I have a 2017 Elantra value edition with 65k miles, oil changes every 5k miles and done all services per Hyundai. No issues and I love the car!
hi do you know how to reset the oil change service light !!
We own a 2014 SEL 1.8L. Cannot complain about a thing. 99k miles and still going strong. Trans shifts like a dream and gets good gas mileage in the road (up to 45mpg). Couldn't be happier.
I have an Elantra 2021! Love the new design and the interior is super sleek. Looks like Hyundai is resolving most of the issues from previous generations.
I bought a 2018 Hyundai Sonata Sport back in May 26, 2019 and I love it sm and almost has 20k miles😁
"Hey Guys", sending you a like from over the river in Cincinnati! Have a couple family members with Elantra's, and they've been great vehicles.
I have a 2018 Elantra bought it with 10.000 miles on it i love it its black and has no bees w.o.w. thank you for the insight glad you enjoy it
Great video man! I love your 2018 Hyundai Elantra it’s holding up very nice!!!!
I just bought a 2018 Hyundai Elantra with 28k miles. I'm so excited for Carvana to deliver it!
What u think of Elantra 4 mm onths layer
What color?
How was your experience with Carvana?
2 years with 68000km no issues . Perfect car..
Thanks for the update. That's crazy about the bees! I've just turned 20,000 miles on my identical 2018 Elantra SEL. I do really love my car, but man it's having issues. The front end was making a creaky noise. Turned out it needed a new front left strut, which was replaced under warranty. Also, more often than not, the engine pings, hesitates, and sometimes acts like it'll stall. From what I've read, the ignition coils are defective. Two local dealerships have been no help with that. The transmission started banging down into 3rd gear when I'd slow down. I could feel and HEAR it. They reflashed the control module (sorry if the wrong terminology) and that resolved the issue. Though the transmission started slamming into 3rd gear upshift when the engine is cold now. I don't have much faith in the longevity of this transmission.
Yikes, I was looking at this car for my friend but man. Those issues are pretty bad for something so new
@@johnconnor2402 it's a shame because it's actually a very nice car for the money, but I definitely don't recommend it because of all of the common reliability problems with this particular generation of Elantra. Having a long warranty with your new car is great, however, it's pretty worthless when the dealership never knows how to fix your car.
Fun review - my first car was a LaSalle (kidding) - it was an Impala just out of warranty that fast became a rolling money pit (heater control jammed full on during August in Florida, etc.,etc.). You’ll be telling your grandkids one day about your bee adventure which they’ll find hilarious!! Nice work, guy!
Thanks for the update guys
This was a very nice review! Keep up the great work!!!
Awesome video! It sucks that the bees are here and smell! I’m glad the car is doing great!😸😻😸
No major issues a good car.
Just keep in mind, if you own a Hyundai Elantra and here a vibrating noise while driving, it is not the suspension, it's the engine mount. Get it fixed it's very easy and not expensive. They wear out easily. I got mines replaced and it runs like new again
Y’all glowed up 😂in a year
Nice review
Bought a 2018 Elantra Sel December 2019. I've driven almost 8,000 miles on it (47,000 total). Zero issues thus far.
What kind of MPGs you getting Alex?
Yes! i miss mason's hyundai elantra after a year!
He sold it recently and bought the new sonata N-line
Great update guys!! The bee infestation is crazy and then to top it off with a horrible odor....Geez!!
Yeah it's like a never ending saga haha
My car (non Hyundai) is a little slow to warm up in the winter. Apparently for my car, the coolant goes to the transmission heat exchanger to help warm the transmission before the heater core.
I really should do a video similar to yours not gonna lie. I purchased mine as a CPO and it has been for the most part a solid, reliable vehicle. There are some things that I did experience: A cylinder misfire, tiny paint chip on the hood, and an exterior trim piece near the front windshield coming off. I'm going onto my second year now, replaced the battery just a few weeks back, and will replace the tires this upcoming state inspection.
My lease with my 2018 is up and i've been considering financing it over going with the 2021 but havent decided yet. Any opinions?
Nice car.
