2008 Hyundai Elantra GL review from North America
"The times they are a changing!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing yet.
General comments?
I never thought I would be driving a Hyundai, but here I am with my new Elantra!
Very impressed with the quality.
Engine is especially quiet.
Seats are firm, and a little on the hard side.
Parking is tricky with the tapered rear passenger windows.
Radio is outstanding.
After driving a Merc, the Elantra took a little getting used to. I am growing to love it the more I drive it though. It's peppy and fun to drive. The Premium gas was killing me on the Merc, so I was happy trading it in.
