The Vehix View of the Hyundai Elantra

"Arguably more stylish than the Corolla, Sentra and overhauled Civic, sufficiently comfortable, fun to drive, boasting a 40-mpg EPA rating across all trim levels, and offered with features like an optional heated rear seat, the Elantra represents an excellent overall package and a real-world case study in value."

"We love it when a car lives up to the hype. The 2012 Hyundai Elantra looks fantastic inside and out, is roomy, provides great value, gets pretty impressive fuel economy numbers, and provides plenty of driving enjoyment. We do not hesitate in recommending this talented sedan to others, and we would even park a 2012 Elantra in our own garage.

Liz Kim, Vehix Contributing Editor, in the 2012 Hyundai Elantra Review

"Offering buyers greater bang for their buck is one of many attributes that have transformed Hyundai from what was once a problem-prone automaker posing a threat to no other company in the U.S. car market to a powerful brand consistently delivering on its promise of quality, efficiency and value. It's a proposition more consumers are buying into, and a trend that's bound to continue with the launch of the more powerful, more spacious, and better-equipped Elantra. And, for shoppers on the fence, Hyundai has tossed in the most contemporary styling currently offered in the compact class, not to mention fuel economy that reaches 40 mpg."

The new Elantra, folks, is a bargain.

Thom Blackett, Vehix Contributing Editor, in the 2011 Hyundai Elantra First Drive

"Once Hyundai gets the mechanicals fine-tuned, the new Elantra will dominate its class through design, value, comfort, safety, dependability and driving dynamics. And it won't even need a 10-year/100,000-mile warranty or a Hyundai Assurance guaranteed resale value program to sell."
