My Hyundai Elantra is easy to handle with power steering and a four-cylinder engine. It's at its best when taking long trips or a commute around town. It has perfect leg room and comfortable seating for four, a wide trunk to store your valuables in. The stereo sound system with speakers on the sides and rear of the Elantra are perfect to keep you focused on the drive to and from work. Gas mileage is excellent with 38 miles per gallon. Cons of the Elantra include: not enough horsepower to keep up with other vehicles with powerful engines (6), it doesn't climb as smooth up steep hills as well, either.

I first started learning to drive a few years ago, and this Hyundai Elantra was the first car I ever owned or bought. It handles well, drives perfect, is easy to maneuver and fits in just about any space. It's also a very economical car as it gets 30+ MPG on the highway and roads. While being a rather small car, a hatchback, it was still very comfortable and I didn't mind going on long drives in it. Despite being a hatchback it is also a very sporty, cute little car. All the Elantra models have a nice design to them, even the newer ones which I like over many newer car models. It is an old car however so unfortunately you don’t get all the bells and whistles of a newer car like USB or rear view cameras and auto parallel parking mods but it still has power steering, electronic windows, auto locking and such as well as an alarm system to deter thieves. What the Elantra lacks in size it makes up for in being an all-around great first time, economical car. Did I mention it has a cool little moonroof on top?
