Good commuter car
Can anyone recommend a good commuter car that is safe (to cart kids when needed), small but big enough to fit 2 car seats and fuel effecient? Looking to buy a car to use to commute to and from the city every day.

Re: Good commuter car
I have a job that many of the staff have to do a lot of field work.
Several of the staff have the Hyundai's mentioned and they seem to be reliable cars, fairly inexpensive and decent on gas.

Re: Good commuter car
I just traded in my Hyundai Elantra yesterday...because I wanted a small suv. BUT I loved it...it was good to me. I had 130000 miles and it was 7 years old. I would have totally stayed with Hyundai if when I went to the dealer, they weren't a bunch of jerks :) My mom is on her third hyundai, my husband has an accent, as well as my sister. My first car was an accent too. I have 1 ds, but have taken 2 carseats in the car at one time. If you are tall, 2 rear facing ones are going to be tough, but once DS was in the convertible it was fine!

Re: Good commuter car
I have a Prius. I get 53 miles to the gallon and I love it. Up until last week it cost about $34 to fill up. I commute from Centereach to Ozone Park every day and also get to use the HOV lane. I fit 3 carseats across and the trunk has tons of space.

Good commuter car
I used to have a Honda Civic which was VERY fuel efficient and lasted what felt like forever. When I sold it it had over 140k miles on it and was in great condition.

I had a Hyundai Elantra for 12 years until it finally kicked the bucket (totally my own fault, I let the timing belt go for too long). I went with Kia bc they are essentially the same as Hyundai but slightly less expensive.
