2009 Hyundai Elantra GL review from North America
"Zippy with fun handling!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The trunk opener sticks a little and doesn't always open completely.
Rocks tend to get stuck in tire area and make quite a bit of noise.
Other than those small problems, it has been a great car so far!
General comments?
I love the handling of the car - even in snow and rain!
Gas mileage is a little less than I thought it would be.
XM is fun to have.
Cruise control works great - very zippy car.
Having the back seats fold down to allow for longer items has been a big plus!
Leg room is adequate for a smaller car.
I would not get tan as the interior color if I could choose again - it shows everything!
So far, overall, I love my new car!
