She was looking at the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Forte/Forte5. Anyone have a recent model of those that can comment as a basic drive-to-work-and-back kind of car?

Or suggest alternatives? Another Civic I guess. Regular Golfs aren't a thing anymore.

She may be open to a couple of years old too.
I'm going to be buying a new Mazda 3 later this year. Fun to drive, great reliability, consistently rated as one of the best interiors in it's class, and since the 2019 redesign you can get an AWD version which is the primary reason I'm buying one. Plus if you want to splurge a bit you can get the Mazda 3 Turbo with 250hp, which is just nuts for a compact sedan under $40k
