Hi, I am approaching 30K on my 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition and was wondering if its wise to replace ATF fluid when I do my 30K maintenance? Thank you Michael in NJ

I own a 2017 Elantra and NEVER used the radio once. I like silence when driving.

Hi, With the current generation 2019 model of the Honda Civic lineup (except for the LX trim) now all turbo, GDI and CVT, will this generation last nearly as long WITHOUT major issues and rock solid reliability as the older models with NO turbo, port injection and standard traditional...

Thanks guys, I came into the shop with 5 qts of Pennzoil Platinum 5W-20 and the Hyundai Elantra. I specifically told the shop owner to tell his tech to be sure to fill with 4.25 quarts. The tech was right there and understood, yet he still went ahead and filled with 4.75 quarts!

Ok, thanks.

Hi, I took my 2017 Hyundai Elantra Value Edition in for an oil/filter change and brought them my own oil and Hyundai filter. i specifically told the owner to fill with 4.25 quarts, but the mechanic used 4.75 quarts. It is a major issue where I should have the extra oil drained. Can this...

Tire Rack recommends the FIRST rotation with new tires at around 3,000 miles. They claim the most wear happens initially, than go to 5,000-6,000 mile rotation thereafter. Any thoughts on their recommendation?

Hi, I changed my oil/filter today on my 2017 Hyundai Elantra 2.0 and slightly overfilled by a tad over 1/4 quart. The capacity is 4.23 quarts. Can this cause issues or damage and should I drain, or leave it and its fine?? Thanks Michael in NJ

Looks great....from a distance. Any spider webbing or swirling in direct sunlight yet? It's inevitable with black cars!

Hi, I was rear-ended by a crazy immature teenage girl who was texting. I just got my car back from auto body shop with new rear bumper and trunk lid. I was told I can gently hand wash now, BUT I should wait 6-8 weeks before a wax or sealant should be applied because the paint needs to fully...

I too own a 2017 Elantra Value Edition, in the "Mineral Beige" color. I have 14,200 miles and it very nice. My one BIG complaint though is the painfully slow heater on cold winter days! I read that this has been a issue and dont know it I can deal with it for another cold winter! If the heating...

How about on my 2017 Elantra? Its port injection NON tubro. But I just have 14,100 miles on it.

I own a 2017 Elantra Value Edition, in the Mineral Beige color for 14 months now and the paint appears perfect to my eyes. No swirling at all or marring. But than again beige is a VERY easy color to maintain looking great and swirl free!

We all know here the endless talk of the warning with direct injection engines and the risks of carbon deposits and the possible maintenance costs associated with cleaning them. To what extend that is true, who knows. BUT, with that said, is the service of carbon cleaning for a port injected...

I am talking about people who own just one car and call it their "daily driver."

This so called "daily driver" term that EVERYONE on car forums seemed to be using all the time is downright comical! Isn't like 99% percent of cars daily drivers?? I just find it funny and completely over used term.

Hi, With the NEW 2019 Honda Insight hybrid set to be released this summer, I am wondering what the average battery life will be? Is it the life of the car, or will there be some HUGE replacement expense 1/2 half way through its life? I am very intrigued by its more conservative, cleaned up look...

tig1, Wow! Your 2017 Fusion has 47K already??

My 2017 Elantra has a moonroof and I can honestly say I never used it once in the one year I have owned it so far. Just opened and closed it the day I took delivery to make sure it worked.
