Why drive a 2017 Honda Civic when a 2017 Hyundai Elantra is on the market? It’s the equivalent of buying food from Taco Bell while in Mexico instead of eating an authentic dish from a local restaurant — something you just don’t do. If you do, you’re paying for something that’s not only going to […]
