In a shootout done by Cars.com, five cars were so close in quality, features and drivetrain that it made it difficult for the judges to decide which car was the best. Between the Ford Focus, Kia Forte, Honda Civic, and the Chevrolet Cruze, the Hyundai Elantra came in first place! What the judges seemed to like the most about the Elantra was that the interior was tastefully designed, and not overdone, to match the fluidic design of the exterior. Not only were they impressed by the total design of the car, they were also impressed by the smoothness of the ride and the quick response that it had. All in all, the redesigned Elantra is a beautiful car that gets an impressive 40 mpg, has a base price of $17,760 and is one of IIHS to ten safety picks.
