The 2023 Hyundai Elantra Limited Exceeded my Expectations
I was a bit apprehensive about retiring my 2012 Elantra with nearly 200K miles, but I didn't want to risk another transmission repair. The leather seats in the 2012 model held up exceptionally well (which is why the Limited edition is the only choice for me). I do miss the light blue color and briefly considered having my 2023 model repainted to match, but the silver/bronze color has grown on me. I do wonder whether the new leatherette material in the 2023 interior will hold up as well as the 2012 interior did. The car has all the power I need, and the air conditioner works well even during Arizona summers. I like how it has an updated technology stack, and the dash display is so much better and bigger than the comparable Toyota and Nissan models. I do worry that it might require an expensive repair after the warranty is expired. I get lots of compliments on the car. I am not a big car enthusiast, nor am I into conspicuous consumption. But for my money, the Elantra Limited is essentially a luxury vehicle.
