I drive a 1999 Hyundai Elantra. Yes, I know. You’re wondering how I managed to get my hands on such a sweet set of wheels. Well I’ll tell you, it wasn’t easy and I feel lucky.
The car’s been a pretty solid car overall. It’s quite reasonable on insurance costs, though I think we need to compare car insurance rates again this November to see if we can do better than what we have.
There’s a lot of reliability in this car. But it’s not just about reliability. It has a sweet am/fm cassette deck that lets me listen to those awesome songs from the 70s that nobody likes on Q104. The seats are adjustable both forward and backwards.
There are also some great speed streaks and simples along the sides. The streaks are etched into the clear coat to help the aerodynamics of the vehicle along with the speed dimples. The dimples are formed when the specially designed doors receive pressure from other people’s doors in parking lots. They’re designed to increase as time wears on so as you lose horsepower, the aerodynamics improve to maintain your fuel mileage.
My favourite part of our car though is that it came without loans. That was a big deal for us. Yeah we bought an older car, it looked a little rough around the edges and it had a lot of kilometres on it, but it was paid for. That was the best feature of all ![]()
