2012 Corolla vs 2012 Elantra

[nemisis]

It's proven reliability with Toyota vs hyundai ignore their track record and only see the 2013 model when making a decision. If I getting a gift I will take the Hyundai if my money jumping out then Toyota all the way

[dougla_boy]

"I wish I had bought the fully loaded Corolla instead of a Jetta. The corolla is so fast, has more features and better looks than any car in that price bracket up to $240K. I get passed all the time on the highway by Corollas. Who is willing to trade me their 1.8 Corolla for my Jetta? Please? I need a Corolla in my life"...said absolutely noone

*waves from over on the super side of the pump*

Because you all have bought in to marketing and advertisers for something that doesn't exist.

[cinco]

of course i have since i never owned a toyota or nissan or mazda or kia or driven any other cars

[toyota2nr]

You still haven't answered the question.

[dougla_boy]

u still eh answer mine

[MG Man]

Because you all have bought in to marketing and advertisers for something that doesn't exist.

good grief
let's see........I've had extensive seat time with four generation of corollas, new civic, PCA-model lancer (dunno what they call it), RAV4, MINI Cooper (R50), Austin Mini, MGB GT, MGF, Chevette HSR, Mazda B1600, Mazda BT50, Datsun 720, Audi A4, had fun with a Cerato Koup, new Golf GTi, MINI Countryman........you really gonna try and convince me what I feel is marketing hype?
Corollas are understated in looks, interior, and underwhelming in driving / handling....they get you from A to B...that's it.........the old PCA Lancer was much more fun, even with the CVT

BTW you still haven't told me where and when you bought a Corolla with an MSRP if $73k.............

All I will say is after experiencing boost I will never go back NA unless it's with a big displacement engine. Power ontap at will which you just never gonna get in a 1.8 Corolla. There are other differences but that's due to the suspension setup and probably is for another thread. If fuel economy is what you want you can also get that too. best of both worlds performance wise and fuel economy wise. I just can't fathom buying a Corolla at the same price with less features.

[dougla_boy]

totally......

Crix, one specification you should never buy a car on is number of airbags. They are part of the suplimentary restraint system. Could be that a car had shiddy crash test rating, and they put in the airbags to raise their rating. Look at how many airbags a yaris has compared to a corrola. When looking at safety, look at the consumer reports safety rating, not "safety features"

[MadCrix]

true good point. but I

1 to lazy to go search and see what the ratings are
2 really really too lazy

[whyteliver]

reliablilty,resale value-toyota
pure sex appeal-elantra

[MG Man]

still trying to fathom this resale argument.....the new elantra is well............new...........nobody knows what the resale will be in 5 years.............what was the price of a new NZE 5 years ago, and what's the value now?
As someone already said, resale values on the Tucson ain't too shabby.......

Me too.

[Rory Phoulorie]

Paid $69,000 for a Hyundai Accent in 1996 and sold it 10 years and 343,000km later in 2006 for $22,000 (was advertised for sale right here on 2NR). That wasn't too bad.

Resale value does not mean much to me when I am buying a car as I keep my cars for a very long time. What counts is what I am getting for the price and the reliability. I am on my second Hyundai now and have no real complaints other than Neal and Massy not stocking normal preventative maintenance parts for my car. But I import most of my parts out of the USA at significant savings over what N&M charges.

The new Elantra blows the Corolla out of the water in terms of what you get for the price.
