I haven't driven an Elantra since my brother totaled my 06' GT in 2012. I remember the Elantra GT as being one of the most comfortable economy sedans I've ever had the pleasure of driving.
I just recently drove the 2014 Elantra sedan via Zipcar on a business trip to Philadelphia. The Elantra comfort factor has really slid downhill. The seats are now unbearable. In addition to being rock hard. They have two ridges in the side that are in the wrong place and poke me in the back. The seats also put you super low in the car making visibility poor and the arm rest is all the way back meaning I had to hang onto the steering wheel with both hands.
I have another Zipcar 5 day trip planned for next week in Los Angeles, but someone got into an accident with the car I chose and now I'm stuck with another Elantra. The Elantra was so bad on my last trip that I am actually considering upgrading to a Caddilac STS for $100 more to avoid the pain.
What the hell happened? Elantra used to be awesome. It's a disgrace!
