Reviews Summary

Although its design is now 6 years old, the 2016 Hyundai Elantra remains an impressive entry in the compact car class. Stylish sheet metal that still looks futuristic rather than dated is just a part of the Elantra’s appeal. Roomy, efficient, simple, and safe, the Elantra is loaded with value.

Reviews Summary

Has the world moved beyond the full-size family sedan? The answer might be yes. Considering that a Chevrolet Impala provides just a few inches of extra space here and a few cubic feet of additional trunk room there, but at a cost in terms of purchase price and fuel economy, it's hard to justify a big car’s existence. Yet, the Impala exists, and within its segment, it is absolutely worthy of consideration.
