I am completely impressed!

I looked at the Elantra because of the low price, and I actually bought one because of everything else! 1st, the car looks great, especially in sleek, shiny Black. It drives as smooth as my Cutlass did & has more room. The real clincher was the Sales Staff, they were not the "evil devils" I had anticipated meeting, they really bent over backwards to make me happy. I ended up getting a car w/more options than I anticipated, the keen Sales Manager noticed some minor paint defects on my 1st choice & gave me the only other Black one on the lot-for the same low price we had agreed on. The warranty, the service, the ride, the price - who knew I'd own a Hyundai!?

What a Great Car! After looking at the competition, this one won Hands Down! Powerful 4cyl engine, full power accessories, Leather!! very comfortable, Great handling, quiet inside, nice sound package, and the AC doesn't have to go past the first notch (In California!). Great design. Fun to Drive. And the Price!! the competition can't touch it.

Was unsure at first about the Hyundai line for when they hit the US shores in the 80's they were "junk" But,after alot of research and asking Hyundai owners i went for it and am very glad i did pretty much i am driving a Saab 900s for half the price! It has run FLAWLESSLY in the past year,I have never gotten below 30MPG and so far am very impressed with it!

What a deal...

I just purchased this car on yesterday. I was really surprise. Considering that I am 6'3', 260 lbs., I had second thoughts about getting another compact car... but this car easied all worries. I am really happy. The leather seats, leg room, hip room, sunroof, and most important cost... I now see how it feels to hit the lottery. Oh yea, deal with the sales internet manager when making the purchase... better deal. I got this car $1,251.00 less than what the TMV on edmunds states, plus $1,500 rebate.

This has been an excellent car, the price and warranty are what got us looking at it initially. We've never owned an import before, but now I'd definitely buy another Hyundai. We get 32-34 mpg in town, 40+ hwy. Gasoline with very high ethanol content does reduce MPG somewhat, but it will do that on any car. The only expense other than regular maintenance items was a battery. Plenty of interior room, upholstery still looks like new. PW, PDL, A/C, power mirrors all standard. Dealership was very determined to keep customers satisfied. We are very pleased with our Hyundai.
