2008 Hyundai Elantra GLS review from North America
"Very good vehicle"
General comments?
So far this has been an impressive car, even though we just bought it 3 weeks ago.
It has a very solid feeling car, not cheap at all.
The car is peppy and handles very well.
We took a 600 mile trip with it and it is very quiet, even with strong head winds and doing 70 mph.
I had no problems passing slower vehicles at high speed.
It turns around 2100 rpm at 60 mph.
Got around 31 mpg with highway driving.
The sound system is quality with an impressive bass response.
Ours came with the XM radio and mp3 option, which is nice.
We got a very good price since we paid 12500 without tax and license. Couldn't even come close price wise with other cars of similar styling.
One thing I don't care for is that the speedometer goes up by 20 (20, 40, 60, 80, etc) for each number shown, which makes it harder to see what the speed is when glancing at the dash while driving.
