2008 Hyundai Elantra Introduction
The Hyundai Elantra (sold in South Korea as the Avante) is a compact car from Hyundai of South Korea launched in 1991.
The Elantra was formerly sold as the Lantra and the Avante in some Australian and European markets.
This gave rise to disagreement from other motor manufacturers, and the name was standardized as "Elantra" worldwide in 2001.
Between 1996 and 1998, the Elantra was marketed as the Bimantara Nenggala (1.8 litre petrol) in Indonesia. (The Cakra (1.5 litre petrol) was based on the Accent.)
The Hyundai Elantra is listed as United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) Picks Ten Most Fuel Efficient Vehicles. The Elantra ranked #2 in 2006 and 2007 in the category of most fuel efficient sedans, and also was ranked as the most efficient non-hybrid mid-sized sedan.
Hyundai Elantra SE awarded 2008 Consumer Reports "top pick". Hyundai Elantra SE was among the top 10 vehicles for 2008 unveiled in the magazine's issue. The magazine's annual ratings, based on road tests and predicted safety and reliability are considered highly influential among consumers.
Hyundai Elantra earned Consumer Reports' 'excellent' rating in predicted reliability. Hyundai Elantra SE is Consumer Reports top-ranked 2008 vehicle amongst 19 other compacts and subcompacts, beating out such high-quality competitors as the Honda Civic and Toyota Corolla. However, the less expensive GLS trim line, without the electronic stability control standard on the SE trim line, and with less sporty tires, was ranked closer to the middle of the group.

2008 Hyundai Elantra FAQ
Question: How do you replace a flasher unit in a Hyundai Elantra 2008?
How do you replace a flasher unit in a Hyundai Elantra 2008? I just need to know where you can put in in the car. Please be specific. Thanks
Answer: I wouldn't care... that is what my warranty is for.
Question: What price should I pay for an automatic 2008 elantra SE this week? Dealer says $15200+ tax?
I am buying in the Philly area. I don't want to pay too much given the current economy and car sales!
Answer: That is a great buy. Look at edmunds.com and you can get a market value to see what others in your area are paying for the same car
Question: Is the 2008 Hyundai Elantra a good car to buy?
I am a nanny and i need t carry at 2 car seats in my car I currently have a 2007 accent which i want to sell. I cannot afford much. Do you think that an Elantra is good for me?
Answer: Simply put, No. I would avoid the Hyundai Elantra for many reasons. At the very top, poor depreciation. I have seen reports from owners who have bought a new Hyundai in early 2006, put a few miles on it and tried to sell it in mid/late 2007 (just 18-20 months of ownership) and its worth less than half! In a few cases it only was worth 15-20% of its original price! Go to KBB . com and see how many Hyundais made the best resale value list. Not one. Their resale is among the worst.
Question: How can I reprogram my automatic windows in my 2008 Hyundai Elantra?
I use to have a celica and I found a way to make both windows go down using automatic. I cant seem to find this for my elantra. Anyone have any idea what this is acctually called beside programming and how to do it? Thanks ahead of time
Answer: Unless there is something in your owners manual specifically stating it, I don't think you will be able to do it. Every car manufacturer is different as far as options go. I know that on some VWs you can get the windows to go down without even getting in the car and putting the key in the ignition. You just put the key in the door an turn it in the direction opposite from unlocking the door for 2 seconds.
Unfortunately the Hyundai is not a Toyota. Just keep the button pressed until the passenger side is down all the way.
Question: I can get a free spoiler on my 2008 Hyundai Elantra SE- Should I do it?
I just got a 2008 Hyundai Elantra SE in the deep blue color. I am an 18-year-old (male) student going to college and I wanted a sporty-looking car. At first I liked the spoiler, but now I'm not sure as others have told me it looks better without. Should I get the spoiler installed for free or not? What do you think looks sportier for a guy?
Answer: I own a 2008 Hyundai Elantra GLS and really wish I had a rear spoiler on mine, to me a spoiler looks more sporty even though it doesn't add much functionality to the car. As soon as I get enough money I think I'm going to get one on mine. Plus it would add to the value of the car at resale.
Question: Does anyone know what the lifetime mileage for a 2008 Hyundai Elantra is?
I have heard mixed reviews about Hyundai cars. I have heard that Toyata, Honda and Nissan can go beyond 200,000 miles. What about Hyundai? If anyone knows how I can find out please answer. Thanks!
Answer: They all can last has long has you take care of them and do regular scheduled maintance
Question: What is the lug nut configuration on a 2008 Hyundai Elantra?
I know it's a 15 inch Wheel, but is it 5 X 100 or 5 X 114.3 or something else?
Answer: its 5-114 according to tirerack.com
Question: Why am I having trouble putting Chevron gas in my 2008 Hyundai Elantra?
I know this sounds crazy but I bought this car two weeks ago and when I go to Chevron to fill my tank, the pump starts to fuel but stops after a few seconds. I retry to fuel again and it stops again. It took me ten minutes to fill my tank today. This didn't happen at an Arco station. What is going on? Anyone else having this problem?
Answer: I have the same type of quirkyness on my 01' Elantra. Try to fill up when the gas needle is at the half way mark rather then when it's on empty. I was told by an attendant that fumes can build up in the tank and the pressure can cause the gas nozzle to pop out. I was guilty of driving around on near empty then only filling up at the half way mark but since I started filling up it up at the half way mark the problem went away.
Question: I am planing to buy a car and in deep dilema between 2008 Hyundai Elantra SE and 2008 Honda Civic EX Coupe?
. Could you please suggest me which car should i go for and which is better between these two?
Answer: no honda get a hyundais get better gas mileage and they are a lot nice looking to