Just got a 2018 elantra ..... I friggin love this car . Had the Tuscon before it ...... when a mid size sedan feels better under ur ass than an SUV , it says alot about the car . Drive one .
I really like the Elantra, too.
I agree the the 2019, 2020 Elantra headlights look ugly.
I actually love the new headlights but that rear... EWWWWWWW
Hope you guys do a review of the 2021 when it hits the streets
Absolutely!
My 2018 hyndai has 49307 miles and no issues.
Friends, please tell me how cold is cold for you. I'm in Québec. So cold is 15 F and below for me. I didn't know there was winter in Kentucky. I always learn a lot watching your videos. Love your reviews. Best of the best.
Thank you! In the mornings, temps are usually 10-20 F during winter on average I'd say
Well... I hate to be the one telling you of bad things to come. Here I go. I own one too. Your transmission is going to fail at 65K miles. The sensors are going to need to be replaced. Very sensitive to any amount of carbon build up. Burns oil starting at that mileage... Trade up or in before you reach 70K miles... Heed my warning. The pistons start slapping at that mileage too... Cannot do anything to prevent it. Don't get me wrong, I love the Elantra.. just get rid of it before 70K miles.
The absolute worst major issue I've had with my 2018 Hyundai Elantra that I bought brand new in July 2018 is the tires I have an SE model with the standard 15 inch steel wheel and Nexium tires the tires only lasted 8000 Miles one tire was already literally separating it was trickery to the eye because to look at the tire and they still look brand new but under closer examination of the tires after they were taking off for balancing it was noticed then. I went from getting 38 miles to the gallon down to 24 miles to the gallon. I try to get the Hyundai dealership Napleton Hyundai to replace the tires under warranty according to my warranty Tire book the car was only 3 years old and the warranty is for 4 years actually technically five but Hyundai refuse to deal with the issue and said I'd have to take it up on my own with the tire manufacturer Nexium I got absolutely nowhere so I went to Goodyear and had Goodyear put four brand new tires on the car called Goodyear Assurance maxlife my car now is getting 42 miles to the gallon. It now drives like a completely different vehicle much more steady and responsive I am really impressed with the new tires and very depressed about the old tires any Tire should last more than 8000 Miles and I find it extremely ridiculous that I had to replace the tires at 8,000 miles even from day one owning the car it had all kinds of vibrations and Wobbles now that I have the new tires on the car I feel none of that. The other problem I'm having is it's very hard to put gas in the car because the gas door always sticks it's not the actual cable rather the latching system within the door itself what should be a simple fix is turning out to be a nightmare the Hyundai dealership refuses to fix the problem or even acknowledge it. I talked to many Hyundai owners and they all have the same complaint about the tires Hyundai loves to use Nexium tires and those are the worst tires I have ever come across and by the way I don't drive crazy I drive usually on smooth roads I have never had the car even on a dirt road. So if you're getting bad gas mileage with your Hyundai make sure you check the tires out just because they look okay doesn't mean they are get them professionally inspected. A personal note I would recommend Goodyear because you'll get nowhere with Hyundai dealerships at least the dealerships here in Florida suck that's one thing for sure. They'll try to charge you over $200 for an oil change $60 for shop rags $130 for wheel balancing. And whether you have an appointment or not you'll probably be at the dealership all day also be aware of their automatic car washes they put dents and scratches in my tailgate even though I told them not to put it through the carwash they did so anyway and and I actually witnessed the carwash because I am very anal retentive when it comes to my car so I walk to the back of the dealership to watch the car goes through and I actually saw the arm of the car wash break and go out of control on my tailgate even though I personally witnessed it screaming to turn the car wash off and reported it to the service manager the service managers response was to call the police because I was causing a scene and said that he would not cover the damage even though they're they themselves did a walk around the car before the car was serviced and their service report itself says there was no damage to the car and now there is. He told me to contact my insurance company and it is not the dealerships problem and the dealership said that I was no longer welcome to come to their dealership and if I did it would be considered trespassing this is the kind of treatment you get at a Hyundai dealership in Florida particularly that of the Napleton name Napleton Hyundai.
