Practically everything except the engine and tranny imo, I'm talking looks, size, space, ergonomics, interior, maybe even resale. The Elantra is good, maybe even very good but the trade offs are obvious, plus it being a late release here, means its like a generation behind the Civic. which makes it a difficult choice for the discerning.Practical Civic? Let’s quantify that. I assume legroom civic wins? Boot space? How else is it more practical.
But seriously what’s with the gaudy red seats, it really does not go well with the exterior design language. I think just black with red piping would have been sufficient. Was it a Hyundai decision or a Sime Darby decision.
I have no idea who signed off the red patches to be honest, It may just be an APAC thing though. Will ask Hyundai if it can be opt-off the checklist when I see them next
