Thank you for laugh during this review!
I love Hyundai cars most especially Elantras they’re incredibly great. I use the Elantra and I have never had any issues with it for once.
Agreed. Thanks for watching 👋🏽
I just bought this car and I love it so much. I agree with dude all the way. Great review!
Thanks - enjoy the ride!
I love my 2013 Elantra! I agree it's a great little car. Awesome gas milage and yes it definitely looks more expensive than it is.
Personally I think the handling is very responsive and sharp. Which was the deciding factor between the Sonata and Elantra for me (the Sonata was a little...sluggish feeling?) Maybe it's just me.
Great review btw! You really know your stuff.
Thanks! I LOVE the Elantra!
Good because I'm getting a brand new 2016 model tomorrow and it will be blue. I'm so excited. My first car was handed down, it was a 2005 model. Very old, so I'm ready for my new car! I can't wait to get off of work tomorrow to go get it lol.
+Jessica Lynn awesome!!! let me know how you like the new model!
+Jessica Lynn I have the 2016 in a black and I love it! :)
right on!
Thank you! I just got this as my first car! I’m very excited :) I love it already
Awesome!!! Congratulations 👍🏽
theMediaMart 😊 thank you
You look like Jeff goldblum from Independence Day
Ha ha
Hyundai is making great strides in reliability. They're solid!
This will be my first car. Spent 10k on 69k miles.
Nice. Enjoy!
you're a natural at reviewing cars. I'm thinking about buying one for running around town. no down payment, 0% financing for 96 months right now.
My 2016 Elantra is the SE value edition. It is Lakeside Blue and has tinted windows, sunroof, push button start, leather wrap stealing wheel. I like the car a lot good for the money.
Sounds like a sweet ride!
Thanks, Dude it is really sweat and perfect for a everyday driver. Looks good, great mpg and great warrantees. I prefer buying from Morrie's Hyundai for sweat offers.
👍🏽
Russel Wilson in the future right there
😂😂
yOU MADE ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT MY ELANTRA....THANKS Mr. average Guy!!!!
Zoilo Paragas Jr LOVE the Elantra! enjoy it!
Funny he DOSENT own a Hyundai. . Most of these people that rate cars . Spend a short time with them. Sure the Elantra looks great at first but as time goes on it's just a crapy Hyundai. . The Media mart guy told Me he had owned and loved Subaru. .... just saying you really cant rate a car until you have spent time with it. Edmonds rated the Elantra lower than the FOCUS. CIVIC. And the Mazda 3. And complained about the same cheap interior. And poor MPGS. .I drove the new one while my 2012. Was in the shop AGAIN. . And it's the same car. The exact same cheap interior. With a horrible road noise. . The only difference is the motor. And it gets less Mpg than mine.. no offense to the Media Mart Man. But this car is a $ 16,000.00 car. That Hyundai marketed for more than its worth. Hyundai is still trying to copy Honda. So why not just buy a Honda. Honda has the reputation. And it has a higher resale value. . Hyundai has the 100,000 miles warranty. Power train only. The dealer told us we needed to buy a extended warranty for the electrical problems Hyundai has. . Another $2,500.00. Honda doesn't need to give a 100k warranty. Because it a great car. And save the $ 2,500.00 and buy a Honda. Or the new Nissan Senators Rocks. The Subaru has the best comfert. Handling and the highest RESALE VALUE. And the highest Safety Rating. And you get a Bluetooth and back up camera standard. And all wheel drive.
like I said you are entitled to your opinion I will agree my wife's 2008 Elantra is better than my 2012. but you haven't heard road noise until you drive the 2011 to the 2015. same crapy car. I have driven a 2012 , 2013, and a 2015, same freeking car. loud uncomfortable. and no one gets 39.5 MPG'S. that WAS PROVEN IN THE LAWSUITS/ LOOK IT UP. CANADA, KOREA AND THE USA ALL SUED HYUNDAI. THE MOST THEY GOT WAS 38 MPG'S AND THEY USED A HIGHER OCTAINE FULL THAN WE CAN GET. SO UNLESS YOU OWN A 2011 OR NEW YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY.
