislocated sensor and then He will check other things to fix the issue. 6- I told him he did not even check anything he did not even know that dislocated sensor makes the constant beeping but he told me he checked and he is confidently knows that dislocated sensor makes the constant beeping.Similar opinion?

Excellent Car for Everyone
I have had three Hyundai Elantra cars now and although I wanted something different this time round, I still ended up with another. I love the small price for a car that does everything and more another brand does. I have researched all similar cars and found that the Elantra has all the extras included in the price, whereas they are not included with other brands. The best part though, is the performance. My last Hyundai was a 2.0L and this one has dropped to 1.8L. I was a bit skeptical at first but found it has more power than the old one and...Read more
handles like a dream. The interior is spacious and has excellent leg room. I love the bluetooth connectivity. It is so easy to use. The only real fault with this model is the side vision. I find that is difficult to see cars over my shoulder and my daughter agrees with this. Other than that, the reversing sensors are fantastic. I don't know how people can drive without them now. I have the sun roof with my model but in Queensland it is usually too hot to make full use of it. It also comes with heated seats which warm up almost instantly, but once again, not much use to me in this hot climate. The running costs are very low too. Absolutely love this car.Similar opinion?

Great Car
I purchased a 2015 MD3 Hyundai Elantra Premium.
The car is great and handles well particularly cornering when steering is set to sport mode. Flex steer is a great feature!
Car is roomy for a small sized sedan and the boot space is massive!
The car looks the part, drives well and has a great amount of features. For a 1.8 engine it goes pretty good and overtaking on the freeway is effortless for the car of its class. It would be good to see a higher spec engine model but never the less it's a great car.
Full size alloy spare included, non of this space saver or crappy tool kit.

Great Family Car
Had a 2015 Hyundai Elantra SE for over 6 months purchased brand new from Hyundai, and cannot fault it.
It handles really well and you can also select the steering type you prefer (i.e. soft, normal and sport) I tend to leave it in normal most of the time. It's relatively quiet on the road. The interier is quite spacious for a small sedan, we fit a infant capsule in the backseat without having to pull the passenger seat all the way forward. The boot is also quite spacious and features a full size spare wheel which you don't get in all cars the...Read more

Hyundai catching up
Have now had this car, the current model for 2.5 years and traveled just under 30k.Bought it new and got the base model as this was the only model with a manual gearbox. The car is fitted with all the latest safety including all round curtain airbags.
The ride around town is precise, the steering maybe a little light but quite enjoyable and the gearbox easy to work through but it is no sports gearbox. All the controls are easy to operate and in close reach, with steering wheel controls for the stereo. Over the 30k journey with an occasional...Read more
country drive I have averaged 7.5 lt per 100k, with the tank costing about $55 to fill. It equates to me filling the tank maybe once a month and on a country drive getting a blip over 800k from the tank. Reliabilty hasn't been a problem so far nor should it for a car in it's third year, servicing is once a year/15k and costs about $220. It comes with a 5 year warranty and free roadside assistance whilst the car is serviced by Hyundai. The only negative I can come up with is the carpet used is pretty cheap and my wifes heel in her boot wore a hole in it after 18 months, of course if I had stumped up the $95 for factory fitted floor covers, it wouldn't have happened. As it was Kmart had a generic version that cost $12. The car is big enough for four adults, not five unless it is a short trip, the boot holds a good deal more than it looks from outside. The pick up in the manual version is fine without being outstanding in the manual version but less than inspiring in the auto version, still it is a 1.8 litre engine which hasn't been worked so should last you the journey of 15 years. For the price, these cars are an impressive effort and well worth the look at if you are deciding between the car makers under 2 litre models, they have definitely closed the gap on Toyota for reliable small cars.Similar opinion?

Love it!
My new Elantra is extremely comfortable around town and also on freeways. It handles winding roads accurately and has enough power to climb hills easily. What surprised me the most was the value for money: the standard model is fitted with options usually reserved for more expensive cars! Recommend it to anyone!

Better than expected
This is a used car review pertaining to a 2002 Elantra GL 1.8L hatchback,
I bought this car from a private seller two months ago. The test drive showed it was basically sound with a few niggles that are common to these cars, but no service history for the last 80,000km. So I made a cheeky offer as money would need to be spent to get the car back up to scratch.
First caution: if there's no (or missing) proof of timing belt change(s), walk away OR factor that expense into your negotiations. The engines (1.8 and 2.0) are interference design ...Read more
types, so if the timing belt fails, it's rebuild or reco engine time. That's several thousand dollars expense. Getting a workshop to replace the timing belt (do the water pump and accessory belts while they're at it) will cost $500-700 for parts and labor. Maybe a shade under or over depending if you supply your own parts etc. So heeding my own advice, I had the timing belt, water pump and accessory belts changed a week after purchase. Hyundai timing belt intervals for these cars is every 90K, but I've been assured they'll last quite a bit longer. As my car had 210K and evidence of only one belt replaced, I didn't want to risk it. On the test drive, I noticed the door actuators kept signalling the door locks. It would do it in spurts, so you'd have nothing for a minute or so, then they'd rapid-fire for several seconds. Maybe a few seconds of silence then off they'd go again. This is a fairly common problem, and 90% of the time it's not the actuators but the Body Control Module (sends signal to actuators) located behind the centre console. It's not cheap for this OEM part.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Hi,
I'm looking at getting another car and have narrowed it down to an Elantra. Could anyone please tell me if there is much of a difference between a 2014 Hyundai Elantra SE Auto and a 2015 Hyundai Elantra Elite Auto?
Thanks so much
