Overview & Reviews

Last year's top-of-the-line Limited trim level has been dropped, but much of its equipment can still be had via an optional package for the midgrade Elantra SE trim. Stability control and brake assist have also been added as standard equipment to the SE.

• Smooth and secure ride, attractive cabin design, roomy interior with adult-friendly backseat, solid construction, responsive handling, low price, long warranty.

• Unrefined engine is noisy at mid-to-high rpm, likable interior is otherwise let down by a few low-grade interior plastics.

  I love this car! - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By bebe - September 16 - 5:21 pm

  We bought the car in July, Ive put almost 1000 miles on it. Have had no problems, save for the "check engine" popping on because I didnt screw on the gas cap correctly. Love it, love it, love it!

  I love my car - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By Linda - September 14 - 6:26 am

  I purchased my auto Elantra Se in Feb 08. I love the mileage Im getting. I average 29-31 miles combined city/hw driving. On the highway going at 65, I averaged 36.9 miles to the gallon. WOW. Its very comfortable. Ive made 2 trips to MS so I have almost 13,000 miles on it and still loving it. Its a great car and would recommend it. Yes some can get lemons in any make/model but dont let one lemon spoil your awesome driving experience.

  Impressive Vehicle - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By Lei_Momi - September 13 - 10:20 am

  When I bought the Elantra, I thought I was downsizing from a Suzuki Grand Vitara, but the interior of the Elanta offers more hip, shoulder and leg room. The gas mileage I am getting is better than the EPA sticker, at 35 HWY. The first weekend I had the car I went to Mt. Rainier here in Washington. The car handled like a dream on tight curves and was never sluggish on the climb up. There was always lots of power for any steep grade. The car is comfortable, peppy, very fun to drive, solid, responsive and feels larger inside than my parents Intrepid. My husband is 62", and even with some back problems, he has no problem getting in, and has lots of leg room. I absolutely love this car!

  I love her my Apple Red Elantra - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By andrealan - September 13 - 9:29 am

  I had an disappointing afternoon at a Dealer nearby.Turns out I was lied to about price,stock and color of a cute little car I wanted. Me and hubby then set out and drove many other cars that day and into 8pm. that night. I was tired and wanted to go home. Hubby said "you still havent driven the Hyundai". He said-"remember the Rental I had in Florida? It was the new Elantra". I wasnt excited. every car I drove that night was a disappointment. A good ride but cost too much or a bad ride in my price range. I requested An apple Red Elantra GLS. She was so comfortable, roomy, good performance and I was having fun!! We drove it home that night at 9:30PM. LOL, I really bought her in the dark!

  Love it - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By Elantra Lover - September 10 - 4:11 pm

  I was a skeptic, man was I wrong, this car is the best. I have owned many cars from ford mustang & probes to crysler sebring convertibles to Grand Prixs w/ turbo boost. This is by far my favorite. Great handling and wonderful gas mileage. Tank was full with 12 miles when I got it now at 54 miles the needle just fell below the full line!!!!!!!!!!!!! Smooth driving with nice big front window, the car handles like a dream!

  Thrilled - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By RB - September 5 - 5:11 pm

  I purchased this car as an alternative to driving my gas guzzling full sized SUV. I was debating between this and the Honda Civic. I test drove both. There was no significant difference in performance or comfort. The lower price, better warranty, and cash rebate made the choice of the Elantra an easy decision. So far Im thrilled with the car and my decision.

  Fun little car - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By Amanda - August 31 - 1:28 am

  We purchased our Hyundai Elantra around the middle of June. We already have over 5000 miles on it, and we have not had a single problem. We love almost everything about the car. It gets decent gas mileage-we are averaging 29 mpg city/highway combo. It has an excellent safety rating in Consumer Reports. It comes in some way cool colors. There is one issue we have: the back window is too small, so sometimes Im nervous changing lanes, especially on the freeway. Anyway, its a cute little car that does what it says it will do. In the Valley, youll pay a little more-ours 14000 with no extras.

  Great car Good Price - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By kristina - August 30 - 6:51 pm

  I love this car. I payed 15300 for it after rebates and it was a great purchase. The dealer gave me Invoice minus rebates and I feel pretty satisfied that I got a fair price. This car fits my budget and my kids safely in the back without any cramping. I recommend this car to anyone starting a family!

  Must Buy - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By Big Dog - August 29 - 10:40 am

  This is a great car. Fuel economy is as advertised. Its a lot more sporty than advertised too. It has a huge trunk and both my kids carseats fit in very well. The blue lighting is great at night. The manual shift is very easy. I climb over the Blue Ridge mountain to and from work everyday and this car makes it up and down with no problems. I pass by the Yaris and Versa and laugh. This car is nice.

  Awesome car at an amazing price!! - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By Anthony T - August 28 - 4:29 pm

  I just bought this car because I will be commuting to college, and needed something more reliable than my 1998 Plymouth Neon. I got the SE model with the sportier wheels, fog lights, spoiler, etc. and I love it! It rides so nice and interior and exterior of this car are beautiful. I got the dark blue and I love it! I will have this car for the next 6 years of school!
