I just purchased this car yesterday an i couldn't be happier with my choice. After looking and looking over every car manufacturers website and reading reviews and safety ratings an every possible angle, i decided on the Elantra SE.The gas mileage was above an beyond what the sticker says. I got 41MPG on a 60 mile highway trip, on a 50/50 combo of city/hghwy i got 33mpg. the extra options of the SE are well worth the extra money, especially safety features (A/C,Cruise,ESC,Brake assist). XM radio is nice also. If i had an extra 10,000 dollars to buy a car, id still get the exact same car, no doubt! plenty of storage spaces, fun to drive ZOOM ZOOM THIS ONE MAZDA!!! Hyundai is going places...
Solid, Quality Car

I bought the Elantra after my Chrysler Sebring coupe was flooded and died. This is my first new car and I love it. I've only had one problem involving a slow leak in a tire caused by a nail, which the dealership replaced for free (even though it was not their problem). I drive about 32 miles round-trip for my daily commute in Boston traffic, and my gas mileage still averages 30-34 mpg. It took a while to get used to the V4 engine, but it really moves great once you get up to speed. Unlike my Sebring, I can now have people sit in my backseat of my Elantra. As with any major purchase, research the seller and the product before you buy and there should be no issues.
Worth More Than They Sell Them For!!!

I've spent over a year looking to buy a new car. I needed something reliable, safe, and economical. This car has it all in spades! It's unheard of to have stability control in a car at this price. And it's a blast to drive. It has WAY more torque than the civic so it really moves when you hit the gas! Feels like it has way more horsepower too. And it steers with a perfect mix of feedback and ease.
Not too shabby

Pros- I have yet to find any defective cosmetic/operational problem with this car.The ride is better and the road noise is much less than the new Honda EX Civic that my wife just purchased. Cons- Sluggish steering, around 30 mph the transmission should down shift to a lower gear but refuses to and you will get this engine strain noise & sometimes I manually down shift the transmission in city driving to get it out of its misery. Summary- This is the best value out there if you are keeping a car for a few years. You can't wrong considering the options you get for the money. I would not have purchased this car if I had intended on trading in a year or two as one would take a bath.
going good

I bought this car in July and drove it 1200 mile from Chicago to Houston getting 32 mpg. Was fast on the highway. Its cozy inside. Good design. Have 1600 miles get 27 mpg city only. A bit slow to pick up and less power but overall good ride cheap eco ride with good mileage. Only worst thing is ac its very very weak specially in the Texas heat ufff... Will write a second review after few months. Got se loaded with sunroof, mats, sunroof deflector & leather for 18,250.00 out the door.
