You will love the Elantra. It is a great care for the money, and very economical.
My daughter got a 2012 Elantra and we have a 2011 Sonata. We have had our Sonata one year and still love it. The styling is great,they are comfortable, sporty and responsive. Also highly rated by Consumers Reports.
Before then I had Chrysler minivans for 25 years.
“We have had our Sonata one year and still love it.”
Just bought my college age daughter a new 2012 Sonata. She love it. She drove the toyota Camry and Honda Accord and much preferred the Sonata over them. Got the 2.5. She was driving a 2004 VW Beetle prior to the Sonata. While the VW was a drove and rode ok it was expensive to maintain. I just got tired of dropping so much money keeping it up. So, no more VW products for me, ever.
We drove several vehicles and were ready to buy a Ford Focus , until we drove the Elantra. The Elantra is down on power to the Focus but the Elantra has way more leg room and feels much larger. I preferred the Focus styling but my wife wanted the Elantra, so that was that....
The Elantra was a few thousand dollars cheaper as well.
My better half drives an ‘85 toyota pick up she bought 20 years ago.
Full size bed in the back and gets 31 MPG.
Registration in Maine is based on original sticker price. Her tags are down to 25.oo per year.
People keep buying foriegn made products. You think the U.S. can survive if we don’t produce anything but debt? We are living on debt so we can buy China made products and Asian products. We are losing the ability to manufacture high tech products like the kindle , smart phones, pcs etc.
