Is a Hyundai Elantra a good first car?
I’m taking my daughter to the dealership next week to pick out a car for her birthday. We’ve been talking about the Hyundai Elantra as a possible option, but I want to know a bit more before we decide.

I’m sure your daughter will appreciate the extra research you’re putting into this car purchase! The

Elantra is a good choice for a first car—it’s affordable, reliable, and has great safety ratings. Let’s take a look at what the Elantra has to offer:- Starting at $21,245 (2022 model)
- Five-year/60,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty
- 10-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty
- 4.5/5.0 reliability rating from RepairPal
- Expected to last over 150,000 miles
- Top Safety Pick rating from the IIHS
- 5-starNHTSA safety rating
- Combined 38 miles per gallon rating
