Pros: What do you like about 2008 Hyundai Elantra?
Everything.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Hyundai Elantra?
Anything I had to say would be so minor that it would not be worth mentioning.

2008 Hyundai Elantra Review:
I have owned Acuras and Accord, and for the price the Elantra seems to be a better car all round. Hard to beat the warranty.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Hyundai Elantra?
My car now has 13,500 miles on the clock. Has never missed a beat. Closed to home mixed driving is 28+mpg...hwy is as high as 36mpg, avg hwy is 33.6mpg. Car is comfortable at 75/80mph, best mpg at <70mph, 2750rpm. This is the SE model and roomy and seats are good, could use lumbar for long trips. My car is just over 6 mos old...no rattles...just solid. Very well equiped the SE is worth small additional price.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Hyundai Elantra?
Road noise can be a problem...needs refinement here. Dash lighting adjustment should be up higher on dash. Needs articulated trunk lid. Grill/Frontal area looks too much like a Toyota, Corrola. Electric power steering takes some getting-used to...it's different...after awhile not noticable.

2008 Hyundai Elantra Review:
This is a marvelous small car. Fit and finish is very good, in spite of what some "experts" have said...look for your self. I am just back from a 2,400 mile trip and I can honestly say that the car ride was comfortable and smooth. Since I have owned 5 Honda's over the years and I can honestly say that this car out performed them...in many ways. You need to drive this car if thinking of purchasing a Honda, Toyota, Nissan...pay particular attention what this car (SE)is equiped with vs the others...then factor in the warranty...you'll see why I purchased the Hyundai Elantra.
