I have only owned my new 08' Elantra for a week, but the MPG has already paid dividends. I drove 130 miles on my first 1/4 tank of gas, not bad. Overall, everything about the vehicle has exceeded my expectations. The XM radio will be a must in any future cars, its great. Very happy so far, even though its just been a week.

I researched sedans on Edmunds 3 years ago and compare all the foreign cars as well as domestic. Hyundai turned out to be the best deal hands down over ALL OTHER car makers. So I decided from that point forth to buy a Hyundai. I got a great deal from my dealership (below invoice per Edmunds). I have 27000 miles on this car. I haven't had any real problems with it (except for the recall). I have since upgraded this car with the factory keyless start system (its awesome). Great fuel economy. I started off getting 27-31mpg. Now I'm getting 35mpg. I've driven this car in treacherous snow conditions and she handled like a breeze. I'll probably update again at 50k miles.

Very comfortable, nice acceleration, quiet and smooth drive, good handling and cornering, it has all the security features, good mileage. Overall, a joy to drive!. Not enough good things to say about this car. It's an amazing compact car. I'm very impressed how Hyundai has managed to improve its quality so much, to a level where it can compete easily against more traditional brands. Way to go Hyundai.

This is a 5K follow up review. So far this has been a very good car. Everyone in my family (all 4 drivers) loves to drive this vehicle. Tight handling, good gas mileage and outstanding ergonomics make the Elantra a joy to live with. Absolutely no problems so far. The first service was free from the dealership.

You Get What You Pay For...

Over all I enjoy my car. It's great on gas, smooth ride, great pick up,roomy, I get lots of compliments. I enjoy all the features,especially for the price. It's not a car that's good for driving up steep hills, especially in snow or icy weather conditions,it's just down right scary. I was surprised at how easily the interior gets scratched up as well as the outside paint job.I have scratches galore from other people's car doors, people walking by ect. Oh yes, apparently someone at the factory forgot to put a screw in my rear passenger window, it came loose. The dealership fixed it at no charge. Otherwise the car is ok & I'm still happy I bought it.
