Elantra: A Comfortable, High-Quality Transportation Appliance.

Date of Review:  Sep 3, 2008
The Bottom Line: Seemingly channeling Toyota's Corolla, the Elantra has matured into a somber, sophisticated small-car bargain. If the Mazda 3's overt sportiness doesn't push your buttons, put this one on your list.
Review: Background

Hyundai gained a foothold in the U.S. market with bargain-bin pricing, and for two decades, no evaluation of a Hyundai has been complete without taking "the deal" into account. But with each successive generation of product, the...

Good value for the money

Date of Review:  Jul 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is about the most you are going to get for your money.
Review: Update:
We have now driven some 8,000 miles. No complaints.

One note however. At speeds above 60 mph in intermittent crosswinds the handling is a bit "dodgy". Nothing bordering on dangerous, but you will notice a bit of a dip and swerve...

Elantra: Efficient, Edifying, and Evolved!

Date of Review:  May 16, 2008
The Bottom Line: This is a very good car, featuring nicely equipped trims for a great price. The Elantra is an outstanding value. In fact, it feels more refined than one would expect.
Review: I purchased a 2008 Hyundai Elantra GLS automatic in the middle of April. Since then, I have been very pleased with this product.

Prior to the Elantra, I owned a 2002 Sonata GLS, which was a very nice car that I was quite happy with. Though...

Incredible car for the money!

Date of Review:  Apr 1, 2008
The Bottom Line: Do yourself a big favor. Overcome your bias about the Hyundai name and give this car a look. This car is a tremendous bargain.
Review: When shopping for an automobile most people overlook a brand like Hyundai due to the reputation of earlier models as being poorly designed, prone to mechanical problems, and having poor resale value. However, there is much information available...

I Love My New Hyundai Elantra

Date of Review:  Mar 15, 2009
The Bottom Line: The Elantra is the perfect car for two people and it is big enough for a family. The gas mileage is excellent. I would recommend this car to anyone.
Review: My new Hyundai Elantra is a fantastic car! We bought is solely for the gas mileage, which is 37 mpg around town and 40 mpg on a trip. When we bought it, gas was $3.00 or more per gallon and we needed an economy car, so we traded in our Subaru Baja...

2008 Hyundai Elantra...BUYER BEWARE!

Date of Review:  Jul 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: Do not purchase! Serious issues with these cars dying in the middle of the road without warning (see other forums).
Review: PLEASE DON'T BUY THIS BRAND!!! I have contacted the BBB and will pursue having the dealership/Hyundai corporate return my car and pay off my loan. I had my brand-new Elantra for about 26 hours (I had driven it 100 miles since I bought it), when it...

Great bang for the buck

Date of Review:  Dec 3, 2007
Review: Could not be happier with my 2008 Hyundai Elantra SE. I was convinced a new Honda Civic was in my future until I started to read consumer reviews on the Hyundai and check the warranties on both cars.

Had I taken the Civic equipped the way...

Love my car!

Date of Review:  Jun 20, 2008
Review: We bought our Elantra last August and we've been in love with it ever since. It gets AWESOME gas mileage... and so far, we've had absolutely no mechanical problems. There is adequate trunk space, which is often lacking in smaller cars. I love the...

Worth the investment

Date of Review:  Aug 31, 2008
Review: I own a hyundai elantra. Its slowly falling apart. I now believe for the extra $2000 that I need to spend to get a Toyota would be worth. It costs more because Toyota is a better quality vehicle than Hyundai.
