Best car I ever owned ... by far!

Love my Elantra. Proud so say this car didn’t get an engine light until after 200,000 miles. First car I’ve owned where I haven’t had to do any repairs to the AC. I plan on next purchases to be of the Hyundai make. Great car!

A very reliable and long lasting car.

I purchased the Elantra in 2008 . It was a demo car, so it had a few hundred miles on it. The car when purchased was in outstanding condition. As you can tell, IT IS A very reliable and long-lasting car. I changed dealership to WinHyundai in 2009 and have been very happy with the service ever since. I have been especially fond of the way Berry Albino has treated me since I met him in 2017. My latest dealing with Tania Toscano has been fine, too,

Best car I’ve ever owned

As a real estate person, I’ve owned several upscale cars. When I retired, I bought a smaller car, the Hyundai Elantra. I have never had any repairs needed in the past 13 years I’ve owned it. Truly amazing. It’s a wonderful car and I hope to keep it for many more years.

It's been a great car!

I would buy this car again. Reliable, fun to drive, great gas mileage, looks great and love the color- red. I wish I had grey interior but I have tan, I joke that it's a 49ers car! I am notified if there is a recall, and it is quickly fixed.

Still in love with car!

This such a great little car. I have a new daily driver, but I can’t seem to part ways with my baby(the Elantra). The car get incredible gas mileage, has been extremely reliable, and has outstanding sound system. Mine is at 135k, I bought it 4 years ago with about 112k. It been on 350 mile trips and has need very little maintenance...and even if it does, the bill is usually pretty small. I plan on taking care of the car and driving it until everything falls off. Did I mention that it still looks like me on the outside, I can’t help but stare at it sometimes.

Nothing exciting, but reliable and low ownership cost

Over 185K miles total ownership costs have been 50% of what AAA gives as an average. Brakes are prone to road salt corrosion. AC compressor died after 12 years. Engine and automatic transmission are good still.

Elantra Love

I love my second Elantra even more than my prior one. It’s comfortable, reliable and fast.The only reason I’m considering replacing it with an SUV is because of my knees (SUVs are a little easier to get out of)

Love my 2008 Elantra!

This was my first Hyundai and I love it. The service has been excellent as well! I bought it new and it hasn’t disappointed. I wish my previous cars were this good. The styling is still good for a 2008 car!

2008 Elantra

This is by far the best & most reliable vehicle I ever owned. This car has been used in computer service as well long distance travel. I have accumulated over 105,000 miles in the 12 years I’ve owned it

Trusty Steed

My second Hyundai, I still like my Elantra. I sometimes wish it had a hatchback like my initial Accent. The trunk room is good but I wish I could lay the back seat down and carry longer items. A reliable vehicle.

Excellent vehicle

Our 2008 Elantra has been an excellent vehicle from day one, 130,000 miles ago. We still get 40+ mpg on the highway and it still runs like a top. We hate the thought of having to replace it someday. Great vehicle.

LOVE MY HYUNDAI

I Love my Hyundai (2008) Elantra. Purchased NEW. The people That take care of my vehicle for me at Buerkle Hyundai, in Vadnais Heights, MN. are terrific group. I only have 64,000 miles on my car. Travel is close to home for the most part. Really enjoy driving my Hyundai. Good gas mileage, handles great in Minnesota snow and Icey days. I have not had any major problems with my vehicle. I'm sure it will be the last car I own. Hope to pass onto my grandsons as maybe their 1st vehicle to learn how to drive. If I did get another vehicle, it would be another Hyundai. Very reliable vehicle.

Great little car

I bough this car new in 2008 and it’s been one of the most reliable cars I’ve ever owned. I have 140k on it now and other than basic maintenance, I haven’t had anything really go wrong with it... except the subframe rotted out recently, there’s a service bulletin on that TT1, and thankfully Hyundai replaced it for free even when the car was out of warranty. The car still looks pretty good and everything still works even the air conditioning. So I have been happy with the car and will consider Hyundai again in the future.

Hyundai Elantra

Great car to get around with. Fun to drive - good sound system. Can pack a lot in the trunk and inside car. Love the manual transmission. Low maintenance. Good for long trips as well as just riding around town.

I love my Elantra

I bought the car new in 2008. It gets good gas mileage, it's very reliable, & I got it for a great price. I just take it in for oil changes & only had 3 other minor things go wrong. Not bad for a car that's 12 years old.

12 years, still a great little car. 2008 elantra

Original owner. Car is easy to work on, phenomenal on gas and low fuss with maintenance. Car does not have much technology, but also did not cost much. Interior build quality leaves a lot to be desired but has held together pretty well for being 12 years old. Regular maintenance has been performed and have had no road issues since. Great space for being a small car and handles very well on the road and even does fine at highway speeds and on long trips. Have driven it cross country several times. Family has really enjoyed this one. No plans to get rid of it.

Great family car

This vehicle has been in the family for 9 years. In that time it has met or exceeded our expectations. This vehicle has been very reliable and economical to operate and maintain. It currently has 144,700 miles and I am expecting to easily reach 200k with just continued routine maintenance.
