This Year's Model Updates:

For 2010, the Hyundai Elantra adds a new, fuel-efficient Blue model along with improved fuel economy for all other models. A new grille and chrome trim spruce up the appearance, while iPod/USB connections are now standard down to the GLS trim.

Pros:
  • High-class cabin for the price, smooth and secure ride, spacious interior with adult-friendly backseat, generous features list, low price, long warranty.
Cons:
  • A bit bland to drive, a few cheap interior bits, lackluster side-impact safety scores, engine gets noisy at higher rpm.

  • Test drive before you buy! - 2010 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    This car meets or exceeds my expectations. I test drove several competitors including the Mazda 3. The Mazda 3 is probably a finer car, but not $7,000 finer. This is my 12th new car and I have never been more pleased with a new automobile. The gas sipping engine give plenty of performance for my pocketbook.

  • Great Ride - 2010 Hyundai Elantra

    I reviewed road tests of several vehicles of this size and went on to drive a few. The Elantra came out on top. I believe it fills all the requirements for a vehicle in this price range. For the customers complaining of a bumpy ride, you should have test driven it more. You are not getting a Rolls Royce at this price. What you are getting is good basic transportation with all the safety items included. It will get you where you need to go. It is a great buy!

    I love this car! It rides very smoothly and the XM radio is a must have that I didnt know I needed until now!

    Quiet ride at all speeds. Comfortable seating front & rear. The trunk is quite large and the rear seat backs fold easily for maximum space. A great value!

  • Great car for the price - 2010 Hyundai Elantra

    Great interior. Blue lights at night are cool. Handles great. Seat material may be a problem even with their Scotch guard. Very quiet and great radio. Love XM radio. XM needs to lower their price on monthly charges. If you call them they will have special offers to reduce the monthly price. Service great. Great paint . Slow down and bumps wont be a problem.

  • Very good - 2010 Hyundai Elantra

    Great car! I looked at Mazda3s, Honda Fits and Civics and hands down better of all them! Much more quiet and while not as quick as the Civic or 3, a much better feeling.

  • Just purchased my new Elantra - 2010 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    Just purchased a new Natural Khaki GLS and Im thrilled. I feel like I got a really good deal on the car too. Got it for $14250.00 and with the admin fee it was only $14,600.00. I was ill-prepared for the hard sell on the extended warranty so I purchased one but canceled it the very next day so Im happy about that as well. The car drives great and seems like it will get great gas mileage. My wife and I drive mostly on the interstates but I really havent noticed the suspension issues that have been brought up here. It drives as smooth as any any other short-wheel base vehicle that doesnt have a sport-tuned suspension.

  • Love my new 2010 Elantra GLS! - 2010 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    I just got my 2010 Elantra GLS w/sunroof for 16,395 (after a week of haggling between dealerships). My Olds Alero hit a snowbank and was totaled so had one week to research and buy car. Was looking between Corolla, Mazda 3, Malibu...about 10 diff cars. I love the Elantra, the 10 year 100,000 mi warranty cant be beat. Feels more luxurious than other small cars I drove. Neat blue backlighting in interior. Great gas mileage - 36 mpg. Looks and feels sporty. 3 mo of free xm radio is cool. Sleek look, good pickup. Really happy with my purchase.

  • Rides better than the Sonata - 2010 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    I was surprised at how quiet the cabin was and the way it handle the rough roads. It beats the Sonata (2009) in these areas. Fun to drive. Gas mileage seems to be the same as the Sonata 4 cyl. Turning radius is great. Nice looking exterior and trunk release pops the trunk all the way open...nice feature compared to Sonata.

  • nice and quit ride !! - 2010 Hyundai Elantra
    By -

    This is my 3rd elantra and the reason why I bought it is because I never had a problem with none of them in the past I drive long distance and it gives me around 32 mpg I love it love the blue lights in the center console...
