Used 2012 Hyundai Elantra for Sale near Moncton, NB

Aviod 2013 models. Aviod 2011-2012 models made in alabama. 2011-2012 models are O.K. if they are made in korea. 2.0 liter GDI engines should be avioded because some high pressure fuel pumps leak and they are on top of the engine and could start a fire. 1.8 liter engines could have piston slap creating noise and poor gas mileage, because they did not deburr the cylinders on some engines, wearing the pistons out. When you start the engine cold and hear a noise like a hand knocking on a table that is rod knock, avoid those elantras because on some engines they did not clean the oil passages from metal shavings before they assembled the engine. 2014-2016 elantras are good from my experience. A relative has had 2 2015 elantras one had 180,000 miles before it got totalled, and the one she has now has 214,000 on it. Hope this helps.

The 2012 hyundai elantra is a very well rounded car, it offers a lot of value for money and turns heads on the streets. The engine provides plenty of punch and consumes fuel miserly. However it also has it own share of flaws like low headroom for both front and rear seats.

I love this car! I've had it for about 1.5 years, and I haven't had any troubles with her. I get great gas mileage, enjoy the ride, the seats are comfy, and it fits all of my luggage when I travvel. I live on the road 40% of the time, so that's important to me.

Great appearance, with good fit and finish. Hyundai has come a long way in the Elantra's design and appeal over the last four model years. The build quality on the vehicle is good; However, the quality of each individual component is another issue entirely. Hyundai's warranty and service has thus far been absolutely unbeatable, and I do not use that word accidentally. UNBEATABLE. This car performs well among competitors in its class, but road noise in the 2011 and 2012 model years is downright excessive. Additionally, the thickness of the exterior body panels on the Elantra have always been less than that of other auto manufactures, and that continues to be the case through the 2015 model year. This exposes the vehicle to significantly more dents, dings and paint damage than one would expect, and it truly is a nuisance. As of this review, the vehicle has been to the dealer for warranty work and repair 9 times, not including normal maintenance visits, with a mileage reading of 21, 900 miles. The costs of those repairs is non-existent (no charge) under the Elantra's generous warranty. However, this has significantly affected my opinion of the vehicle, as the mileage and age of the vehicle would suggest a much more hassle-free ownership experience. I can honestly say that I love this vehicle, and HOPE to get ten dependable years of service with approximately 100,000 miles of reliable transportation. However, I would not recommend purchase of the Elantra to friends and family. Ever. Based on my ownership experience thus far, I fear that my expectations of this model are far reaching and unlikely to be attained.

All the articles I read before buying this vehicle summed it up accurately; the overall handling of the Elantra is out of its class. It has the smoothest most comfortable ride and good turning radius. Also, the fuel economy is stingy at 40mpg with the "ECO" button active. While you are saving dollars at the pump, you won't be winning any races, though.
