Exterior - What the Auto Press Says

Reviewers say that the 2010 Elantra’s clean, sculpted styling matches with the design of many of the other cars in the Affordable Small Car class. If you’re looking to get noticed, it’s probably best to look elsewhere. One car that’s worth a look is the Mitsubishi Lancer. It’s a favorite among the automotive press for its aggressive styling, only costs about $500 more than the Elantra and has more powerful engine choices.

• "The Elantra sedan's good looks move this Korean compact car toward the world of the stylish. Its sculpture is clean, with a high beltline running along at the body-colored door handles. It's got a subtle face, with trapezoidal headlamps having rounded edges, leading down and into a cup-shaped grille with three simple chrome bars. At the bottom of the fascia is a long, slim air intake with two bars. It lacks definitive fender flares because it doesn't need them; the Elantra doesn't shout to be seen." -- New Car Test Drive
• "The Hyundai Elantra may not have invented the Cloak of Invisibility, but it's awfully close to having perfected it. Gentlemen, when the ladies look in your direction, they'll see nothing at all. The valets at a fancy restaurant will act as if they don't see you. And-because there's always some good in everything-cops won't notice you. Well, OK, the Hyundai Cloak of Invisibility doesn't work on radar." -- Examiner.com
