Hyundai Elantra [2012-2015] User Reviews

Exterior Very good looking car, with all it curves.

Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Nice seating with very good leg space. 10 way adjustable driver seat. Ventilated seats are too good.

Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Engine makes little high nioice, in AT the gear shift we wont feel at all. 12 kmpl in first 1000km.

Ride Quality & Handling Excellent riding quality, at all speeds. Steering little pulls to center when vehicle is at low speeds.

Final Words I've purchased Hyundai Neo Fluidic Elantra 1.6 SX Auto Transmission a month ago, Nov 2012. It is superb. The Maharaja Red is amazing. It is catching all eyes on road. 

Previously I was little bit scared on how to drive a big car on Bangalore pathetic traffic, where auto-rickshaw, two wheelers, and taxi drivers drive rashly and at signals the 2 wheelers just go between the vehicles, where we feel they will definitely make a scratch. But after purchasing Elantra that too red car, on the roads the story is little different, everyone is maintaining little distance and watching it. Nice.

Coming to the mileage right now the odometer reading is ~1000. On first full tank, with one ~400km highway drive, and rest on city drive with 30km per day drive, with AC always ON, the auto transmission diesel given 12 kmpl. After few more months I will again post the mileage.

The ventilated seats is a very nice feature, the ac air flows through the small holes of the driver seat & front passenger seat is nice. The powerful ac with automatic climate adjustment, car becomes cool really fast. 

Driving is smooth, in auto transmission we wont feel the internal gear shifting at all. In first few gears till the speed reaches 40 kmph engine makes a bit high noise as we accelerate, after that the noise is minimal & smooth. On potholes & at small humps or small speed-breakers, inside people wont feel the jerk at all, we just hear the tire sound.

Really nice car worth for the price I feel. Btw, on road it costed me 20 Lacs in Bangalore.

Areas of improvement Engine noise is coming into the cabin, where they can improve noise reduction and its insulation.

Thank you.
