I bought a silver on black elantra se pzev w/ moonroof and heated seats. This car is great, I would tell anyone to go and buy this car. It has all the safety and convenience features at thousands less! The styling is very classy and looks better than civic and corolla. Hyundai has come along way and this is the best elantra yet. Go test drive one. You will not be disapointed!

Mostly, I am very impressed with this car. I have owned 6 Hondas over the years...they were all great. This mfr has come a long way with their line and particularly with the Elantra. This car needs more "Get-up & Go"... and less (Mitsubishi) engine noise. I can and will live with these two minor flaws...just an annoyance. Best mileage to date: 37 mpg; the qualifier here is: did not exceed 70 mph & no air conditioning on. While the car has no trouble traveling 75/80, the mileage suffers. Watch the tack and keep it as close to 2500 rpm and you will see your best mileage, also use cruise control when possible. Still lov'n this car and hope it keeps on keeping on.

'08 Silver SE - Great Car for the Money

I first posted a review, in April. I had the car for one month and liked it. Now after taking three trips and putting on 5100 miles in three months, I can not describe how awesome this car is. On the trips I avg 35 mpg (mostly hwy). Normal everyday mixed driving avg has been 30 mpg's. Driving for long periods have been comfortable and enjoyable. During heavy rain, the stability control worked well. The heated seats warmed up quick, the stereo & XM have great a sound. The Electric Steering make parallel parking easy. One slight thing I noticed is the air conditioning seems a bit weak compared to my previous Elantra's (not bad, but did notice a change - may be due to the cabin being larger).

The new 2008 Hyundai Elantra is the best buy out there in my opinion. Best warranty, most standard safety features, most standard features, and it was about $2000 - $4000 less than the under equipped Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. I recommend this buy to anyone who is looking for the biggest bang for their buck!

It's just 2 days that I own this beautiful car. It's fun to drive this car. Easy handling. It's 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 it's a good car and I am satisfied with it.
