2008 Hyundai Elantra SE review from North America
"Fast, and fun to drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The major problem was that the heating didn't work until at least ten minutes of driving had passed, a major inconvenience in Pennsylvania winters.
The gas mileage is definitely not 27/33; it is closer to 20/28.
Besides that, everything is going well.
General comments?
This car has worked well for me. I got it new when my 2002 Honda Accord's transmission went at 80,000 miles. This car has surprisingly good acceleration; I've clocked the 0-60 time at under 8 seconds, and the car can easily break 115MPH. The handling is very good, and visibility is adequate. The dash looks nice, and the CD player is very good; however the cloth seats are not the most comfortable and the back seat won't fit adults adequately.
