  I bought my Elantra Limited a month ago - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By jeffdavis1 - April 16 - 12:57 pm

  This car makes me feel like Im driving a much more expensive car. I traded an 08 Nissan Sentra SL and this beats it hands down. The Sentra was quiet, this is more quiet. This car is loaded w/toys that are easy to use and dont look gaudy. The controls are very well put together - elegant. Winters in Michigan means lower fuel milage. My first drive from the dealer (90 miles) showed 35 miles per gallon. The first two fill-ups averaged 31 miles for mixed driving. Unless something happens, Im going to be very happy with this car.

  Better than my 2007 Honda Civic - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By hyundai12 - April 15 - 9:08 pm

  This car lives up to all the claims made by the company that built it. Great fuel economy solid build. In case any of you are complaining about the engine or road noise, I strongly suggest that you take a 2006-2007 Honda Civic for a test drive. Those models have more noise from the engine and road noise from the cheap tires from the factory. Oh yeah didnt Honda try to downplay the roadnoise with a commercial that played a Holiday tune when you drove on that specially grooved road.

  Uncomfortable seats - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By me34 - April 15 - 7:09 am

  There is very little lumbar support in this automobile. This makes it unpleasant for me to drive. An $18,000 mistake.

  A big boring car for suburban American masses! - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By streetcarben - April 8 - 5:07 pm

  I bought this car in December after my 02 Mini was getting too expensive to maintain. I got sucked in by the 10 year warranty and the advertised fuel economy. An overall ok/good car. Not as fun to drive as my Mini. Harder to fit into small city parking spaces compared to my Mini. Fuel economy is not nearly good as what Hyundai advertises. The car is supposed to get 40 mpgs HWY. Hah! After 4 months, I average about 33/34 on the HWY. My Mini got 36 on the HWY. I live in Boston and had to go to a dealer 50 miles away to find an Elantra with a manual transmission! Transmission quality overall is pretty good. Based on my experience thus far with this car I would probably not buy another Hyundai.

  This isnt Your Fathers Elantra - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By newhartford - April 6 - 11:44 am

  Fit and finish are excellent. The doors close with authority. The cabin is roomy except for headroom in the back seat. Even without the adjustable lumbar support the seats are comfortable. Interior materials are nice. The trunk is roomy as well. The car has adequate power but I dont find myself speeding with it. Always feels like you have to push it a little. The automatic tranny shifts up and down smoothly. The ride is firm not floaty. Dont have a problem with the steering drift that others mention.

  Elantra Rocks - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By elantrarocks - March 28 - 9:54 pm

  I recently went to Pensacola Florida. I rented a mid size Car. When I went to pick it up I thought they gave me the wrong car. It was sleek and very stylish. I am a 61" man about 280lbs. I could not believe I had enough head room and the seat was sturdy and felt very comfortable. The cars not perfect but its close. I then drove from Pensecola to Tallahasse and got 42 miles per gallon. WOW! I did all kinds of milage comparisions while I had the car for a week. In general it gets 32mpg mixed driving. At 75 mph hwy it gets about 35-37mpg. I drove a 17 mile stretch of flat road and it aveaged 55mpg. I was driving a Mazda RX-8. Now I bought a new Elantra for 18,000.00. I would have paid more!

  Great Large Compact Car - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By goldthaiger - March 26 - 3:30 pm

  I just bought Elantra 2011 a month ago. So far, this car is great. The standard features that come with the car is just fantastic. Its a sport sedan good looking car by far in the market. I was amazed when i first went to the dealer and sit in the car. The interior is great...so roomy. Before i decided to buy Elantra, I went to see and did some research...mazda3 was my first choice, then Corolla and Civic. Mazda3 is a very good looking car, best interior, but MPG didnt really do it for me. Corolla is not an exciting car what so ever and still use the drum brakes the back wheels. Honda is just way too expensive for the smallest compact car. Its my first time buying Hyundai and I love it.

  WOW! What a nice car - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By bsmith7859 - March 26 - 1:06 pm

  I have had it for 2 weeks now and 1000 miles. The car got 37mpg on the highway from the dealership and Im averaging 32.5 on country roads. The mpg should pick up more as the car gets broke-in. Fun to drive on twisty roads, and from a start it actually takes off well. It is a lite car and on rough roads you get moderate road noise and the bumps are noticable, hey its not a 5000lb caddy, your going to have that. The seats are so comfortable and I love the bluetooth and all the other goodies. Had some snow on the roads and gave me a chance to play with the traction and stabilty control, I would purposely put the car in a slide and the car would quickly straighting itself. I love this car.

  Suprising! - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By drblptq - March 26 - 11:49 am

  Let me begin by saying I purchased this vehicle primarily for its advertised gas mileage, along with its styling and for that it has not disappointed! I average about 33 mpg, with a 50/50 split highway/local. This is a dramatic improvement over my last ride, a CX-9. Of course to compare the two vehicles is useless. The Cx-9 averaged 17mpg mixed. Not bad for a vehicle its size and weight. I drive about 25,000 miles per year, 95% work related, and the Elantra fits the bill with current gas prices.

  Love This Car - 2011 Hyundai Elantra
  By tkbeyedoc - March 24 - 9:23 pm

  I have had my 2011 Elantra Ltd with Navigation package for about a week now. I have averaged almost 37mpg (75% highway driving 70++ mph.) I use the car to drop 4 kids off at school and then to make a 50 mile round-trip work commute. The cars drives very nicely (and just for comparison, my previous everyday driver was an 05 XJ Vanden Plas!) Of course, there isnt sports-car power, but ride, handling, and noise are excellent for this category. The only thing I notice is a little motion in crosswinds. The features are just incredible. Being able to stream Pandora on android phone via Bluetooth is just too cool. I honestly have ZERO regrets about this purchase. Now my dad wants one!
