2006 Hyundai Elantra GLS 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 5M)
I've always driven manual cars, Honda Preludes, Toyota Celica but times changed and I bought this car my first 4dr, and it's a jewel. It's not fancy it's functional since I could not afford a Prius. My only complaint it's too low to the ground making certain curbs and deep snow, and potholes a major challenge. The seating is very low and very uncomfortable. With so many trucks and SUV in this area, my car has been hit three times in there years, meaning it's low to the ground the big guys back into my car though parked and take my bumper or leave a major expense to the back of car.
Economical, space and basically zippy for a manual 4cyl
Interior seating way too low and to low to the ground for driving in snow, and defending the big ol brutes of BIG RAMS, etc.
