2009 Hyundai Elantra User Reviews

Pros

Surprisingly quite ride, good pick up. Spacious interior space, excellent mileage. ESC!

Cons

Non so far.

Purchased As New

I have been driving Chey lumina, Buick Le,Sabre and those are very very comfortable rides. However, I started looking for more fuel efficient and newer vehicle to save impending and foreseeable repair/fuel costs, hence a smaller car. I test drove many like, Chey Malibu, Ford fusion/focus, Toyota Camery/corola, VW, Nissan Altima/Santra and ofcourse Hyundai Sonata/Elantra. I analized technical and economical factors and came to the conclusion that the best value would be Hyundai Sonata. But I couldn't find a suitable 09 Sonata GLS with PEP in the color of choice (Natural Khaki). I had to down grade to Elantra SE that fitted my budget. I was little skeptical about the size as I am a retired person and road noise level that I associated with a compact cars was an important factor.. But to my pleasant surprise I found that comparatively Elantra is quiter than any other compact that I have driven so far. It is new and only a week old but I like it already and intend to keep it
