Have been driving this Elantra X20 for many months, for those who are looking for comfortable family sedan, this is a very good choice, the suspension is tuned to comfort and steady and not bumpy driving. Fuel consumption is good for 2.0 car, the FC is like Altis 1.8 but it has bigger cabin than Altis. The leather seat is comfortable. The sound proof and engine noise is better than Civic, Vios and City.
