Great daily driver, small gripes

Decent, but not outstanding
Solid car that does its job without exciting me. Ride comfortable, easy to drive, safety features work well. Interior materials feel a step below the price point, engine noisy when pushed. Reliable but not class-leading.

Surprisingly fun to drive
Bought for practicality, expected dull. Wrong. Chassis is genuinely sorted — accurate steering, good body control, eager engine. Makes you look forward to driving.

Standard kit is generous — heated seats, wireless Apple CarPlay, blind-spot monitoring, and rear cross-traffic alert all came as standard. Build qua…

Family road trip approved
Just returned from a 1,200-mile round trip in our 2023 Hyundai Elantra with two children and a labrador. Couldn't have asked for a better companion. Boot swallowed everything we packed, rear passenger space was comfortable even for a ten-hour day, and the fuel stops were infrequent. Kids slept most …

Solid choice — does most things very well
The 2023 Hyundai Elantra hits a sweet spot for me. Refined enough for the motorway, economical enough for commuting, and practical enough for family duties. I'd have rated it five stars but the infotainment system has a frustrating habit of not connecting to my phone immediately on start-up. Softwar…
