I was looking into getting one in January, I sat in one and it felt pretty nice but the inside was all plastic-y and my dad didn't feel very safe sitting in it since he's a tall dude and he felt if someone crashed into his side of the car he would just be dead in an instant. I'm not really sure what it's safety ratings were but I really liked the look of it and I have a lot of friends with Elantras that love them. I'm sure they're good cars, and have a good price.
My mom has a hyundai tuscon so i understand the plastic feel but honestly it doesn't really bother me. Guess I'll just have to look at it in person.
