Although not on the top ten list for this year, I'd be hard pressed to not pay the $425 more and get a Toyota Corolla instead. I wonder if the Elantra comes with a spare tire.

Edit:
The Corolla gets 32/35/41 mpg.
For another $1,450 more, the hybrid version gets 46/50/53 mpg.

At $4 per gallon the total cost of fuel and car would cause the Toyota Corolla Hybrid to break even with the Chevy Trax in exactly 3 years, assuming a person drove 15,000 miles per year. I drive 20,000, so more like a little over 2 years.
