If you considering the elantra, why not take a look at a 1.6 Altis. For me the Atlis trumps the elantra in terms of resale value and reliability. Also Elantra is lacking a few stuff.... the wheels dont really look great and it doesnt have LED :-s If you're after practicality, City or Altis would be a better pick IMO. U want something new, get the Elantra tho I feel the Accent blue is better than the elantra base model.

Also, I can't understand why you passed over the Jazz hahaha sorry I drive a Jazz so I'm biased hehe
