As long as you're OK with the angular design, the Elantra has a great deal going for it. The pricing is right and the fuel economy is fantastic. The base MSRP is under $25,00 and that gets you one of the better handling options in the segment and 54 MPG. Want even more grip and some premium touches? That'd be the Elantra Limited. With wider than average tires, one of the few fully independent suspensions in the segment and a smooth dual-clutch automatic, I'm almost forced to ask why some of the hybrid tech hasn't been borrowed for an N or N-line model.
