You’ll like this car if high mileage is a must and regular is your gasoline of choice; its 28/36 city/highway EPA fuel economy numbers trump the Volkswagen Rabbit’s, for example. If safety is your issue, the Elantra offers front, side-impact and side-curtain airbags, plus antilock brakes (ABS), as standard equipment.
You may not like this car if your daily drive demands constant gear shifting, as the SE’s five-speed manual transmission tends to be notchy.
