  Great car - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By skisurf1 - June 16 - 11:11 pm

  I own a 2006 Civic currently and have owned a Chevy and Toyota. The dealer experience was not up to speed but the car is. You just can beat the warranty, the price and free road side assistance for 5 years. Honda civic would cost $3000 more and probably have as many recalls like my current Hondas. The transmission kills my 06 Civic. I feel little vibrations in the seat and cabin is quiet compared to Honda. I cant say enough about the design. They have surpassed Honda and Toyota simply as that.

  Mileage issue - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By youngblood - June 16 - 2:04 pm

  Ive had my Elantra Limited for 3 months and find that my mileage varies considerably based on a couple of factors. 1) Driving at a steady speed of 55-60 mph on an open highway or interstate, Im getting over 40 mpg. But if I drive in the 70-80 mph range, my mpg drops to the low to mid 30s. 2) Driving in the city with lots of stops, the mph drops to the 24-29 mpg range. 3) Using regular unleaded gas (compared with the cheaper ethanol blend sold in the Midwest) results in significantly higher gas mileage. 4) The "ECO" system has no effect on MPG that I can determine.

  WOW! - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By satexas - June 15 - 8:56 pm

  My wife and i decided to depart from the luxury car segment and get something more practical. We decided on the hyundai because of the feature content of the limited and the gas mileage. We just werent sure of hyundai reliability. I am happy to say we have had the car 3 months and havent looked back. Sure its no speed demon, but if all you want is a great every day driver and a car that has most of the technology of a luxury car with great gas mileage then this is the car for you. My wife has managed up to 44mpg hypermiling it on the expressway. Those people that arent getting the high 30 mpg on the highway may just need to have a lighter foot. Great car would totally recommended.

  Great car overall - but read the full review - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By tiversen - June 13 - 3:02 pm

  Have driven the car for about 1000 miles. This is a good choice for a highway commuter or inexpensive family car. Hope it holds up - but bought the 10 yr 100k bumper to bumper just in case. Here is the good, the fair and the needs improvement.

  By debbishaw - June 12 - 9:52 pm

  i bought the car for gas mileage and i am very disappointed that i am only getting 31 MPG on highways. and they were not coming down on price due their gas fuel economy.is this even legal to advertise 40 mpg when it does not come close?

  40 MPG? - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By jouett - June 9 - 8:54 am

  Ive had my 2011 Limited for two months, and just under 2,000 miles. Traded an 09 Accord EX. Like the looks inside and out, and for the price, think its very well equipped. My only negative remark so far is with the advertised 40 mpg estimate. I understand all the variables that go into the final average fuel numbers. Driving conservatively on 30 mile r/t per day, Ive not seen 30 mpg yet. Prior to the Honda was an 03 Corolla that did provide 30+ mpg. Im hoping this one improve with time.

  Questionable MPG - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By txn - June 3 - 12:04 pm

  We got this car a week ago solely based on the 29-40 MPG. So far we have gotten 27 during on the first tank. I hope it improves. The car appears to be made well and the quality of the interior is impressive. I just hope the mileage gets into the advertised range. Anyone here fall short of the low end of the range and try to deal witht he dealer on it?

  I am so glad I chose Hyundai Elantra GSL - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By deebi27 - June 2 - 11:02 pm

  I had a Honda CR-V, I loved my car however on April 19th a storm totaled my CRV. I had just paid it off in November. :o( Enter May and I was on a mad research expedition to find a new car. I finally settled on 4 cars. I test drove 3 on Memorial Day and the 4th one, the Hyundai Elantra Tuesday after work. OMG! There was no comparison between the Elantra and the 1st 3. The ride is wonderful! I have great 40+ mpg! I have my Bluetooth hook up, for what I believe will become in the near future...no hand held cell phone use! My husband (6) is quite comfortable in the passenger seat. Phone, radio and cruise controls on the steering wheel. I love my new Hyundai Elantra!!!

  Great car for the price! - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By rtz - June 2 - 11:00 am

  Love the looks inside and out. Ride can be rough and road and engine noise loud. Options installed are fantastic! Bluetooth & ipod hook up. Ive had 3 tanks of gas so far (E10 in NY) and I am getting 31mpg with 15% city and 85% highway. Its rated fpr 29 city/40 highway. Im barley getting over city rating with large percentage HW driving.Was hoping for 35mpg combined. Hopefully it will increase over time.

  best ever - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By chuckyb42 - May 29 - 9:37 pm

  I have owned Hondas for the past 10 years The main reason was that I was a Honda salesman during that time Also Hondas comfort, cost of ownership and reliability were buying factors. My lease was up on my CRV so I started to look for a replacement. After reading all the positive reviews for the Elantra, I decided to give it a try Years ago I would look at a Hyundai vehicle After driving the Elantra I was blown away by its quality appearance and ride Ive had my GLS for 3 months and LOVE IT Great gas mileage great features outstanding vehicle. Run dont walk to your Hyundai and try one