HYUNDAI OIS THE SECOND WORST BUILT CAR, NEXT TO A MITSUBISHI. THERE CUSYOMER SERVICE IS CRAP, AS WELL AS THERE WARRNTY. IF YOUR FRONT END CAME LOOSE WITH YOUR FAMILY IN IT YOU WOULD BE PISSED TOO. HYUNDAI NEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HASNT TOLD ANYONE. HYUNDAI SUCKS HAVE A GREAT DAY
ha ha heee. you make me laugh
palm of hand on face. who cares, what you think.
Purchased a new 2013 Elantra GLS 4 door 6 months ago and love it. I drive 2000 miles per month and haven't had any problems with the car. And on a weekly basis I drive from LA to Bakersfield. Yes, this means driving through the "grapevine" which automatically places me in the severe driving category because of the 4000+ feet of elevation. Want to really test a car? Drive through the grapevine. I average 20mpg going through those high mountains but everywhere else I average at least 35mpg.
my family owns this beautiful car and the colour of our car is red.. so beautiful
Yes - you have to buy a subscription to keep the service after the initial trail period - but it's well worth it!
I agree with you 100% thanks for watching and commenting on my video! Tony
I love your reviews. You are not only informative but entertaining as well. The Elantra is a great car with plenty of bang for your buck.
Thank you! Yes - the Elantra is a cool little ride.
Hello Tony.
This is one of the most honest and the best reviews I have seen.
I am torn between Hyundai Elentra (2014) - Toyota Corolla (2014) and Honda Accord 2012 (50000 km). They are about the same price in Dubai.
Can you please tell me which one would you suggest i should buy?
If you respond soon to this I might save some money because Hyundai has the Elentra at a discount and if i go for that one I would save $1000 on it.
Regards,
Talha
Bought a 2013 Elantra Limited with tech package 7/2013. So far disappointed in gas mileage 20 mpg in town - but still only has 850 miles on it. My wife's car - she doesn't drive it much. Hope mpg improves. other complaints: No spare tire. all trim is plastic (no chrome), speedometer hard to tell accurate speed, goes from 0-160 with 10 mph increments too close together to know if you are going 42 or 48. Should be 0-120 mph in 5 mph increments with more spacing. But, overall, we do love the car.
I just bought a 2014 Elantra Limited two weeks ago. I'm only getting 23-24 mpg in the city. Granted, it's been a hot summer and I've had the A/C on the whole time, but I've been driving quite conservatively and I was hoping to achieve at least the 28 mpg advertised city mileage. Nah-uh. Hasn't happened. :( Let's hope I get better mileage once the weather cools down a bit.
dLimboStick you probably have a heavy foot!
theMediaMart
Oh! Without a doubt, I have a heavy foot...normally. But I've been babying the throttle...trying my best to get better mileage and the BEST I've gotten...and this is mostly highway...was 30.1 mpg. I'm thinking they got their great numbers going downhill with a tail wind. ;)
dLimboStick we absolutely love our car i really dont know what you are going on about , its fun to drive takes corners at high speeds with ease and its great value for money we got about 37 mpg on 1 tank even when gunning the car at top speeds.Maby u should let the motor run itself in first . at the best of times i got 48 mpg.
jeandre els
Wow! I wish I could get that mpg. I must say. I love the car too! It's just not getting the mileage advertised. I've had the car two months now. I've taken it on one long distance road trip. On that trip, I got 37 mpg. My normal workday driving, which consists of combined city and highway driving, on average I'm getting 25 mpg, not the advertised 31 mpg of mixed driving, and not even the advertised 27 mpg of pure city driving. When I mentioned this to the sale person, he said I need to let the motor wear in. It's been two months. I don't think it's going to wear in any more than it already has.
Wait till you break it in 10000 miles mine gets 28 around town
I rented & drove this car yesterday. You are right about the steer & material quality of the interior/dashboard. Overall, it's a nice car, but it won't be my top choice.
no worries my friend - the vw polo - don't think that's sold here in the US
Looking at buying this and using it for an occasional trip to beach (2 hour drive). Would it be good?
It’s a wonderful little car. I really enjoyed my time with it. Make sure you have a certified mechanic look over any used vehicle you buy and go for it if you get the 👍🏽 thumbs up!
Thanks for watching my video!
theMediaMart thanks!
people that are shopping for the 2013 model - want to know about that one. There are subtle changes from year to year.
Thanks for the review! May be my next purchase!
Did you get one yet?
Just bought this car. Very nice for what you pay for. My HTC One X works well with the bluetooth. I stream pandora through it and it works well(for the most part). I really love this car. I live in Colorado, so I don't use the eco button cause there are so many hills. But still great mileage.
