Great first car
I bought this car as my first "real" car out of college. I was living in CO and wanted a front wheel drive vehicle for the snow. SUVs were too expensive and gas at the time was over $4/gallon. I looked into the Sonata but settled on the Elantra for the MPGs and price. I am 6'1" and fit comfortably in every seat in my car. I've taken 4 people with skis and snowboards up to the mountains in the winter every weekend and didn't ONCE feel like my car was going to slide off the road. If the snow is deep enough, you won't go anywhere, but you will get handling. Now, I live in Florida and the rain is no match for the car. In terms of acceleration, you're not going to get a speedy "whip". However, my wallet is happy that this tank gets almost 400 miles on 11 gallons. The bluetooth and foglight were well worth the upgrade (preferred package). Overall, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat!
