Elantra Limited Ultimate
After my good experience with my 2010 Elantra SE, I thought it might be time to look at a newer model with some of the newer safety features. What I thought I wanted was a 6 speed manual trans. No 6 speeds on the lot in Elantra Limited. But guess what, automatics had a better fuel mileage rating, and you can manually select the gears. Not quite the same, but okay. The clincher was, the Smart Cruise was only available with automatic! So I went with that, I'm a real fan of that smart cruise that will keep a distance behind the car ahead, and brake when it slows down. It will really bear down on the brakes when someone ahead cuts in without enough room and hits their brakes! But with any such safety device I keep my attention at ready, foot near brake pedal. I start slowing down when I see numerous stoplights coming on ahead, far enough that smart cruise doesn't detect them yet. The lane keep assist is neat, and the rear cross traffic alert is good in parking lots! Auto dimming mirror with compass, BlueLink and garage door opener is great!
