Thank you for laugh during this review!

[@femihocquart430]

I love Hyundai cars most especially Elantras they’re incredibly great. I use the Elantra and I have never had any issues with it for once.

[@averageguytested]

Agreed. Thanks for watching 👋🏽

[@jdoasis20]

I just bought this car and I love it so much. I agree with dude all the way. Great review!

[@averageguytested]

Thanks - enjoy the ride!

[@MatisseStLaurent]

Thanks for your review, it was very useful information. It helped me recently with my Elantra purchase. Cheers!

[@usfanlovesminho5085]

I love your reviews. You are not only informative but entertaining as well. The Elantra is a great car with plenty of bang for your buck.

[@averageguytested]

Thank you! Yes - the Elantra is a cool little ride.

[@emeraldtwix]

Thank you! I just got this as my first car! I’m very excited :) I love it already

[@averageguytested]

Awesome!!! Congratulations 👍🏽

[@emeraldtwix]

theMediaMart 😊 thank you

[@Shad0wSpill]

I love my 2013 Elantra! I agree it's a great little car. Awesome gas milage and yes it definitely looks more expensive than it is. Personally I think the handling is very responsive and sharp. Which was the deciding factor between the Sonata and Elantra for me (the Sonata was a little...sluggish feeling?) Maybe it's just me. Great review btw! You really know your stuff.

[@averageguytested]

Thanks! I LOVE the Elantra!

[@infalleeble]

Finally somebody who does great reviews. Thank you!

[@tryteka]

I never seen review Like this, and I really like it, this is fun to watch and interesting, this is my first time, I want all review must be like this mannn

[@kellykirk7058]

I love your reviews. Your energy and physical humor are great aspects of every review. I also like your "nature breaks". LOL

[@HotWins247]

Good review man, my dad just got a used one of these - it’s not bad

[@averageguytested]

Your Dad is the man👍🏽

[@Chieflywaze]

Good review, and well delivered! You have another subscriber.

[@averageguytested]

Thank you!!!

[@zapityzap]

Thanks for the review! May be my next purchase!

[@averageguytested]

Did you get one yet?

[@kokanee112]

you're a natural at reviewing cars. I'm thinking about buying one for running around town. no down payment, 0% financing for 96 months right now.

[@FreakyShirley]

I would give this video a thumb up! Good review! Gonna set goal buy this car this year!

[@umi2366]

Ur the best car reviewer!! Always tnks c:

[@seungyhungy]

great review!! as always

[@muhammadtalhaimtiaz1649]

Hello Tony. This is one of the most honest and the best reviews I have seen. I am torn between Hyundai Elentra (2014) - Toyota Corolla (2014) and Honda Accord 2012 (50000 km). They are about the same price in Dubai. Can you please tell me which one would you suggest i should buy? If you respond soon to this I might save some money because Hyundai has the Elentra at a discount and if i go for that one I would save $1000 on it. Regards, Talha

[@neonnoir9692]

What would be your personal recommendation for a 2012-2013 Japanese/Korean compact? Thanks.

[@averageguytested]

I agree with you 100% thanks for watching and commenting on my video! Tony

[@david__7453]

my family owns this beautiful car and the colour of our car is red.. so beautiful

[@jessi5944]

Good because I'm getting a brand new 2016 model tomorrow and it will be blue. I'm so excited. My first car was handed down, it was a 2005 model. Very old, so I'm ready for my new car! I can't wait to get off of work tomorrow to go get it lol.

[@averageguytested]

+Jessica Lynn awesome!!! let me know how you like the new model!

[@stanlysawicz9317]

+Jessica Lynn I have the 2016 in a black and I love it! :)

[@averageguytested]

right on!

[@ClayMastah344]

I really enjoyed your goofiness, unique and made it interesting

[@averageguytested]

nice quick review. I would have to agree with most of your points - what car do you drive?

[@xdxdxdxd1643]

My 2016 Elantra is the SE value edition. It is Lakeside Blue and has tinted windows, sunroof, push button start, leather wrap stealing wheel. I like the car a lot good for the money.

