All in all, Hyundai has created a compact sedan easily as good as any of its competitors, with a full array of standard features besting them all. The Elantra's superb styling, class- leading performance and user-friendly functionality, sets it apart from its piers. The fact that it can be purchased for a paltry sum is the icing on a well-baked cake. If you're in the market for a compact car, make sure you give the Elantra a drive. You might just be as impressed as I was.
