    Bought this Hyundai elantra coupe this weekend. Its a 2014 with 19,000 miles. Very clean and gets great mileage. Has plenty of pep and all the creature comforts I want. I had a Hyundai accent before and that car ran forever with no issues so thought I'd try another Hyundai.

    Thanks. Got kind of a sporty look to it. I looked at Honda civic coupes but they just wanted to much for them and wouldn't haggle. I found this on autotrader about 100 miles away. It sat on the dealer lot for almost 3 months so they were willing to negotiate a lot. I will keep posted on the mileage. I filled it up Friday coming home from the dealership and so far the instant average is showing mid to high 30's per gallon.

    So what's the biggest tire that can fit on an Elantra without trimming? :p

    Just a mpg update. I drive 48 miles round trip to work. Mostly back roads. I'm averaging 35mpg over several tanks now. The readout is pretty much right on. It reads 35-37mpg all the time. Car has 2 liter, 6 speed automatic. Very happy with this little car so far. I'll post another pic or 2 soon. I have added tinted windows and a pin stripe, front and rear mud guards and a cargo mat. That should have given me 10+ HP... :burnrubber:
