Used Hyundai Elantra GT for Sale

We bought this vehicle specifically for the gas mileage and the fact that we can transport our daughter's huge string bass musical instrument to lessons and concerts when we fold down one of the back seats. We've also driven with bass across the country without any sacrifice in comfort or performance. The bass fits just fine. This sporty car easily seats five --three if you include the string bass. It gets good performance, accelerating quickly on the highway. It's practical because of the smaller size and great gas mileage -- around 30 mpg. Plus, this car is reliable. I have had no major problems with it. No noises, no engine problems, etc. In fact, I drive this car between Dallas and Ft. Lauderdale several times a year and have been pleased with its lack of maintenance drama. The ride is comfortable and smooth, even when going over Dallas's notorious potholes. The Hyundai Elantra GT should not be confused with a large luxury car, but the pros far outweigh the cons. This is a great vehicle.

The Elantra GT's front seats have been beefed up from regular Elantra duty with more aggressive side bolsters, a nice touch in an inexpensive compact. The available power driver's seat is exceptionally adjustable and supportive. The deeply hooded gauges feature Hyundai's standard-issue clear numerals and blue accents. Surprisingly, the Elantra GT's dashboard and control layout is less stylized than the Elantra sedan's. Compare the two side by side, and you'll find that the GT plays it safe with fewer complex curves and surfaces. Happily, most of the controls are no-nonsense and easily learned, while materials quality is satisfactory. The Elantra GT's shorter wheelbase takes a small bite out of back-seat space, but there's still room for full-size adults there if the adults in front play nice. Trunk space is 23 cu ft., while folding down the rear seatbacks opens up a healthy 51 cu ft. Under the hood, the 2.0-liter 4-cylinder delivers reasonably peppy performance in most situations. It feels strained at times, but it's a definite improvement over the old 1.8-liter unit that was discontinued after 2013. As for transmission, the precise 6-speed manual gives a more responsive feel, but at least the optional 6-speed automatic's downshifts are quicker than the norm these days. We do wish the 1.8-liter motor was still available, as we're sure there are folks who would rather have less power and an extra 3 mpg. On the road, the Elantra GT handles crisply atop its sport-tuned suspension. The standard driver-adjustable steering effort is a first for this class, and it illustrates one of the main technological advantages of electric power steering: customizability. We'd still pick a Ford Focus or a Mazda3 first for enthusiastic driving, but those models don't offer the Elantra GT's value. The Elantra sedan is already a nimble little car, and the shorter GT feels even more resourceful in tight spots. In part because of its relatively lightweight, the Elantra GT can get a little out of sorts on rough roads, but I am generally impressed with the smoothness of its ride.

Overall, I really like my car. I have had no problems with it. Right now my car has almost 100,000 miles (so my Power Train Warranty is about to expire) but I haven't had any problems with it. I think the fuel economy has been really good. The car is very comfortable to sit in for long drives. The car is small enough that it is very easy to park. The trunk is very roomy and the seats fold down easily so I have been able to transport a surprising amount of things in it going back and forth to IKEA. The thing I dislike most about the car is the design; it's ugly. Right now the tire sensor is broken, which is annoying but not the worst thing. Also any time the temperature drops I will have to put air in the tires because the sensor is so sensitive.
