The Elantra does not get 40MPG highway. Check out that data on the website 'fuelly'. Consumer watchdog has sent a letter to president Obama and to the EPA stating that you car does worse that what the EPA tests reveal, and Chevy Cruze consistently does better than what it's EPA values are. Both the Elantra and Cruze are 33MPG combined).
The Cruze gets an average of 28% better mileage than the Elantra.
Stop lying please. My mother got an Elantra, always in Eco mode, can't get more than 25MPG
That was a rather awesomely detailed review dude. I wish more car reviews were done this way. I felt like I was in the car, outside the car, tried almost every feature and also test-drove it... all by watching your video. Now I feel really hungry to get it... Thanks man =)
i really like this car. my friend has one and i think its great. but i find it a bit noisy and it seems like when the car shifts gears, there is a certain pause like its not sure what gear to go into. it seems like it hesitates. then again with a 4 cyl it needs to rev higher in lower gears. overall tho, i do like the car. like u said, its VERY roomy. my friend is 6 foot 3 and he fits in the backseat perfectly.
very nice review! I think this car is a very appropriate in it's class. I have mazda 3 which I like, but this time, hyundai set new standart level, well done.
However, how would you define the reliability and interior quality in this car?
i drag raced an elantra exactly as this one... i won XD... anyways.. i kept staring the elantra i was racing cuz.. it is really beautiful in black... id buy it :P
The reviewer says his is a 2011 Hyundai Elantra GLS with the Preferred Package and the Nav package (his also had the rearview camera).
I just got back from test driving the 2012 Elantra Limited, and I asked the dealer if the Limited came with cloth seats (to which he said no), and also if the GLS has a Nav package/rear cam, and he also said no to that :S
I want a GLS, but don't want to pay an additional 3000$ to get the Limited only for the rear camera / nav.
@iecanonfire No. The i40 is really in it's own class. It has the interior of the 2012 Azera(Grandeur), exterior of the 2011 Elantra and slightly smaller dimensions than the Sonata.
so when are you supposed to shift up or down on the shiftronic? and when do you not supposed shift? please anwser this question anyone soon because i am thinking about getting this, hyundai sonata, or the kia optima soon and i really want to know when and when not to shift up or down on the shiftronic. thank you. :)
Great review! Very thorough, detailed, and comprehensive! I guess you could be a more "relaxed" but it didn't diminish the review presentation at all!
I got a real kick out of the multiple references to the "rear backup camera". Be a heck of a thing if it had a "front' backup camera"! Put the car in reverse and the screen shows you a view out the front of the car! LOL!!!
I'm jealous of you guys down south, up here in Canada, I just paid all-in 26k for a GL with some accessories and other goodies :O Can't believe for the same amount I could have had a Limited edition.
Finally someone that gives a detailed review of cars instead of the 'blink and you'll miss it' that you get from others. Job well done my friend. I'd love to see you review some of the cars we get here in the UK like the Ford Focus/Fiesta, Jaguar XF and XJ, BMW, VW Golf/Jetta etc. Keep up the good work.
Hey, just wanted to mention the vanity lights. VWs have had that same design going back over a decade, others followed. Same slide mirror with the light on the ceiling. But as soon as the mirror is opened, it creates a circuit that illuminates the light...further even if the mirror is left open and the visor shut, it still shuts off the light as the circuit is closed...VW does it the more costly/sophisticated way w/ no physical switch like this car. Another cheap cost cutting measure by Hyundai.
Just this past weekend I signed the paperwork for a 2011 Hyundai Elantra GLS "White". Though they are trucking the car from out of province (due to me selecting the particular color & model) I hope to have it by the end of the week.
I have both driven and looked over the car and looked over many reviews online before I decided to run with this car & today I just seen your review which just has me even more eager to get a hold of the car!!
@Jakeman2164 They offer the Azera, Genesis Coupe, Santa Fe, and Genesis luxury sedan in V6s. The Sonata comes with an optional 2.0 liter turbo straight 4 with 274hp.
@saabkyle04 Hi, quick question, I went to the dealer and what I dont understand is why are the new 2011 models selling for the same price as the 2012 models? I mean this car just came out 6 weeks ago and the 2012 Elantra is already out, I was negotiating the 2011 model assuming there would be a discount considering its no loner the current year Elantra and it wasn't even negotiable whatsoever. Why mark up the prices the same for both years when people will obviously opt for the 2012 model??
