Reviews SummaryFor nearly 20 years over six generations, the Elantra established Hyundai as a provider of bottom-rung transportation. Not until the current seventh-generation model debuted in 2020 did the Elantra shed its cheap image and stand competitively with other compact sedans from Honda, Toyota, and Nissan. Hyundai always sold on low prices and long warranties. Now the Elantra is a genuinely sporty, well-constructed car that competes on actual substance—namely, how it drives and feels—and offers a wider range of trim levels. For 2024, a mild refresh brings more style and standard equipment. Verdict: Get past the strange bodywork and plasticky interior, and you’ll find a well-mannered sedan that is equally adept at being comfortable and economical as it is sporty and truly entertaining. | |
Reviews SummaryI love spikes in gas prices. Seriously. My Southern California neighborhood gets quiet because all the people with loud motorcycles and fast muscle cars and giant trucks with oversized mud tires stop driving like they’ve got something to prove. When gas prices begin to climb, they'd all be well-served by trading in their gas-guzzlers for a 2019 Hyundai Ioniq Hybrid. When it whirs about in electric vehicle mode, the Ioniq even sounds cool. My second-grader said so. | |
