A crowd pleaser from Hyundai

If you are in the market for a car for $20,000 to $25,000 range, take a look at the new trendy and beautiful Hyundai Elantra Coup SE. The 1.8-liter, in-line 4, 145 horsepower, front wheel drive, six speed automatic delivers 27 City, 37 highway and 31 combined miles per gallon. Even though the coup comes with two doors, it seats four comfortably. The IIHS give it a “good” top safety pick rating. Standard safety features include antilock disc brakes, front side air bags, side curtain air bags, stability and traction control, and brake assist. As customary for many Hyundai models, it comes with a five-year or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first, bumper to bumper warranty. But don’t look for a spare tire.

The coupe comes with many amenities that you may like. The rear seat folds forward allowing more cargo space. Also, the rear seat can accommodate three persons. Added bonuses include sunroof, leather upholstery, and a navigation system. The Car and Driver recognize the slowness in 0 to 60 but praise the styling. Edmunds.com likes the spacious and well-built, large trunk, long warranty coverage, distinctive styling and lots of features that are offered for your money.
