well, my sis has. she just bought one last week. and i am, i have to admit, impressed. the little bugger is loaded right up. heated leather seats. power sunroof. power windows, locks and mirrors. automatic transmission. 6-way adjustable drivers seat. in-dash fuel consumption info. remote keyless entry. a/c. traction control. abs. 4-wheel discs. nicely styled alloys. an impressive warranty. and all for under $22,000 canadian before tax. it's a fantastic bargain. is there a cheaper car with heated seats? i was shocked!
throughout her decision-making process (i give her credit... for a non-car person, she really researched lots of vehicles) i was unable to suggest any GM's that matched the elantra for value. she was insistent on a vehicle that size, mind you, so something like an impala was out of the question (a great GM value, in my opinion). i think the cobalt is going to be very competitive in that market, but that little hyundai is leaps and bounds ahead of the cavalier. and i know at any given point in time some cars are recent redo's and some are older, but the elantra isn't the freshest face on the block, and yet still pretty competitive.
