2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Can fit my two young children with their car seats and my teenage son has room to sit in the back and text for hours. More comfortable seats than my extended cab 1500. see full Hyundai Elantra review |

I find it to be very comfortable. The back seat lacks leg room for three people to fit comfortably. If an adult is in the front then the person behind has little leg room. see full Hyundai Elantra review |

2013 | 4dr Wagon turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
at 6' 3" the rear seating with sun roof is a little tight. If you are taller than me do not plan to spend much time in the rear. see full Volkswagen Jetta SportWagen review |
