  • Hey Hyundai Fans! This is a 2016 Elantra SE rental car. This is what we were given after dropping the xB off at the collision center. Instead of keeping this car we decided to upgrade to a full size vehicle after having this Elantra for 1 day and realizing that it was just too small and we needed to have something bigger over the next 2 and a half weeks. When we went to pick up the full size, they didn't have any there so they gave us an SUV for the price of a full size. I'll be posting a video of the SUV we now have in the next couple of days after I wash it. A guess the gauges video of the upgrade will be posted tomorrow night. 7/22/16.

    This is an amazing car. I have this car and have had it for over a year now. Its an amazing car. Especially because of the fact that Hyundai is gaining ground from its fallback in the years past. The warranties that Hyundai Offer are spectacular. America's Best Warranty...

    I have a Black 2016 Elantra SE that I bought new and my car has none of the issues you mentioned in the video. Since its a rental car, my guess is that this car had to have some repairs due to renters of the car abusing it and such. I Even went to check my car after watching this video and it didn't have any of the problems you mentioned in this video.
    Everything feels solid on my car, gets great gas mileage, drives solid, and nothing cosmetically flawed like you pointed out in this video . Hyundai has come a long way and there cars nowadays are a good choice, I love my Elantra. Everyone is entitled to there opinion, now if this car was brand new and fresh off the lot then I would be worried, Haha!

    You did this entire review with a definite bias against Hyundai. We get it, you don't like Hyundai, and you like Toyota. I used to drive this exact car, a 2016 Elantra. The only mismatched body panel that I could see on my car was the passenger side rear door had a very slight wider gap next to the rear panel when compared to the driver side rear door. It was barely noticeable. Before I bought my car, I looked over everything on the car, inside and out and again, that was the only issue I could find.
    Did you ever think that the steering wheel alignment might be due to the fact that this was a rental with 30K miles on it and previous drivers might have beaten the car to hell as the drove it? And the issue with the chrome grille insert making that noise when you tug on it -- I never felt the need to sit there and tug and pull on the grille assembly, I guess I missed out on some sort of twisted ritual. BTW are you going to tell me that if I were to do the same thing to any body assembly piece on a Toyota, that every single assembly piece on the body of all toyotas would not make a screechy noise like the Hyundai grille chrome piece did? Even so, I never had an issue with the chrome grill assembly becoming loose or misaligned on my Elantra.
    Yeah I will agree with you on a few things, the noise the car makes when you use the key fob is just stupid and cheesy, it sounds like a clown car, and the keys that I had with this 2016 Elantra were outdated. The front and rear headroom of this car was also was not the best due to that fluidic body design which Hyundai used for the 5th Gen Elantra. And you're comparing the headroom of this car compared to a Scion XB? Which btw has much more headroom. If you wanted a fair comparison, use the Corolla instead.
    As I mentioned, I had this 2016 Elantra for 83,000 miles, until it was totaled in an accident at the end of 2020 (100% the other driver's fault). As crappy of a car as you would like to make the Elantra out to be, the car did a helluva great job in protecting me in a high speed collision. The 2016 Elantra was also the most reliable car I have driven, much more reliable than a 2007 Mazda 3 which I used to drive, and was a disaster.
    The '16 Elantra was such a good car, I went out and bought a new 2020 Elantra - and btw, after doing a thorough lookover on the entire car before I bought it, there were no misaligned body panels, not even a slight or barely noticeable issue with this. And yes, the headroom of the 6th Gen Elantra is much better than the 5th Gen 2016 model.
    And thanks again for your fair and balanced review.

  • @DeadofWinter321
    @DeadofWinter321 8 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    The alignment isn't the cars fault. Whoever last had the vehicle most likely beat the shit out of it and then the rental company had to take it in to get fixed and the people who did the alignment didn't do it correctly.

    • @Eliyourcarguy

      True. Who knows, it could be that it has never had an alignment.

  • @Mp-iv5wt
    @Mp-iv5wt 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    it’s a harshly used economy rental car what do you expect? also when you complained about the difference between getting into the backseat... the scion xb is a large, square shaped car, this is a compact sedan they can’t be compared in that way. also, in modern day cars bumpers are all made out of plastic so they’re all gonna be flimsy and move a little even if it were a mercedes benz 😐

    I just bought this model in 2022, and no, it's no Sonata. And it's not supposed to be. I'd say your car has been driven to death. I guess if you go pulling on the exterior parts they start to come apart. But who cares about a quality key/fob? Yeah, I think you like to pull things apart, don't ya? What is piano black?

The foglights keep collapsing into the bumper, and don't usually work, both headlights have had to be replaced cause they stopped functioning, the hood doesn't latch properly and neither does the trunk. Btw it has less than 30k on it... It was purchased new too.
