 I had a 2002 Elantra which I got brand new and traded it in after 10 years of great reliability towards a 2012 Limited Edition Elantra.I've had the 2012 for a year now and I love it.I typically average about 35mpg or more and there are some weeks when I average 43 mpg or higher!Admittedly, there are a couple weeks when I average only 29-31 mpg, but I am VERY pleased with my gas mileage.The car itself is fun to drive and the interior design is beautiful. The Bluetooth is very handy, the seats are comfortable, and the car accelerates fairly quickly.My main concern would be the absence of a spare tire...and the fact that the limited edition tires cost a small fortune to replace.
