2016 Hyundai Elantra - It is a great handling car, great gas mileage, and lots of nice interior features.

This car handles very well. It is great in both city and highway driving. I really like that car accelerates extremely well in both city and highway driving. One thing I really like that was a problem in some older cars that I have owned is that when I accelerate in highway driving, there is absolutely no hesitation. This ability to speed up quickly make this a really great car for both city and highway driving. Although we live in the suburbs, we do spend a fair amount of time driving to and from rural locations (apple picking, berry picking, etc.). This car is also great for parking in the city. It is very easy to parallel park with this car. It has a fairly small foot print, which makes it easy to find parking spaces in the city. Finally, the this car gets really great gas mileage d...

Story

I love driving this car to the local park. I usually transport my dog to the local park in my SUV. However, one time I had to use this car because the SUV was at the shop getting new tires. My dog usually sits in the front seat and can easily see out the front window. In this car she had to put her paws on the front panel...she spent the whole time sniffing the car trying to figure out everything.

Pros

Excellent gas mileage. Great handling/steering. Easy to park. Lots of great interior features, including GPS and rear camera. Lots of storage room.

Cons

A little more difficult to handle in winter than my SUV from the same manufacturer. This car has a low profile/view to the road compared to my SUV. Not as much storage room as my SUV.

2013 Hyundai Elantra - It's been a good car for me so far, even though it's had a few problems.

I initially chose this car because it has a great safety rating, and was one of the most popular cars at the time I bought it. I have not been in any accidents in this car so I can't speak to how it actually holds up, but there are a lot of other things I like about it. The car has great style; it looks sporty even though it isn't. It's cute and easy to drive. The interior has held up pretty well, considering that I am not the best at keeping my car clean. At almost 60,000 miles, I haven't had any major repairs necessary.

Story

The first time I drove this car in the snow, I still had the stock tires on it. I had a very difficult time getting up the hill on my street, and ended up getting stuck just outside my driveway in about 2 inches of snow.

Pros

The best things about this car are the style, how easy it is to drive, and that for a small car I can comfortably fit four adults. It's cute and sporty while still being practical. It has a great average gas mileage. Again, I'm impressed that I haven't had to do any major repairs at almost 60,000 miles.

Cons

There seems to be an electrical issue with the car. I've had to replace both headlights, and all three of the tail lights. There are also several other accessory bulbs that have blown. Occasionally the battery drains for no apparent reason, even though the battery tests as good. I have to carry a jump pack in the car just in case. Also, it's not great in the snow. It performs about average. It does have traction control, but I often have to disable it in order to get going on a slippery road. There are no other special features (such as all-wheel drive) to help in slippery conditions.
