If your price range says economy car, but your taste says sleek and stylish, the 2012 Hyundai Elantra may very well be the answer to your dilemma. Looking somewhat like a miniaturized Hyundai Sonata,
If you're looking for a small car that is more sporty than smooth, the 2012 Hyundai Elantra may not be the best choice. A Mazda3 and Ford Focus may deliver superior driving experiences, but neither ca
The 2012 Hyundai Elantra sedan and wagon may not have the responsive handling characteristics found with the Mazda3 or Ford Focus, but they are still a fun and engaging pair. There is enough feedback through the steering wheel to allow for confident twisting-road romps, and the suspension manages to keep the car fairly flat while soaking up road imperfections. The new steering calibration delivers better on-center feel, which helps for going straight down the road, as well as added feedback for more accuracy when turning into corners. The Elant

"I highly recommend this car! I just bought a New 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS with Manual Transmission. Just reached my 1,000 mile mark. I upgraded the car by installing leather seats and sunroof. This is a great car. Everything about it is solid. The doors are nice and solid when you close them compared to Japanese cars (Honda or Toyota. There aren't any creeks when driving over bumps. I used to own the Hyundai Tiburon and it lasted so many years without needing repairs. My family asked me to upgrade to something with a smoother suspension and better gas mileage. So I bought the new Hyundai Elantra. It's a great car. I get average 33-34MPG. And usually 37-38MPG highway. I love the style, sound system, and steering. It's not the fastest car on the street. But that's not why I bought it. Compared to Nissan, Honda, Toyota; the Hyundai Elantra is the best car on the market. I highly recommend this car!"

"I bought my GLS model on May 9th, and like my car more and more each time I drive it. I drive mostly in town and some minor freeway driving and with eco mode on I am getting 29 mpg in town driving and have even gotten 32 mpg in town. I have yet to take a trip, so no comment on highway mpg. I downsized from an F-150 super crew and this car is much easier to park and drive, plus much, much better fuel economy. If you are looking for a good compact car I highly recommend this one."
