This is my first new car, so my frame of reference may be skewed, but I think the Elantra's overall package is simply unbeatable. The exterior design is slick, the interior is sufficiently functional and solid, and the engine definitely has some kick to it. The one factor that amazed me is the turning stability and turn radius, which nearly equalled my Volvo. I've consistently gotten gas mileage between 29-31 mpg, with only about half of the mileage on the highway.

I'm glad I did my research

I test drove the Elantra last December...compared to the Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra it won hands down. But I hesitated because of poor crash test results re: airbag deployment. I've had my 2002 Elantra for 2 weeks and love the way it handles. My "workhorse" 93 Toyota Camry still runs and looks good but at 190,000 miles it became a second car for my daughter. The Elantra is so much peppier and responsive. I had to get used to sitting a little lower on the road and more road noise. I'm having too much fun playing with the moonroof. CD feature is nice although I don't believe the speaker system compares to Toyota. Still checking gas mileage...with only 2 fills, between 25-28 mpg mostly city driving

Initially I was a skeptic. This was the one car my then-fiance (now husband) reviewed without me, so when he purchased it, without me, I was rather upset and also concern about not knowing much about it. However, since then, I have been amazed at how the Elantra has "handled me". We've since recommended the Hyundai name to many of our friends.

I've had my red Elantra GT for almost a year now. I went from an Accent to an Elantra GT and its amazing how different the vehicles are. Obviously the prices alone are going to make a difference, but for the price, I could not be happier with my car. Not only do I love how it looks externally and internally, it has pretty good pick up. I'm a twenty year old college student and its perfect if you want a mature, good looking car.
