I have just bought the car but, I can already tell it was a great decision. I am getting almost 40 miles to the gallon and the car is great. It has great acceleration for the small engine and is very fun to drive. Hyundai also sticks true to their warranty, I noticed a little plastic button that was broken on the back hatch and they took car of it in minutes without question.

My little go-cart

This was like a go-cart because of it's size and power. A 1.4L is a weak engine, but I assure you it has pickup and I would whip this car around. I drove it hard, but not crazy. No major problems with anything though I have broke both door handles by pulling on them the wrong way. Regular oil changes and sensible (not conservative) driving have me at 92000 miles. I can tell the car is on it's way out though. There is a hole somewhere in the exhaust and I just have this feeling that a bunch of things are about to be worn out. Great buy, great car for 8k. Would definitely buy a Hyundai again, it's just simply worth the money (no headaches at 92000)

I've had the car for three months and it has performed flawlessly. It is very comfortable to drive, with good power and lots of features that are standard. I test drove a Honda Civic and Toyotta Corolla before I made my purchase, but neither beat the Elantra. This is a quality car, which for the price, people should run to buy.

This car is a great value. Mine has every option available and I paid only $10,000. It is not an excellent car in any respect, but the quality of materials and workmanship is quit good. I will absolutly consider buying another Hyundai.

GREAT car for the price!

I owned 3 Honda Civics before trying out the Accent. "Pleasantly surprised" would be an understatement. I can't imagine a better car for the price. It's loaded with more features than I would have ever expected. It's really peppy and runs like a champ (so far!). The Hyundai warranty is what sold me...if they are willing to stand by their products, I was willing to give it a try. I'm glad I did. Terrific around town car and even good for longer hauls. A great 2nd family car (I have a Hyundai Santa Fe to do the real family hauling).
