  • 2106 Elantra SE Great Choice - 2016 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    Was going to lease a Sonata but was more impressed with the 2016 Elantra SE. Seats were more comfortable, handling was better, overall like the Elantra better. Have driven for 1 month very happy with our choice, have gotten 38 MPG on the highway also good gas mileage in the city.

  • Black, Curvy, and Sporty! - 2016 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    I know your initial thought: am I talking about Serena Williams? No, but you can bet it was not hard to name my new 2016 black and beautiful Hyundai Elantra after the worlds best womens tennis player of all time. I bought my car fully loaded from Rick Case Hyundai in Duluth and I could not be more happier! I came in pre-approved so I was pretty much shopping for what I wanted. I sealed the deal in the same day with minor tit-for-tat negotiating and walked away with my new baby! Salesman, Blessing Iyere blessed me with the vehicle of my liking and I could not be more satisfied. Truly grateful!

  • Bronze 2016 Elantra VE seriously rocks! - 2016 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    I love my Elantra! This is the best vehicle Ive bought in 10 years! Well, to be fair thats because my last one was a 2005 Hyundai Tucson that my eldest grandson is now driving. Due to mobility problems, sedans became difficult for me years back because they were too low, but the 2016 Elantra has a height-adjustable driver seat which makes is perfect for me. Im my 83-year-old 49" mothers caregiver so the Elantra is a perfect match for her, too, whereas the Tucson was a bit too high for egress safety. This is my first vehicle with keyless ignition about which I was a bit dubious, but Ive come to love not having to carry a key ring around. I love the sunroof (standard on the VE), and the backup camera has been very useful at night backing out of our long driveway which has a curve in it. My only two negatives are: 1. The curve of the roof line toward the A pillars is a bit shallow as it goes toward the windshield which makes getting in and out a little bit difficult without bumping my head. Its taken a while to remember to lean back into the seat but Im getting the hang of it. 2. Visibility, especially obliquely, is somewhat reduced by the wideness of the C pillars combined with the narrowing of the rear windows. These are things that one can adjust to eventually so Id just advise additional caution until adapted. All-in-all I would heartily recommend this vehicle. My sister, who went with me to buy mine, liked it so much she bought one the next day.

  • Best Looking Mid-Size Sedan - The Fluidic Design - 2016 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    I believed this was the last batch of 2016 inventory of the fluidic design Elantra, before they introduced the 2017 new look. For me I still preferred the fluidic design because it can easily be identified as originally Hyundai design. Like it has its own trademark which really became famous in the auto industry, where other car manufacturer tried to copy but nothing came close to it. Aside from its looks of course, is the performance which is highly rated as well, plus the comfort and safety of the car. On top of that with Hyundai 10 year power train warranty, where else can you go wrong in choosing this car. Its really an excellent investment.

  • Helluva Upgrade from My Old Mans Standby - 2016 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    I kept my Toyota Corolla S for 11-years and it served me with dependability but not a lot of pizazz. When I decided on the Hyundai Elantra, what struck me right off the bat were the headlamps...actually the entire front of the vehicle. It looked almost evil, and that made me feel like a kid again! The head-on view of the car is impressive! The headlamp "guns" definitely illuminates the roadway at night with more than enough brightness. The cavernous trunk has room for my golf clubs AND my fishing equipment, AND my storage bin for cleaning supplies! Getting used to not having to use a key took a while, but the convenience cant be taken for granted. Being in Hawaii, I didnt need the heated leather seats but I may use it when water freezes in our state at 69-degrees! The power seat with lumbar support is a dream. The controls are easy to use and I have nothing but praise for the entire dash. And while I may have lost a bit of MPG, this car MOVES with the 2.0 engine! That more than makes up for the 3-4 MPG I lost. When I step on the accelerator, I am pushed back in my seat as the car lives up to the SPORT in the name. I used to have a Corolla-S that got laughed at when I lost a drag race with a lawnmower. Truth be told, this old man doesnt need all that power I have at my disposal, but it sure is nice to have. My dealer (Tony Hyundai in Honolulu) has gone out of their way to make this ownership feel like I purchased a luxury car! Getting a $1000 rebate because I purchased the car during a promotion made this even sweeter!

