Man i wish i couldve drove a brand new ride like that when i turned 16 in 1991. Instead it was a 79 Buick Century slant back with the back windows that didnt roll down!!!!
Happy Bday to your daughter. Lucky girl to have parents of the sort like you.
It seems like it has a lot of the options of my 05 LS(bluetooth,camera,nav). Is my car obsolete now

Excellent choice.
This car makes all others in the segment look boring and dated. And 40 mpg standard without the need of a special high efficiency version like the Cruze and Focus is truly impressive.
Hyundai is the new benchmark. There, I said it.

Congrats on the new car. A couple of months ago we bought a new daily driver and the new Elantra was one of the final three cars under consideration. I test drove one a couple of times and it is a nice small car and will do well in the segment. We went another direction with our purchase but it did get our attention.
BTW, C&D just did a comparo with the new Focus, Mazda3, Elantra and Jetta.

I then graduated to an 87 GMC Jimmy with the never ending, or repairable, oil leak.

My first car was a beat up '60 Pontiac with no reverse when is was hot or was it when it was cold?
I don't remember.
