Reviews

The Hyundai Elantra was introduced in the early 1990s, but it wasn't until after the turn of the century that this Korean compact sedan really came into its own as a competitor for the Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic and Nissan Sentra. A 2007 redesign aimed to make the car even more competitive, and the latest Elantra boasts more interior space than nearly all of its rivals, according to Hyundai.
