anyone have experience with an 08 elantra?

this car.

Might be buying it tomorrow from Carmax. Got a consumer reports top choice.

Opinions? Thoughts?

Great for basic transportation.

I'm sure you can take another $1000 off that price - probably more.

Just a quick glance on usaa.com, I found a dealer near the same zip code - Rick Case Hyundai Roswell with the same car for $10,998. 44k miles.

Keep in mind it has a 5 year 60,000 mile basic warranty. The warranty includes roadside assistance for 5 years, regardless of mileage.

Thanks guys.

Yeah a mechanic on somethingawful is telling me avoid it like the plague.

It is basic transportation. Nothing more. Hyundai has come a long way since the late 80s.

I wouldn't drive one. But that is from personal tastes, not because of a lack of quality. Its not made with sound deadening equipment in mind. It is made to be a basic, reliable vehicle.

My hubby is a wholesaler and used to be a gm for Hyundai a few years ago. For the past few months, he's been driving a 1999 Hyundai wagon even though he for sure has nicer cars on the lot. Has 114k miles, air blows cold. Only thing that's been done to it is new tires and a belt. I hate it cause it's ugly as sin, but the damn thing's still running fine. He brought home a 2001 Tiburon for my son last week. If not for the insurance being so high on it for a 16 year old, we'd have bought it. Nothing wrong with it other than cosmetic.

I have no problem with Hyundai at all. They've come a long way.

Thought you were looking at an Acura?

[Fiz]

Yeah. Nothing is in stone yet. Might just buy my dads old acura, or get a used e46

I almost got killed in one in high school, yet I would still love to have one.
