Sigh.

Hyundai Accent.
IMO, it's a thing of beauty. No electric parking brake, no touch screen, all routine maintenance items easily accessible. Built better than the old Cobalt, has about the same performance, gets about 10-15 more MPG.
2500 pound curb weight. Fits four adults. All ya need.
The Elantra has grown up. The new model is nearly as large as my daughter's 2017 Sonata. Although it's also designed to be easy to service, it's much more complex.
The other choices were the Toyota Corolla (too ugly), Honda Civic (none of the local dealers had the base model or knew when they'd be getting any), Subaru Impreza, and Nissan Sentra (no local dealers had any idea when they'd be getting a Sentra and the Impreza might as well not exist).
There's no manual available in the Accent this year. First car Mrs. Ghost every owned that has an automatic.
I could be happy with a car like that, even with the automatic. It does what it's supposed to do and nothing more.



The blissful counterstroke-a considerable new message.
