I am very happy with this car. I bought 2 2008 models in may 2008 for my son and me and so far, no problems.I am getting 30 mpg in town driving. I havent had it on the interstate long enough to check the highway mpg.
I own this car - 2007 Hyundai Elantra SE. Its GOOD! Neat dashboard - kick-ass woofers(and Trance Music in Car is VERY important for me!), 3months free XM Radio, good computer system, silent engine(bet the Toyota Corollas have a competitor now!) and yes, good power for a car in this range. And yes, the BLUE color of the dashboard lights is pretty! They're supposed to reduce road rage and tension, as per experts.
i just bought one in june 07 and i took it up to 190 kms and still had juice and held the road good i love my lil car it feels better than my 97 grand am lol
It is not loud at all when cruising at 80. What some testers are saying is when you initially put the pedal to the metal to get to highway speeds it could be loud, but most cars even V6's are when you are gunning it.
Ditto. Drive a 2004 Elantra 5 speed here in Boston. Had to replace Clutch at 96,500 miles and new rear shocks. Considering Boston driving, I guess that's not too bad. Now at 108,500 and thinks it time for Front shocks.
ya definitely a good car. good size interior, upscale amenities and looks pretty good IMO. Steering wheel is little "light" but that was the early 07 model I drove they might have fixed that now
I have to agree with the fact they dont give this car enough points. I have drove several of the newer cars (Civic, Corrolla etc.)and this car seems to be much more car for the money. Enough so I bought one. Yeah, give it up for the Black Pearl....
I wouldn't buy neither. I would recommend the Hyundai Sonata GLS. If you can drive stick, then you can find one for arround $13K, and $14-$14.5K for the automatic GLS. MPG for the 2.4L for me (5spd stick) is 25 City / 31 Hwy. The Elantra won't do much better. Now, if it comes down to Elantra vs. Accent, then I would recommend the Elantra hands down.
hyundai a a great brand!!! now is betwen toyota and honda in security and satisfaccion of costumers!!! elantra is the car of the year for jd powernad santa fe too
