So true, some folks would live on potatoes just to afford a fancy car. I’ve only had one new car in my life, all the rest were used but ran well.
@HyundaiEnclave
Yeah, I live in California with high rent and all. Just doing my best.

Should’ve gotten a used Toyota or Honda and saved yourself some trouble.
@Lausanne
Should’ve learned to mind your own business instead .
@Lausanne
Haha. 99% of people who take care of their cars won’t have problems, no matter the brand. I still have my 2006 Sonata, and it’s running great. How’s those car payments treating you?
What model is this? Hyundai is so weird… My '24 Elantra has the same cluster and steering wheel as my '23 Tucson. But my '24 Sonata has a different wheel and cluster.

This is the 2025 SEL Sport.

2025 models usually come out in September. You can either get the latest or buy last year’s with a rebate. I haven’t bought a brand new vehicle in a while; certified pre-owned has been good for me.

I went through a bad used car experience recently. The private seller had rolled back the odometer; body had 200k, engine maybe 150k, but showed 82k on the dash. Plus, Carfax found 5 accidents when I thought it was only one. Never again, man.
@CyberVoyager
That sucks, nothing wrong with buying a brand new car that you love, congrats! I don’t drive much anymore, so I stick with certified pre-owned. My last one had 27k miles, came with an extended factory warranty, and still smelled new.
@Austin
That’s the way to do it. I’m just nervous about used cars after what happened.
@Austin
Bought my '23 Sonata in May, saved $5k off sticker. SEL hybrid, $32.5k down to $27.5k. If you can find a leftover, you can still get a good deal.

Depends on the trim. My '23 Elantra Limited looks a bit different.
@NeonNinja
The Elantra I have now is a loaner because my Tucson is at the dealer for the sixth time due to an airbag light. I’m not sure of the trim, but it’s probably mid-range. Compared to my other two, it’s not great, but I love getting 39 mpg. That’s probably low, but I always follow the speed limit… Yeah, that’s it…
@HyundaiEnthusiast
I average around 48 mpg, but mine’s the hybrid. Looks like you’re in an SEL, which is mid-level.