@saabkyle04 Wrong answer. You should've told this guy to go fuck himself, right after he makes his own "relaxed" car review videos...so that some other asshole can then tell him why he sucks balls as soon as he begins posting them.
The civic is in the class of it's own. It's mainly a low cost sort of racing appearance car intend for college. The hand rest is a complete copy of the civics with the spring and the shape. I have to say the Elantra sure has more leg room.
I like the new style but I don't think a Korean piece of shit deserves a 17 minute review, but that's just me. Overall pretty cool but try it on something classier, like a Bentley.
@NavyAviation2016 I used to think of them as "piece of shit" before too and they were. You may want to check a new Hyundai or Kia out now though because they seem to do better on styling, build quality and standard feature than Toyota, Honda or Nissan. I can't believe how much Toyota has fallen and Hyundai has risen.
@Xboxlivemgear bro in the US and CANADA hyundai sells these type of cars but to the rest of the world they re still selling the usual crap, they just want to give you an image of trust, just google hyundai atos or hyundai verna 2011, and you will agree with me, and for the record im not canadian, just live here.
@PAPO9609 They only sell the old models in india now.I'm seeing a lot of new hyundais on the road now in my region.I drive a hyundai too.Hyundai is getting better these days.
@Bomchilaka you got india right, and they still sell those cheap ass models in mexico, south america, china, turkey,greece, egypt, bangladesh, malasya etc. HYUNDAI is the same old crappy brand that it was when it started.
I kind of agree with you but not in every point you mention. It´s true Hyundai sell outdated and cheap ass models like the Atos, H100 and Verna (an earlier generation Hyundai Accent), but lets face the truth: all those countries you mention are still in development and a lot of people living there don´t have enough resources to get a Sonata or Genesis. They just want a cheap reliable car. Nissan, VW, Toyota, GM, Ford and other brands do the same selling cheap cars in those countries.
Well considering the average age of those designs they aren´t exactly cheap considering here in Mexico a 20 yr old platform with no security equipment Nissan Tsuru is selling for the same price than a cheaply Brazilian made but fresh VW Gol. The problem is most of those countries don´t have any standard when security or emissions are concerned (unfortunately here is the same). So those cars will exist as long as there is lack of laws in our countries.
BTW: I wouldn´t say every VW or Nissan are of much higher quality. Comparing to what? A 2011 Sentra which has a cheaply made interior full of hard plastics? And rear drum brakes and non independent rear suspension. A shame in its segment. The same goes for the new Jetta which falls short compared to the last generation. Also the so called Tsuru (an earlier generation Sentra), very reliable but an insult to the market. Upper models of both brands are very good though
@Xboxlivemgear bro in the US and CANADA hyundai sells these type of cars but to the rest of the world they re still selling the usual crap, they just want to give you an image of trust, just google hyundai atos or hyundai verna 2011, and you will agree with me, and for the record im not canadian, just live here.
@PAPO9609 well clearly, i cant b as dumb as badgesnobs lyk u, who doesnt even know how much things hav changed over the past decades. u should open ur eyes and stop attacking thing you've never tried b4.
@Xboxlivemgear yeah but still, they make the same crap but with more style if you will, and GM? yeah GM its pretty shitty too, personally I hate GM the most.
@parky1020 look at this model and the rest, they look like cars made for sisies, really chrysler?? man have you seen the 2011 models? of dodge jeep and chrysler?? wtf are you saying!
@PAPO9609 everyone agrees dat cars from chrysler r bunch of overpriced pieces of craps, theres a reason y they failed. and u r saying hyundai is cars made 4 sissies, well look at u, u muscular macho man. i got no time 4 this dumbass argument, my point is, dat chrysler may look good outside, but they r filled with outdated technologies from daimler and cheap plastics n even build quality is totally fked up
hyundai, its may not b very desirable car to choose, but its reliable and economical.
Excellent, intelligent, well-written review. I'm amused by the negative review criticizing you for being biased, and then going on a biased, unsubstantiated, anti-Hyundai rant. Consider their command of the English language, and there's not much credibility. What makes a noisy engine is subjective. Always call things the way YOU see them. If all reviews said the same thing, there would be no reason to view more than one. It would be kind of like inbreeding! Great job and very informative.
Hmmm... The engine in this Elantra sounds similar to the Beta II SULEV in my 2003 Hyundai Elantra GT. The pro for this engine is that it comes with a timing chain and not the timing belts found on the Beta II which needs to be changed every 60,000 ULEV or 105,000 miled SULEV. Kyle, don't worry about these negative comments and criticism from people on here because you are doing a great job if even though you are still in the learning process. I wish you the best on your success of auto reviews.