Good review man, my dad just got a used one of these - it’s not bad
Your Dad is the man👍🏽
I average 33mpg and it is much better than my previous car, the Audi A4. I average on my highway trips at about 38mpg. It is a great car, and I will definitely buy a Hyundai again. 2013 Limited.
All three are great choices - my favorite would probably be the Cruze - but the Altima has the most room throughout the cabin.
I got 41 mpg highway at 65-80 mph. That included severl miles of stop and go traffic and also a few stints through small towns. I noticed the steering was very quick and light at highway speeds, needing LOTS of tiny corrections to maintain straight ahead. That was my biggest gripe.
I am thinking of buying one, should I? I drove a rental last week and loved it special the gas .
Thanks for your review, it was very useful information. It helped me recently with my Elantra purchase. Cheers!
Honestly, if they made a car that is aesthetically pleasant, it's already fuel and cost efficient, I would buy Hyundai any day.
I think they will both last a while if you take car of them. I believe that the Genesis has the longer warranty - but I'd probably lean towards the Edge. I love the overall feel, technology and flexibility of it. Let me know what you decide to do.
I never seen review Like this, and I really like it, this is fun to watch and interesting, this is my first time, I want all review must be like this mannn
the car has been pretty reliable. the parts are available here in the states. are you in the US?
Thank you fit this review! Mine is that color and it's a coupe. It has the blue tooth and heated
seats . I love my Elantra yes the only thing I can complain about is the engine weakness on small hills. The rest of the car
is perfect and amazing! Thank You Tony, and please try the coupe! :-)
My 2013 is a giant POS. I've had to replace both front hubs/bearings, struts and strut mounts. I agree, it does show to be a more expensive car than it really is, until you drive it for a few miles. Now I have to figure out why every time I hit a bump on a turn the ass kicks out. This seems to be a standard complaint. I would not suggest this car at all.
+Capt. Cutler thanks for watching my video - I'm sorry to hear about the issues that you've had.
theMediaMart Unless you're the worthless sack that engineered this garbage, no need to apologize! ;) Thanks though.
hehe Capt. Cutler
theMediaMart lmao. fuck that asshole. we love ur vids.
I just bought a GL today!! Can't wait to get it! Had to retire my 1993 VW Jetta :D
I've never seen one rusted out - but I will take your word for it my friend.
I rented an Elantra when my car was in the shop for a few days. Really liked it!!
They also gave me a Dodge Avenger. I DID NOT like the Avenger. Wanted the Elantra back.
The wandering or pulling to one side is due to the EPS(Electric Power Assist) Ths car has Electric Power Assist steering, and it has problems. It causes the car to wander or pull to one side, very noticeable on the highway. it very frustrating and cumbersome to have to keep correcting steering when just trying to go in a straight line down the road. Hyundai knows about this problems, and the NHTSA has an investigation launched. I've had mine back to the dealer twice at only 1700 miles. They tell me the alignment is on spec, wheel balance good. But I pick it up, and it still does the same thing. You are going to have to go over service's head, because they are going to tell you it's fine.
Finally somebody who does great reviews.
Thank you!
nice quick review. I would have to agree with most of your points - what car do you drive?
the car is everywhere here, must be good vehicle
Anyone taller than 5' 10" will have serious lower back pain from this vehicle from lack of room under the steering wheel and in the pedal area. It's pretty bad if you have to actually commute with this car.
Thanks for watching
sorry to hear that you are not happy with the car my friend.
enough to get the job done - I like the Elantra - what do you like?
Uhhm - actually I think that's MORE then enough headroom, my opinion: You felt a bit claustrophobic because of the sloping roof,window's and now that I touched on it - whats rear visibility like?
What would be your personal recommendation for a 2012-2013 Japanese/Korean compact? Thanks.
Good review..keep it up
+Bismark Nshira thank you! Keep pushing play!
really enjoyed info video but why didn't you show the interior of trunk (wanted to see it).
if you drive normally you can get up to 29 mpg in the city, i have gotten 30 mpg in the city and up to 43 on the highway. if you are looking for fuel economy buy a hybrid or a plug in, an elantra is only efficient.
i think it's good on the highway - but you should go and test drive one and let me know what you think!
