Which small family car is best: 2010 Hyundai Elantra, 2010 Honda Civic or something else?
Both cars are reliable but the better car is the Hyundai. It’s bigger, especially the interior, so it’s more comfortable, has a much better warranty and undercuts the Civic by like $2000. Just as a side note my 9 year old Elantra has 155,000 miles and the most reliable car I’ve ever bought. IMO Honda’s name supersedes it’s actual quality. Not a bad car at all, just overpriced for what you get. For the price of a mid level Civic you can get a fully loaded Elantra. No real reason for getting a Civic. Don’t be surprised if you run into a lot of Honda fan-boys that will say stuff like “Honda’s last forever, everything else sux”. Not good to be so blinded by something that you ignore the facts. None of them are perfect but mostly all of the car companies nowadays makes a decent car.
