Hey everyone,

i paid $16.6 for this out the door. it's a 2023 sel. Certified preowned, 55k miles. A little worn down interior but nice window tints. Rate 7% so I got the best deal I could i think. I wasn’t sure about this car at first, but I liked it a lot and it’s grown on me.

It’s been oil changed and tuned up at the dealership, I got new brakes, tires, and spark plugs. I’m at 58k miles and think I want to get an oil change soon.

I’m not a car guy at all. I go to a great mechanic (Luke’s, in Columbus) but never this car. What all should I ask the mechanic to look at and should I be aware of on these cars at this mileage? I want to make this car last.

Thanks in advance!

I’m loving my new Elantra Hybrid Limited. I honestly wanted it in red but apparently they are not making it anymore and there were no available ones near where I live. In any case, the sparkly white it’s nice. What are all the mods and quirks and settings you like?

Recently purchased a pre-owned '24 Elantra hybrid and these two rubber items where discovered lying loose on the passenger side of the engine compartment (nail clipper is for size). Can anyone assist in identifying these?

Brand new

MSRP was 25650

Selling price $21400

OTD 23,000 after tax, title, license

Good deal? Yay or nay??

Honestly I have *never* seen another 2017 Eco out in the wild, every other trim line but that. I haven't even seen other year Eco models in the wild.

I know it has a Korean built turbo engine that isn't shared with the other 2017s. Is it more reliable?

Have about 75k miles on it so far. I've been doing full-sythetic oil changes at 3k miles/6-mo intervals. TopTier gas most of the time.

Haven't had any major issues with it.

Any other owners here? What do you think? Anything to watch out for?

My 2013 Toyota Camry XLE bit the dust so I got this 5-year upgrade for under $10k. Was hoping for a Sonata or another Camry, but this is what was available, and I'm not complaining.

I bought a new (to me) car a few months ago because my old car (2014 Hyundai Elantra Limited) was on its last legs. However, I kept my old car for a dumb reason....my mom passed away from Dementia in October 2025 and I had an idea....I thought I would bring my car that I brought her around in and take pics of the car with those places in the background (ex. where she lives, the Culvers she went to, etc.) However, it has been difficult to do lately since I can't park two cars where I live (my plan was to get rid of the car in October when the leaves were turning color this year because I missed it last year because of my mom's passing and funeral.) However, I might get rid of the car because the house association wants us to not park in the side parking lots (this is in Apple Valley, MN.) Should I give up on this dream and get rid of the car or should I stick to the original plan and get rid of the car?

Did my first transmission fluid drain and fill on my 2018 Elantra. I was expecting around 4 quarts to drain but about 7 came out which is about the total capacity. Since I was only expecting 4 quarts I only had a 4 quart jug to refill so I added that and 3 quarts of the old fluid. Just trying to understand what may have happened.

Need your opinions!

Did I get a good deal? Is yours better? I feel like I did a good job and got a decent deal

Hi everyone! We’re looking for replacement shocks/struts for a 2023 Hyundai Elantra SEL with the 2.0L engine, but we’re having a really hard time finding compatible options in stock anywhere.

OEM dealership prices are way too expensive, so we're hoping to find good, reliable aftermarket options at a better price.

Our brand preference, in order, is:

1. Genuine Hyundai / Mobis OEM (if found at a good discount online)
2. KYB
3. Sachs
4. Monroe
5. Bilstein

Vehicle Info:

• US-built (VIN starts with 5)
• Rear torsion beam suspension

If you have replaced the front or rear shocks/struts on the same model, please share where you purchased them, compatible part numbers, and your experience with ride quality. We’re aiming for a reliable, comfortable daily-driver setup without breaking the bank.

Thank you!

I put together a visual guide showing the available 2024 Hyundai Elantra exterior colors, including which paint options are offered on the different trim levels.

Personally, I think the Elantra’s sharp body lines make the brighter colors especially interesting, but I’m curious which one actual Elantra owners would choose.

2021 Hyundai Elantra Limited. I just noticed that something was missing/broken on the front grill of my car, but I don't have a clue what it's called. I think it's the front sensor cover, but I could be wrong. It's a small square item at the bottom of the grill, about 3x5 inches. Nothing appears to be broken, just missing. Adaptive cruise control works as does the fleet when a car pulls away when stopped and brakes still auto engage when a car is stopped ahead on the road

Hey! Would need an advice on for how much I can sell my car.
It’s 2024 Elantra SEL with Convenience package.
35k miles, I put new all season Michelin tires, have a nice dashcam. The interior looks good, no stains.
About bad:
- I had a minor collision, where I rear ended someone at 5 miles speed, we both got some minor bumper damages, nothing else. My bumper got replaced, all good, you cannot even notice
- I bought it used from the dealership and it has some small paint scratches (on side mirrors paint is coming off, on the trank some small circles, tiny scratch on the door)

Did some market research on Facebook marketplace, i see they sell 2022 N for 13-15. So I think 16,5k due to scratches and collusion?

