How reliable are the newer Hyundai Elantras really?
How reliable are the newer Hyundai Elantras really?
I'm looking at a new Elantra because it's pretty much the cheapest new car option I can find that still has decent features and a good warranty.
To be completely honest, I'm broke and this is a huge purchase for me. I need something that can realistically last 10+ years. I plan to be very strict with maintenance, oil changes, transmission service, and everything else recommended in the owner's manual.
I've always heard mixed things about Hyundai reliability. Some people say the newer ones are great, while others say they still wouldn't trust one long term.
For those who own a 2021+ Elantra:
- How many miles do you have?
- Any major repairs or issues?
- Would you trust it to reach 150k–200k miles?
- If you had to buy again and money was tight, would you still choose the Elantra?
Looking for honest long-term ownership experiences, both good and bad.
P.s I only care about reliability really can compromise in all other features and comfort lol
