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

Lumbar in the base model. Good side bolstering on bottom cushion and through the shoulders. Large range of adjustment and the wheel tilts and shifts. see full Nissan Maxima review
