I have a Elantra GLS that I bought with 40, miles on it 4 years ago, and I'm just about to hit , miles on it. My very first car was a Elantra Limited bought with 90k on it which I traded in a couple of years later since I already had plans on getting a newer vehicle around that time.
I have only had a few issues here and there with my , but nothing bad enough that required me to take it to a shop and spend hundreds, if not thousands of dollars for something that I could've done myself or with my friends help. He's a diesel tech but is always working on everyone else's cars in his spare time, and has helped me diagnose a few problems that ended up being a cheap, easy fix every single time.
The only real concern I've had in the past with my car is the rough idle that my specific model year is notorious for. I've swapped out my spark plugs, all the ignition coils the plugs and coils needed replaced at that point anyways , used fuel cleaner, bought higher quality air filters both for the cabin and engine , changed my driving habits, and now my car is riding better than ever. As long as you keep up with the regular maintenance that is ALWAYS expected when owning a vehicle, and you're smart about how you drive it around, then it will definitely last you a long time.

For anyone looking for a little run around car, a Hyundai Elantra will be great for you. ThePariss answered about a year ago. Well guys, mine is and only has , miles with cero problem.

Wha my great cars! Guru7YCHR answered about a year ago. My Elantra is a I had to be towed twice. The mechanics and dealership were perplexed because they had t seen that issue before. Then a recall for a relay switch came out. The battery cable gets corrosion on it that affected the connection usually in the summer but that is easily fixed when scrubbed off with a toothbrush.
Jerry answered about a year ago. Have had NO issues so far. My car is now idling like smooth butter and has a little better throttle response when I gun it!
Also a trick I learned was to disconnect the battery for a while which makes the computer reset often fixing minor issues just like rebooting your smart phone or computer.
The car also ran better when I did that several months ago. This is a couple items which might improve your smoothness of your engine. It's not a big and there are videos on youtube to show you how.

Jaime answered about a year ago. I have a Elantra GT sport. I've had it 6 years, I am original owner. Regular maintenance. A week ago, the battery died, which was expected at that age. Car ran great for a week after. Now, car engine turns over but will not crank. It's in the shop. I had a 10 year warranty, but the dealership cheated me. They said they "lost the paperwork" bc new owners. Definitely not letting that go, but for now it's with a trusted family friend mechanic.
Before now, zero issues. Hoping to get at least a few more years and for the issue not to cost too awfully much to fix. GuruMKQB2 answered 11 months ago. I'll buyout my elentra sport hopefully with same results. And then, to make matters worse, many of these negligent people automatically assume that the problem lies with the automotive manufacturer, rather than with themselves!
Think of it like human longevity. As the availability of vaccines, life-saving medicines, and advanced surgical techniques have improved, so has the average life span. However, if someone smokes, is a couch potato, and fails to seek medical treatment, he may wind up living only as long as folks from earlier in the century. Ergo—with your car, and with your own body, it is necessary to periodically take steps to ensure long-term well-being.
This particular Elantra has not been maintained properly, and the OP is now paying the price literally for that lax maintenance. Of course, this one might have been. Do you happen to have the service history on this car, especially on the transmission?
There was no service on the transmission prior to when I bought it at 25, miles. The tires were a bit worn at 25, miles and I wonder if the previous owner really beat the car up somehow.
Good mention about the timing belt. The maintenance records show routine maintenance—like oil changes. I had managed to call the previous owner after finding his on maintenance records to ask how he liked the car.
He said he liked it but traded up to a Sonata. I thought the car felt rough and an hour into our trip I noticed that he had the selector in the wrong place. Could that have compromised the transmission early on?
My car is at an independent transmission shop. No service history on the transmission—I bought the car at 25K miles. I think 70k is way too low for a vehicle to be having problems. Driving a car with 70, mile old transmission fluid is a good way to make the transmission misbehave. A Honda Civic? A Toyota Corolla? The Hyundai Elantra has been in the market for the past 30 years and was recently redesigned for the model year. And while you might be reluctant to pick an older model Elantra , you can rest assured that it can last for many years and many more miles.
