I purchased my 2009 Hyundai Elantra about 4 years ago. Since then, it has been one of my favorite cars I have owned. It handles perfectly (will all season tires) and is great on gas mileage to and from work. I drive it nearly 15 miles every day to work and then on trips interstate and for long distance. So far the car has not failed me and I have put almost 60,000 miles on it.

My Elantra has really grown on me, as I guess most first cars do. I bought it from my grandparents, and it has been a good, reliable first car that I love very much. I have the odd pleasure of driving an older car with very, very few miles (an 01 with ~65k), and it's held up pretty nicely. I named her Shelby, and we've been best friends from my junior year of high school all the way to today where I'm about halfway through college.
