I upgraded from a 2010 Nissan Altima to the 2022 Hyundai Elantra SEL this past Wednesday. This car is everything, stylish, has a sport appearance, an eye catcher to say the least lol.

The new Elantra is shockingly well equipped with a lot of tech for the price.

[@RaitisRides]

I know right! They are bringing the heat!

[@cyrano661]

Don’t worry, there’s always a trade off somewhere. It’s not the tech that’s important, it’s what’s underneath the hood. Kia and Hyundai know they can’t compete with Honda and Toyota in terms of quality and reliability so there going the tech and design route. Which is fine for most people because most people lease for 3 or 4 years. Don’t see a lot of 10+ years Hyundai and Kia on the road. At least not here in Canada. But lots of civics and Corolla.

[@CDalonzo]

@@cyrano661 I beg to differ, although this particular model has a CVT, which I have to say is a total zonk, the reliability on Hyundai and Kia has been pretty good over the years. I know tons of people who have old Hyundai’s and kias and they love them to this day and only do regular maintenance (oil changes, brakes, tires, etc.). I think the reliability ratings will go down for these cars that use these CVT transmissions. Me, personally I’d rather go for a car that you can get with a manual and learn how to use that than buying a CVT any day of the week.

Just bought a 2023 Hyundai Elantra less than a week ago. Had 45 miles on the odometer. Still had the plastic on a lot of the components. The whole thing, with all the fees and fixin's and taxes and the whole shootin' match out the door for right at about $27k. And to be honest it's like waking up and still being in a dream every day. It's so comfortable, nice, and most of all, smooth. It's like piloting a shuttlecraft. Worth every goddamn cent. Just a fantastic, amazing, awesome all around car. Smooth and quick, and quiet, and comfortable, and to be honest. I truly believe it's the most beautiful car in the world...for under $30k. It just looks so beautful and sleek and fast. I got blue with black rims. I can't tell you how happy I am. Every day I wake up and I actually....until I get work up real good, I honestly think either the car was just in a dream or that somehow someone is going to come take it away form me because I'm not supposed to have something like this.

16 inch steelies with wheel covers used to be the base wheel of a lot of mid-sized family sedans not that long ago. So 16 inch alloys on a lower trim compact sedan isn't too bad. It will also help with the ride and fuel economy. The N will probably have 18 or 19 inch wheels...
