I think for the price this car really delivers. I know Hyundai's reputation has increased substantially over the years and with good reason. It's a comfortable car and easy to operate. Whether we're riding two or all seats are filled up no one ever complains about feeling cramped. Maintenance of the car is easy and parts are always available. It is also a very underrated car which in some ways is fine with us, we don't have a high profile vehicle but it gives us everything we need in a car. It accelerates well and stops on the dime. We use it a lot on high-traffic short commutes and with that stress it doesn't really require any additional maintenance. When we've taken it out on the road on long-distance trips, we barely feel a bump in the road and have never had to worry about it overheating. Hyundai is an exceptional value, in some ways better than Honda these days and that's saying a lot.

I own a Hyundai Elantra limited 2011 model. It's a economical car, great on MPG and the looks. It is its first generation in terms of its designs, so it is definitely an eye-catcher on the road. However, since it is an economical car, it is very light. This means that you'll be able to hear all the noise on the freeway or slam the car door very hard when you don't mean to.
