The ride quality of the Elantra is one that people will be impressed by. The seats are comfortable and in a position that allows for the person to avoid that feeling of stiffness and soreness after being on the road for long amounts of time. Furthermore, the passengers won't be complaining either. The sound from the outside hardly penetrates the cabin which means that the quietness that people want when driving is also a quality of the 2011 Elantra. However, on the downside, the car is made for comfort, not speed. Those that want a car that is of high performance are not going to find what they are looking for with the 2011 Elantra. The car is great for those with families, however, for people looking to have great take off power and so forth, should look elsewhere.
The car is being compared to many offerings by Lexus in the level of luxury that the car brings to the table. However, with the price as it is, the Elantra has the benefits of being a smart buy along with a pleasure for the driver. The only other drawback that professionals have noted is that the brakes are a bit on the touc
hy side, meaning that without meaning to you could come to a complete standstill when you really only wanted to gradually slow down. However, with all the good points, the drawbacks do not seem to be as much of a problem for those that are interested in the car.
