Plus the Elantra has more front leg room than the Mazda6. If you really need those extra inches of steel and plastic outside to call your car "mid-sized", go ahead. To me, it's what's inside that counts.

Replying to: backy (Jul 03, 2008 10:32 am) I was offered one at invoice. Decided the more than $5k savings for a similarly equipped Sonata was a much better deal.  Not to mention I perfer the Sonata's driveability over the Accord's.

Replying to: mcdawgg (Jul 03, 2008 8:41 am) Just because Toyota is selling x number of its Camry units, doens't mean this segment is too easy for them. This is probably the toughest segment of all, especially now since every brand is likely putting their best efforts into their midsize product. Also, all midsize sedans are benefiting to some degree consumers trading down to a fuel efficient car from mostly SUVs. |

Replying to: backy (Jul 03, 2008 10:30 am) It certainly is an important factor, not the only factor. A car that is about 3 inches narrower inside, for most of the interior width meassurements, than the Mazda6 (which many call cramped) is not a midsize. But if width is important, then I guess the Elantra is definitely mid-sized. Ah, but don't forget that the outgoing Mazda6 is called "cramped" by many.  Edmunds classifies both the Elantra and the Prius as compacts. I tend to agree with their opinion on this. Maybe you'd like to try convincing them that the Elantra is misclassified, despite it's "compact" exterior dimensions.
