There have been a number of occasions on which I’ve missed a front parking sensor on the Elantra. Tiny omission though it may seem, it’s odd that it’s missing on what is otherwise such a well-equipped car. It would have made squeezing the car into Mumbai’s customary tight spots just that much easier, especially as the Elantra’s nose is quite long and it’s quite easy to misjudge the distance to the car/wall up ahead.

But make no mistake, these tiny niggles have been nothing more than a blemish on the Elantra’s report. It has done what it’s been asked of without even a hint of resistance, and it’s done all of it in style. And yes, the more we drive it, the more we like it.
