I have to buy a boring car.
3 years ago I bought my first 4 banger. It is a 2010 Elantra with a 5 speed that I picked up for 4000 Canadian. It had less than 100,000 KM at the time ( 60,000 Miles ). For me the grocery store is a 60 mile ( 100 KM) round trip. It has been fun to drive with the 5 speed and very reliable. I have only had to do front brakes this spring and regular oil changes since. It starts first shot every time even at -40 and not plugged in, save the plug in for the Ramcharger.
The only thing I do not like is it is very tail happy in the snow at highway speed.
It has paid for itself in fuel mileage twice over. I will buy another one when this one is dead but as it is now that won`t be for 5 years or more.
