Hello!

New guy here from Baltimore. I bought a brand new silver 2013 Elantra in October of 2012 primarily to keep the miles, snow, and salt off of my S2000. I'm really enjoying the car though, and glad I switched to Hyundai instead of sticking to Honda when it comes to a practical, efficient car.

I'm not sure what trim level my car is. I would guess GLS, but I know it doesn't have some of the features that the GLS had in the brochure. I assume the 6-speed manual is fully bare and cheaptastic and thus something below GLS, which is fine by me. gleaming.gif

Looking forward to getting to know how to maintain the car once the warranty expires. I've already put 28,000 miles on the car, so that'll happen before I know it.

Only one glitch has occured in my ownership, and that was the transaxle refusing to go into reverse after only 400 miles. Fortunately, it was taken care of very well by Hyundai. They towed it that night, got me in a rental, and put in a brand new transmission after a couple days. No problems since! *knocks on wood.

No badge on the back of mine. It probably was on the window paper...not sure if I still have that though.

Welcome to the club! As far as a manual, one of the things I loved about the GT version is that I could get a fully loaded model AND a manual. That is pretty rare these days unless you're looking at a sports car.
