The 2011 New York Auto Show is kicking off this week, with new compact car entries that include the all-wheel-drive 2012 Subaru Impreza, among others.

But a strong new contender this year that's already selling fast is the 2011 Hyundai Elantra, which we recently road-tested over our usual route of 300-plus miles. Watch the video at the bottom of the page for our two-minute review.

That test route, by the way, includes both long stretches of highway and a variety of around-town uses, from mall visits to suburban cul-de-saccing, and even a little bit of urban stop-and-go.

We got slightly more than 34 miles per gallon in our new Hyundai Elantra over that period, but gas mileage isn't the only reason to buy a compact car.

What's the new Elantra's interior like as a place to spend time? Is it comfortable? Quiet? Does it offer all the conveniences you'd expect? And is it good value for money?

More: What are some of the surprises you'll find in the Elantra? What kind of info will the car give you about how you're driving, and your own gas mileage?

John-
Great video! So many of these visual "reviews" that I watch now are so uninformative so kudos for giving us actual information! And for using the word "capacious" in a sentence.
