    I am Korean. This is my car. The Korean name is a 'Avantte'. I bought this car recently, sure it was used car. I am very satisfied. This is my first car. so I searched this car english review. Hyundai make elantra or avantte on a moto of 'super normal'. Because this car is in side of cheap price and small size. so many young man in korea buy this car as their first car. Hyundai is a korea company. I proud of this brand.

    I have a 2016 Elantra Value Edition. I love the car. It gets about 10-12 mpg more than my 2019 Kia Rio. The only thing that I hate is the keyless fob. It is far too sensitive Way too many times I have had it in a pants pocket and sat down only to have the trunk pop open or the alarm go off While on vacation, I lost a laptop and a camera from the trunk because the lid popped open while I sat in a restaurant. I have had coworkers tell me that the trunk is open or the alarm is sounding when I sit at my desk s inside the building.

    I know I’ve already commented about Genesis but I’m excited to see you guys (hopefully) start doing reviews of them. Also the Elantra has been rather impressive, and i do have a bias towards Honda since my mom has had an ‘08 Pilot since ‘09 and then gave it to me last year. Btw I’m 16 so it’s been our family for literally half my life right now

    Not a bad first car. My first car was a 1985 Chrysler Laser Turbo that I bought in 2000. The car talked to you, "Your key is in the ignition". Stuff like that. Of course, being a 16 year old the most popular thing it said was "your fuel level is low". It was a good car but nothing like this. Congrats and good review as always.

    • @CarConfections

    if anyone who owns it and reading this in 2023? please give me an advice if I should remove or renew catalyst. 60k mileage, running smooth. Some people ( in my country) say that it falls apart and ceramic dust causes immediate scuffing.

    So that trim doesn’t have a DCT? How is the behavior of the automatic transmission in that one? Does it have smart cruise control or just regular?

    • @CarConfections
      @CarConfections  6 років тому +3

      The regular 6-speed automatic is smooth and shifts quickly. On the lower trims you have regular cruise control and the upper ones adaptive cruise

    GOOD review, I have 31000 miles on my 17 SE with popular and tech packages.Shale gray, two tone silver interior. 0 problems or issues. Very happy with it. You did make one error, the glove box IS dampened. Look on the right when box is open, you'll see the damper arm attached. ENJOY YOUR NEW CAR!

    2017 Hyundai Elantra 32k. All maintennace done at Hyundai.
    1) the car's fuel economy is 10% less than what the on board computer states.
    2) the NU motors have know issues that haven't been corrected. Piston slap, shrapnel in oil pan, randomly throwing rods.
    3) suspension parts prematurely failing.
    4) steering issues.
    5) even if your car is covered by warranty/recalls Hyundai of america will fight tooth and nail before they repair anything. They told me piston slap is normal on these cars. Piston slap will cause your engine to fail, it could happen in 10 miles or it could be in 110k miles.

    @kerriestemniski210 6 років тому +2

    No offense, But for only $1000 more, why did you not just get the Value edition and get So Many more features. Just confused because I see you mostly film the High end trims and you bought a low end trim and I am not offensing you and you cant really go wrong with a low end trim.

    • @CarConfections
      @CarConfections  6 років тому +2

      Haha, no that's a good question! I would've gotten the Value Edition, but they didn't have the white/beige color scheme I wanted. And the reason my brother and I film the highest end models is so we can show you all the features possible :)
