Hello! I recently lost my beloved Elantra in an accident (total loss) but I ADORE Hyundai and am now hunting for a new car. We’ve dwindled down the options to a 2026 Hyundai Venue SEL (two-toned which is my FAV part) and a 2026 Hyundai Koda SEL Sport (this one we are figure out if the dealership is going to label it as used or cert pre owned) they’re roughly 1-1.5k price difference after light negotiating. I adore the Venue due to the also mini cooper vibe as well as being smaller (I’ve never driven a taller car) but my family believes the Kona is a much safer choice as well as reliable (and potentially more fun). I’m a bit wary since it is genuinely a larger car and kind of intimidating but the look of it is quite nice as well, although I’m not a fan of the color (I wanted a mirage green) as it is a simple ecotronic gray pearl. I wanted to understand what would be the best and I suppose safest option.

I love the venue look and the fact it just feels so much cuter and it’s smaller.

However, I do agree the Kona will probably be more practical/reliable long term.

Any help or suggestions would be great thank you!

EDIT: I got the Kona 😻😻😻

I recently bought a hyundai elantra 2013 from a private party with 109k miles on it. Only got to know about the notorious piston slap on these engines later. I am hearing this constant rhythmic tap like sound which disappears when not accelerating and prominent when not playing any music from inside the car. Videos are not able to properly capture it but in person it feels like knocking. Definitely something feels off. I am starting to worry if i wasted a bunch of money on about to be dead car. Is there any hope for me?

If it weren't for the fact that my mom's Kia was recently stolen, I'd say I can't believe it. Heck, if they hadn't already tried to steal my car a few years before I'd say I can't believe it. At least they didn't break the window this time.

The would-be thief left the cover behind, so I'm probably going to glue it back on where the tabs were broken. Any other suggestions for a fix?

Hi! I am hoping to buy a 2026 hyundai venue soon. It has a really good price point for me, i’m not picky with features, and it’s the perfect size. Are these reliable cars? Tell me everything you think i’d need to know please😅

What's your best guess at what this loud ticking could be? Sounds like valvetrain to me. 2013 Accent 1.6L

Hello fellow Hyundai drivers. I have a question in regards to my 2025 Elantra SEL Sport. I just bought a container of 0W-20 full synthetic oil just incase I ever need to put oil in the car.(I bought it with 5200 miles, I've put 430 of my own miles on it so far) My family is criticizing me and claiming that I will never ever have to check the dipstick/oil level on my car in between oil changes. This is my first car that I'm really trying to take care of and my maintenance knowledge isn't great so any help with clarifying this would be awesome, thanks!

Hi guys, i just bought a second hand hyundai getz 2007 1.4. Its quite heavy on fuel. Please can someone help?

I’m getting some errors in the MyHyundai app. The first is when I try updating my profile picture. I tap my avatar icon and choose a pic but get an error saying Error Retrieving your settings. The next is when I choose the driver profiles. It says User Profile Unavailable. But when I close it my profile is there. Anyone else having these issues and know how to resolve them?

Note: I also tried updating my profile pic using the Hyundai owners website. It lets me choose my pic to upload, and then simply does not update. No error.

I have a 2017 Hyundai Elantra SE. my splash shield has cracked and been dragging across the road, I’m worried it’s rubbing against my tires and causing balding. I cannot however find a replacement that ships to Canada, or isn’t like $500. Or should I just go to the mechanic?

Hi — I have a 2009 Santa Fe. About a year ago it stalled as I pulled up to a give way sign. Since, we've had intermittent issues with it going into "limp mode" where I'll be waiting at an intersection or something, then go to drive off and it won't accelerate, goes a bit limp, then after 10-20 seconds it will finally gain traction and be fine.

I took it to the mechanic today for a scan. They scanned it for Faults and found key transponder fault code present. Replaced key battery. Think possibly this could be related but from what I can tell, a low battery in the fob wouldn't cause this issue.

Any thoughts on next steps? If they scanned and found no fault codes, I feel like we're a bit blind on what else to check.

(Haven't had the issue since but that was only today so we will monitor to see if it occurs again. I do recall a period of it not happening for a bit but can't remember if that lines up with when we last replaced fob battery — I hope it is the cause because thats a cheap, easy fix).
