Note to the mods, my stuff no longer comes up, and there is no longer any link at the top of threads to save a thread for future reference.

Click on the down arrow beside your login name, top right of the page. Options galore on the drop down.

Are you kidding me, 6k km OCI? Would never buy that car. Talk about waste of money on service cost.
I have a civic and the oci is 20k km or one year

Not kidding.
I have 2 KIAs with same OCI requirement. Given my tough driving environment, I'm ok with 6k.

I think that is something to consider. The Elantra 2.0 does not require anything special oil and takes 15 easy minutes to change. No fuel dilution like 1.5 Honda engine to deal with. For me 30 minutes a year and $30 for oil and filters would not be a reason to buy a Honda. For someone else it may be a deal breaker.
