2010 Hyundai Elantra - A Really Great Car
My car is really great. I love that it has a place to charge your phone, and auxiliary cord outlet and a cd player. The car has a really great sound system which is very important to me and while driving in my car I never have to worry about my phone dying. I also like the way the car drives. The gas pedal works very well and I like the amount of pressure you have to put on the gas and brakes. It's a very good amount. I also appreciate the shocks on the car, I live in Maine and it does just fine with bumps. The car has great mileage and I only fill up once a week at a great price. The outside of the care is really great too. It's black, sleek and sexy. I've had many compliments on the car and many people asking me where I got it. The seats are very comfortable and the inside is just as... (more)

The seats are very comfortable and the inside is just as sexy as the outside, not to mention very spacious. The tires work great and it has a great radius for being able to turn around in tight places. It needs new tires quite often because of the icy winters in Maine, but many cars here do.
Driving really fast on a straight-away marked 65mph listening to really loud music.

The best parts about the car are it's looks and it's feel. The car has been through a lot and was used when I purchased it. Yet it still looks brand new on the outside and extremely sexy. The outside is a sleek black, and no matter how many Maine muddy places it drives through or Icy, snowy winters it goes through, it always ends up looking brand new with a little wash. I'm very impressed with the over outside look of the car and like how good I look driving in it. The inside is great as well though.

I love being able to drive my boyfriend or friends around and having them say "wow there is so much space!". It's important that my friends are comfortable while I drive them around. I also love the sound system because my friends love my playlists. The auxiliary cord outlet is very helpful as well because a lot of the time my boyfriend or friends will bring their own phones and want to play their own music. That way with the auxiliary cord they can! I'm also happy the car drives so smooth because I know, personally I'm not the best driver and it definitely makes up for my choppy driving sometimes.
The car won't last as long as a Toyota. The number of miles you can put on it is still good but it will not last as long as my previous car. I notice that sometimes after long trips like driving from Maine to Ohio the car's engine light will appear. This scares me because it happens every single time. But after one day after the big trip it always seems to just go away. I've heard of other people having little problems like this with their Hyundai's as well. I personally think since it only happens after long trips that these cars just don't do well with long trips. I think this type of ca... (more)

I personally think since it only happens after long trips that these cars just don't do well with long trips. I think this type of car can only handle so many miles before you have o get a new one. One big thing I've noticed with this car is the way it's lined up in the back. I've had to get new tires very often with this car, we do have rough winters but I think something is lined up incorrectly in the back where the back tires connect to the car. I feel that a car as new as it is shouldn't be having issue like that already. I think this car needs to be able to handle a lot of miles better and should not be uneven and wobbly around ice with ice tires.
2009 Hyundai Elantra - Reliable and quality car
I have a white Hyundai Elantra (2009). I bought it brand new and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I loved the Hyundai warranty that came with it, and every Hyundai car, because its one of the best warranties a manufacturer offers. It has not had any severe, or minute, issues since I bought it. It is a great compact car with a pretty large trunk. It is able to fit 2 small suitcases AND a stroller! It is really easy and smooth to drive, especially for the price point. The only thing I kind of dislike about the car is the interior. I am not a huge fan of how the dashboard is laid out. That is a personal preference, but the buttons aren't exactly "stylish" and I think that some knobs and buttons could be rearranged for a better looking interior.

My friends and I were going camping around where I live and it had rained a couple days beforehand, but I didn't think it would still be muddy. Once we got close to our location, it was all off road without any type of gravel or concrete to drive on. The plantar is NOT 4 wheel drive so I don't know how my friends and I could drive through to our camping spot, but we had tried it and sure enoug... (more)

Once we got close to our location, it was all off road without any type of gravel or concrete to drive on. The plantar is NOT 4 wheel drive so I don't know how my friends and I could drive through to our camping spot, but we had tried it and sure enough, we got stuck in about 8 inches of straight mud. It was very messy, but we were able to get the car out of the mud and had to just park in a dryer spot and walk to our location. It could have been a lot worse and it ended up being a very funny/good experience.
The price and the warranty are the best things about this vehicle. They were fairly cheap for the quality of the car. There have not been any engine or mechanical issues since I have bought the car, which was 6 years ago! The parts for the car, if there ever was an issue, are pretty cheap as well. This car is a perfect example of the fact that just because you pay a small amount of money doesn't mean you aren't getting a quality product! My favorite feature on the car is the gas tank door locks and there is a pull level located on the bottom side of the drivers seat and that is the only wa... (more)

My favorite feature on the car is the gas tank door locks and there is a pull level located on the bottom side of the drivers seat and that is the only way you can open the door to put gas in it. I think that is a great feature that is often overlooked because this way someone cant come to your car and try to syphon the gas out (which has happened to people in my neighborhood). One other thing I really love about the car is the interior lights on the gauges of the dashboard. It is a really bright blue and red that looks really cool and futuristic at night. I love it!
The top negative thing about this car, like I said in the previous paragraph, is the interior. The more and more I have used the car, I have realized that for me personally, some of the buttons and knobs could be rearranged to suit myself better. I also feel like some of the buttons could have been designed to be more "stylish" looking. While I did like the idea of having the 3 larger knobs on the bottom of the dashboard because it was a different look than most cars have now, I have come to find that they aren't easily reachable when you are driving and don't want to look away from the ro...

The dashboard just looks a little generic and unoriginal beside the 3 knobs on the bottom of the dashboard.
2010 Hyundai Elantra - Great car for little money
I bought this car before the new model came out, so I saved a lot of money over the new version. The car does not have many of the details that more expensive and new cars have, but I did not need that. All I needed was a reliable car for my very short commutes when I do not ride my bike. Also a car that could handle putting all my sports equipment. And so far this car has done that and more.

Nothing memorable has happened with this car so far.

Uses little fuel. It comes with a 10 year warranty and road assistance that I have used a couple of times for minor things and worked very well.