hey kyle i was wondering if you have any plans on reviewing Volkswagen GTI or Mitusibhi Lancer Evo. I know you already did a video on Lancer Evo, but the video was kind of ruined by pollens and the wind lol. BTW GREAT WORK KYLE KEEP IT UP !!!
Hey Kyle I was wondering if you had any plans on reviewing a Mitsubishi Lancer anytime soon. I'm really interesting in the GTS and the RalliArt Editions. You are my new go to guy when it comes to car reviews. Plus I'm a NC boy, so in each video, I find myself trying to guess where exactly in the state you are. lol. Awesome job.
Hyundai Biased REVIEW! This is a REVIEW! point out the Cons and Pros. Pro: Nothing! Cons: Its a Hyundai! It's Ugly as hell in person and on the Road It's trying to hard Styling will get old! Crappy Resale Value People will laugh at you driving a Hyundai!
Owning a Hyundai is like Owning a CHEAP KNOCK OFF! Yea it may sound all good. But you know Hyundai isn't really telling you things. Come on The exterior is REALLY REALLY UGLY! Hyundai just copies other cars! they don't have original design. You're so called "Elantra" is a Sonata in a smaller and much much uglier package. Really!!! 40mpg LMFAO! what a joke. Don't listen to those EPA so called MPG for Elantra. Real world results isn't going to be 40mpg.
During your introduction, good dialogue. However don't sway so much. Forces your camera person to follow you around. Or just zoom out. The car is the focus of the video so you'd want to zoom out anyway imho.
Kyle this was simply amazing. I'd say your best review ever. Keep it up your commentary is great! Just from this video I'm now a fan of the new elantra!
I kind of like the old style better. It was like you just took control of their eyes, and guided them around the features that you thought was best of the car. This one, you just left it up for the consumer to decide the pros and cons, which, I have to tell you the truth, some people like being told what to think. But I'm not saying this style video is bad though.
Nice work as always Kyle, but I don't usually find reviews that praise a car endlessly to be very helpful. Surely, there have to be some shortcomings, or car and driver would not have placed this midpack in a recent comparo. Just something to think about!
Hyundai came from a long way from laughing stock to challenging Nissan,Honda and Toyota for the best imports. Now I'm a big Hyundai fan.GO HYUNDAII!!!
your not an hollywood actor like a lot of reviewers are, but you sure did a great job doing what your supposed to do, reviewing the car inside and out thoroughly
@saabkyle04 Used to have an 86 Century with the muffler delete option better known as Michigan winter. aside from rust that car was unkillable, I believe we let it got with just north of 400,000 miles on the clock.
@JayConstant09 Hahaha old Detroit iron was the absolute best in terms of reliability. They never looked the part, espeically in the 80's but they would never complain no matter what.
@Wolfdale11 Yeah it is very light, it's great for normal tight cornering and city driving, but doesn't provide a ton of drivers feedback for those more into the sport handling cars, depends on what you're looking for in a car
If he notices that you have to push hard for the horn))) to work or if difficult to see out of mirrors on cars I would like him to mention it. I like how he told about the steering on this car
@ratmtbola I want to let you and the rest of the people out there know this, no hyundai isn't paying me,I am doing once a week reviews to supplement a magazine in charlotte I'm working for now. I like hyundai, I'm sorry if some people don't understand that but I gave my opinions,you and others may have different. It's a review for a reason I told you all everything I knew about the car just about and tried my best to do something I've always dreamed of doing.I would appreciate your understanding
I never honestly thought that you were paid by Hyundai. I just wanted to point out that, in some parts, you sound a bit biased. Which I can totally understand, since you own a Hyundai. But I think it would be better for you, or rather for your videos, if you tried to be a bit more neutral sometimes. But that doesn't mean that you have to become a boring and dull reviewer like everyone else, because that's what sets you appart from others and makes you better.
@ratmtbola Anytime man thanks for all the suggestions. I probably may have gotten carried away a bit haha but I will change the format to me more like what I usually do and not so "reviewish" next week I will be doing the new GMC sierra HD denali and have a couple ideas. See, I am not usually bias, it may come across like that if I really like a car but everyone's like that in a way :P but for these I will take that advice and adapt them to my normal style, soon it should be a perfect format!
Quedó excelente el nuevo formato. Felicitaciones