I ended up selling my 2018 Elantra SEL after 3 years and 25k miles. Too many major problems, including drivability issues, made it unsafe. I was really disappointed because I loved the car aside from the issues.
It's a good car anyway.🙂
Thanks for letting us know that the 2020 model has CVT transmission. CVT's don't last!
This car & accent is everywhere in Saudi Arabia
Come back to us after 10years ;) is transmission still alive and rod bearings work
I have this car, it is slow to warm up! Is there a reference for that service bulletin you guys are talking about 2:20 ?! I need to get that fixes asap😝
Car companies don't like to talk about service bulletins so we don't have any specific number or anything but if you take it in and explain the issue they should be able to fix it no problem 👍
Hi Guys, what interval do you follow for Elantra's oil and oil filter change? Here in Canada, dealers recommend 6000 kms, which is for severe usage pattern according to the Owner's manual. It's a real pain though.☹
We follow the suggested interval, which in the U.S is 7,500 miles using conventional oil
i had a leaking coolant hose and had the same problem as you with the not heating up interestingly.
my 2018 Value Edition battery needed replacing too
Wheeb I use my mom's Elantra, the freaking passenger seat belt alarm would chime even if there's no passenger! It drives me nuts so I click the seatbelt on all the time now
Mines burning oil like crazy at 110,000 miles.
Only 15k miles in 2 years? Get out there, explore the world. Jeeezus!
We drive other people's cars a lot haha
Test drive oh the Road 1&2 year
Will you be reviewing the 2021 Elantra soon?
As soon as we can!
Useful information guys! Just bought an 18 Elantra SEL. 8kmiles and very pleased. How long did yours sit without driving before the Battery died? I notice onboard computer warns me alot about Battery drain when I'm parked/engine off but listening to music. Also MPG "seems" awesome but have you ever confirmed it's accurate the old fashioned way against the odometer? Our Subaru overstates MPG but I haven't accurately checked the Elantra yet.
Thanks! It was probably a couple weeks but since then it's been fine. We have calculated the fuel economy and the display is a bit optimistic but overall pretty accurate!
Why is Drew holding a chinchilla in his lap?😏😏
Has anyone on here purchased an extended warranty? I just bought 2023 and I’m just wondering if it’s worth it.
Anyone notice a steering wheel rubbing noise on their 2018 elantra?. Sounds like plastic to plastic rubbing noise.
My mom barely drives like you 😂. Her 18 odyssey has only like 13k miles on it so far. Her 06 odyssey had only 80k when we sold it in 18.
I put 2.5 k miles on my car in the last year.
I own a 2018 Elantra the heat doesn’t warm idaling it warms in mins after take off my car has 174,000 miles
174? on a 2018?
Can I have an update any Hyundai owners with a 2017 elantra?
Some complaints have me worried and I want to find out if it’s a very common occurrence?
I have a 2018 and I’ve put 25k on it in a year, haven’t had any problems whatsoever other than hitting a bobcat a few months ago and destroying the front bumper, but insurance took care of that. It’s a great car and it doesn’t have that damn cvt, so it’s got a pretty decent trans in it as well. If you bought it used it’s seriously all about the previous owner. If you buy these with less than 20k on them and keep up with the services stated in the manual, you’ll be good. I’ve ran full synthetic since I bought it, so keep in mind simple maintenance habits go a long way.
15,000 miles? That is not a lot for a two year old car. My Civic is only three months old and already has 4,200 miles.
I thought that was a dog for the first 3 minutes of the video.
Like if you thought he had a dog on his lap for the first half of the video??
What the hell no heated seats, you cheaper out only a rental doesn’t have those
15k, do you not live...?
Under dealer Hyundai warranty...had to be replaced. They did not pay.... Still haven't gotten money for repair or car rental....PLEASE STAY away from hyundai cars.... They aren't customer reliable... Don't.
They make it very hard to fix the problems under warranty. Had to fight and beg to finally fix my transmission that was still under warranty.
Im allergic, Id be screwed
A rebadged Audi! Jk
Dead bees are so disgusting ! 😷
It's just look ugly from all angles
