It may not be the biggest but I'm 6'4 and bigger kind of guy but I fit in it comfortably. As far as behind me goes not to bad nothing lounge like but good enough. For the price of the value edition you can't beat it. Drives great looks great. Haven't been in it to long but so far so good

i have now driven my Elantra a little over 10,000 trouble free miles. It continues to be an excellent car and one ill buy over and over. The engine is quiet and efficient averaging 35 mpg in all types of driving. Overall the car is very quiet in all situations with very little outside distractions. For the money the Elantra is the best buy going with all the features that others charge extra for.

60k miles in 2 years

I drove from CA to NC, totaled about 60k miles and loved this car. While driving 99% of highway (cruise at 65pmh) was able to get up to 49mpg. I thought it was a mistake but was able to confirm it while driving cross country. Bought it used with 30k miles and sold it at 93k miles, I did oil changes every 3 months or 5000 miles and never had a single problem, I'm a mechanic so I service it myself, every service I checked for leaks couldn't find any, beside oil changes I replaced spark plugs at 60k miles and tires at 75k miles, brakes could easily reach 110k miles. This isn't a race car so engine isn't meant to be crazy powerful. Mine was the base model, I installed a Bluetooth and a 8 inch tablet with a basic mount( from amazon) so I could have maps and music looking fancy. Only reason I sold it is because I want a sports car and can't afford 2 car payments. I would highly recommend buy it used with 2 years or under 30k miles and go for the 6 speed automatic, no dual clutch. I will miss this car so much.

Limited is near luxury car bargain

Shopped a lot of sedans before deciding on my Elantra Limited. Two years on still very happy with my choice. Civic was main contender, but it was spartan by comparison-even in its top (Touring) trim level. The Civic's leather did not even match between the front and back seats! (perforated front, smooth in back- WTF?). Unlike Civic, the Limited had memory power front seat, passenger height adjust, dynamic (aiming) headlights, lumbar adjust, and more. Longer warranty, and better reliability ratings (Honda ain't what it used to be). Braking is better with the Elantra, and handling is a wash. The ONLY thing the Civic offered was more power (optional 1.5L turbo), and that costs you $thousands more (actual street prices). And my actual mpg's (gals per mile traveled) easily beat EPA estimates. Consistently been 38-39mpg on 20+ mile commute 75%hwy/25%city. Long trips are 42-44mpg at 70-75mpg. (I chart every tankful for business purposes).
