Looks exactly like this press photo, a 2014 Hyundai Elantra with the "Plus Package". All that means is that I have heated seats plus a bunch of other options I'll probably never use.

I looked at a lot of cars but for 19,200 bucks total (taxes,tags,etc) you can't beat the value for a small/midsize family car. I can fold the back seats down and fit my mountain bike in the back...so it's all good.

Gonna have to wait for 5 years to get my mid-life crisis car, helping our 20 year old son with college (we pay half) takes priority over a fancy sports car. He gets to inherit our 2000 Saturn SL2 and he is very happy about this as he has to pay for his own gas...he was driving a 2002 Taurus with the 24 valve V6....he was lucky to get 15 mpg.

the best part is that it works on ANY car. not just your hyundai. and it hold up great. we had it on the roof of our A3 from toronto to thunder bay (about 1600km, or 1000 miles) whenever we stopped, we doubled checked the suction cups were still holding, and kept going
