2008 Hyundai Elantra SE PZEV 4dr Sedan (2.0L 4cyl 4A)

Really Nice car for its price. Fuel economy in the city 23 mpg using it for pizza delivery around 100 miles a day. Suspension can be better. Also there is a little bit of cracking in the interior but can't complain since I got the car for only $14,200 (a lot of negotiating). This car is made for gas saving so don't expect any good acceleration for racing. A lot of room inside and trunk is huge. Looks a lot better with tinted Windows and make sure you get seat covers in they are not black. All my friends have been impressed. If I don't get any mechanical problems, I will recommend this car to everyone.
I love my car!

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 don't have to gas up all of the time! It's a very smooth ride and I love that it's a smaller car but I am not confined whatsoever while driving it. It's very roomy for its size! I look forward to having this car for a long time! Grab one while they're having the cash back incentive promotion!

I was hesitant to look at a Hyundai due to reputation, but at the reviews I gave it a shot. I am so happy that I did, I was speechless after driving the Hyundai Elantra, is exceeded my expectations greatly. I am so happy that I purchased this car, I got some much more for my dollar compare to the Honda or Nissan. I am 6'4" and I fit nicely in this vehicle and the ride is very smooth for being a moderately priced sedan. The other big savings was in my insurance because of all the safety features and ratings the Elantra received. I would recommend looking into buying the Elantra to anyone, I am even telling my father to get one!
Great Car for the money!

I must admit I wasn't at all excited about getting this car. I had to lower my payments quickly due to some financial changes. I looked at the Mazda 3 & the Honda Civic. I just couldn't get a better price for the features that I got. My car is loaded with everything including leather. I'm very impressed with the fuel economy & I already have over 6k miles on my car. Rear seat passengers are always impressed with the leg room that a car this small offers. I am very happy with my decision and recommend this car to anyone in the market for an upscale economy car. it can't be beat for the price.
Great Car, Fun to Drive

The car is very fun to drive. Handling is Great. Braking and cornering are very confident. The car always has good grip on the road. The engine gets noisy (rev) around 3500 rpm but I think it's kinda sporty. Fit and finish is excellent despite a few negligible low-quality material, IMO, better than Corolla and Civic. Blue ambient lighting is very cool. Controls are well placed and ergonomic. Seats and headrests are comfortable. Steering wheel audio controls are convenient though I keep using the dial on the center; it's a habit. Regetta Blue looks awesome. I heard it's a rare color. The ride is very smooth and comfortable. Those multi-link suspensions on front and rear really helps a lot.
