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.

I bought this car because I was looking for a hatchback that was roomier than the sub-compacts that are frequently seen on the market today. The Elantra GT was one of the only cars out there that fit the bill (and my budget!). I love having the more flexible cargo space that comes along with owning this car. With the seats folded down, I was able to easily fit the baby crib that I purchased at Walmart, with room to fit the crib mattress as well. The seats fold down easily, although they do not fold completely flat. The base model comes with plenty of features that make this car a serious upgrade from my previous 2004 Honda Civic. The front heated seats have two settings, and they're great on cold winter days. The Bluetooth capabilities make hands-free calling easy and allows me to play audio from my phone through the car stereo. Fuel efficiency isn't quite as good as what I got from my old Civic, but I manage an average of about 32mpg driving mainly to and from work which is still excellent! After owning this car for 4 years, I have nearly 80,000 miles on it and haven't had any major problems. In fact, the only issue I've had to have serviced by the dealership is the stereo which occasionally turns itself off and back on for no apparent reason. (Two separate dealerships never were able to identify the cause of the problem, but it happens infrequently enough that I can live with that outcome.) The one thing that does bother me about this car is the cloth used for the interior. It's a coarser, textured fabric that looks great style-wise, but is a pain to clean. I'd almost prefer a more traditional style cloth interior, and I'd suggest going for leather if it's in your budget. Overall, I'm satisfied with this vehicle, and I would recommend the car to others.

I'm very pleased with my Hyundai Elantra-GT purchase. The alloy wheels make the ride feel smooth and safe. I always feel like the car is securely on the ground even when driving fast in the rain. The hatchback feature that adds the 5th rear door is something I will never give up with a sedan again. I have so much more space to fit things in the car now that I can completely flatten the backseat. I volunteer for an animal shelter, and I was successfully able to fit 12 cats in individual carriers into my car to transport them to a rescue! The ability to have a small car, save on gas, and have the space makes this car perfect for me. The only cons about this vehicle is that it can be a bit crammed for a tall person. I also find that when my suspension is having to work hard on rough roads, my brakes feel shaky. I haven't had any other issues with it besides that. I enjoy the extra features like a USB port for my iPod and the steering wheel controls. The interior has also been really sturdy and easy to clean after moving cats and dogs around in the backseat. I live in a state where we experience seasonal hurricanes, and I feel like this car will be perfect for me to fit all my pets and necessities with me if I ever have to evacuate.
