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.

  Its just 2 days that I own this beautiful car. Its fun to drive this car. Easy handling. Its equipped with lot of small utilities, that we see in a high range car. It does make noise when going from mid to high rpm. Overall its a good car and I am satisfied with it.

  Worth More Than They Sell Them For!!! - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By Doug - June 21 - 5:56 am

  Ive spent over a year looking to buy a new car. I needed something reliable, safe, and economical. This car has it all in spades! Its unheard of to have stability control in a car at this price. And its a blast to drive. It has WAY more torque than the civic so it really moves when you hit the gas! Feels like it has way more horsepower too. And it steers with a perfect mix of feedback and ease.

  Fine car for the money - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By Tom Farina - April 15 - 11:26 pm

  This is a fine car for the money.Design in and out. Long list of safety features and warranty. Great gas mileage. Good build quality. Good pick up too. Auto shifter is smooth. Suprisingly roomy interior. Some road noise is pronounced on rough road surfaces. AM side of radio goes crazy under high power lines. Dealer said cant do anything!

  I love my car! - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By rdi0824 - April 13 - 6:23 am

  I recently purchased the GLS model. I am currently getting approx. 32 mpg (I calculated 31.9) with combo of city/hwy miles. I love that I dont have to gas up all of the time! Its a very smooth ride and I love that its a smaller car but I am not confined whatsoever while driving it. Its very roomy for its size! I look forward to having this car for a long time! Grab one while theyre having the cash back incentive promotion!

  Great Car for the price - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By lexigirl - January 8 - 9:56 am

  Have only had a little over a week. Love the way it drives and looks. Paid $14,990 with sunroof package. Only complaint is the alarm system goes off for no reason quite often. Brought to dealership & was told its fixed, but when we arrived to pick up the car, alarm was going off in parking lot. Made another appt to bring back. Had to have the brakes looked at as it was vibrating when braking. This they easily fixed by shaving the rust that had built up sitting on lot. Brakes are fine now. Warranty is outstanding! Looking to sell my SUV & get another one.

  Great Car! Great Price! - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By angelrose971 - December 3 - 1:23 pm

  My initial criteria for buying a new car was it had to have fuel efficiency of at least 35 MPG, have 4 doors, and be comfortable for me to drive. I narrowed my search to 3 vehicles, 3 different manufacturers. Surprisingly, the Elantra wasnt one of them but I decided to look at it after ruling out the Accent (only because of comfortability). Im not disappointed and very happy that I did indeed look at and test drive the Elantra. What a great car for a great price!

  Best thing Ive done for myself! - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By K - November 4 - 8:56 pm

  The rebate caught my attention, I wanted to upgrade from my 2001 Hyundai Accent, and this was a perfect find! I love the exterior (black) and the two-tone interior. Excellent features for a ridiculously low price - sunroof, cruise control, XM radio, fog lights. It it very spacious, and driving it feels so comfortable. Wishing for lumbar support, though. You cant beat the warranty, and the extra features, and the gas mileage, and the sleekness, and the value...and I could go on! Ive driven 350 miles since I bought it and I havent filled the gas tank yet!

  Great car for the price! - 2008 Hyundai Elantra
  By Drew Miller - October 29 - 8:13 pm

  I am incredibly happy with my purchase. I had test driven the 09 Corolla, Dodge Caliber, Mitsubishi Lancer, Kia Spectra, etc. The only car that I liked more was the 09 Corolla (the 08 is horrendous to me) as it handled better and was a more comfortable ride. However, the Elantra offers many of the exact same features and includes a warranty that on the Corolla you have to purchase in addition to your vehicle to even come close. The Elantra does lack power on uphill climbs, but it cruises everywhere else. Im getting about 33-35mpg mainly highway, about 28-29 city since buying it (have filled up twice). After the special financing, bought the car for $10K LESS than the Corolla!
