    DRIVING:
    Few thousand kilometers

    Exterior I got this car in late 2014. It still looks very good in Silver/Grey. The lights are very good and do a good job at night. No complaints on look front. 

    Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very spacious, comfortable, they do a good job at giving seat rest whether you're in the passenger seat up front or back and if you're driving it is extra comfy.

    Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine has been more reliable than my previous cars. I have the AT so driving is very easy and on long distance drives, this car is almost flawless. When I drive long distances to cities near delhi like say if I drive to Haryana, Punjab and leave in the morning and get back in the evening, this car is very very good. The drives are fun, the speed is consistent, you can cruze though.

    For city driving, the car is good but then in stop-go traffic its fuel drops fast 

    Ride Quality & Handling Sometimes when I am going through certain kind of roads and speed-lowering speeds breakers (the kind that come in 5-7 packs, the car's suspension can become poor. This is not the best car to drive at a high speed over those series of speed breakers since the car can lose control. So ensure you slow adequately on "Smaller speedbreakers" and avoid driving over potholes for best experinece.

    Final Words I love this car. This is my first Hyundai. I don't let my father's chauffeur touch it. The steering is so much fun to just hold. It is ultimate power.

    In city expect a mileage of 7 to 8 km to a litre of petrol

    On highway it can be anywhere from 15 to 17 km to a litre which is ridiculously good. 

    Areas of improvement They need better a/c ducts and air flow should be more consistent. Sometimes the A/c may be too coold and at times too warm. Better management is required. The Audio system is very poor. It looks ancient. I upgraded it but still it is not good for a top variant. The service cycle is confusing.

    I also own a Skoda Rapid MT and a Mercedes E200 but I would take this car in terms of value, driving and overall fun. The Merc is my father's and in a city like Delhi it is a major let down to drive since you can hardly have a smooth sailing and parking? don't even get me started. 

    ELANTRA will last me atleast 7 years I hope.

    Me? I am a 31 year old medium sized city brat who is a man of all events and who doesn't drive when he's drunk. This car is ideal for me mostly. My beautiful wife loves it too. TOTALLY RECOMMENDED.
