This is a great long distance commuter car. I have 54 k miles on my 2018 value edition with zero problems. Tires and brakes are still in great condition.
Thank you for showing normal cars!!! I like to see things I can actually afford once and a while.
The interior is impressive. Great review. It IS refreshing to see a mid level model test. I am always impressed with the value equation.
James Nardini yep I just bought one , it really has everything you need . I traded my 2014 fusion that had the luxury package , I like this car better
Value Edition not directly injected which is a good thing.
False there’s no difference in the engine unless you get eco or sport which eco they only add a turbo and sport it’s just the way it sounds and a little bit carbon fiber.
Great Vid, as always
Thanks for the review. I might be looking for a car for my mom, her '08 Taurus is getting long in the tooth and she wants something a bit smaller and easier to park.
Love this car
I really really want this car...sometimes I could let loved ones borrow it, as long as nothing occurs. Gotta have it.
I have this car and it has been excellent. I'd rethink letting loved ones borrow it, been there done that. Never felt so disrespected by the way I always got it back, and always with an empty tank. Definitely not a good idea....
I have a 2016 Elantra Value Edition and will probably get another Value Edition when my lease is up at the end of the year. Only feature I miss from my Subaru days (not counting AWD) is the power drivers seat!!! I like everything but leather seats, which are horrible in hot humid NJ summers. Also looking at new Accord but that's another $4000 and not sure if I want to spend more.
Great review of a very reasonable car. I like the styling much better than the Civic or Corolla. I only wish it had an independent rear suspension.
Guess Mazda thinks the torsion beam rear is good enough, since they pulled out their rear independent suspension and put this back there on the new mazda 3 lol.
I just purchased this car and yes it is awesome only thing lacking is the speaker system poor sound but I will be updating them soon enough
Download volume boost to your phone. Make the speakers sound premium.
@@jraheemjefcoat429 I'm seeing so many choices when searching volume boost in play store. Would you share the maker?
Keyless, and two zone ac is standard?
For 17K OTD and a long warranty, this is a great bargain.
I have the elantra 2018 value edition, it comes with 16inch alloy wheels. Can i change to 17 or 18inch without having to change anything?
I agree. Those things are tiny
Is push to start standard for the 2018 hyundai elantra value editions? Or does that cost extra?
PieInTheSky standard, I have this car, very pleased with it.
Nope not extra. push button start is standard on value editions, ecos, sport, and limiteds.
@@katieducky23 I got the GL which doesn't have push button start & I'm glad. I prefer a key ignition system.
I have been kinda beating myself up for not getting the sport for 2k more , but idk I had a fusion 1.5 turbo before I got this car and the economy I noticed did suffer on these smaller engines with turbo . So idk people are claiming great mileage out of the sport , but I still think it gets worse then the 2.0 by at least a few mpg . I have a value edition 2018, and I love the car power is actually ok even with the 2.0 for a economy car it’s not bad . I went into this getting the best value I could for the price while still saving money . I still think the value edition may be the best bang for the buck as far as features , and cost . We will see
Caleb Niederhofer I’m torn. The sport is really tempting my budget is 18-19k out the door. Not easy to get on the sport but it can be done from what I’ve read. Or I can go base engine and save a few thousand for other things
Bryan M honestly as far as value , I got the value edition . It really has everything you need minus leather seats . It’s the the best deal out there for price , and options. Above value you can talk them down , but are still looking at probably 2-2500k difference to get the sport . You can get the manual cheaper , drive both . If your goal is all about saving , money get the value edition . If it’s to get good mileage and have a little fun get the sport. Just keep in mind sport while is more fun to drive , does ride a little stiffer , insurance will cost a little more not much , and tires will cost more . So just factor everything in .
Bryan M one thing I will say , is the Performance out of the 2.0 Elantra is more then fine for commuting. I have no problem doing 80-85 all day and still getting great mileage . My thinking being a car guy , is if I want a sports car I will get a mustang , sti, something like that . I wanted fuel economy , and saving money . I wish I would have got the sport sometimes , but I wouldn’t been getting the mileage I do either.
Caleb Niederhofer I just want brand new this time tired of guessing with used cars but don’t have a big budget and the value seems like a happy medium of everything I want. What type of deal were you able to negotiate out the door on yours? I know they have various rebates/cash back throughout the year.
Bryan M around 18k walk out here is about what you are looking at . Don’t go in though call around get prices , then go in don’t play games tell them you want walk out price on the phone.
I just bought a 2018 Value Edition, they do not include power seats. I wish it did.
Adam Zolciak yea I agree , but it’s a killer bargain for what all you get in the value package for 1k more then the sel . It’s like a completely different car , the push button leather wrapped steering wheel , proximity senser lighted led daytime lights , sunroof .