[@averageguytested]

Sounds like a sweet ride!

[@xdxdxdxd1643]

Thanks, Dude it is really sweat and perfect for a everyday driver. Looks good, great mpg and great warrantees. I prefer buying from Morrie's Hyundai for sweat offers.

[@averageguytested]

👍🏽

[@baluchremedy909]

Great laughs and review. Appreciate it!

[@averageguytested]

Thanks!

[@HALAB2]

I am thinking of buying one, should I? I drove a rental last week and loved it special the gas .

[@austinbullocklive]

Man, thats an awesome ride. Too bad, you couldin't keep that vehicle, for yourself for many more joy rides. Also, I think this review was the best one yet, Tony good job keep them up my friend. From your friend, Austin Bullock

[@dongaboo280]

I am test driving one of those in a few days, I am excited

[@averageguytested]

Cool. Did you get one?

[@averageguytested]

I've never seen one rusted out - but I will take your word for it my friend.

[@averageguytested]

Hyundai is making great strides in reliability. They're solid!

[@averageguytested]

Yes - you have to buy a subscription to keep the service after the initial trail period - but it's well worth it!

[@Austin.D]

You look like Jeff goldblum from Independence Day

[@averageguytested]

Ha ha

[@ShooterAli]

which option is the car on? like full/mid/low option? and nice review mate (i am going to buy this car in a week)

[@fran-gx3kf]

really enjoyed info video but why didn't you show the interior of trunk (wanted to see it).

[@chefjefe68]

You had your Wheaties before this review, Tony. Good job, as usual.

[@hectorrivera2785]

I like your style. Good job! And the car is great...

[@Yansweb]

Haha..!! Hey it was a compliment. I love your reviews. Kind of energetic !! :D Can you do the volkswagen polo 2013 please?

[@zparagasjr]

yOU MADE ME FEEL GOOD ABOUT MY ELANTRA....THANKS Mr. average Guy!!!!

[@averageguytested]

Zoilo Paragas Jr LOVE the Elantra! enjoy it!

[@rickpettry]

Funny he DOSENT own a Hyundai. . Most of these people that rate cars . Spend a short time with them. Sure the Elantra looks great at first but as time goes on it's just a crapy Hyundai. . The Media mart guy told Me he had owned and loved Subaru. .... just saying you really cant rate a car until you have spent time with it. Edmonds rated the Elantra lower than the FOCUS. CIVIC. And the Mazda 3. And complained about the same cheap interior. And poor MPGS. .I drove the new one while my 2012. Was in the shop AGAIN. . And it's the same car. The exact same cheap interior. With a horrible road noise. . The only difference is the motor. And it gets less Mpg than mine.. no offense to the Media Mart Man. But this car is a $ 16,000.00 car. That Hyundai marketed for more than its worth. Hyundai is still trying to copy Honda. So why not just buy a Honda. Honda has the reputation. And it has a higher resale value. . Hyundai has the 100,000 miles warranty. Power train only. The dealer told us we needed to buy a extended warranty for the electrical problems Hyundai has. . Another $2,500.00. Honda doesn't need to give a 100k warranty. Because it a great car. And save the $ 2,500.00 and buy a Honda. Or the new Nissan Senators Rocks. The Subaru has the best comfert. Handling and the highest RESALE VALUE. And the highest Safety Rating. And you get a Bluetooth and back up camera standard. And all wheel drive.

[@rickpettry]

like I said you are entitled to your opinion I will agree my wife's 2008 Elantra is better than my 2012. but you haven't heard road noise until you drive the 2011 to the 2015. same crapy car. I have driven a 2012 , 2013, and a 2015, same freeking car. loud uncomfortable. and no one gets 39.5 MPG'S. that WAS PROVEN IN THE LAWSUITS/ LOOK IT UP. CANADA, KOREA AND THE USA ALL SUED HYUNDAI. THE MOST THEY GOT WAS 38 MPG'S AND THEY USED A HIGHER OCTAINE FULL THAN WE CAN GET. SO UNLESS YOU OWN A 2011 OR NEW YOU HAVE NOTHING TO SAY. HYUNDAI OIS THE SECOND WORST BUILT CAR, NEXT TO A MITSUBISHI. THERE CUSYOMER SERVICE IS CRAP, AS WELL AS THERE WARRNTY. IF YOUR FRONT END CAME LOOSE WITH YOUR FAMILY IN IT YOU WOULD BE PISSED TOO. HYUNDAI NEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND HASNT TOLD ANYONE. HYUNDAI SUCKS HAVE A GREAT DAY

