Other Choices:

    The 2008 Hyundai Elantra stands out in its class, pragmatically, with a roomier interior, a more settled ride, and better drivability than most of the cars in its segment, but many of its rivals have it beat for personality or sportiness. The Civic, Spectra, and Mazda3 all feel sportier on the road, with more responsive handling and a better feel of the road, but each of those models arguably has more road noise inside and a ride that isn't quite as smooth. The new-for-2008 Ford Focus is a close competitor, with a softer, smoother ride and a quieter interior than in years past, along with a refined powertrain, but the Focus's interior just isn't as spacious. The Elantra's 14.2-cubic-foot trunk capacity also beats Civic and Corolla. The Corolla has long been the segment benchmark, but the current (outgoing) model is especially conservative; to its credit, the Corolla gets especially good fuel economy. The Elantra's long warranty is only matched by the Kia; Hyundai's warranty--five years or 60,000 miles comprehensive and 10 years or 100,000 miles on the powertrain--gives it a distinct advantage to buyers who want to keep the Elantra for a long time with no financial fuss.

  1. CD Player

    By Debra J Jensen | Posted: 29/9/2008

    I purchased the 2008 Hyundai Elantra in June. The CD player has already started burning the CDs and Hyundai has refused to stand by them. They want to put a "reconditioned" CD player in this brand new car. In other words, they are taking a radio that someone else has had trouble with and put it in my car. They are aware of the problem but refuse to stand behind the product they endorse. I will never recommend Hyundai to anyone.
