2004 Hyundai Elantra 4-door

For the tiny price tag, this car is a fantastic deal!It offers me great gas mileage, asks for very little in the way of maintenance, and is as reliable as the sunrise!I bought this car new, and in the almost 4 years that I've owned it, it has NEVER given me a moment's trouble.This car starts on the coldest of days without a bit of hesitation, even on days when larger, more expensive cars are having problems kicking into gear.

The only caveat is that it's not for large families.Although the back seat comfortably fits 2 car seats, there is no room to fit anyone or anything else back there at the same time.But the trunk is roomy and spacious and can fit a week's worth of groceries for my family with ease.

If you're in the market for a great little car that's affordable and dependable, this may be the one for you.
