2012 Hyundai Elantra Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...New for 2012 On automatic-transmission Elantras, a new Active Eco System is designed to improve real-world gas mileage by up to 7 percent by smoothing throttle response. The 2012 Elantra also gets a horn with improved sound and new steering calibration for better straight-line feel. A roadside-assistance kit is optional. Exterior Even though it's a sedan, the Elantra has the look of a coupe. The roofline slopes gracefully down to the trunk lid, and the rising belt line makes a sharp upturn at the rear or the car, giving the rear side windows a triangular shape. This diminishes... |

2011 Hyundai Elantra Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Gone are the days of cheap plastic interiors. The Elantra has a leather-wrapped steering wheel and soft-touch surfaces including leather door-panel inserts. In terms of storage, the Elantra clearly isn't like a minivan with every nook and cranny designed to store all the stuff families tend to lug around. However, there were just enough storage spaces to keep the necessities well-organized and safely contained. Door pockets were large enough to stash my iPad and extra water bottles for our long seven-hour road trip. The center console had a small storage bin as well as an armrest that could... |

Sweeping dashboard lines and a center console that rises to meet the dash give the interior a modern appearance. A high-resolution touch-screen navigation system that incorporates a backup camera is optional for both trims, and the screen is mounted high on the dash. Other interior features include:... |

2012 hyundai elantra Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...In government crash testing, the 2012 Elantra received a perfect five stars for overall crash protection, with four stars for overall frontal impact protection and five stars for overall side impact protection. (It should be noted that some 2012 Elantras that Hyundai built early on received a lower, four-star overall rating resulting from a three-star frontal impact rating.) In Insurance Institute for Highway Safety crash tests, the Elantra earned a top score of "Good" for its performance in frontal-offset, side-impact and roof-strength tests. Interior Design and Special Features: The... |

1996 Hyundai Elantra Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...Which translates to more cargo and people room by several cuboids than Ford Escort, Toyota Corolla, Subaru Impreza or Saturn wagons. Or, thanks to 60 / 40 seats folding flat, enough air space for a pair of mountain bikes and a big red dog. The rear hatch opens and rises easily and liftover is low. The interior--the bolstering and grasp of seats, the clear view of instruments and short reach to critical controls and buttons--is quite warm, and pleasantly covered with mid-quality plastics and fabrics. There's head, hip and shoulder room a plenty with all dimensions a match or an improvement on... |

Why should I also consider these?
We're in a new golden age of compact cars, and nothing says it more succinctly than pointing out how good the Elantra is compared to today's Honda Civic.
The Elantra's imaginative and a leader in economy--while the new Civic suffers from a cheapened interior and a stark lack of imagination in design.
The new leaders in the class include the Elantra and the latest Ford Focus, TheCarConnection's Best Car To Buy 2012, for its sleek design and its crisp handling and its MyFord Touch next-gen infotainment controls.
We also strongly recommend both the Chevy Cruze for its refinement and fuel economy, and the Mazda3 for its road manners and 40-mpg highway rating.
Even Kia's Forte eclipses the old standards with a spacious interior and lots of standard features, not to mention a handsomely Euro-influenced design.