  • Black Phantom Beauty! - 2016 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    Besides being a little hard getting in and out, I have become use to sliding the seat back! I love this car! I feel like I stole it from Phil Long of Motor City in Colorado Springs as I cant believe the deal that I got! I had to drive to and from Arkansas (2000 miles) due to an emergency not long after I bought it so got to know the car very well. The car handled like a dream the whole way! Many people on the way at rest stops, gas stations, etc. complimented me on my car and it made me swell with pride! Hyundai definitely has a winner with this one!

  • Good buy for the money! - 2016 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    This is my first brand new car to purchase. I may be a little biased due to the fact this was the first car that I looked at, first dealership that I went to, and I ended up buying the car. I have put 1600 miles on the car so far in the month I have owned it ( I know, my girlfriend loves it and always wants to drive it). The car has been great so far, it feels nice on the road, when i get on the highway going at a fast speed the tires grab the road very well when sliding, if i hit a bump i never feel like my tires arent in contact with the road, I know this has to do with the traction control the car has. Once you get on the road or highway the drive is nice, its a little noisy but nothing you cant get used to, the stock radio/cd/xmsiruis rado is delightful. I got the base model SE which my only upgrades are rubber mats (highly recommend) and the auto-dimming mirror/compass. You can hear road noise but its not overwhelming, I dont expect silence when I drive anyways, its really not safe when driving long distances and with this car you will get amazing gas mileage doing that. I have been getting around 38 MPG although I drive a lot of highway, once you put on the Active ECO you can get higher, my highest yet is 40 MPG. My only gripe with the model I got is there isnt automatic headlights and I would have liked the window lock button to light up the same way that the other window buttons on the driver side light up. The car drives great though even with a 1.8 liter 4 cylinder engine, the transmission shifts very smooth and I never have a problem merging with traffic or accelerating to make a lane change. The body of the car is very sexy. I chose the black version and with tinted windows its a very good looking car. If you are looking for a reliable car with a 100,000 mile power train warranty and a 60,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty that will definitely last the length of your car loan, this is a great choice.

  • My new shiny red car - 2016 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    I have owned many different vehicles in the past include two Grand Cherokees, a Firebird, Escape, Land Rover, and a Corolla. My new 2016 Elantra is by far the BEST car Ive ever owned! The Value Edition offers many bells and whistles that Ive not been used to on other vehicles Ive owned. I was highly impressed with the heated seats, touch screen radio, Bluetooth, back up camera, sunroof, and XM. With Hyundai, they give you 90 of XM subscription for free. However, I already had XM in my Corolla so all I had to do was transfer the service from the Onyx box to the vehicle itself. I absolutely love the fact that my vehicle includes hands free calling. I travel A LOT for my job and being on the phone while driving is part of my everyday job. I was not even planning on really buying a vehicle the day I purchased my 2016 Elantra. My Corolla had just turned 100,000 miles and was starting to really show its wear and tear. I went into the dealer to look at a 2013 model that I saw for sale online. My luck-they had just sold the car that morning. The salesperson asked me to consider buying new due to the warranty and the fact that a new car was not much more expensive than a used one. He asked me what features I was looking for in a car and after I told him, he suggested the value edition for me. After looking at the car and starting the engine, I fell in love with it instantly. It had so many features! After taking it for a test drive, I knew I was going to purchase the car that day. The only changes I would make to the vehicle is the power of acceleration. (I am cognizant of the fact that its only a 1.8 4 cylinder and that its not going to have much power). However, it gets great gas mileage despite not having a lot of power. The only other feature I would add is power seats. The handling is perfect and it has an extremely smooth ride. The sound system is excellent. I will definitely buy Hyundai again!
