My uncle (in-law) has owned several hyundia vehicles - he loves them. Great warranty - 5 yrs bumper to bumper, 10 years powertrain - Just bought my wife an elantra based on his praise of them. She averages 38 mpg (car tracks mpg) and spends most miles as soccer mom driving only a few miles back and forth. We drove to east coast for visit and got 40ish mpg while on freeway.
Uncle is on his third SUV (can't remember model name), trades them in at approx 75k miles and has had no problems.
We looked at used (better option as mentioned in previous post - Dave Ramsey says - let some other schmuck pay the overhead)... Honda accord w/ 40k miles cost more than new Elantra. We paid just over 17k after T&T fees.
They are comfortable enough to drive to east coast w/o squirming too much - lots of leg room both front and back - huge trunk - I'm not big on bells and whistles but it came standard w/ power W/D/L - in dash info center w/ mpg, tripometer, distance left in fuel, temp, oil life... IDK, a bunch of info... steering wheel controls... Oh, and there's an "ECO" function that shuts half your cylinders off once you reach operating speed - but you decide when to push the button - so you dont have power issues when merging w/ traffic such as freeway on ramp...
All this and I spent the first 30ish yrs of my life as a strict GM guy... what's the world coming to?
