Driving to Winnipeg Beach tomorrow for the weekend, and I’m trying to think whether it’s better to take my car or my girlfriend’s.

Elantra GT Pros

  • Better fuel economy and it takes regular gas
  • A bit more room
  • Comfortable and proven as we’ve done the drive in it before
  • Not a cop magnet

Fiesta ST Pros

  • It’s mine, not my girlfriend’s, so I don’t care about putting mileage on it
  • Wouldn’t have to leave it parked at her place
  • Pops and burbles when downshifting
  • Bangin’ sound system

My partner’s stance is “whatever”, but I’m still hemming and hawing. What say you?
