Should I buy a Honda Civic or a Hyundai Elantra?

I have a choice between a 2011 Civic with 30,000 miles for $11100, or a 2012 Hyundai Elentra with 32,000 miles for $11,000.
The Elantra has more toys, such as xm radio a usb port and audio controls on the steering whee, and is still under warranty.
The civic is still a Honda which at this point has a proven track record and to me drives a little better than the Elantra.
To me reliability is the most important, I want a car that if maintained well will last with the least amount of costly repairs. Has anyone had any experience with these cars. Which one will give me what I want. Both seem to be a good price.

I would get the Elantra for sure, I have owned 4 Honda's and now have a 2001 Tiburon with 165,000 miles on it (which I got in used in 2003). The engine still runs strong on my Tibby, which is based on the Elantra body.

Hyundai quality has come a long way plus loads of teens have Honda's…

According to me you should buy "Hyundai Elantra"

I personally wouldn't touch a Hyundai /KIA.

Personal preference. The Honda will hold its value better but if you are going to drive it for more than 5 years, it doesn't matter.
Both should be reliable, assuming they have been properly maintained.

  • Should i get a 2005 hyundai tiburon gt or a 2001 honda civic ex? I'm debating whether getting the 2005 tiburon which looks better with red, but has 133k miles on it. Or the 2001 civic with 90k miles on it. Both are coupes, have leather seats and moon roof. Both are around 6k cost. both are in great condition and which is better for resale
  • My old Elantra beat a Honda Civic in a race. How is that possible? I could hear his engine roaring and he was way behind me. I didn't add anything to my hood or anything. I thought it was pretty funny because he had the spoiler and everything and I didn't have anything. The civic was a 2010 or so by the way. It looked fairly new.
