A Solid "Assembled in USA" Car :D

I have had this Elantra now for a little over a year (Purchased it on 06/30), and I must say Hyundai has stepped up their game. I recall when they were disposable products alongside KIA. Understand that this is NOT a sports car, the steering is light, and I was not used to that at first. Additionally, the Drive Mode, one of them being "Sport" is a joke. I guess it is for those who have not driven cars w/better handling, and assume that this is what "Sport" is like? I tried it just once, and it felt like I had four flat tires. Besides that, what can I say other than it is your basic car with nice creature comforts. I have the SE w/the Popular Equipment Package, and that is all you need. It is probably the best bang for the buck, purchased it as a CPO for around $13K. Looking at the spec sheet, it comes off sounding like it is a reliable vehicle, w/a naturally aspirated 2.0 l 4-cylinder (Multiport Fuel Injection, no carbon deposits on the intake valves) coupled w/a 6-speed automatic (None of that CVT or DCT crap), in which it is, but of course, in my time of driving it, I had an incident that should be mentioned. I had a Cylinder 3 Misfire, and that was taken care of under warranty. Another issue, unrelated to the mechanics, was the paint. It started chipping on the hood. Fortunately, I got a touchup paint pen from the dealer, free of charge, and it was fixed. Now, that should not deter you from looking at this vehicle or other Hyundai products. In fact, my mother is looking to replace her '09 Murano w/a new Kona. So, looking at everything that this car offers, I am extremely happy, and you will be too. Oh, did I also mentioned that it was assembled in Alabama? Very nice!

Went looking for a used car and found a better deal with a new Hundai - given their warranty that eliminated purchasing an extended warranty.

Purchased 7-16, 18000 miles to date. This sedan is considered rather base transportation, but it certainly is more than the price perception. Build quality is excellent, fit, finish is all could ask for, it's not a Lexus... Performance is good, engine rev's willingly, auto auto trans is terrific, and get's the most of the modest HP, Gas mileage is amazing! In town mileage is 34-35, mixed 38-40, trips/only fwy 44-47. Have taken 3 long vacation trips, lots of hilly passes, 47 MPG was the norm, fully loaded. Trans again offers three modes, all increasing response, eco, normal, sport. I use eco 95% of the time, plenty of power... I really like the body style, not too space ship, the style will endure for me.

One of my specs when car shopping was it NEEDS not less than 35 mpg. Since I bought this a month ago, I've been to Tn and back with a total mileage of 1950. Most fill up worked out at 40 mpg or more. My last fill generated 44 mpg. My previous car gave 27, so this is quite impressive. This has ample trunk space, great a/c and the front seats may not be fantastic, but they are very sufficient. I plan on owning this car for 20 years.
