I bought mine used with 86k miles. It currently has 233k miles and it's going strong. It does not burn oil and has been reliable. A very good inexpensive car to run around town. If you come across one in good shape, do not hesitate it's a great little car!

My wife and I couldn't be happier with our car. You really can't find a better car without spending a lot more money. We get excellent fuel economy (mid 30's everyday, 40+ on back-road road trips), without a bulky hybrid battery and without compromising safety, comfort or performance. The FWD provides great traction; we had a brutal winter last year and only got stuck once, when we got high-centered in several feet of snow. The interior is well thought-out, with plenty of cubbyholes and cup/bottle holders - great for road trips. MP3 CD and aux input are nice features. We haven't babied this car, but with regular maintenance it still runs and drives like new. Haven't had a single problem yet.

I bought my 2008 Hyundai Elantra brand new. I have never had a more dependable car. I have never had a tune up and I now have 145K miles on it and it runs great. Just got back from a 10 hour (each way) vacation trip and we had no issues.

My wife had a Toyota corolla with 110.000 miles and I told her, its time to get rid of this garbage, we had problem with the corolla since we bough it, battery death less than a year, window motor broken after 3 years, so 3/36.000 warranty is not good. I check for two month the new corolla, matrix, yaris, civic, sentra, versa, etc, etc and I decided elantra se full loaded. I did a good choice, I feel so good driving this car, wow, the seats feel better than my kia sedona, minivan. The instrument lights are beautiful. I know its not perfect, but with so many stupid expensive cars out there that just take our money, elantra is perfect choice. I'm very, very happy, I almost forget, has leather seat,

I had an disappointing afternoon at a Dealer nearby.Turns out I was lied to about price,stock and color of a cute little car I wanted. Me and hubby then set out and drove many other cars that day and into 8pm. that night. I was tired and wanted to go home. Hubby said "you still haven't driven the Hyundai". He said-"remember the Rental I had in Florida? It was the new Elantra". I wasn't excited. every car I drove that night was a disappointment. A good ride but cost too much or a bad ride in my price range. I requested An apple Red Elantra GLS. She was so comfortable, roomy, good performance and I was having fun!! We drove it home that night at 9:30PM. LOL, I really bought her in the dark!
