Used Hyundai Elantra for Sale in Oklahoma City, OK

This is car was a good car until about 60,000 miles. It drove nice, comfortable, ample storage, and looked good. However, at about 60,000 miles the air conditioner/heater blower would stall out, so sometimes it blows air and sometimes it doesn't. I have also had a lot of issues with the front end shocks, tie rods, and simple alignment issues. At one point the car was going through brand new tires at 4 a month as it was eating the inside of the tires down to the wire. I had a mechanic tell me that these cars only last until about 100,000 miles. I am currently at 125,000 miles, so I guess I'm doing well.

Story

When my car was new I drove it everywhere. I was a child welfare worker and I would often fill the backseat with child car seats. The kids and I would turn on kid friendly music and sing loudly as we traveled down the highway. It always seemed to calm them down.

Pros

I really like the visual appearance of the Elantra. It has reasonable storage and built in XM radio. Of course nowadays, most vehicles probably do.

Cons

There are many negative issues to note. First the door speakers are really not meant to jam to a loud radio as I busted mine within a few months of buying my car. Secondly, I do not like the mechanics of laying the back seats down - it is much like an acrobatic motion. You must pull a handle in the trunk at the same time you are pulling the back seat down. I'm sure they could have found a way to simplify this. Lastly, I do not think these cars are made to last. So if you are lucky enough to able to afford a new car every few years, then by all means by an Elantra but otherwise try somethin... (more)

2008 Hyundai Elantra - A sturdy loveable and smooth ride

This vehicle was the first car I ever had, and it was a gift from my parents for my seventeenth birthday. Overall, I really loved and still love my Hyundai Elantra. It runs quietly, gets great gas mileage, and is also just a cute car. Maintenance is simple, and it's always gotten me where I need to be. If I had to choose a first car again, I might do the same.

Story

Going on drives through the countryside with my widows down in my car is always a top tier moment.

Pros

The top positives about the Hyundai Elantra are the gas mileage, the simplicity of maintenance, and the efficiency of the engine in general. My 2008 Hyundai Elantra gets a little over thirty miles per gallon on the highway, and in the city it's not too much worse. I know I can get about four-hundred and fifty miles on one full tank of gas, and it's been consistently reliable in that aspect for over one-hundred and fifty-thousand miles. That's where another pro comes in, the efficiency of the engine. My car never has had serious engine problems as long as oil and coolant have been present. ... (more)

Cons

If I had to choose a con about my 2008 Hyundai Elantra, it would be the intermittent troubles I had with the computer system and the electronics of the vehicle sometimes draining my battery or malfunctioning in other ways like lights staying on after I'd turned them off or the locks not working at times, things like that I'd have to get looked at on occasion.
