I recently just crashed my car into a tree head on. This cars air bags did not deploy. The insurance adjuster could not believe it. I was lucky that I was not hurt. This car has a huge crumple zone which is good I guess. I loved my car and I serviced this car every 3000 miles. Good car but I don't think the security of having 6 airs bags should make you feel safe. If I could include pics I would you would not believe the damage this car suffered in a 30 mph crash.
Best Car Purchase Yet

We purchased our little "Hunni" in December and absolutely love this car. It's quiet on the highway (very little "4-cylinder engine noise" - if you've owned a 4-cylinder you know what I mean), hugs the road, great turning radius, etc. It is the nicest "small car" we've owned or even driven to date (we're well into our 40's so have been around a few blocks!). We test drove this gem and both fell in love with it.
Impressed after a week.

It has many standard features that are options on the other comparable sedans, an unbeatable warranty and a great price. It's my new automatic Regata blue Elantra SE and I love it! It has great handling and gives me a comfortable quiet ride. I averaged 30 mpg on the dealer's tank which is pretty good in hilly VT. I bought it relying on this web site not knowing that Consumer Reports had rated it one of his top picks of 2008. I'll try to post again in a few months. Peace.
Bang for the buck!

I have almost 18,000 miles on the car now and not one problem. Have done oil changes every 3000 miles. Rides nice, is quiet, gets 32mpg. My Smart car gets 39-44. The Elantra rides better too! Great warranty. All things considered a truly great car.
Great Value for the Money

I have always bought new vehicles and driven them between 250-300,000 miles. After exhaustive research which included talking to other Elantra owners I purchased one. I got a tremendous deal out the door including financing for about 15k(on an SE not GLS). On the last trip at 75 mph with the air on, a full load of passengers and full trunk I got 34 mpg. This wasn't based on the trip computer, it was the old fashioned way of calculating.Mixed driving 29 mpg. After 20,000 miles I am thoroughly convinced that this is the best deal out there. I test drove all the other cars in the class and sure some are peppier or handle better but if you are looking for best bang for you buck, here it is.
