I’ve considered other cars but have set my sights on the Hyundai Elantra 2009 car since it fits my budget compared to the Corolla and the Civic. I’ve tried looking up the answer but could not find it. Does anyone know if it uses a timing belt or a timing chain? Would you happen to know if it is expensive to maintain a Hyundai compared to Honda and Toyota? If the maintenance cost is too high it might make me reconsider and shell out the extra 3-5k for the Corolla/Civic. Thanks in advance!