I didn't notice that. you can't have everything :) Thanks for watching my vid! Tony
You had your Wheaties before this review, Tony. Good job, as usual.
I will and thank you!
Indeed! thanks my friend!
I am planning to by an elantra in april. Im scared to make a bad choice. What i am skared about it is gonna handle and feel in 2 years..... I find hunday making good cars but when i sit in a two or tree years old hyundai, i feel it's getting old... i see the plastics loosing their look.... i don't know... i have to say among every car i tryed it's the most confortable ride but i just want it to feel that way for a while....
I am test driving one of those in a few days, I am excited
Cool. Did you get one?
I jst get mine a 2013 GLS 1.6 last 2 months, I loved it too! Too bad it come without an automatic side mirror and power door lock
Enjoy it! Great little ride!
Very good review , Hyundai has come a long way and they are amazing for the money. I'm just puzzled as to which one you had , it looks like the GLS but it doesn't have the front fog lights. In Canada here it does have the fog lights. It's not the GL .
Man, thats an awesome ride. Too bad, you couldin't keep that vehicle, for yourself for many more joy rides. Also, I think this review was the best one yet, Tony good job keep them up my friend. From your friend, Austin Bullock
I agree! amazing deal! Congrats and enjoy!
Nice video review!
I have one of these for a rental currently, have put 200 miles on it. It looks decent, and is probably great for 90% of the world. Good seats, good electronics package, good interior, some nice usability features. But sides and rear deck are way too tall, engine is uninspired, trans is indecisive and slow to shift, steering is the definition of numb, suspension is far too soft, and its dead quiet inside (Like to hear the engine at least a bit) Can't wait to get my car back.
which option is the car on? like full/mid/low option? and nice review mate (i am going to buy this car in a week)
that's a dar cool sweater that you have! got mine from my kids last Christmas :)
I love your reviews. Your energy and physical humor are great aspects of every review. I also like your "nature breaks". LOL
Before anyone buys this vehicle inspect your bumpers to make sure they match the rest of the car. If you can live with mismatched paint then then the 2013 Elantra is for you.
thanks for your input!
Watched a lot of reviews of new cars and none of them actually mentioned the reliability of the vehicle, all cars are great when its brand new, the real test starts when the warranty is expired
I would give this video a thumb up! Good review! Gonna set goal buy this car this year!
yes - I would agree with you on that comparo
Before you decide to purchase the 2013 Elantra make sure the paint on the bumpers matches the rest of the car. If mismatched paint does not bother you then this is the car for you.
Tony, I question these car's GDI technology and how it's gonna hold up in the long run.
Good review, and well delivered! You have another subscriber.
Thank you!!!
did you buy the car?
I really enjoyed your goofiness, unique and made it interesting
the mpg is bullshit for the elantra 2013. Its over 2000 miles and it declined from 27 to 26 to 25 to 24 to 23 mpgs with every time i take it to the gas station. That was all with eco active on. Now i have it off and will see how much it goes now.
no - the car didn't change - I must have been talking about the front - lots of room in the front. cool car indeed :)
my family owns this beautiful car.. red coloured..
i just bought a 2013 elantra gls with prefered package..i notice that when i refuel my mpgs reset to zero and then go up and down easily but then goes back to average mpgs wich is 30 mps right now is anyone else having this issue with reseting of mgs?
thanks my friend
I'm very interested to buy it....But alot of my friends say its too light on the highways other then that its perfect
Is that True??
I subscribed because your fun to watch.. im torn if im going to buy this or hyundai accent or the toyota vios/yaris in the us.
buy this! the best of all you've mentioned
Thanks Kelly :) keep pushing play!
thanks my friend!
Ur the best car reviewer!! Always tnks c:
The Coupe looks sweet! cool car!
lease it and return it in 3 years :) I hope so :) are you ready to do some car reviews? I get to S FL next Friday!!!
i will try to do the media time stuff again
when are you buying the 87?
EON? is that sold in the US?
It's not Hon-day, Say "Hyundai like Sunday" it was an ad campaign a few years ago...
I'm from new york yo
Good for you lol
are they sold in the US?
Shave boycott...the early days!! Great review!
👍🏽😂
good info thanks!
Very very few car reviews on YT ever touch on vehicle reliability. I suppose people today are more interested in toys and "cool" aesthetics than *actual* quality.
your reviews are great. can you make a review on the 2014 kia cerato (forte) sedan
