Not What I Hoped For
I chose the 2013 Elantra over a Honda Civic, and I have lived to regret it. The biggest reason I chose the Elantra was the outstanding gas mileage, which has not been as good as advertised. I'm lucky if I average 29 mpg no matter how and where I am driving, and that is much lower than what I expected. The car itself seems cheaply made, as I had to get my entire bumper replaced when I hit a raccoon. Inside, I am pleased with the sun roof, heated seats, and Sirius XM radio, but I still wish I had gone with the Honda.
