This is your last chance to buy a manual hot hatch or any kind of car without too much intrusive "safety" features. These cars are not longer… Read more
available in overseas markets (thanks EU), so get one soon. Ours took months to arrive, but we were in no hurry. The handling is superb, it goes into corners like it wants to. In the wet, miles better than our 4WD SUV. The Michelins must be the trick. We were able to minimise the intrusive bings, bongs and ding-dongs that come with most new cars. The latest Korean cars being truly awful. Download the firmware update directly from Korean website. Fuel economy is excellent. Noise level is OK. Performance is fine but not convinced about the claimed 0-100, for example. Do not buy this car to drag automatic cars at the lights. You may win, but I'm not sure what a clutch assembly costs. The ride is very hard and the mechanical front differential tends to make the car twitchy, even on what appears to be a flat road. Part of the experience. With the back seats folded, no problem with baggage. Build quality is fine, I am not that picky. Some point out the thin paint and the panel gaps. The car is built in Turkey and there will be some compromises. But, pretty good. Our car is white, not a fan of the "cyan". There are a lot of gimmicks with which to play and our son and grandson who have an identical car think that's great. Us, not so much.

discoloured twice, they were replaced by Hyundai under warranty the 1st time but not the 2nd time. Boot struts starting to fail plus now the boot button won't work so now I can't open the boot. I have to fold the back seats down crawl into the boot & use a screwdriver to slide a lever to the right that unlocks the boot but at the same time I have to pust the boot up with 1 hand. Clear coat starting to peal off on the rear spoiler plus above the boot button & on the painted plastic inserts between the roof & the front doors. Hyundai won't repair or replace anything.

Rollin in my Hyundai Elantra SE – This vehicle is very reliable and sporty. It has great acceleration and good on fuel. I was very impressed with the low noise in the interior when… Read more
the windows are up. I thought it would be noisy since it’s close to the ground. AC/Heat feels good . Very affordable. It is enough room to seat 4 people comfortably and maybe a small child in the rear seat. Pop open trunk and fuel cap. The best feature is you can use personal IPhones to play music, movies and news. Cruise control.

I kept it for 13 years, but only because things kept breaking and had to be fixed to sell. Great mileage but that is about it. Terrible view through… Read more
the windscreen, vision obstructed on both sides, very dangerous. Air conditioning compressor was leaking oil 7th year, no warranty, which the dealer charged $150 to tell me what I already knew. I replaced it twice! $1200 each time by auto electrician, same fault. Window switch failed. Radio has a built in design fault where the sound drops out over time and then there is none, replaced radio. Notchy steering. Noisy engine when cold - everyone must have heard about the ledgendary Hyundai engine problems. This car was driven very little and modestly serviced by dealer up to year 5, then by authorised mechanic 6 monthly from then on, final odo about 61000km Never again!
