I tried many cars at Auto Show before deciding on Elantra SE, more interior room than many bigger cars. Handling fantastic when pushed on mountain roads but SE suspension is sometimes unforgiving on poor roads. If the road is bad you'll definitely know it. The car is great on freeways but you have to drive it, on the on ramps don't leave it in "D" use the shift-tronic you'll enjoy the power and control it gives you. I'm a high mileage driver and enjoy the 30-31 mpg average I'm getting. Long rides avg 34+ mpg.
Affordable luxuries...

Its not as sporty as a Mazda 3 nor as popular (not yet) as Corolla or Civic but my Elantra gets the job done with far more than enough safety and luxury features as standard. MPG 33+ on highway @ 65+ MPH. Although it could use more hp ride is quiet pleasing and comfortable on long drives.Build and qualities are up par with the famous 3. Bottom line is the price I paid for this great car...sure saved me a lot to afford to go on long drives for vacations.

I love this car it is very good on gas and its little enough to park almost anywhere! I've had this car for about 4 months now and I love it, and its quiet on the highways. it needs a little work in the upgrading department as far as bluetooth, and interior and exterior accessories.
Great Car

Had the car now for two weeks and am very happy. Traded my clunker for $4500 plus the $2000 discount then showed the dealer my TMV report - bottom line is I got a great car at a great price. The car accelerates and brakes well and the handling is very good with little body roll in corners. The car is a bit noisy under heavy acceleration but quite under normal conditions. I have not noticed wind noise at highway speed. Overall the can is nimble, fun to drive and fits four very comfortably. Gas mileage is good but I haven't had it long enough to really determine true MPG for me. Finally you can't beat the warranty.
Excellent alternative to Civic/Corolla

I am a loyal Honda Civic owner, and my wife is a loyal Toyota Camry/Corolla owner. So we are still in shock when we are shopping for a replacement car this past month we decided on the 2009 Hyundai Elantra SE. What made us make this decision? For me it's not really hard to make after a comparison of features and pricing. It's really disappointing how much Civic/Corolla has really jack up their prices, now you're paying more for the "brand name" then actual product. The Elantra, by comparison, no longer just offers a cheap car at a cheap price, but it's a great car (by comparison) at an incredible price. Anybody looking to buy Civic/Corolla should definitely give Elantra a hard look.
