Hello Jurgis, the sweet spot for Hyundai is the lower middle class (Elantra/ Sonata, Tuscan). Those cars are selling very well, they feel well build and very complete in terms of accessories. The cars are somewhat cheaper than Honda but not that much.
I was open to trying the Civic but the trunk is so small and the interior build quality is inferior to many vehicles out there. if you want a used value car, Nissan is the way to go, since their resale value is not as good as those of it's Japanese peers (but then Nissan's are really french cars <g>).
Right now I am driving a Ford Probe 1996 hatchback - I purchased this car when i moved to the US and I bought it cash really cheap back then. It's actually a fund car to drive but it's seeing the mechanic more and more often now and has reached the end of it's useful life. While a two seater, it's a great car to haul stuff around, I could do all errands for many home renovation projects with this car, which includes hauling a complete door with frame- try that with a sedan!
In the mid price sedan range, the new Camry Hybrid is a good value, imo. With hybrids, Toyota still got an edge and the value proposition at the price target for this car seems good. |
