The Elantra car is a great car for young adults and seniors. I like that is very reliable. My car has lasted 10 years. And before this model, I had the 2005 model, which unfortunately, I experienced an accident in. That totaled the car. But I walked away with only a broken arm. I feel completely safe in the car with all the safety features in it. I dislike that it doesn't have enough leg room for my toddler in the back seat with her high chair, and the brakes are very touchy. When someone is not familiar with driving the car it take awhile to get use to the brakes. As I said it is reliable, but speed isn't its strong point. It takes a little to get up to speed. And going up a steep hill it takes a while to go into the right gear.

I like the Hyundai Elantra the size it is compact but not small inside like the Accent. The shape of the car does impede my side vision a little. The slants of the back windows makes it somewhat unclear when you look to the side. It has a lot of trunk space, which I love. You wouldn't think it had that much trunk space looking at the length of the car. It gets good gas millage, a whole tank of gas last me a week; I drive 60 miles a day. I have not had any problems in the two years I have owned it all it has needed is the regular oil change and brakes. To me it is a very reliable car. I do not like the interior seats, but that is because of the color. The back seat isn't big enough for full size adults, but kids fit just fine. I like that it has different driving gears for the steering pressure. You can switch between normal, casual, or sport. The manual shift switch helps when going up hill.
