It is WAY too close to the ground. I've experienced the bumper panel under the front bumper breaking loose twice. I'm not a race car driver. When I park, I have to back in to where I'm parking to avoid contact with any curbs or cement partitions. Cheap clips hold it in place along the front edge. And there is NO clip right in the very front which allows air driving at free way speeds to separate the panel from the bumper. As it begins to separate in that spot, the high speed air continues to separate which pops off all the clips. Then the front drops and drags, scraping off an 8" section on the front of the panel. This allows even more air even if reattached. The back of the panel is secured with bolts. I was told by an auto body repairman that if the front was secured with bolts, it would rip off and damage the whole bumper front end. Who designed this?!! Come on Hyundai!!! The car itself is great.

For the same price, I got a completely different car with more features. I get on average 42-54 mpg. Plenty of power when you need it, and a lot of safety features.

Plastic outside is cheap and not evenly applied. Car Play pretty consistently doesn’t work.

I was in a loaner car for over to 3 months cumulatively over that timeframe. First the infotainment system, then a recall that dismantled all safety features on the car, followed by a defective sensor in the thermostat that caused the engine light keep coming on. I bought a Hyundai because of their great warranties….unfortunately you need them. In fact, you will need to extend them. Its how Hyundai attempts to compete with Honda, Toyota and Subaru. Save yourself the headache, steer clear of any Hyundai dealership!!!! I wish I had. **Rating breakdown** (out of 5): Comfort 2\.0 Interior 3\.0 Performance 1\.0 Value 1\.0 Exterior 4\.0 Reliability 1\.0 - Purchased a **New** car - Used for **Commuting** - **Does not** recommend this car **5** people out of **6** found this review helpful.

It is WAY too close to the ground. I've experienced the bumper panel under the front bumper breaking loose twice. I'm not a race car driver. When I park, I have to back in to where I'm parking to avoid contact with any curbs or cement partitions. Cheap clips hold it in place along the front edge. And there is NO clip right in the very front which allows air driving at free way speeds to separate the panel from the bumper. As it begins to separate in that spot, the high speed air continues to separate which pops off all the clips. Then the front drops and drags, scraping off an 8" section on the front of the panel. This allows even more air even if reattached. The back of the panel is secured with bolts. I was told by an auto body repairman that if the front was secured with bolts, it would rip off and damage the whole bumper front end. Who designed this?!! Come on Hyundai!!! The car itself is great.

For the same price, I got a completely different car with more features. I get on average 42-54 mpg. Plenty of power when you need it, and a lot of safety features. I did have an issue with the power steering harness being installed improperly, but the dealership fixed it within a day **Rating breakdown** (out of 5): Comfort 5\.0 Interior 5\.0 Performance 5\.0 Value 5\.0 Exterior 5\.0 Reliability 5\.0 - Purchased a **New** car - Used for **Commuting** - **Does** recommend this car **4** people out of **4** found this review helpful.

YesNo ### Pretty good July 7, 2022 By Michael from Utah **Owns this car** Materials are a bit cheap all around, can see the lines where the stickers end on the buttons, around the infotainment etc. Black gloss on the inside are different shades of black. Plastic outside is cheap and not evenly applied. Car Play pretty consistently doesn’t work. Other than that good I guess **Rating breakdown** (out of 5): Comfort 4\.0 Interior 3\.0 Performance 4\.0 Value 5\.0 Exterior 4\.0 Reliability 3\.0 - Purchased a **New** car - Used for **Commuting** - **Does** recommend this car **3** people out of **5** found this review helpful.

I was in a loaner car for over to 3 months cumulatively over that timeframe. First the infotainment system, then a recall that dismantled all safety features on the car, followed by a defective sensor in the thermostat that caused the engine light keep coming on. I bought a Hyundai because of their great warranties….unfortunately you need them. In fact, you will need to extend them. Its how Hyundai attempts to compete with Honda, Toyota and Subaru. Save yourself the headache, steer clear of any Hyundai dealership!!!! I wish I had. **Rating breakdown** (out of 5): Comfort 2\.0 Interior 3\.0 Performance 1\.0 Value 1\.0 Exterior 4\.0 Reliability 1\.0 - Purchased a **New** car - Used for **Commuting** - **Does not** recommend this car **5** people out of **6** found this review helpful.

We track every fill-up to determine the true gas mileage. Someone should investigate. **Rating breakdown** (out of 5): Comfort 5\.0 Interior 5\.0 Performance 5\.0 Value 5\.0 Exterior 5\.0 Reliability 5\.0 - Purchased a **New** car - Used for **Transporting family** - **Does** recommend this car **10** people out of **11** found this review helpful.

The Elantra is so much more fun to drive with a better warranty and standard features.
