2016 Hyundai Elantra Consumer Reviews

Overall, super stoked with the performance from my Hyundai hatchback. The interior features that it does have were well thought out (heated seats, easy to use bluetooth connection). Some finishes are cheaper (the gear shift definitely looks aged) but that's expected with a budget car. No major mechanical fixes so far, and the manual is fun to drive.

I have had this vehicle since it was new. Very minimal maintenance compared to other vehicles I have had. Rides well, Gas mileage is amazing. 23+ city, 32+ highway. When the engine was new that was5marginally higher. 26 city, 34 hwy. Originally they claimed I would get 40 hwy, and it just never got there, I would guess because of it's heavy body. That's ok though, as it has pretty much maintained a MPG 14 years later and is a very reliable car to own. I would buy this car again in a heartbeat. This unit was Mfd in S. Korea, and has much thicker steel than my husbands 2017 model, and may be why the MPG is less than his. His 2017 gets 28 city, 41 hwy easily. The original paint job on this vehicle is AMAZING, i don't have to wax, it stays shiny with a good wash. The body has resisted rust on areas that have small scratches. The stability of the ride is above average, and the pep upon acceleration is just amazing.

Bought the car used with 76,000 miles on it at 101,000 miles. The transmission went at about 105,000. I got a really bad stalling issue on the freeway which made it very dangerous as it could cause a serious car accident with loss of power the mechanics tried to do a tuneup on it and that didn’t work another mechanic looked at it and said you need an engine. It’s got low compression.

I bought a week ago, love my vehicle..

I owned the 2016 Hyundai Elantra Sport trim, and overall, it was a great car—stylish, fun to drive, and practical. I really loved the manual transmission and heated seats, which made it a joy in all seasons. However, I did experience an issue with the speakers struggling to work properly in cold weather. Unfortunately, what started as a great car turned into a massive disappointment. The engine burned through over 4 quarts of oil in less than 5,000 miles without any warning or signs of trouble. It ran fine until we suddenly heard engine knock, yet there was no check engine light. We had to tow the car to avoid worsening the damage, but by the time the repair shop inspected it, it was too late. They added oil and tested the engine, but it shut itself off—indicating severe damage. What made it even more frustrating is that we had just invested in new tires, brake pads, rotors, and had replaced a faulty brake caliper, thinking the car was in great shape. The only repair options were to rebuild or replace the engine, both of which were too costly for us, so we had to scrap the car. This was heartbreaking, especially because we had only owned it for a little over a year and relied on it heavily as a family. On top of that, we found out that our insurance company had blacklisted the car model because it’s known for being a high theft risk, which made insurance premiums significantly higher. While we are incredibly disappointed with the car’s failure, we’ve learned our lesson to check the oil more often in the future, as that was also a mistake on our part. It was a huge emotional and financial loss for us, and unfortunately, we will not be returning to Hyundai for our next car.

Bought new in '13. Drove home health. Lots of miles. Only mechanical issue Ive had to fix besides regular maintenance, tires, battery, filters etc was a cam sensor. Thats it!! Still runs great. Looks great. No peeling paint. No rips in interior. Has 198,000 miles. Probably will replace shocks struts soon. No knocks, burning oil.... nothing. BEST CAR IVE EVER OWNED. I'm 54 and had lots of vehicles but this one has been the most economical and reliable of all of them and all makes. Still gets 32mpg combined highway and town. Highway is about 38 on low side and as much as 45 mpg on interstate. Highly recommend. I just retired it over to my 16-year-old daughter with the talk that this car is my baby. Take care of it. Im driving a Chevy 2500Hd WT and I want my little Elantra back lol. Good buy. Reliable little car.

Car runs great color black power windows. Great radio anc cd player small dent right passenger side

The car still runs like a champ, but few things they could have done better: 1) the driver visor has fallen apart and junk yards can't keep them in stock ($300 to order visor + $ to install; 2) exterior paint on passenger side on door handle totally faded (I have seen it on others).
