My aunt purchased an Elantra because of the pandemic. She was dead set on the Accent hatch because she rented one a couple years ago and loved it, but was surprised that it was discontinued.

Sedan Elantra. She went to the nearest Hyundai/Kia dealer and closed that day. It’s red and seems like a nice commuter for somebody who is retiring this year.

I have zero complaints about how the digital cluster and infotainment on my 15 S60 looks. Maybe it could use more anti aliasing, but it does the job

I also look for excuses to use my TI-89.

Wait hybrid is standard?!?!

Sign me the gently caress up. I won’t be in the market until next year at the earliest though, by the time I get to it there will hopefully be an AWD option. With the tailgate down I should be able to get a washer and dryer combo up there, right? I am perpetually carting appliances in older trucks I have access to.

It looks like there is already an AWD option.

I don’t think it’s the hybrid though. After doing five minutes of soul searching I’ve realized that fuel economy and low cost of entry are more important than AWD to me.

I was formerly a farmer and this is all I ever really wanted on a truck. The US Ranger has a chassis cab variant but only RWD. Getting a ute tray is a big ask apparently.

This is a result of when it exists in time. Had this car been born 30 years ago, it would have topped lots of the charts. In 1992 I would totally buy a 2022 Mirage. It's just that we expect so much more of a car these days.

I have one disappointment in the Mirage, and that is the current cool colors are all gated behind the CVT :eng99:

What the gently caress is going on with the little rear window slit above the big body colored metal?
Is that a safety thing? It looks dumb.

See here. About half way through the gallery, there is a big dumb white rear end pic.

I think the new one has electric power steering for the first time - I’ve only ever had hydraulic off-road, but on road it should be just fine like everything else (except Vinfast).

I have an outdated infotainment system for even when my car was new (2015) and the best part about it is that it’s unobtrusive and never crashes. Weird and clunky UI, sure. The “skip forward” button advances the track, and the features that can be annoying (aggressive lane departure warnings and parking sensors that get triggered by rain) have physical buttons that turn them on or off. It feels like that’s still a high bar for next model year.
