2016 Hyundai Elantra GT - Satisfied.
We purchased the mid-level model. The features are great for the money. Comfort could be a little better; the front seats should be just a tad stiffer on the lower back. The side mirrors reflect back on the glass when the sun is just right, and it can be distracting. I've never seen this before, even on our last 2016 Elantra. The rear glass is virtually unobstructed. Don't even look at an Accent unless you do not intend to use your rear view interior mirror. The view is horrible. We went to buy the Accent, ended up with Elantra...bonus was the Elantra has a much better safety rating and is huge inside compared to Accent, but you don't notice that until you get inside the car. Noise level is lower on the mid-level Elantra compared to the base model. We didn't drive the luxury version; t... (more)
Story
One memorable story I had using my car is when I had a very long road trip for a week, and it never broke down or disappointed me.
Pros
The comfort and safety.
2016 Hyundai Elantra GT - Great affordable, reliable car
The 2016 Hyundai Elantra GT Hatchback is a great car for both daily commute and long distance travel. The vehicle is not too big and not too small. It is spacious and versatile in use. I purchased the vehicle in the galactic gray color, which has a very attractive light purple sheen. The car had decent mileage, and it still runs like new without any problems. The car also has many up to date, modern features such as Bluetooth phone capability (which I love), AUX ports, CD player, and Sirius XM.
Story
As a new college graduate and an adult with a full-time job, buying my first vehicle was a huge milestone in my life. This car means a lot to me and definitely a huge investment where I hope to drive and use for quite some time.
Pros
Although it is a hatchback, the car has a spacious trunk where the back seats can be folded down when needed to store bigger items. Living in the Midwest, by far the most attractive feature is the heated seats which comes in handy during freezing weather. The car manages well when driving in snow and icy conditions, which is a huge plus. The car has great gas mileage. I have driven this car to and from work. The car is very comfortable to drive and has not lacked in performance during long distance trips as well.
Cons
The only disappointment is the lack in an auto headlight function, so manually turning on and off headlights/driving lights takes some personal reminding. Also, the trip computer function is kind of pointless. A more functional feature could be the ability to view readings for tire pressure, coolant levels, and oil percentage instead.
