Hyundai Elantra 
Dearest Elantra, we’re wishing you a very happy 20th anniversary on Canadian roads! Featuring fluid lines, there is no shortage of 5th generation Elantras on our market. The 2012 vintage is nearly identical to last year’s, and its 148-hp 1.8L engine is very good on gas. Several trims are offered, ranging from the basic L to the all-dressed Limited. A 6-speed transmission is offered on all.
Pros
- Solid mechanics
- Elegant body shape
- Reasonable road holding
- Powerful brakes
