Solid performance

I bought this used car and was surprised to see the performance of this car despite the age. It is very comfortable and spacious. It makes sense that this model won best design award. A great car for regular driving.

Reliable car

In 1998 reviewed many cars and found that the Elantra had great reviews. Purchased the car and have been happy ever since. Minor maintenance issues but for a car 10 years old and almost 200k miles this has been a great reliable car. Perform the maintenance and it lasts. Will consider another one when it is ready to be replaced.

2008 Elantra GLS

This has been a great little car. We are very happy with it overall. Comfortable, fuel efficient, reliable, and paid for! Fog light are not powerful enough. Interior dashboard lights need to be able to dim down more.

2008 Hyundai Elantra

Overall good auto. Smooth ride. No service issues. Needed front stabilizer repaired due to rough (poor) Milwaukee city road issues. Needed rear stabilizer parts serviced due to same road issues.Only two problems have been with the radio. Occasionally (rarely) when engine turned on, radio turned on (lights) but no sound. Restarting cleared problem. I apparently am only owner with this issue, since couldn't be duplicated at dealership. Now the CD player won't accept CDs, won't replace with factory model due to age of car and price to replace. Will seek after-market replacement.0

Love my Hyundai Elantra

I love my Hyundai Elantra. I've had very few problems with it other than the normal maintenance. It's got a lot of pep for a small car and I get great gas mileage. I love the fact that it has heated seats and a great sound system and a moon roof, as well as a powerful air conditioner. I also love zipping in and out of parking spots with the smaller car. I may get another one or change to an SUV, but I do love my Elantra.

2008 Elantra

Very happy with my 10 year old Elantra that just hit 155 thousand miles. It is a 5 speed and I get excellent gas mileage and I do enjoy driving the standard. The body is still in quite good shape so for now I will continue to drive it.

Great gas mileage

This is a fun car to drive. it gets great gas mileage and I enjoy having a manual. I also love the sunroof. I often use it even when most people would think it's too cold. It's also nice to have a small car when parking spaces are tight.

Can't Beat 'em!

203,000 miles. 2008 Hyundai Elantra. Last 3 years in FL, but first 7 in Rhode Island. Snow, ice, mud, frost, all kinds of joy. It survived it all - PLUS the drive down here. No problems with service except for the time my father, trying to be helpful, took it to Walmart for a new battery. I went out to a dead battery three mornings in a row, till my father figured out they hadn't put on one of the connections. New rule - NOWHERE but Gettel for service.

The Hyundai Elantra

In 2008 I purchased to Hyundai Elantras that were the same in every way. In the past 11 years I have had only a handful of minor issues that have been resolved at the dealership. I feel the Elantra is a good car for the price. The only thing that kept me from giving the 2008 model a five star rating is the issue with the timing belt. This belt needs to be changed out periodically and it is not an inexpensive item. I had this belt changed out at about 42000 miles due to the fact that it was 6 years old. Fortunately, I understand that the manufacturer has gone back to using a timing chain so this is no longer and issue with the newer Elantras.

Good car

It's a good car. Excellent gas mileage. Slow acceleration, but. I can't afford the sports car I really want! Cornering could be better. Good size trunk, too, especially for its size. No mechanical problems. Good value for the money. And no screens inside, which I love.

2008 Elantra

This is the third Hyundai and second Elantra I’ve owned. These cars are reliable and value-packed. My Elantra has been one of the best purchases for my money I’ve ever made. I’m sure be driving this car all the way to 250,000 miles!

Great car!

I've had this car for 10 years and its never let me down. The dealership has always taken great care of me, and the car has always ran great. I wish my husband had one too so he didn't drive mine so much! I did a lot of research before buying this particular car and I've been completely happy.

2008 Hyundai Elantra still going!

I still love my 2008 Hyundai Elantra! Even though it has 317,000 mikes on the speedometer, it runs well and is comfortably easy to drive. The interior has held up well and doesn’t look like the inside of a 10 year old car. I’ve had only 1 electrical system issue last year that required 1 day at the dealer service center. The only other maintenance were tire and oil changes. This car has been reliable and solid.

Hyundai Satisfied Customer

Our first Hyundai vehicle was in 2002. Very good experience so we went back in 2008, 2016 and 2017 and purchased more. My family has enjoyed all our cars. These vehicles have been excellent to us. My family and I are very pleased with Hyundai.

Great car

We have had our Elantra for ten years, new from beginning. It is a GLS, Great Little Small Car. We really love this vehicle. Great mileage, comfortable on long trips, and quiet. Power is very good. Very responsive acceleration and passing.

Love My Elantra

I purchased my Hyundai Elantra, new, in 2009. Following all recommended care and maintenance, my car is still going strong. Reliability is of the utmost importance. It is comforting to me to feel secure in getting in my vehicle and getting to my destination without incident. I look forward to many more years of use.

I loved my Elantra. Excellent gas mileage and handling. I was intending to keep it or get another Elantra but decided to try the Kona. Easy to drive, park, and garage for a shorter person in a small condo.

Best Little Car in Texas

This is the best car I have ever owned. I was at one time a Toyota man but not any More. This vehicle is 10 years old and still rides and drives like new. I'm sold on Hyundai. This vehicle rides just as good as when I purchased it. Great gas mileage and it even looks so good after 10 years. It's a classy little car.
