Goremaster
[..YouTube..] Its a game of inches when your in the back seat…thats for sure.
Goremaster
[..YouTube..] @udayakumarudaya4 Totally, if you don’t want direct injection, a six speed auto or progressive styling and prefer a mile re-hash of last gen’s model! It’s great.
jonsimcoe
[..YouTube..] Great video. You and Emme definitely represent the best female car reviewers.

[..YouTube..] @gadgetguy4000 Umm duhh of course they have high trim levels its so you think your not buying something so cheap.. Its still a Hyundai. Hyundai makes a few ok cars but the Elantra isn’t one of them..
soyntgo4it
[..YouTube..] @gadgetguy4000 Haha.. Mitsubishi is in high water if they don’t bring up their sales so you can’t say much. Its another Brand that will fade itself out soon enough. Please Jettas are a joke they are junk they are always in the shop stupid engineering so stop lieing. The 2012 Civic hasn’t been out long enough to have problems umm remember they has a natural disaster and all the dealers had none.. Stop giving me your B.S.
gadgetguy4000
[..YouTube..] @soyntgo4it im not done yet you cannot say the civic is more reliable the mitsubishi is wayy proven to be more reliable LOOK IT UP! if you have a civic everyone and im not saying this everyone assumes you were too poor to buy something else… the only point for civics are to be driven by people who dont care about cars, but for me im a car enthusiast and i dont want a car thats as boring as a 12 hour straight grade 11 biology speech

[..YouTube..] @soyntgo4it The elantra does have on higher tim levels btw and the civic is black while others can be different and honda is just making cars for money the others are doing it for people and for the joy!…the civic looks ok while the other have line going all around the body. The other cars will not break down they just wont last as long and besides my uncle is already having problems with his 2012 civic while my moms 2005 jetta tdi has had not a single problem…

[..YouTube..] @gadgetguy4000 Haha ok..Umm goes for the 3 you just describes again they use hard plastics too. What makes those 3 exciting they are pretty generic to me. Theres nothing exciting about the Jetta or the Elantra nor the Lancer. For the fact that the Civic is the most reliable out of all 3. I’ll be driving my Civic when your in the Service Dept waiting for your car to be fix every other day.. Psshhha
gadgetguy4000
[..YouTube..] @soyntgo4it you dont get what boring means do you? it means average nothing special it doesnt matter if its outsold every car on the north american market. youre saying if you want an exciting car get one thats been around for a while…NO! if you want an exciting car see what grabs your eye!! the civic is a huge thing of black hard plastics, theres nothing special to the civic, the jetta elantra and lancer are all cars that will blow civic out of the water when it comes to being exciting

[..YouTube..] I will buy any car you tell me to, Elizabeth.

[..YouTube..] @Partok81 The thing is that people in the market for a Civic Si don’t care about any of those things. You shouldn’t have even be looking at a Civic Si if you got a Camry.
That’s kind of like saying you got an SUV because a Lamborghini is too rough and small. The market is different for the two cars. Two different price levels, and different types of cars.
soyntgo4it
[..YouTube..] @gadgetguy4000 Haha seriously if you think a Civic is boring your not in the right state of mind then.. Civic has been around longer and way change something so drastically on a car that has out sold and last longer than all those cars you have described. Ya that’s boring alright..pshhha
gadgetguy4000
[..YouTube..] @soyntgo4it its boring because its ugly, boring to drive since my uncle has a 2012 civic, interior is bland and no flare, and just because the car will last a few more years than the others, doesnt mean its exciting…its a civic and when people hear that they think ‘normal’ not fancy or tasteful…BORING

[..YouTube..] @Partok81 Less resale value? On a Civic? Hyundai may have a long warranty but there are a lot to that warranty that people don’t know about they need to read the fine print they think oh it has 5yr 60k bumper to bumper you will be shocked what you read and find cause its not bumper to bumper. Also the warranty is non transferable the most you get is a power train warranty for second owners only. Honda you get the remaining of the warranty. Elantra and Civic are about the same.
Partok81
[..YouTube..] @soyntgo4it Well you got me on that price point. But for that matter a Hyundai Elantra is cheaper than the EX Civic. And it gets better mpg, more room, better warranty. The point is your still getting less resale value, room, power, smoothness, trunk space, automatic trans gears (5 vs 6) than Camry. So I guess one has to place their own value on lower price & better mpg. If $ and equipment are all thats paramount for you, get the Hyundai Elantra Limited. Good luck shopping.

[..YouTube..] @gadgetguy4000 What is boring about being the most reliable out of the 3 vehicles you described?
