Purchased a 08' with the standard package (AC, Satellite radio, etc.) out the door cost was mid 14K. We both pick the Elantra as first choice to drive, and only use my Hemi Dodge Ram truck if I need to haul a tractor, haywagon or our RV trailer. Now we wouldn't even consider a Honda or Toyota. Don't know about auto trans model, but 5 speed Elantra is best buy by far, gets great mpg, problem free, fun and comfortable.we are still amazed at what a good deal they are. If anything, we like 08 even better than 05. Only reason for trading into the 08 was to get cruise control, but extra interior space and standard SM radio have turned out to be nice pluses. Live on farm with rural roads, biggest surprise was the Elantra with 5speed was more fun to drive on the back roads than our 5 liter, 5 speed mustang GT. Absolutely no problems, 35mph on highway, never less than 30. What a really pleasant surprise,we put 25000 on it before trading for 08. We bought 05 5speed new, and got rid of wife's SUV because we wanted gas milage, and because it was really inexpensive. Our 08 Elantra 5speed is 6 months old and 6000 miles.
