I have driven the Hyundai Sonata (6sp AT) and loved it. That sixth gear turns real slow, and it will drop into 5th and 6th and cruise at quite low speeds. I got great FE. The Elantra with the 6sp AT will be as good or better (I checked gear ratios once, but don't recall specifics anymore). I also rented and LOVED the 2016 or 2015 Chevy Sonic (AT). I am looking to buy either of those as an extra car since my daughter is getting close to driving age (thanks god!)

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
