I bought this car before the new model came out, so I saved a lot of money over the new version. The car does not have many of the details that more expensive and new cars have, but I did not need that. All I needed was a reliable car for my very short commutes when I do not ride my bike. Also a car that could handle putting all my sports equipment. And so far this car has done that and more.

I really like how much leg room there is in the Elantra. I have ridden both as a passenger in the back seat, as well as driving the vehicle. There is plenty of space in both places and the vehicle does not feel like a compact sedan. The interior looks a little more upscale than other compact sedans I have been in made by other manufacturers. The dash also looks modern and pretty. The sound system is great for having no upgrades.
