Most value for the money car I ever owned.

This car is categorized as a compact but it really feels like a sedan. Plenty of legroom space even for tall people riding in the back seat. Very good on gas (about 39 mgp)

I will always own an Elantra.

Has excellent gas mileage. Roomy interior you. Love it's sporty looking exterior and my passengers always comment on that and also the smooth ride. Keep it maintained timely and have never had a mechanical issue with this car. Love it and highly recommend it to my friends (and some strangers who comment on the sporty look and are looking at buying).

My First Hyundai

I purchased this car in 2012, when my Toyota turned 16 years old. It has been a delight to drive: like a faithful pet, it works with me to take me to work and play. And, it never complains! I have bumped its rear against walls when I park, kissed its doors against pillars in tight parking spaces, and strained its engine as I've raced away from drivers who behaved with ugly and aggressive manners. I smile when I see its ice blue body serenely waiting for me in a parking lot. The one and only thing I'd improve is my ability to see all four "corners" of my vehicle!

Smooth ride and so cute!

I love this car. Even the feel of the steering wheel feels great. It's a smooth ride no matter the speed. There is plenty of space in the trunk and the back seats go down to give more space.

Loved it!

It was the limited edition so it had everything excerpt dual air. The front and rear seats heated. It felt really low on the ground and often stalled. Also, the driver side brake light kept going out. Other than that I loved it.

The best car I ever owned.

The car looks very classy and very HOT!! The interior is black and the exterior is red. The curves on the car are unique. I love how it makes feels when I drive it. Most of all, how I look driving it. SEXY AND STYLISH!
