Hyundai Elantra 2011

Acheté en mai 2011 depuis, je suis conquis. J'ai eu plusieurs véhicule mais l'Elantra passe première dans tout les véhicules que j'ai conduis jusqu'à maintenant. Bravo Hyundai!

Top notch fit and finished. No rattles or sounds. Quality is as good as Honda in my opinion.

First, let me say that my wife and I wanted the Volkswagen TDI comfortline wagon. It is a better drive than the Elantra Touring (power, fuel efficiency, cargo space). That being said, it was not worth the premium price that they were asking! VW needs to get off their high horses and realize that the TDI is not worth the extra payout even if it is the only "cheap" diesel powerplant out there. Who cares if you have no competition! Frankly, I doubt the average person sees the merit in spending $13000 more for a TDI (vs. the top-end elantra gls sport). Yes, the TDI is more fuel efficient despite having a more powerful engine (test drive it at least!). That being said, based on my research and calculations, I would have to own the TDI for 22 years to make up this difference in price with $ savings in fuel vs the elantra touring. Consequently, we went with the Elantra Touring GLS sport (all the bells and whistles) (paid in cash, $3000 rebate plus added haggling savings). If VW was at least willing to provide the same discounts with the gas model, I would have bought the more affordable 2.5L trendline (keep in mind that this is the base model and it is still $4000 more expensive than the top line all inclusive GLS sport!). But it seems that VW has an image to maintain and they do not want to be cheapened with the likes of Hyundai. Hey VW! That's why you have Audi and Porsche! Get over yourselves. You just lost a sale and the Touring is a great car. Plus the difference in
rankings by critics is not that great so why would anyone spend more for less car??
I will admit that time will tell if our Hyundai will hold together as well as our old Toyota and Honda models but from what I am reading elsewhere, it seems that I need not worry.
On a side note, WE NEED MORE DIESEL CARS - VW needs competition to drive their prices down.

Avant de l'acheter j'ai fait les essais routier pendant qu'il neigeait beaucoup et j'ai été impressionner par sa tenue de route, surtout que chez les concessionnaires il ne mettes pas de pneu d'hiver.
j'avais un Santa Fe GLS a traction intégrale avant de faire l'acquisition de l'Elantra touring.

Côté espace dans la valise, j'en perd un peu mais pas assez pour être un inconvénient. J'ai une famille de deux enfants. et sa se voyage très bien sur une longue distance.
