Just a correction to the reviewers in this video before I share my sentiment of the car: That 2019 version of the Elantra that you all disapproved of is NOT of its own generation; that was the 6th generation, the same generation as the 2017 and 18 version of this car that you all extolled, just with some remodeling. So that generation actually lasted three years in total. I will agree with you, however, that that particular triangle headlight version of the generation didn't seem to last long as you all noted properly people seemed to take a dim view of it and it was reported to have low sales.
Getting on to my feelings on the 2020, I think it definitely has a lot of razzle dazzle and fits well as a competitor in the current extravagantly styled market, so I give it high scores. I definitely appreciate the grooves in the vehicle's side body. Too many cars these days look plain Jane across the car's exterior body so I'm definitely fond of some activity in the car's side body, a common practice of the 1980s and 90s.
Just a few things I have hope they've addressed with the hyundai. Now I have the 5th generation of the Elanta (2016) mind you--which still remains my favorite--back when this model of the car had the fluid design. Now I had to replace the tires that Hyundai uses for the car because, at least on the Elantras, they're very poor quality and have lots of complaints across The Web. They can't hold up on any sort of slick pavement and are an accident-waiting-to-happen. Hyundai very seriously needs to stop going for the snazzy looks when it comes to their tires and account for a semblance of safety as well. I had to spend a lot of money for sure-fire Michelin Tires, some of the best tires out there.
Another thing, these car companies (not just hyundai) need to address that loosey-goosey shark fin antenna design. It might look nice but a lot of people, myself included, are having issues with those things coming off very easily. The car wash broke mine off so I had to have it taken in and repaired professionally, which apparently is an in-depth process where they have to detach the headliner and go from under. Also, my generation of the hyundai, as much as I love it, does a big wobble over certain types of bumps so hopefully hyundai has addressed that issue in the newer cars as well.
