2013 Elantra - a first-rate car in every respect
We purchased our first Hyundai - a 2013 Elantra - in April, 2013. While we knew from research, reviews and references that it would be a highly desirable choice, it has exceeded our expectations in every way. And those expectations were high. Its comfort, details of finish and road-handling all put it at the top of the many automobiles that we have owned since our first, a 1955 Ford. Our Elantra is a member of an increasingly rare breed, for it has a 6-speed manual transmission - which is something that we specified as wanting in this purchase. The bonus of this choice is that the gas economy has readily surpassed the higher end of the performance that we had initially anticipated - on occasion, we have experienced roundly 50 mpg in multi-hundred-mile highway driving conditions. It is our hope that our first three years with this car are but a preview of what we can expect in the much longer time that we anticipate owning it.
