Just bought a used 2011 Hyundai elantra today. 40 mpg up to 47 on the highway. I have to drive 60 miles a day to work. The pick-up at 14 mpg finally was just too much. Plus the pick-up is 14 years old and I was going to have to get something a little newer anyway. Hope it is not a lemon. Dang I hate driving a car. I have drove a pick-up and a standard since I was 15. Sigh.
The Elantra is supposed to be a pretty decent car. You probably have some kind of Warranty on it, even if it’s used.
I’m still driving my Civic with 154,000 miles. Runs great. Gets about 30 mpg.
