Hello all:

After way too much research, we finally picked up our brand new 2013 Elantra GT, on a 36 month lease, last night. Previously we had a 2008 Sonata, GLS model, for a 24 month lease, which went very well. Overall transaction went very well, we dealt with Millenium Hyundai on Long Island. We didn't want to settle, and so the dealer had to find the equipment & color combination that we wanted. The wife would have been content with White with Camel leather, while I wanted the Blue, also with Camel leather. Style & Tech package. My luck, the Blue came in first. My car, my color, good start! Got a drive to NJ today, so will enjoy the XM radio and GPS. So far, so good. One day down, 35 months & 30 days left.

 

SWEET!! First one in this forum. Be sure to post some pictures.

 

For this, I must enlist the services of my daughter, who has an iPhone. Put on about a hundred miles yesterday, along with the first fill up. First fill yielded about 32mpg. I am not driving is hard, my goal is to achieve the highest mpg I can because that was one of the reasons I moved from the 2001 Honda Odyssey getting 16mpg. Off to a good start. Picture later, if I can get it done.
