I Took Her Down The South Coast
Samantha Brits from Hyundai is a darling, as her slender fingers extended towards me dangling the keys to the clean blue SAGMJ Car Of The Year 2012, I took a breath of anticipation, I had not yet driven the Hyundai Elantra. My best friend Ben and his darling wife Sammy were visiting their family holiday home in Umtentwenie and they had invited us to spend the weekend with them. I could not think of a better opportunity to test drive the 2012 Car Of The Year. On first inspection of the interior I could see why my fellow motoring journalists had been so enamoured with the Hyundai Elantra. The layout of the dash and instrument panel was beyond just being unique; it was decidedly exotic and refreshing.
Out on the open road and it became even clearer to me why the Elantra stood out above the rest of the contenders. Clean smooth powerful acceleration produced a really comfortable ride and the smooth short shifting gears added to the overall ‘total control’ feeling that the Elantra gave me. Besides the eye catching “wind sculptured design” of the Elantra’s exterior, the refreshing interior treatment and the eye popping consumption figures, every aspect of the Hyundai Elantra delivered that little bit more than is usually expected. So do yourself a favour and test drive the Elantra, you will be surely be pleasantly surprised.
