"I really like my 2009 Hyundai Elantra, I love the look inside and out I love how it handles. I love the heated mirrors and the fact the headlights turn off when I turn off the car that's a cool feature! I'm very glad I decided to purchase this car after all the research I did, I'm sure I wont be disappointed."

"We helped our daughter get a '09 Elantra while she was in nursing school. We bought it new and have been VERY pleased with it. She has put lots of miles on it commuting to and from school. Now she's a R.N., married and 60,00 miles later we are buying the car off of her. Great gas mileage, (between 35-38 on the hwy) dependable, comfortable, great warranty and nice looking for a nice price. Pleased and satisfied is an understatement!"

"Purchased our 2009 Elantra in the same year and haven't looked back since. Great gas milage. Comfortable to drive. Comes with all the perks for less money. Had one issue at 20k miles, transmission seal started leaking, (probably caused by one of the huge potholes around town I hit) the dealership nearby happily installed a brand new transmission and it only took them a few hours at most to replace it. I love when replacing a tranny is more cost effective than replacing one of its seals alone. All in all, my family is very happy with our Hyundai Elantra. Over the years my immediate family has owned around 5-6 Hyundais total. Perfect car for anyone concerned about value for your money and reliability."

"I have only owned this car for a month now, but so far so good. I was attracted to this car because I was looking for a smaller car with good MPG, and so far no higher than 28 which is a bit dissapointing. The inside is comfortable and the functions are easy to use, the iPod junction is great but it doesn't work with my iPhone which is upsetting but no big deal. The only real thing I have to complain about is it doesn't drive too well in the snow. Living in Minnesota we get a lot of it and for some reason I don't get much traction and the tires look good still. Maybe it is just an opperator error but it is something to consider."

"This is the 3rd Hyundai I've owned and the 2nd Elantra. It is the most dependable and low maintenance car I have ever owned. I recently traded a 2008 Accent for the 2009 Elantra only because it had a manual transmission and I prefer an automatic. It is comfortable on long trips and gets great mileage. I expect to trade this one for another Hyundai when the time comes. They are a great value for the price and hold up well."

"Actually went to the dealer looking for a used car but we test drove this car and were really impressed. The gas mileage is outstanding as well as the trunk space. XM satellite radio is cool as well as the Ipod interface (must puchase the cable from the dealer). All and all it's a great car!!!!"
