6-speed manual transmission is standard . A 6-speed automatic transmission is optional.

If you change the styling every 2 to 4 years. You can keep up with what's new in style. Rather than fall behind like chevy has been doing. Its fresh now...just not fresh 5 years from now, and toyota has dropped the ball a couple times with being the first to change, creates sales now...but when the newest big dog comes out. That cripples you when they have the newest technology and or design to deminish your sales.
Only saving grace for toyota. #1 in reliability.

Also the car looks great...will be by far the best interior styling I've seen yet in a compact. And the outside looks like a teenage sonata, with its big grin and big eyes...
In other words, it should beat every compact on the road on price, style, and standard equipment. Once again hyundai raises the bar.

looks very similar to the new Sonata really...kind of like how Toyota was using simliar front ends for the yaris sedan, camry, and avalon there for a couple years.

Very impressive, just like every car Hyundai puts out these days.
They are quickly becoming my potential alternative choice to Toyota. Dare I say. It's clearly happening - Toyota and Honda (and everyone else except Ford) almost seem to be moving at a snails pace, while Hyundai is a fast moving train. Their progress in the last 10 years is completely unprecedented. Impossible by most standards. The Korean automaker is the hungriest of them all, and have the cheap resources to work miracles. The whole rest of the industry must not doubt that Hyundai could rise to the worlds largest automaker. Perhaps still unlikely, but I would not be surprised in 15 years. I also love how Hyundai and Kia (same company) are running with very different design directions. Hyundai is fluid, Kia is angular and aggressive. Very smart. This car makes everything else in the segment look boring, including the interior (at least until the stunning 2012 Focus comes out). |

I am very impressed with hyundai as well. I agree with most everyone about toyota making some of the most bland sedans but they are very reliable and have die hard customers.

The 2007-2010 Elantra is a very high quality car. Reliability has been excellent.
Expect this new one though, to be an even further leap forward. Quote:
The current Elantra went 4 years (it does seem like less but it has been out as long as the Yaris). A new Yaris will drop one year later for 2012. Hyundai is able to do this due to cheaper labor costs and material costs. And their drive to become the best doesn't hurt. Most companies follow design themes. You don't want to be all over the place when it comes to corporate design. Companies need an identity. Still, these latest Hyundai designs still are quite distinctive enough to not just be re-sized versions of one car. |
