I didn't know I wanted an Elantra
My oldest child recently turned 16 years old and obtained his driver's license. We shared a car for a month or so but it quickly became clear we would need another car for optimum convenience as we are a busy family involved in sports, etc. However, shopping for a car at this time was difficult. Usually, we wouldn't even consider a new car but used car prices are through the roof right now! I did some research online and wanted to keep the sticker price under $30K. We decided to hit a few dealerships. I had low expectations for a Hyundai and an Elantra but was pleasantly surprised! We were greeted right away by a salesperson outside in the freezing weather. He had us test drive a used car and a brand new Elantra Limited Series. We were really impressed and decided to purchase it! Now that I've had the car for a month, I absolutely LOVE it! It's so fun to drive, handles well, has good gas mileage, etc. Oh, and another thing I love about my Hyundai? Free maintenance for 3 years, BlueLink, and a 5-year warranty. My 16-year-old wants to drive this car and he will likely ultimately drive it but I wanted him to have a few more months' driving experience (not get any accidents or tickets) before handing him the keys to a brand new car. However, now I'm not so sure I want to give it up! Now, when I drive our SUVs, they feel big and heavy. Not as much fun as my Elantra! I guess we will see what happens...
