6 of 6 people found this review helpful
I drove a 2000 Elantra wagon for the last 10yrs. I loved it so I purchased a 2010 touring. This time I got 5sp Manual GSL to save $1200 on purchase price and to get better gas mileage and performace. Paid $15000 vs $11700 ten yrs earlier. I since added Rosta after market cruise $400 and trailer hitch $100. Heated seats cost $250 each aftermarket. Whats better with my new car. Faster, Handeling, brakes,radio,headroom,gas mileage, power door locks on key fob, storage areas. Whats worse, stiff ride,jerkiness of manual shifting vs automatic,tires, no lumbar support. Both cars dent too easily. I love the rear loading area. I call it my covered pickup truck. Getting use to firm ride. Fun to drive
The commuter with great weekend utility too!

Compared to other brands, the 'extras' like phone integration and navigation are missing, but this car has lots of space for a family (even for adult size passengers in the back seat), and hauling around a hatch full of 'stuff' without giving up economical enough operation to be a great daily commuter. To accomplish this, the engine is smaller than comparable cars on the market- but with manual transmission the ability to say "a little more acceleration please" on the pedals makes up for it by giving precise control to the driver. While it is not a strong contender for "acceleration and speed are everything" driving, the acceleration can be brisk when called for. City driving fuel consumption is not bad, but also nothing special- the long highway drives are where this car shines with several drives over the years averaging around 33-34 mpg with the AC blasting cold air in the cabin all the way. Around the 10-year mark, the moonroof switch started to encounter problems and was cranked closed from behind the control panel and both front windows failed- they rolled down, but stopped rolling up on the front half (the would come up unevenly and bind in a partially open position without someone helping to keep the glass pulled back as the window rolls up). At the end of 12 years with this car, it was reliable, capable and economical - the costliest service needed was replacing the timing belt after about 8 years, and that's pretty normal. Otherwise, it was a solid daily driver until working from home simply made it no longer necessary for our household.

Vivid blue with those wheels!! a combination that our friends really like. I bougth this car for my wife based on my personal experience with a 2001 Elantra and a 2006 Sonata. Engine has a good response, little bit noisy on acelaration but not a cheap noise, just breathing hard, almost the same that my old E 01! Automatic is smoother and I do recommend this option if you have little kids. Rear space is really good but you'll need the net to keep your load in place. Suspension is a little bit hard but remember when yo ask for 17 wheels 215/45 that's the normal feeling. Steering, is electric and feels little bit different than conventional on the HWY, you will love it at the parking lot.
Another Sleeper from Hyundai!!!!

This is my third Hyundai, and our most impressive Hyundai so far. The perfect little Euro-Style hauler for my wife and I, with just enough room for our dog in the back. I love the way it drives and handles, and for the price I don't think you'll find a more feature packed ride. AC, Power Windows and Doors, ESC, Traction Control, ABS, Tire Pressure Monitor, XM Radio, MP3/IPOD plug-in on a base model GLS? It even tells me the outside temperature! Try getting that in any other vehicle! I used Edmunds.com TMV and competing dealership quotes to purchase for $1900 UNDER the invoice price. Best car buying experience of my life. Thanks Edmunds!
Worst Car I Ever Owned In 48 Years Of Driving

I hated this car from day 1. I have had it since new and only has 46,500 miles on it. It pulled to the right. After bringing it back to the dealer 4 times, they kept telling me they aligned it. 7 years later, it still pulls to the right. After driving for more than a 1/2 hr, you feel like you are fighting to keep it on the road and your fingers get numb. Uncomfortable front seats. Horrible suspension and gas mileage is only 27 mpg. Poor in the snow. Electrical system issues with the back up lights (I hit it to come back on) and brake light issues. The moon roof does not work (after 4 years). Extremely uncomfortable ride.
