I have a 99 elantra it seems like it should change out gears quicker than it does. If you let off the gas it will change out otherwise it take a few seconds longer.

The transmission shifts based on engine speed and vehicle speed (or more precisely, input and output speed of the trans), and throttle position. I believe you may have a power-normal button on this car. Check to see if it is in the normal position. If not, put it there. It is designed to change the shift points to either a sporty or economy style of driving. Also, if it won't accelerate properly, you may have your foot depressing the accelerator more, which will delay shifting to the next higher gear.
