I have a 2002 SantaFe , temporarily reached 105 mph then backed down ,

I don't usually drive very fast, however I have an '07 Hyundai Elantra that
I've had up to an indicated 90 mph. It felt relatively at ease at that
speed although I've noticed just a tad bit of oversteer at times over about
60 or so.

07 Sonata Limited with 17" wheels
110
Very stable. I was amazed at how solid it was. If it was legal to drive at
that speed, I'd have maintained it or gone higher with confidence.

Elantra 02.
95MPH
After 90 mph, steering fells funny (shimmy).
Santy 03 3.5L
Long straight bridge, going down, no wind, around 120MPH, had to pull off gas, end of bridge and the Law radars there.
After 115 mph, wind noise too loud, everything else OK.

I have had my 2006 Santa Fe up to 100 mph, not bad handling is a bit soft,
My Elantra I had wide open at 110 mph, and it handled great, drove it for
extended periods just under the mph clip

1. 2006 Hyundai Sonata GLS V6
2. A GPS verified 135 MPH (indicated was about 138 on the speedo)
3. Extremely stable for a street vehicle. It seems that at about 100 MPH
or so this car really hunkers down to the road, although I can't really
explain why. The brakes are extremely good until about 120 MPH, which I
believe is the limit of safe use. At they work, but just barely.

That should have been "above that speed they work, but just barely.".

Just don't tap them if you are on cruise control at that speed

I used to own a Mitsubish Precis, the equivalent of the Hyundai car
that Rodney King was busted for driving at excessive speed in L.A.,
his beating by the cops was videotaped and resulted in riots.
Anyway the Precis was a dog, poor acceleration and a cop pulled me
over for going at 80, actually we were doing a sedate 65, but fast car
had passed us and I think this was caught on the radar.
After a little lecture and contrition we were allowed on our way.
My 2001 Elantra holds the road at 85 with no problem.

'99 Elantra 5spd at just over 100 mph developed a little shimmy that
backed me down. Engine sounded a little unhappy. It goes all day at
80/85 without a whimper though.

2005 Elantra
120 mph
very stable, no float, rock solid.
I caught hell about posting this info some months ago, but on a trip
from Dallas to Ohio I followed a guy for over 300 miles. It was in
the middle of the week about 3:00 am and not another vehicle in sight
going through Arkansas. Slowest we went was 90 mph and most of the
time it was about 110 mph. Got it up to 120 now and then when the guy
in front got to fare ahead.
