A review for the 2006 Hyundai Elantra. These appear frequently on your typical BHPH lot and with good reason. They generally are dependable, roadworthy, easy to maintain and inexpensive. This is the year of a body style change which is a little more eye appealing. however, one doesn’t buy an Elantra for its design achievements. It’s purchased for its track record of reliability

Pros: Dependability and low cost

Cons: Not a gas conscious as its predecessor

A review of the 2004 Kia RIO. These South Korean imports are gas conscious and inexpensive and they offer a viable alternative to more pricey Toyota, Nissan, and Honda comparable. They aren’t the most attractive vehicles, but, if properly maintained, will keep you on the road for a long time.

Pros: Inexpensive and roadworthy

Cons: These offer little resale value and tend to rust easily.
