While the petrol motor is sprightly in the Elantra, it's the diesel which is more fun to drive with oodles of torque on offer. It does have a fair bit of turbo-lag, but once you are on the move, the performance from the engine is simply excellent. The powerband is wide, and it does not force you into downshifting even while the speed drops significantly. The driveability of the engine is superb!

First things first. Handling is not Elantra's forte. It's suspension is on the softer side, meaning it is tuned for a comfortable ride over enthusisatic cornering antics. It tends to wallow on speeds over 130km/h, but that said, it is not feel completely disconnected. The steering, although it lacks feel, is direct. The handling is also predictable. Disc brakes on all four wheel means it's braking is excellent.

I along with one of my friends went to a Hyundai showroom. We selected the Elantra and went for a test drive. I must say that I was a bit skeptical about this car initially but after the test drive to a nearby city my mind changed completely. The company has laid special importance on the aspects of safety and
Great Car at this price range. you have lots of features in this car - 16'' silica Tyre, key-less entry, very spacious, design & looks, seat ventilation, rear seat audio control, dual automatic AC, power and what not... no other car gives you these features. Driving at high speed is certainly better in Octavia etc, but if you see value