The civic is in the class of it's own. It's mainly a low cost sort of racing appearance car intend for college. The hand rest is a complete copy of the civics with the spring and the shape. I have to say the Elantra sure has more leg room.

I like the new style but I don't think a Korean piece of shit deserves a 17 minute review, but that's just me. Overall pretty cool but try it on something classier, like a Bentley.

@NavyAviation2016 I used to think of them as "piece of shit" before too and they were. You may want to check a new Hyundai or Kia out now though because they seem to do better on styling, build quality and standard feature than Toyota, Honda or Nissan. I can't believe how much Toyota has fallen and Hyundai has risen.

@PAPO9609
I kind of agree with you but not in every point you mention. It´s true Hyundai sell outdated and cheap ass models like the Atos, H100 and Verna (an earlier generation Hyundai Accent), but lets face the truth: all those countries you mention are still in development and a lot of people living there don´t have enough resources to get a Sonata or Genesis. They just want a cheap reliable car. Nissan, VW, Toyota, GM, Ford and other brands do the same selling cheap cars in those countries.
luisinhoens90 10 months ago
@luisinhoens90 youre right but the cars are meant to be cheap but theyre still bad in those standards, VW or nissan is much higher quality.
PAPO9609 10 months ago
@PAPO9609
Well considering the average age of those designs they aren´t exactly cheap considering here in Mexico a 20 yr old platform with no security equipment Nissan Tsuru is selling for the same price than a cheaply Brazilian made but fresh VW Gol. The problem is most of those countries don´t have any standard when security or emissions are concerned (unfortunately here is the same). So those cars will exist as long as there is lack of laws in our countries.
luisinhoens90 10 months ago
@PAPO9609
BTW: I wouldn´t say every VW or Nissan are of much higher quality. Comparing to what? A 2011 Sentra which has a cheaply made interior full of hard plastics? And rear drum brakes and non independent rear suspension. A shame in its segment. The same goes for the new Jetta which falls short compared to the last generation. Also the so called Tsuru (an earlier generation Sentra), very reliable but an insult to the market. Upper models of both brands are very good though

Excellent, intelligent, well-written review. I'm amused by the negative review criticizing you for being biased, and then going on a biased, unsubstantiated, anti-Hyundai rant. Consider their command of the English language, and there's not much credibility. What makes a noisy engine is subjective. Always call things the way YOU see them. If all reviews said the same thing, there would be no reason to view more than one. It would be kind of like inbreeding! Great job and very informative.

Hmmm... The engine in this Elantra sounds similar to the Beta II SULEV in my 2003 Hyundai Elantra GT. The pro for this engine is that it comes with a timing chain and not the timing belts found on the Beta II which needs to be changed every 60,000 ULEV or 105,000 miled SULEV. Kyle, don't worry about these negative comments and criticism from people on here because you are doing a great job if even though you are still in the learning process. I wish you the best on your success of auto reviews.

Owning a Hyundai is like Owning a CHEAP KNOCK OFF! Yea it may sound all good. But you know Hyundai isn't really telling you things. Come on The exterior is REALLY REALLY UGLY! Hyundai just copies other cars! they don't have original design. You're so called "Elantra" is a Sonata in a smaller and much much uglier package. Really!!! 40mpg LMFAO! what a joke. Don't listen to those EPA so called MPG for Elantra. Real world results isn't going to be 40mpg.

During your introduction, good dialogue. However don't sway so much. Forces your camera person to follow you around. Or just zoom out. The car is the focus of the video so you'd want to zoom out anyway imho.

I kind of like the old style better. It was like you just took control of their eyes, and guided them around the features that you thought was best of the car. This one, you just left it up for the consumer to decide the pros and cons, which, I have to tell you the truth, some people like being told what to think. But I'm not saying this style video is bad though.

Nice work as always Kyle, but I don't usually find reviews that praise a car endlessly to be very helpful. Surely, there have to be some shortcomings, or car and driver would not have placed this midpack in a recent comparo. Just something to think about!

@ratmtbola I want to let you and the rest of the people out there know this, no hyundai isn't paying me,I am doing once a week reviews to supplement a magazine in charlotte I'm working for now. I like hyundai, I'm sorry if some people don't understand that but I gave my opinions,you and others may have different. It's a review for a reason I told you all everything I knew about the car just about and tried my best to do something I've always dreamed of doing.I would appreciate your understanding
saabkyle04 11 months ago
@saabkyle04 Thanks for the reply.
I never honestly thought that you were paid by Hyundai. I just wanted to point out that, in some parts, you sound a bit biased. Which I can totally understand, since you own a Hyundai. But I think it would be better for you, or rather for your videos, if you tried to be a bit more neutral sometimes. But that doesn't mean that you have to become a boring and dull reviewer like everyone else, because that's what sets you appart from others and makes you better.

@ratmtbola Anytime man thanks for all the suggestions. I probably may have gotten carried away a bit haha but I will change the format to me more like what I usually do and not so "reviewish" next week I will be doing the new GMC sierra HD denali and have a couple ideas. See, I am not usually bias, it may come across like that if I really like a car but everyone's like that in a way :P but for these I will take that advice and adapt them to my normal style, soon it should be a perfect format!
