Best Value Everyday Performance Car - Practical Fun
This is the best bang-for-the-buck fun and practical car that you can buy. Tons of customization and tech to personalize and vary the driving experience on the fly. Incredible amount of options standard with the N package - heated performance seats, totally different suspension, totally different brakes, forged lightweight wheels and summer tires, option of MANUAL transmission or DCT and a turbo engine with power you can use on the road (and more than GR86/Miata). Still around 3,300 pounds which keeps it in the sports car category with real trunk and real back seats (plus 4 doors). My only gripe is about finicky octane learning after every fill up to try and get all the turbo boost...have not gotten this to work yet. Watch videos and study to learn all the semi-hidden settings and features in deep menus and buttons. Makes a daily driver fun and you can take it to the track- all with a great long warranty for long-term ownership. $10-$15K less than a Civic Type R. Drove a 2013 Elantra for 12 years. Whole new level and maturity of car.
