2008 Hyundai Elantra Road Test Ratings

Improved driving dynamics and good build quality make the newly redesigned Hyundai Elantra a solid option compared to the Honda Civic.

It's no Honda or Mazda, but it's also no Cobalt or Forenza. It has a very middle-of-its-class feel.

Seats are comfortable, road noise is well controlled.

Like the "Audi-esque" lighting and the controls have a solid feel -- at least by this class's standards.

Good looking and no noticeable build quality issues.
