Overview & Reviews
No changes to the Elantra for 1998.
- Tight, well-built, and surprisingly zippy, the Elantra is a compact worth considering.
- Interior fabrics are nasty.

If you can spend the money...upgrade - 1998 Hyundai Elantra
By Warren Burton - June 14 - 2:00 amThe car is 4 years old with 70K miles and wont pass smog by a large margin...this is a warning to you all. Of course the "great" new Hyundai warranty does not cover emissions at this point. The car accelerates so badly you almost get killed every time you have to merge on to the freeway. Using the airconditioning cuts what little power you have in half. Stay away from Romero Motors in Ontario California as they are a bunch of crooks and do not back up the products they sell.

If only I had done some research - 1998 Hyundai Elantra
By tueyjr - May 29 - 2:00 amWhen I bought my Elantra, I was in need of a cheap vehicle fast. I wish I could go back and choose a bike, a three-legged blind mule, or a good pair of shoes. This was the worst buy. I began to think the check engine light was supposed to be on all the time. It was ok, though, because of Hyundais warranty...right??? Well not if the warranty department claims nothing is wrong. It also liked to shift in and out of gears at constant speed and elevation, but according to the warranty department this was normal too. HMMM!!! I will never buy a Hundai product again.
