2009 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 The 10 year/ 100,000 miles warranty is un-beatable. I spoke to couple friends & co-workers who owns KIA or Hyundai, they all said the warranty is great, but they never needed it anyway. A reliable car with great warranty, no other auto makers can match. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2005 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Hyundai has gone from bottom of the bucket to top tier automobile in--my opinion--less than 10 years. To me, this fact alone speaks volumes about the company itself. The Elantra is a fantastic competitor to the Civics, Sentras and Corollas out there. see full Hyundai Elantra review
2003 4dr Sedan 135-horsepower 2.0L I4
5-speed manual FWD		 5 year 100000 warantee see full Hyundai Elantra review

2006 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4

2010 4dr Sedan turbocharged 265hp 2.5L H4
5-speed manual AWD		 Subaru is known for building good quality cars for a good price. Their zero landfill plants make the WRX a more environmentally friendly decision than the Prius (even with only 25 MPG). And of course, their symmetrical AWD, which surprised even me. see full Subaru Impreza / Outback Sport review
