New in 2011, the Hyundai Elantra has become a top pick for commuters in an uncertain economy. Cars.com recently featured a ranking of ‘Best Value: Price to Pump’ vehicles, and – not surprisingly – the 2011 Elantra topped their list. They considered cars with the following factors: minimum of 35 mpg fuel economy, seating for at least five, and a MSRP below $20,000. 
From PRNewswire: “With unrelenting gas prices and continued economic uncertainty, our shootout couldn’t be timelier in terms of what car shoppers are looking for,” said Patrick Olsen, Cars.com editor-in-chief. “In fact, four of the five models that competed have been among dealer’s best sellers in April and May. Based on our results, every car shopper looking in this segment needs to put the 2011 Hyundai Elantra at the top of their consideration set. Not only does this car get 40 mpg on the highway, the Elantra also has refined styling, solid handling, a comfortable interior and incredible affordability for all the features that buyers will get.”
Three days of testing by experts at Cars.com, USA Today, and a Chicago-area family were completed on eligible vehicles. Cars.com’s ‘Best Value: Price to Pump’ rankings placed the Elantra #1, above Chevy Cruze, Honda Civic, Kia Forte, and Ford Focus.
