Honda Civic or Hyundai Elantra GT

Help me choose new a car. 2013

I am prepared to wager that the Civic will hold it's value better, regardless of how much more comfortable the Elantra is to drive.

which one would flip over in a crosswind? find that answer and pick the other one

ford focus or fiesta both in ST trim.

wicked fun hot hatchs..

i like the elantra and the accent hatches… i test drove an accent hatch in the old generation and was very close to buying one, but then I moved to kelowna and needed a truck

All questions like this should read:

NBR, I'm picking between two cars. What are your thoughts on all other options that I've already eliminated for my own reasons?

I've been driving the '12 civic, pretty dull but good. Can't remember which trim level, work vehicle. Wicked in snow with blizzaks.

I'd probably go with the civic - purely for resale value down the road.

If you're open to other options, I just bought a 2013 mazda 3 - 6 speed manual - zippy, fun to drive, and better fuel economy than your two choices.

Whenever I see one stopped I am expecting about 20 clowns to get out. Too bad the current generation is so ugly, what were they thinking. The previous ones were so sexy. It's almost like the car was designed by Toyota or something.

Lease a TL. ..

PROFIT

I'm a hatchback guy, way more versatile. My wife has the Elantra sedan and it's a great little car but beware of the gas mileage. Haven't got below 8L/100km's yet after 32000kms. Steering is a little vague but the GT has the adjustable steering so that's an improvement. Quality and build is as good as the Civic so far and is a much nicer looking car imo. I'd go with the Elantra GT.

I'm assuming you're talking about the mazda? Everyone's got their opinion. Personally (being a biased owner) I like the look of the new generation hatchback 3. And, it's actually a bigger car than the older models… so I'm sure you could fit at least 21 clowns in it.

Scoobaroo ftw of course
