Used Hyundai Elantra for Sale in Asheville, NC

I have owned my 2012 Hyundai Elantra GLS for about nine months now and have enjoyed it so far. It is black with tan and gray interior. I normally don't like interiors with tan trim or seats, but I really like how it looks in this car. When I bought it, it was very well taken care of. Even though it was six years old, it looked like new. I haven't needed many repairs, but the minor ones I've had done were affordable on parts and labor. I wanted a car that is somewhat luxurious, professional and stylish looking without going to a prestigious brand. I feel the 2012 Elantra is the perfect blend for me because I am proud of how it looks but I don't feel pretentious and it was affordable. It's not extremely fast or focus on performance, but it has plenty of power for my everyday driving. I wish I had the heated seats and back-up camera that are on the limited version, but I am happy with the keyless entry, Bluetooth, etc., that it does have. It didn't have any sort of spare tire if I ever needed one, so I bought an aftermarket full-size wheel and tire that fit in the trunk well. It does quite well on mpg, and I enjoy the avg mpg and range info panels on the dash, it helps me adjust my driving.

The 2008 Hyundai Elantra was a great car for the early years of my adulthood. It has hardly had any mechanical issues. The performance is not amazing, with a lower than average speed and acceleration, but it has never failed me. Outside of the typical maintenance (oil change, tires, etc.), it only needed a new transmission which was covered by the warranty. Cosmetically, there are a lot of issues. The center console is weak and broke very early on in my ownership. The volume knob, and other knobs, do not work properly and sometimes do not work at all. The passenger side window control failed. Overall, this is a reliable vehicle with none of the nice-to-haves in it.
