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
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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
