it's the family hauler. It's made around 10 trips back home to Ankeny at 300+mi round trip, then a few 500+mi round trips to central Illinois to see family there. With the factory tires we were averaging about 25-26mpg hwy.That’s a lot of driving, about 60mi per day. Maybe you should also get an Elantra to pile the miles on.
2019 Hyundai Elantra?
- Thread starter ISUChippewa
- Start date
2008 Elantra was my first brand new car. $17K. Waterpump went out in 2 weeks (400 miles on it). Smooth sailing after that. I put about 85K miles on the car. All I ever did was change the oil, and put tires on at 50K.
LOVED getting 30-33 mpg. (once got 40+ mpg on a long trip to central MN).
2015 ($6,500)Sold it when the family grew--minivan for the Mrs.
I got to driver her Equinox/SUV.
Sold the Equinox a year later, bought a 2016 Elantra.
GREAT commuter car.

The vixen had a 2006 Sonata that she drove for 12 years. It finally started needing some major repairs (fuel pump, etc) but overall it was a very reliable vehicle. Would definitely buy another one.
All of these testimonials are useless without mention of what color the car is. The single most important factor in car section is the color. It must be a cool color and the color must be assigned an appropriately cool color name by the manufacturer.
ours is called Moonlight Cloud. Looks dark blue or black depending on the lighting/dirtiness .
Do they even make black and white Elantras? I always picture Hyundai’s with weird colors.

Outside of the 2013 model, the Elantra appears to be a very solid car

Pretty much the reason I bought my toy car. It was the right color blue. Le Mans Blue.
For the record my favorite personally owned colors have been:
- British Racing Green, aka BRG
- Ocean Blue Pearl Effect, best Audi color ever. Hands down best car color I've had. And a cool name.
- Guards Red
- Monsoon Gray Metallic
- Meridian Metallic, gives no clue as to where on the color wheel it might reside but it is somewhere between gray and silver.
The only colors cars should be are monochrome...Black, grey, silver, white
Those aren't colors...
Except for my motorcycle (only offered in white that year) every vehicle I have owned so far has been an actual color.
So far it's been. blue, red, blue, red, blue, green.
