CarComplaints.com Notes: Be aware that there's a significant trend of owners complaining that the Elantra's fuel economy is significantly less than the EPA estimates.
today, picked up a used 2012 Hyundai Limited with 36000 miles, for an overnight test drive. CPO, so still on warranty. Wife and I really like the car, except for a very annoying and concerning grinding noise from the front passenger wheel in all but the lightest of braking. This forum was very helpful to see that it's a common problem, and makes me consider avoiding Hyundai altogether (had a Honda in the past and was very satisfied... should probably stick with Honda....) The only way I will consider buying this car is if the dealer agrees to replace the pads AND rotors with brand new.
