Car Question

[willowisp]

Andy and I are looking for a small, new car for me. We've narrowed down to a Honda Fit Sport (aka llama-mobile) or a Hyundai Elantra Touring. The llama-mobile has enthusiastic recommendations from my sister, who owns one.

If anyone has test-driven or compared these cars, do you have any recommendations for one over the other?

I've been looking at the Honda Fit myself, mainly because of it's ability to carry a string bass. If you can, however, you might want to hold off on buying it until the end of the year since Honda is supposed to be coming out with a hybrid version of the Fit then (apparently for only about $2000 more than the non-hybrid version). I haven't test driven it yet, but I'm planning on looking this weekend. I'm not actually planning on buying until hopefully next year though, but I'm trying to figure what I want now in case my Subaru (with 262,000 miles on it!) gives out on my unexpectedly.

Unfortunately we need to give the Fit hybrid a miss for two reasons -- not wanting to try a first-generation car, and Andy doesn't want me to lose the momentum I picked up in college.
