Boxhead,

There are plenty of pundits who will happily spend your money, me included, but in the end Glen speaketh the truth...

In my experience girls like cars that have a "smile" on their front grill.

To me the sedan Subie Imprezza looks much the same as the Elantra, but if you check it out closely the front grill of the Elantra turns up in the outer edges, forming a "smile".

Don't be put off by the Hyundai branding, while their reputation is not Audi level, & while it wont pass Adronikos's Euro styling test. I can vouch of several mechanics & tradies who swear by them.
I know of one builder who bought his daughters Hyundai (so she could upgrade) & has been using it for work to lug concrete, bricks, mortar, other materials etc... trying to kill it so he can upgrade himself. He has even stop servicing it & stop changing the oil in it for probably 2 years now. He swears his never had a problem with it and that, I quote "the b!tch wont die, farrken!"

All the best,