[@rickpettry]

ha ha heee. you make me laugh

[@rickpettry]

palm of hand on face. who cares, what you think.

[@midori81]

I rented & drove this car yesterday. You are right about the steer & material quality of the interior/dashboard. Overall, it's a nice car, but it won't be my top choice.

[@averageguytested]

that's a dar cool sweater that you have! got mine from my kids last Christmas :)

[@averageguytested]

like sunday or monday?

[@averageguytested]

thanks for your input!

[@redneon06]

Thank you fit this review! Mine is that color and it's a coupe. It has the blue tooth and heated seats . I love my Elantra yes the only thing I can complain about is the engine weakness on small hills. The rest of the car is perfect and amazing! Thank You Tony, and please try the coupe! :-)

[@averageguytested]

are they sold in the US?

[@averageguytested]

EON? is that sold in the US?

[@3656761]

I got 41 mpg highway at 65-80 mph. That included severl miles of stop and go traffic and also a few stints through small towns. I noticed the steering was very quick and light at highway speeds, needing LOTS of tiny corrections to maintain straight ahead. That was my biggest gripe.

[@averageguytested]

when are you buying the 87?

[@averageguytested]

I agree! amazing deal! Congrats and enjoy!

[@ferbio]

Just bought this car. Very nice for what you pay for. My HTC One X works well with the bluetooth. I stream pandora through it and it works well(for the most part). I really love this car. I live in Colorado, so I don't use the eco button cause there are so many hills. But still great mileage.

[@averageguytested]

All three are great choices - my favorite would probably be the Cruze - but the Altima has the most room throughout the cabin.

[@pakipinagirl]

I just bought a GL today!! Can't wait to get it! Had to retire my 1993 VW Jetta :D

[@pedrof830]

Tony, I question these car's GDI technology and how it's gonna hold up in the long run.

[@Mr.Worf63]

Very good review , Hyundai has come a long way and they are amazing for the money. I'm just puzzled as to which one you had , it looks like the GLS but it doesn't have the front fog lights. In Canada here it does have the fog lights. It's not the GL .

[@0rcari]

This will be my first car. Spent 10k on 69k miles.

[@averageguytested]

Nice. Enjoy!

[@USCUSCTrojan1]

Purchased a new 2013 Elantra GLS 4 door 6 months ago and love it. I drive 2000 miles per month and haven't had any problems with the car. And on a weekly basis I drive from LA to Bakersfield. Yes, this means driving through the "grapevine" which automatically places me in the severe driving category because of the 4000+ feet of elevation. Want to really test a car? Drive through the grapevine. I average 20mpg going through those high mountains but everywhere else I average at least 35mpg.

[@adriennethierry2051]

your reviews are great. can you make a review on the 2014 kia cerato (forte) sedan

[@sdfan44]

i just bought a 2013 elantra gls with prefered package..i notice that when i refuel my mpgs reset to zero and then go up and down easily but then goes back to average mpgs wich is 30 mps right now is anyone else having this issue with reseting of mgs?

[@averageguytested]

Thanks Kelly :) keep pushing play!

[@houstongarner6541]

Russel Wilson in the future right there

[@averageguytested]

😂😂

[@averageguytested]

the car has been pretty reliable. the parts are available here in the states. are you in the US?

[@averageguytested]

Congrats!! great little car!

[@theodore998]

Uhhm - actually I think that's MORE then enough headroom, my opinion: You felt a bit claustrophobic because of the sloping roof,window's and now that I touched on it - whats rear visibility like?

