You are in the Hyundai Elantra Forum. Your Hosts are pat & karens
both actually unneccessary but since I have them I find them useful and both are extremely accurate. They both are great on trips to different areas. Other unnessary stuff: automatic windows, automatic transmission, power steering, brakes, sunroof, radio, cruise control, anything larger than a 4 cylinder engine, a/c, auto-dimmer rear-view mirrors, fog lights, and alot more. They are great things to have tho-but unneccessary.

We just purchased a 2007 Elantra SE manual. After looking at practically every other small car, and test driving several, we choose the Elantra. It was not because it is the best car in any one area, but the sheer balance of performance, economy, safety, comfort and features. I have not driven a small car that is as quiet, including the Civic or Corolla. It seems like Hyundai has done their homework.

Replying to: pat (Mar 26, 2007 4:09 am) Logged miles: 0 to test drive; still sitting on dealer lot awaiting our pickup from dealer trade. Initial impressions: - great looking exterior, except for the fixed AM/FM radio antennae (built into window on XM equipped models). - colors wanted like seattle blue are very hard to find. settled for the second choice, only laguna sand color in LA and Orange County, CA. dealer traded. - like all the interior ammenities from lighted mirrirs to heated seats to sunglass/dash holders. - no XM standard as advertised. but available on *later models. boo. - did notice the ripple effect on the new leather on a car with 32 miles on it. - smooth, a little sluggish as expected acceleration compared to my 2003 Sonata LX V6 (161hp), yet quiet for a i4 compared to my sis' 2003 Corolla Sport. - inquired with two local Hyundai service managers about speedometer/odometer issue (see Elantra threads) and they have heard no such reports. will personally observe and see. - thought this was a new engine, but it seems now it's just the same engine from earlier 2006 model.

Replying to: edowado (Mar 27, 2007 2:22 pm) I see rippled leather on a lot of high-end luxury cars. The leather in my '04 Elantra is very tight and smooth-fitting, but Hyundai got knocked on that sometimes ("it's leather, but it looks like vinyl") so maybe that's why they went with the looser leather for '07. Keep us updated on how it goes. Seattle Blue is my favorite also, with the beige (cloth) interior. I'll bet it looks really sharp with beige leather.

Replying to: backy (Mar 27, 2007 2:46 pm) Good point about the leather. My 03 Sonata's leather is all vinly... Looks like I'll be sticking with the Laguna Sand color.
