Paid sticker price less $2,000 rebate. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
The Elantra is about $4000-$6000 less than a comparable vehicle from Japanese car makers. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Cash 4 clunkers got me to look. Consumer Reports rated #1. 1st looked @ Civic,Corola. Had better head room w/sunroof, best warranty, best price, Best brakes, towing capacity, interior room. I NEVER thought Elantra, EVER, Now I take it out, "just 4 a ride" |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Best small car for the money right now. |
| 2009 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Same price can only get me a average or less than average featured Civic or Corolla. Toyota and Honda both refused to provided payment plan due to not enough history, Hyundai just picked me up right away. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The Hyundai cost less money out-the-door than a Civic without air-conditioning or a corolla without anti-lock brakes. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
See above. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Price was about $17k. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
2008 Elantra SE seemed to offer a lot of value for money; with the features I now have, I would have paid a lot more money with a Civic, Corolla or some other option. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
I got a no haggle price. I just called the dealership, told the salesperson my price, and the cash deal(at my price) was complete in about 3 hours of my phone call. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
very cheap for what you get |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
A lot of bang for the buck! |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Rebate allowed this car to be had, including extended warrantyu if desired, for about $1000 less than most comparable Totyate Corolla LE. Honda was no where near close ($3000 more). |

Good price/value |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |

I was able to get a good interest rate and what seemed like a good final price from the dealer. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
$4000-5000 less than any US or Japanese of equal options and size. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
The price was reasonable and the interest rate was good for the time. |
| 2005 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Considering all the features that came with the car, plus the cost of operating, and insuring the car, the Elantra is an economical car. |
| 2005 | 4dr Hatch 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Great price at the time for the size of vehicle |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Is/was a bargain price, great value |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |

Best bang for the buck! Car comes fully loaded at a reasonable price |

Brand new it costs less than some competitors used prices. |

were affordable for the amount of car you were getting. |
| 2003 | 4dr Sedan 135-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
it was cheaper then a civic |
| 2002 | 4dr Hatch 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 5-speed manual FWD |
Used Elantras are quite cheap. Any car of the same year/size/class with the same features/options would cost significantly more. |

| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
Car was priced at $13,999 making payments under $200 a month. |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 177-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed shiftable CVT FWD |
We lease for $250 a month for 24 months and 15,000 miles per year with only $500 down. Payments include tax. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
VERY inexpensive to own & maintain |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
They were pretty darned inexpensive new, and downright cheap used. |
| 2004 | 4dr Sedan 126-horsepower 1.8L I4 4-speed automatic FWD |
Paid $14,000 |
| 2002 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |

| Price of the Nissan Sentra: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
I think this car is slightly overpriced. Though depending on when and where you buy, there is potential for a good deal. |
| 2007 | 4dr Sedan 140-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD |
To get the essential features, you are forced to buy overpriced bundles with trivial value features. |
| 2006 | 4dr Sedan 175-horsepower 2.5L I4 6-speed manual FWD |
seems like for 25k fully loaded yu shld get leather and a little bit more thoughtfully tuned suspension |
