Hyundai Elantra Usados en Venta en Abilene, TX

The 2010 Hyundai Elantra has good fuel economy ratings and plenty of passenger space, but critics say it can feel a bit underpowered. For the 2010 model year, coupe and GT hatchback models join the Hyundai Elantra sedan, and all body styles have a four-cylinder engine and standard six-speed manual transmission. A six-speed automatic is optional. Most test drivers say that the engine strains under hard acceleration, but agree that overall, the Elantra benefits from accurate steering, smooth transmissions and a comfortable ride. With either transmission, the Elantra has good EPA-estimated fuel economy ratings of 28/38 mpg city/highway. Auto reviewers agree that the Elantra GT and coupe are sportier than the base sedan, but several also mention that car shoppers who want more refined handling and a smoother engine should consider competitors like the Ford Focus and Mazda3, which are reviewers' go-to sporty small cars. Like many affordable small cars, the Hyundai Elantra is made with hard plastics, but when reviewers consider its price point, most don’t knock the Elantra for cheap construction. The Elantra’s features list is typical for the class, and includes standard amenities like satellite radio and a USB port, as well as an optional navigation system with a rearview camera. Reviewers give mixed opinions on the interior controls’ ease of use, and one reviewer is particularly annoyed with the touch-screen navigation system, which fades out in the sun. The Elantra models have good front and rear cabin space. Test drivers even say the coupe’s second-row seats fit adults, though the sedan and GT’s rear rows are more comfortable.

This was my first brand new car. I needed a car that was dependable enough to get me to and from work and Dallas and the Chevy I had wasn't cutting it. I checked out the safety ratings and did as much research as I could before setting on the Elantra. It was affordable and I was able to get low payments on it which really helped me out.
