Great car, very few issues.
I have had a great experience with almost every aspect of this car, it was relatively affordable, comfortable, and gets great gas mileage. There are only 2 issues I feel are relevant to bring up:
If you live in an area that regularly gets below freezing temps in winter, your gas mileage will drop during the cold months. It was not a significant amount, but dropping from 54mpg to 45 mpg is noticeable.
The other issue, which was a bigger issue for me, was that there isn't a spare tire mounting location, the space for the spare tire in the non hybrid elantra was given to the hybrid drive system's battery. This was something I didn't realize until I needed the spare, and now drive most of the time with a spare taking some space in the trunk.
