Adding another new car hunting thread to BITOG!
We are having more problems with our 2009 Hyundai Sonata, with the more significant recent issues being:
- failure to blow air to the feet.
- body seam rusting and leaking water into the cabin under the rear seat and into footwell.
So, I am on the lookout for a replacement vehicle.
We'd like a hatchback with four doors for utility. I realize these tend to be poor highway cruisers, but that's ok because my 1997 i30 is still our highway cruiser, and we need a short hop everyday use vehicle that's efficient and easy to drive.
Some of the choices on the market are:
- Honda Fit
- Mazda2 and Mazda3
- Toyota Yaris and Scion xD
I'm sure there are more, please add your suggestions.
This is a class of vehicle in which I'd love a manual transmission, but my wife will be the primary driver and she finds an automatic easier.
Having our four year old Hyundai with serious problems already, I long for something simple and reliable again. I appreciate your thoughts and insights.
