Hyundai Elantra Among ConsumerSearch.com’s “Best Reviewed”

[Hyundai NEWS]

The researchers at the ConsumerSearch.com website have a different way of rating today’s cars. First, they scour key resources to gather reviews from both the automotive media and the general public, then they rigorously analyze the data to develop their own recommendations. It’s like having your personal team of experts do your vehicle research for you. And unsurprisingly, this unique way of rating vehicles turned up a unique entry as the “Best Reviewed Economy Sedan”: The Hyundai Elantra, the only gas-engined compact in the U.S. to top 40 mpg highway with both a manual and an automatic transmission. And remember, Hyundai’s all-new compact also gets a stellar 29 mpg city and 33 mpg combined.
“The completely redesigned 2011 Hyundai Elantra represents such a big improvement over its predecessor that it has become the best-reviewed economy sedan available,” said ConsumerSearch editors. “Reviewers are unequivocal in their adoration of the Elantra’s distinctive styling, good ride, upscale options, high-quality interior and exceptional fuel efficiency. It is the combination of these qualities, paired with very competitive pricing that makes it a reviewer favorite.”
Specific advantages of the Elantra, according to ConsumerResearch.com’s analysis:

• “The 2011 Hyundai Elantra has redefined what an economy sedan can and should be.”
• The Elantra is “stylish inside and out.”
• “Performance and driving experience are as good as or better than the competition.”
• “The icing on the cake?” The Elantra’s affordability; in fact, the Elantra has the lowest base price of any mainstream compact in America.

“The 2011 Hyundai Elantra offers a superior combination of fuel efficiency, value, quality, performance and comfort,” said Brandon Ramirez, senior manager of product planning, Hyundai Motor America. “Elantra is at the core of Hyundai’s fuel-economy strategy and truly stands out in the competitive compact segment with ‘class-above’ mid-size car interior volume, a new 1.8-liter ‘Nu’ engine mated to a six-speed manual or automatic transmission with an EPA estimated 40 mpg highway, and a low starting price point of $14,945.”