[@ghinovirata]

I subscribed because your fun to watch.. im torn if im going to buy this or hyundai accent or the toyota vios/yaris in the us.

[@averageguytested]

buy this! the best of all you've mentioned

[@averageguytested]

did you buy the car?

[@averageguytested]

Sweet! Congrats! and enjoy!

[@footballgeng]

Good review..keep it up

[@averageguytested]

+Bismark Nshira thank you! Keep pushing play!

[@ikhosa123]

May I ask how you got such good deal? I am planing on buying this

[@averageguytested]

good stuff! congrats!

[@averageguytested]

good info thanks!

[@adismajor]

hey u now have done 2 review for elantra 2011 and 2013 , tell me y

[@averageguytested]

Indeed! thanks my friend!

[@saudharoonjamali8880]

I'm very interested to buy it....But alot of my friends say its too light on the highways other then that its perfect Is that True??

[@esrvdb88]

Nice video review! I have one of these for a rental currently, have put 200 miles on it. It looks decent, and is probably great for 90% of the world. Good seats, good electronics package, good interior, some nice usability features. But sides and rear deck are way too tall, engine is uninspired, trans is indecisive and slow to shift, steering is the definition of numb, suspension is far too soft, and its dead quiet inside (Like to hear the engine at least a bit) Can't wait to get my car back.

[@averageguytested]

obrigado por assistir meu video! abraços de volta de Nova York!

[@averageguytested]

lease it and return it in 3 years :) I hope so :) are you ready to do some car reviews? I get to S FL next Friday!!!

[@averageguytested]

enough to get the job done - I like the Elantra - what do you like?

[@HumaidHasn]

Do you use vine for making these vids

[@averageguytested]

I think they will both last a while if you take car of them. I believe that the Genesis has the longer warranty - but I'd probably lean towards the Edge. I love the overall feel, technology and flexibility of it. Let me know what you decide to do.

[@averageguytested]

people that are shopping for the 2013 model - want to know about that one. There are subtle changes from year to year.

[@averageguytested]

no worries my friend - the vw polo - don't think that's sold here in the US

[@kaishienooi806]

I jst get mine a 2013 GLS 1.6 last 2 months, I loved it too! Too bad it come without an automatic side mirror and power door lock

[@averageguytested]

Enjoy it! Great little ride!

[@HoldLeadersAccountable]

Nice, I like my 2013 Elantra

[@averageguytested]

thanks my friend!

[@vonversace]

the car is everywhere here, must be good vehicle

[@marcuss5554]

Hey keep it and please do weekly updates again

[@jr2640]

qual é o consumo do carro amigo?

[@averageguytested]

I didn't notice that. you can't have everything :) Thanks for watching my vid! Tony

[@1bboyred1]

did you reveiw the accent?? :D i love hyundai

[@gene978]

In other news! Haha. Hey Tony, glad to see you can still fit in the boot of a automobile as the English would say. ;))

[@averageguytested]

thanks! yes - great value - let me know if you get one!

[@daveincsa]

I rented an Elantra when my car was in the shop for a few days. Really liked it!! They also gave me a Dodge Avenger. I DID NOT like the Avenger. Wanted the Elantra back.

[@FreedomFighters12]

Nice video.

[@averageguytested]

yes - I would agree with you on that comparo

[@averageguytested]

great little car! good luck!

[@averageguytested]

The Coupe looks sweet! cool car!

[@adismajor]

plz review chevy beat and hyundai i40

[@averageguytested]

Thanks! Thumbs up to you!

[@bobfromca92646]

Bought a 2013 Elantra Limited with tech package 7/2013. So far disappointed in gas mileage 20 mpg in town - but still only has 850 miles on it. My wife's car - she doesn't drive it much. Hope mpg improves. other complaints: No spare tire. all trim is plastic (no chrome), speedometer hard to tell accurate speed, goes from 0-160 with 10 mph increments too close together to know if you are going 42 or 48. Should be 0-120 mph in 5 mph increments with more spacing. But, overall, we do love the car.

[@averageguytested]

sweet ride my friend
