Pros: What do you like about 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
So far, everything.
It came with a 10/100,000 warranty.
The seats are more comfortable than the 2006 Kia Spectra we traded in on it. There is a lot of leg and head room. The same can said for the back seats too. The trunk is huge for a car this size.
We are getting an average combined mileage of 29.8 MPG.
It has much less road noise than the Spectra EX had. It's quieter outside too.
The radio picks up stations we couldn't get before. We love the antenna, you need not remove it to go through a car wash.
The oil change is listed at 7500 mile intervals for the way we drive.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
I can't think of anything.
2010 Hyundai Elantra Review:
We bought this car on February 21, 2011. We bought it for the 10/100,000 warranty, and because we got $2500 cash back to help on the down payment. We had a 2006 Kia Spectra EX that had 92K trouble free miles on it. We liked our Spectra so much, we decided to either buy a Hyundai or another Kia.
I noticed two of the other reviews were poor. If you put what was stated together, you'll notice a trend.
1. Slow off the start - it has a 2.0L engine built for sensible driving, not hot rodding.
2. Bad fuel mileage - you get bad mileage when you do rabbit starts.
3. Bad over all drive - It is an economy car, not a sports car.
If I dogged a car, it wouldn't last for me either.
Our car is a GLS. It has appropriate take off for the engine it has. Our Spectra also had the 2.0L engine. They're not spectacular in performance, but they aren't supposed to be either. It gives an average combined 29.8 MPG. It's rated for an average combined 29 MPG. It gives a comfortable ride. If I wanted a sports car with sports car handling, I'd have bought one.
We got great service with our Spectra and will most likely get the same with the Elantra. Hyundai makes a good car. I'm seeing more of them all the time.
The dealership loaned me a 2011 Sonata Limited to drive because our car was at another dealership, and we had to wait until the next day for it to come in. If I could have afforded it, I would have bought the Sonata - wow. But, we like our Elantra and its payments just fine.

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
Everything. I bought this car strictly for economy as my last kid is in college. Seems like the perfect car for my circumstance.
I've had it 15 months and have 26,000 miles on it. Each tank has been between 33 and 37 mpg.
I bought one with alloy wheels, 4-wheel discs and heated outside mirrors (I live in NH and don't have a garage).
If one uses his imagination it's kind of like a sports car - just not a real one!
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
The only problem I have experienced is traction in the winter. The original tires were designed for gas mileage. I bought all season tires with some grip - problem solved.

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
-Awesome warranty.
-Reliable.
-Great highway mileage.
-Descent sound system.
-Plenty of room for midsize car.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
-I find that when I go from gear to gear, once I press onto the clutch, the rpm's seem to take a while to go down...sorta like a parachute effect...which in the long run, if you do a lot of city driving, could lead to bad gas mileage.
2010 Hyundai Elantra Review:
57$ from gas light to full with today's gas prices, can give me anywhere from 500km to 630km, so it honestly depends on what type of drive you are and if you drive city or highway.
Very satisfied with my purchase :)

2010 Hyundai Elantra Review:
I love Hyundai but this car is a 2010 that feels like a 1990. Horrible overall automobile, I have the GL and you would do better with a Focus or Civic.....

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
So far everything! We just bought it, and it's going great!
Love the leg room for my 2 teenage boys that have to sit in the back when we're all in the car.
Blue-lights are very cool.
I do a lot of city driving and there are little if any real blind spots.
Also after the winter we are having - the heated seats are a real bonus!
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
Gotta say, I don't like the cup holders right beside me instead of up on top of the gear shift.
Other than that, I really can't think of anything else.

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
Price is great for the size and options.
The trunk is very big and the seats are also roomy, leaving me room for everything I need to play in nets on the ice.
Very good on gas.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
More standard features would be nice in the Blue/L model.
Make the body less generic.
2010 Hyundai Elantra Review:
This is my Third Elantra. My last one had over 300000 clicks on it is still running! If you want to have a nice car with some money in the bank and are going to keep it for years, this is a great choice. If you plan to change every year or so it doesn't have the same buy back as other companies...yet.

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
Great turning radius and very quick in traffic.
At approx. 2.50 gal gas. it cost 28 dollars to fill up.
Terrific factory stereo.
Headlights give great night vision and then add in the fog lights.
Love the blue interior lighting and the fact if keys in ignition can't lock the keys in car.
Also no auto headlight but turn on lights and when shut off car and lock doors headlights still go out then come on when you unlock it.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
Make audio controls on steering standard.
Add in power seat option for those who need it, get a lot of requests for it.
Add alloy rims as added option beside the se model.
2010 Hyundai Elantra Review:
I sell them and wasn't convinced till I purchased. Need to drive on open highway to really feel the pickup and horsepower for a 2.0.

Pros: What do you like about 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
We have had our Hyundai Elantra gls for two weeks now, so far it is every thing we imagined. We only have 500 miles on it, still breaking it in.
We are going to Ohio to see our Son Wednesday, our first long trip. He is in Ohio about 900 miles so we can figure our MPG.
It is comfortable to drive and has adequate acceleration for me in city driving. Our first tank we got 24 MPG.
I like the layout of the dashboard, and the Blue lights, XM radio and all of the storage compartments. Plenty of leg room both front and back.
We had window film installed too.
Cons: How would you improve 2010 Hyundai Elantra?
I can't think of any.
2010 Hyundai Elantra Review:
Our next car may be the Sonata if I can get it in my one car garage, it is twelve inches longer.
