Default New Car Advice Please?

I am looking to buy a new car and I am trying to narrow it down between three different car manufactures. I am looking at Toyota Camry, Hyundai Elantra, or Honda Civic.

I own a 2003 Hyundai Elantra right now and have 88,000 miles. I have been happy with the service of the car but I have had two problems with the fuel system and the emission system and it took weeks to get it repaired after several trips back to the dealer.

I like the price of the Hyundai the best but I am not sure if I want to get another one.

Any advice or opinions on which would be better?

Well among all three cars I would go for Toyota Camry because of it looks and service. Atleast in India Toyota Camry have good records.

For Honda Civic, it has some problems in fuel system and in India there 4500 cars called back to change Fuel system after complains in South Asia.

If I were you I'd get the camry, for one I just like toyotas better. Its the best looking out of the 3 and it also got the Motor Trend's 2007 Car of the Year Award and its got great MPG. Good luck.

Im purchasing a 2008 Mitsubishi Lancer GTR CVT brand new. Would that be a better cause than a Civic or a Camry or something

Yes. Mitsubishi cars are a lot more sporty than Toyota and Honda (except the S2000). Good choice if you have to stick with imports.

Between the Toyota, Hyundai, and Honda I would go for the Toyota personally. It's a larger car so realistically it's more practical than a Civic, and for reliability it is right on par with what you would also expect from Honda. For the Hyundai it totally depends on what year the car is. They've been getting pretty good lately but I've heard some snide remarks for some of their earlier cars. On usability however I would assume any Hyundai you get will be similar at least to the one you currently own which would make transitioning rather easy for you.

Have you thought about any other makes such as Nissan or Mitsubishi?

As with any DSM, if you go for the 3000GT try to get the VR4. Why settle for front wheel drive when there is an all wheel drive version available? If you can find an Evo, jump on it though.
