I am using the Elantra from last one year and am really happy and satisfied with its performance. I would rather say that it has absolutely changed my life in a way. I feel very proud to have it. No other car has such beautiful looks like Elantra. There are three options for the front grille without chrome, with chrome border lining or with vertical strips of chrome. The interior is as beautiful as its exterior. It has chrome door handles and alloy looks sporty. Seats are very comfortable and attractive. The steering is also well designed with a Hyundai sign in between. Quality of materials used in the interiors are very good. From the safety point of view Elantra gives two air bags, one at the driver seat and the other for the front passenger as well as seat belts. Elantra goes faster than Octavia as its top speed is 185 km/ph. Diesel gives better ride quality and good mileage. Elantra possess abs(anti lock braking system),tcs(traction control system) and ebd(electronic brake force distribution) by which you can easily get out of any risky situation. Mileage with a petrol Elantra is bit low around 10 km/pl but diesel throws 14 km/pl and on highways it can take you upto 18 km/pl. So, what else? YOu have everything power, mileage, looks and safety.
