At first I loved the vehicle, it got good gas mileage handled well, had adequate acceleration, and has had no mechanical issues. I also found the car to be very comfortable.

The 2012 Hyundai Elantra is an amazing car for an affordable price. Hyundai did not disappoint with its redesign of the exterior. They stated they wanted the car to seem like it was moving while it was sitting still and that's exactly what they accomplished. The exterior of the vehicle is aerodynamic, stylish, and modern. It has a sleekness to it which makes it look sporty yet it is a compact sedan. The paint job of the Elantra is also worth noting. The white pearl color has sparkles in it which makes the car look cleaner than it really is when it's dirty. The inside of the car is equally well designed with a beautiful blue interior and comfortable leather seats. The Elantra thought of the backseat passengers by being one of the first of its kind to integrate heated seats in the back. The trunk space is ideal. The gas mileage is superb and offers the opportunity to change to ECO mode which allows drivers to maximize its efficiency. Lastly, the car itself has had no major breakdowns or mechanical problems.
