Second report: Our gorgeous Hyundai Elantra has impressed us with its ability to rack up the kilometres without a fuss.
It’s not just in the city that the car impresses, though. We’ve done a few long runs on the highway as well and the Elantra has proven itself to be a relaxing and comfortable cruiser. Stability at even high speeds is good, the brakes have commendable bite and though there is a lack of power as you go faster, you still have enough in hand to execute overtaking manoeuvres.If I had to nitpick, I’d say that the back support on the front seats is a bit firm, and the Bluetooth is a bit fiddly to use.
The Hyundai has one of those systems where it won’t allow you to sync your phone to the sound system if the car is in motion. It’s a good safety feature in theory but, more often than not, I have to stay stationary until one of my passengers syncs a phone to the system, which can get quite frustrating at times.
Above: The fit and finish and build quality are very impressive and rival cars even a segment higher.
