Hyundai Elantra – Buglewicz's Opinion:
Shoppers in this segment would do themselves a huge disservice by skipping the Elantra. It's not without its faults, but there are no real deal breakers in the mix, and a lot to recommend. The interior is huge, cleanly styled and classy, the exterior is distinctive without being goofy, and there are features galore. The drawbacks are few: a noisy engine under acceleration and at freeway cruising speeds; steering that's too light and sensitive; hard plastic on the door panel tops where soft should be. But overall it's a very good car, easily competitive within its class. I'll admit it wouldn't be my first choice, but I wouldn't talk anybody who wanted one out of buying it.
