Help my mom pick a new car
So my mom's husband has epilepsy and flipped her mazda 3 with her in it when he had a seizure so she needs to get a new car.
She's trying to stay around 17-20k for a car but would consider going a little bit over. She puts 20-25k on her car yearly as she travels a little for her job.
She's looking at Toyota Corolla S or Hyundai Elantra. Both auto. I told her to consider Mitsubishi Lancer. She doesn't want another mazda. Which car do you think she should buy or are there any others you would recommend?

Has she considered the new Ford Focus or Fiesta? Pretty decent little cars IMO
I believe both are within her price range..the fiesta is probably lower but you can get a pretty loaded one for $20k

She talked about the sportiness of her Mazda 3. The road noise, suspension, handling, acceleration, etc. She should have picked up another one or just gotten a used throwaway car because she'll end up retiring in a couple years and this thing will be loaded with miles. I'm curious to see how hyaundai holds up though.

Yep both Kia and Hyundai have been making incredible improvements in just the past five years....Toyota and Honda should take note of this.
