Hello, I just signed up to these new forums after browsing and searching with no luck at all. Firstly, I want to say that I am purchasing a Hyundai Elantra GLS auto with pop equip. package. From my test drive i felt it was a nice little car that seems to be good on gas. Does anyone get more then what the EPA says localy? After 2 weeks of bargaining with the dealer they have settled at 13.2k and $600 worth of gas. Is it a good deal? Has anyone changed the oil in there elantra? The sales men was telling me that the oil filter was very accessible, yet could not find it. I have changed oil in my Acura and Honda, which both are a pain to get to the filter. The last question I have is: is the key chipped? OR can I just go out to walmart and get a copy of the key made. My other cars have chipped keys, but I am not clear on this car.
Thanks :liebe011:

My daughter has an 08 Elantra. She easily excedes the EPA estimate for highway mileage. Most of her driving is a combination of highway & city driving.
The oil filter is easily accesible. It is removed from the bottom.
She has 12000 miles on the car so far without any issues.

OK, Thanks That knocks off a few questions, A few more to go!.
Thanks
Kumar

UPDATE: I just got off the phone with Hyundai and they told me the key can be coppied anywhere or from the dealer for $5.99. They told me that if I lock the car with the remote then i have to unlock it with the remote also. I asked her if there is a way to disable it, she told me no. BUT, i think there should be a way to disable it. (also, if you lockit manuly then you can unlock it manualy.)
Thanks
Kumar
