From another [thread.](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=593703) Bold is mine. > [@Any Hyundai owners here?](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/any-hyundai-owners-here/568202/28): > > On my second Elantra, a 2009. > > I tested almost every car in its class when I bought the 2009 and for my needs it won the competition very easily. It is also a substantially better than than my previous Elantra, so they might be better than they used to be. > > On the con side, to get that out of the way, it’s an economy car. The ride’s smooth enough but it’s not a luxury ride by any means. > > On the pro, everythng else. For money-for-features ratio was the best in the class, it has the most interior room **(great for a guy like me - I’m over six feet tall)** and I’ve had few problems with it, and the warranty’s sensational anyway. > > It does, however, depends on what you want and how much money you wanna spend. If you wanted a nicer ride and were willing to spend more money but stay in the compact class, you might prefer a Mazda 3; for me that wasn’t the right choice because it’s pricier and just wasn’t as roomy, aspecially in the back seat (I have a little girl.) > > Test 'em all, I says. But in terms of quality it’s a good car. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/in-the-market-for-a-tardis-sort-of/568468)._
