Hyundai Elantra consumer car reviews

Griff, Slovenia

Hyundai Elantra 2006

5 star review

My Elantra is my first Hyundai, and I’m very pleased with it. Once Hyundai, always Hyundai. It’s cheap, fast, economical and offers enough space for four. It’s a little bit loud, but My JVC car stereo is louder... The only mistake are wide range speakers (there should be two ways speakers installed), but they are good enough for normal use, so I bought just two tweeters. I have driven the car for four years and have put about 90000 km on the clock. The average fuel consumption is between 7 and 8l per 100 km (depending on seson). I should change brake pads soon. I’m servicing my car mostly myself, so I haven’t taken it in for a service yet.

Everything is fine and works very smooth. The only problem is that I have no cd player.

5 star review

Excellent car, I have driven 95000 Km and still running trouble free. I have a nice stereo music system but the only problem is I have no MP3, CD and pendrive system.

Keith Peirson, Essex

Hyundai Elantra 2.0 TD Si

5 star review

Excellent motor car almost as big as a Mondeo or Vectra but half the money. I bought a second hand one for under £5k still with the balance of the manufacturers warranty. The 2.0 litre diesel is willing if a little noisy. It transport all in comfort and if driven sensibly returns very good economy. I have driven Hyundai's for 12 years and this is the best. Prone to aqua planing in poor weather but easing off the gas easily corrects. Sensible car for silly money and so far indestrucible.
