Great bang for the buck

Could not be happier with my 2008 Hyundai Elantra SE. I was convinced a new Honda Civic was in my future until I started to read consumer reviews on the Hyundai and check the warranties on both cars.

Had I taken the Civic equipped the way my Hyundai is outfitted I would have paid between $2,000 and $3,000 extra.

Standard features include factory XM radio, tilt and telescoping steering wheel, audio and cruise control buttons on the steering wheel. Alloy wheels, leather interior with heated seats all for under $18,000.

With about 2500 miles on the clock fuel economy is about 28 city and over 35 highway. Smooth ride on the highway and nimble in the city.