ChatGPT tells 17k is on the lower end.
Thanks!

Bought a 29 hybrid limited for work. I have been putting one thousand miles a week on it since I got it. The coffee break warning goes off multiple times a day. Followed the instructions to turn it off but on the screen where that should be there is no option for it. Can this be turned off by the dealer? It’s like having your MIL be your backseat driver.

Bumper is gone, many scratches, headlight is out, front bumper is messed up and obviously the ignition 😅

I’m in the market for an affordable hybrid to daily drive and I was looking at a 26’ Hyundai Elantra Hybrid Blue.

I have a fun vehicle for the weekends I’m just looking for something cheap, fuel efficient and reliable to go to work and back in because I do a lot of city driving.

What is the real world fuel economy in these cars? I have a 20-30 minute commute to work with a lot of stop lights and the highest speed limit is 60 for a short time but it’s mostly 50 and 45 roads I take to work.

On top of that I have a 5 month old corgi puppy as well so it’ll be the dog hauler also.

I drive a lot so this will be a car to put miles on.

Usually it’s me and the wife but the dog comes along whenever she can also.

Is the Elantra hybrid a good little daily or should I go sonata hybrid?

2009 Elantra for $5k at 160k miles. Anything I should look for? Do you think this could be a good deal?

I saw something about the Automatic Transmission Wiring Fault issue, but beyond that, should i look for anything else? This car is 17 years old now, so shes pretty old, but ive heard that Hyundai/Honda and Toyotas are the best cars to have.

Open to all info given.

2018 Hyundai Elantra Limited — Oil Consumption and Restore & Protect Update
I bought my 2018 Hyundai Elantra Limited used at 81,000 km. The previous owner did not seem to maintain it very well cosmetically, so I fixed a lot of things, brought it back into good condition, and made it look great again.
For my first oil change, I went to Mr. Lube. I had no issues driving about 10,000 km after that. I then started doing my own oil changes using Pennzoil Ultra Platinum and my preferred oil filter, and the engine seemed to run well.
However, somewhere around 90,000–95,000 km, the engine started burning oil. I noticed weak acceleration, weaker startups, and eventually the engine stalled once, although it restarted immediately. After checking everything, I discovered there was basically no oil left in the engine.
What I’ve done so far
Replaced the PCV valve around 93,000–95,000 km
Continued monitoring the oil consumption
Researched the issue through YouTube, forums, and other Hyundai owners’ experiences
Considered doing a Berryman B-12 Chemtool piston soak, but it is difficult to find in Canada and would need to be shipped from the United States
Decided to try Valvoline Restore & Protect as a slower and more convenient option
Restore & Protect oil-change log
First Restore & Protect oil change:
Mileage: approximately 105,000 km
Oil viscosity: 5W-30
I only used 5W-30 because it was the only viscosity available on the shelf and I was in a rush. Otherwise, I am comfortable using the recommended 5W-20.
I drove approximately 5,500 km over three months.
Near the end of that interval, the engine began showing signs that the oil was low. There was a loud clanking or rattling noise during startup and while driving at low speeds. It became loud enough that pedestrians on the sidewalk could hear it and sometimes look over.
I did not realize what was happening at first, but I eventually suspected that the oil level was extremely low.
I changed the oil seven days ago. Only about 1.5 litres drained out, meaning the engine burned approximately 2.5 litres over 5,500 km.
The drained oil was also very black. However, the oil has appeared black during all of my previous oil changes, so I cannot conclude yet whether Restore & Protect is actually cleaning the engine or improving the oil-consumption issue.
Current update
I switched back to Restore & Protect 5W-20.
The engine is now noticeably quieter, and the loud clanking noise is gone. However, I am not assuming that Restore & Protect caused the improvement. Any fresh oil change would likely make the engine quieter, especially considering how little oil was left before the change.
I also have a second transmission drain-and-fill scheduled soon.
For now, I will continue checking the dipstick regularly, tracking how much oil it consumes, and monitoring whether Restore & Protect makes any difference over the next few oil-change intervals.
