Used Hyundai Elantra for Sale in Charlotte, NC

The biggest news for the 2014 Elantra is a 2.0-liter direct-injection four on some models that boasts 172 horsepower. The Limited, though, carries on with the previous 145-hp, 1.8-liter four mated to its standard six-speed automatic (several other Elantra trim levels offer a manual transmission). In sedans, the 2.0-liter only appears in a new Sport model; the coupe and the GT see wider application. Without the power upgrade, the Limited feels pretty familiar, which is to say, the power is merely adequate. Drive quality remains lazy from an engine that doesn't much like to rev and a transmission programmed to help maximize fuel economy rather than fun.

I leased this as my first vehicle that I ever paid for on my own. I wanted something affordable as I was just graduating college and would also have to pay loans. I opted to get the 2016 Hyundai Elantra without all the bells and whistles. That means I had no back-up camera, no heated seats, and no Bluetooth. After driving a company vehicle for a year and then switching to that car, I feel as if I have went many years back in time, even if it's a 2016.
