Economical, comfortable, glad I purchased it
I was not intending to purchase an Elantra. I was looking at comparable models from 2 other big name auto makers (both Japanese). But when the salesman pulled up in the 2012 Elantra, I had a feeling, this was the one. Mine is a 2012 with the "tech" package -- Bluetooth, XM, GPS screen, moon/sunroof, fog lights, iPhone compatibility, leatherette interior, and some other stuff. Purchase it certified used and really am happy with it. It handles better than expected, has more legroom than I expected, and I really like the "Shiftronic" transmission with both automatic and manual "sport" mode. Having driven manual transmission cars most of my life, there are moments when I prefer manual mode. One thing I will change -- when these tires are ready to be replaced, I will not get the low-profile design again. I feel every pebble I drive over. They may improve gas mileage, though -- my Elantra has given me the best mpg's I've ever gotten at 39.6. Not bad at all. I definitely recommend the Elantra to anyone shopping for a family-sized 4-door sedan. The 2-door model looks nice, too. The wagon model looks cool but doesn't seem to add much trunk space.
