Elantra...

I know...that Elantra looks pretty tempting also. We had some overnight service on our Quest, and the dealer gave us a new Sonata, and it was real nice. I'm saving money for now until the Civic kicks the bucket. It's just sad that we're supposed to be impressed by Focus, Civic, and such cars getting 35 mpg, when you can buy a larger sedan that gets 30-33 mpg. Heck...my neighbor's 400hp G8 gets 28-30. My 4300 lb quest gets 24. I guess I just expect better nowadays.
