YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 0 Seats mold to your body and they heat up fast which helps in winter. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2012 Hyundai Elantra Seat Room and Comfort: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2013 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
This is really not a con. If they offered the option of a front passenger power seat with lumbar as an option, I along with many others would likely opt for it. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2011 4dr Sedan 148-horsepower 1.8L I4
6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
impossible for me to check rear when reversing. headrests are too big. see full Hyundai Elantra review
