To some, this is important. BMW, however good their cars might be, conjures up images of lawyers, trophy wives, and young hotshots who inherited their father's estate. I think I can make a fairly accurate assumption that most customers buy BMWs for reasons other than their unrivaled driving dynamics. I know some, who would never be caught driving a BMW due to that very reason. Doesn't bother me much, and the M badge also adds an air of seriousness to the vehicle. see full BMW 2-Series review |
Hyundai Elantra GT Brand Reputation: Cons | ||

2013 | While Hyundai's reputation has come a long way, it hasn't been fielding top-ranked sport compacts for decades the way Volkswagen and Honda have, and consequently it has little cred among driving enthusiasts. Buy a Hyundai Elantra GT and you'll have to explain your choice in a way GTI owners do not. Buyers of the new Civic Si might have to defend the exterior styling, but otherwise shouldn't encounter much blowback. But the Elantra GT? Friends and family could have doubts. For those who don't care for the obvious choices, and who find diamonds in the rough appealing, this could be a plus. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review |
