The Elantra's great. Fabulous warranty. Handles smoothly. Really well designed inside, and it feels like a much more expensive car than it is. Tons of storage nooks and cupholders. *g* Not the most powerful car, but what do you expect for the price? And the gas mileage isn't quite as high as they claim, but hey. Same could be said of most cars. If you get one, don't get the factory CD player, which kinda sucks. Go for the clearcoat paint, because the paint can chip easily. This is the second Elantra I've owned, and I've been very happy with both of them. Hyundais are great because they have such a crappy reputation, so the company works that much harder to make them wonderful.
(Plus, very few people have Elantras, so you won't have the problem of driving the same damn car everyone else does. ;)
