I love it when reviewers review normal cars

[Kishan]

just got this as my first car, absolutely love it

[CyberAbyss]

I purchased this car. Love it for a commuter car. I commute 3.5-4 hours a couple of days a week. I had the 55 mpg Ioniq but it was not comfortable. This car is comfortable and a great daily driver, averaging 39.5 mpg in my first week. I'm still building trust with the lane keep assist. It works pretty good. I feel far less stressed out, no back pain and far less fatigue at the end of my drives. :-)

I had one of these as a rental, it was a lower trim but it looked and felt amazing for what it is, with this car you get a lot of bang for your buck, I can't believe a sub compact car has all of these features. I would recommend this over a Corolla.

The 2021 Elantra is a huge step up from this.

I have a 2013 limited and everything still looks like new. People think it’s a fairly new vehicle. I just say nah. It’s a 2013. Lol. 129, 000 miles on it. Good cars.

[giftedplanksify]

I got the exact same car. I am spoiled whenever I take it out for a drive 🎉🎉

[HealthyCriticism]

man you are plowing through those icy roads. Having driven in them for 3 years in Iowa it makes me clench lmao

[TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

Props to Hyundai for making a pretty good continuously variable transmission~ I've never driven a car with a CVT, only torque converter automatics, but this one seems pretty good.

I bought a used 2019 base SE for dirt cheap since it was high miles and a 6 speed manual as my first car. 5 months in and it's been very efficient and reliable without problems

[MrRazorYTB]

The new one looks good, but I think the last gen looked way better

I bought a certified used 2020 Value Edition 2.0 in 2023. One owner. Well maintained. 47, 700 miles. I'm very impressed with its comfort and functionality. The buttons and knobs are very well labeled too. The steering is pretty good too, except for a tiny bit of over steer. I'm very impressed with the steering wheel's response after making a turn by rotating back. The CVT gives me great mileage, but causes some lack in acceleration from a complete stop. The tech found in the interior is my style seeing I like the advantage of interior technology but rather keep it practical.
My only 2 complaints so far are the design of the front bumper and the visibility out the rear windshield. I already had to get the front bumper replaced due to 2 cracks that occurred on those triangular shapes after slightly nudging a parking block. Even though the car comes standard with a backup camera, I find the angle of the rear windshield to cause a limited amount of rear view while driving.

I own a 2017 Elantra Limited, and I worked for a Hyundai dealer for a short time over the summer - these cars are unbeatable for the price. My 2017 Limited makes me feel like I'm driving a car that's a class above, and even the new 2020 bare bones SE trims are outstanding cars - well equipped, built well, and fun to drive. Transporting the 2020's and taking short drives in them, I was floored finding out they were CVT's! Under low speeds/stress you cannot tell the difference, they are smooth & responsive transmissions. Honestly, anyone looking for affordable, reliable transportation should look no further - and definitely shop around to see if you can find any 2019's left this time of year (we had crazy rebates on them over the summer, I can only imagine the kind of deals you could get now!)

[DoSumMe]

Alot of people dont like the front end of the new Elantra, but I really like it. - would love to buy a sport model in a year or so.

[acerusea]

Props to Hyundai for keeping the true handbrake

[sterlingnewsome]

I'm like this guy is going to hit a ice spot driving fast like that wet streets

[AngelaNicolexo]

Just got the 2020 Elantra in red! Sel Version. Runs great so far! I think it’s a cute affordable car 🚘

[JakeDrives]

I have a 2020 Kona with the DCT and the that CVT is SO lackluster by comparison. It seems sooo smooth in normal driving but it falls apart the second you want to go anywhere. You were ragging on that little car, I was cracking up. Nice commuter car, really not meant to be pushed at all. Love these first impressions vids, thank you!

[neoman]

Quite like the look of this.. Interior reminds me a little of the Seat Leon

[BlueWolf]

Man, your video work gets better every time. Keep it up!
