This is what Tim Robson liked most about this particular version of the Hyundai Elantra: A little peach of a chassis with real zip and sparkle., Balance of upgrades is just about spot on.
The 2016 Hyundai Elantra carries a braked towing capacity of up to 1300 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
I wouldn’t recommend the Cruze, there have been too many problems with them. The Toyota Corolla, Mazda3 and Hyundai Elantra are all good, reliable cars with plenty of performance for the class. Any one of them would be a good choice.
We test all cars in the real world, on the toughest corners and worst surfaces we can find, and I've been doing the job for nearly 40 years. Hyundai has focussed its suspension work on European-style handling, not a cushy American-style ride, but that's no different from many other brands. For your needs I would probably have steered you to a Nissan Pulsar, but also advised not to buy anything without a proper test drive on road you know.
The Hyundai Elantra 2016 prices range from $7,040 for the basic trim level Sedan Trophy to $18,150 for the top of the range Sedan SR Turbo (red).