Adam Zolciak that's weird. I have a 17 value edition and it does have power seats
Brenda Mendoza 18s don’t
Brenda Mendoza they replaced the power seats with rear disc breaks .
+Caleb
If that's true then I'd say that's a worthwhile trade.
We just bought ours march 10 and the car suddenly wont even start.
Hi I just bought mine 2018 Value Edition yesterday, can you please expand or provide an update so I know what to expect. I appreciate your help
@@aishataviator How is your car holding up, I've had mine for about 10 months & put 10,000 miles on it so far. Though during the summer I have coming up I expect to put around 10,000 miles in a mere 2 months.
I'm getting a fully loaded Elantra Limited for just $19,499. If you bought the value edition for $21,000, you got ripped off.
Our nearest Hyundai dealer is advertising $18,9K for a new 2018 value edition. I have noticed that Hyundai offers rebates of $1K-3K every few months off the $21K list price.
That’s my exact car. Lol
I had the Corolla VE
it came with nothing.
You want a cookie?!
it did not even come with one.
you got the engine wrong, its not a general direct injection, its old school dohc ...refined though,still great engine....baffles me why they didnt include a GDI when it comes with the new Accent standard
Thank God they didn't include a GDI engine! I don't need an extra 20 horse power, the engine is powerful enough. Also I would prefer reliability over carbon build up & expensive fuel injectors to clean & replace. More companies should ditch their GDI engines for port injected ones. If you want a sporty car get a Mazda 3, people get the Elantra because of practicality. Not every car needs to be a sports car, this is an economy car that should last a long time & Hyundai did a great job with this engine.
Port injected, timing chain, Atkinson cycle, engine compartmentalization, cut outs in the skid panel; they literately designed this entire car for reliability & ease of maintenance. I have never owned a car with such a simple yet effective engine. Complexity is the breeding ground of problems, simplicity promotes an environment of reliability. I'm only on my first year of ownership though from the more than extensive research I've put into this car & it's mechanics I can say without a doubt that it will be reliable as a whole. I understand Hyundai has a bad rep from their 2013 Elantras though there was nothing wrong with that engine. That was an issue in manufacturing which lead to the metal shavings & was isolated to engines produced in America. Also after that incident you can be guaranteed that they will never allow for anything like it to happen again. Similar as to how Samsung had to recall all Galaxy Note 7's, people still believe Samsung has battery issues though they put more research & development into their batteries than any manufacturer now & have absurdly extensive quality control checks in place so they don't repeat the same issue.
@@leozero_ you are absolutely correct. I have 58.000 miles on my 17 now, 0 problems, 0 issues. Nice car, I like it very much. Had 6 miles on it at purchase, they rack up pretty quickly lol
Paid 16,000 for a 2018 Elantra value edition with 10k miles. Talk about a steal
@Sinon Khoun I paid $14K for it brand new lol. $19,000 CAD & it was suppose to be a demo but they ran out of demo's or something so just gave me a new one. 50 kilometers on it.
@Sinon Khoun I wonder, so many people seem to get "great" deals on these cars. Are they really great or does Hyundai say the price is $20,000 but sell them for like $16,000 so we think we're getting a deal? If so it's extremely effective.
I went with a 2018 Elantra SEL. just because I do not trust the push button starting. Thieves can steal your car by copying your fob signal. Excellent car otherwise!
I bought my 2014 completely on not the CVT transmission!!! Like on the Honda , stay away from CVT transmission
Absolutely!!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😘😘😘
Kia/Hyundai, now an Audi sub brand ???
+Bong Lim No. Kia and Hyundai still give their cars genuine exhaust tips ;)
Bong Lim uh...no
TestDrivenTV :)))
They hired a guy that worked for Audi
I hate that they dropped the power seats!!! Makes me want to buy an Accord now!!!
I'm also looking at the new Kona too.... my doctor has a new Sonata and hates it! His wife has a new Accord and he may trade his Sonata for an Accord too! Hyundai needs to get out of their bubble and compete with the big boys at Toyota and Honda.
@@Steve_in_NJ dont think I'd have a Dr who drove a sonata, must not have a lot of patients lol.
Sam, I value your professional opinion on cars because you seem to have a sensible perspective. You don't compare a sub-$20k Hyundai to a $50k Mercedes, citing it's not as good a car in comparison, like some other auto critics. I bought a 2018 Elantra SEL and I'm extremely happy with it so far. All the competition I looked at was either much more expensive or flat-out crap, in terms of customer satisfaction. The Elantra seemed like the sweet spot in this segment between price and overall quality.
if your going too buy not lease u have too go with Hyundai 5 yr bumper too bumper its a no brainer!
My 17 is almost at 60.000 miles, bumper to bumper will expire, that's the bad news, good news is it's been absolutely flawless. 0 issues, Never needed it. As original owner, I still have power train warranty to 100.000 miles.
