Sorry about your dad too. I have had that car as a rental and also a Kia something, Rio maybe, very tiny and underpowered. The Elantra I had had some sort of ecoboost and never got over 1,000 RPMs the whole time I had it. Awful.
Last time I had a Jeep Renegade. Top of the line, the 4x4 model, etc. What a piece of junk (built on the same platform as the Fiat 500). The sole redeeming quality, which I absolutely loved... when you turned the steering wheel left or right the headlights would "turn" (I think they just lit up some additional elements) so you could see around the corner. If I ever get a new Porsche (or any new car) that feature is now a must for me
