  Wonderful Change - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By dan - June 1 - 11:26 am

  My wife and I decided to buy a smaller, fuel efficient car but wanted room to haul purchases, etc. We downgraded from a big car sedan. WE are so happy that we made the switch. We get great gas mileage and the car handles well and is fun to drive. The ride is a bit stiff - especially after driving a large car. Love this car! The only problem is that we fight over whos going to drive!

  Brand New CAr - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By scottygirl - May 13 - 10:03 am

  Just bought the new Hyundai Touring brand new to this country. So far it has been fun to drive. I like the way it handles in the city.It was between this car and a Honda Accord. The touring sits up a little higher then the Honda. Also got more for my money and a trip odometer.

  Great for Commuting - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By NCdrvr - November 12 - 2:00 am

  Based on good CR ratings for the Elantra SE sedan, I bought the Touring model when it first came out. Not easy to find with the manual transmission - but I preferred the performance of the Hyundai 2.0 engine with 5 spd over the Toyota Matrix 1.8 engine. Some reviewers have found this car to ride a little rough, but personally I think other Hyundai models are a little too spongy. This car is very roomy for its size - I managed to get a 9 cu. ft. freezer in the back with room to spare. More than enough space for four adults - rear seats are another advantage over the Toyota Matrix or Mazda 3 hatchbacks. Im averaging 29 MPG in commuting, 34 on long trips - would like to see a 6 spd manual.

  4k on my Elantra Touring... - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By whiteh2opdlr - April 26 - 12:40 am

  Choose out of Vibe, Mazda3 5D, and another pickup. Very pleased with the car so far, the fuel economy is slightly disappointing for a small 4cyl car, but is passable after driving a pickup for 10 years. Handles great, comfortable on long drives, and have no major issues with the car so far.

  I have had the car for over a week and so far it is alot of fun. The car is easy to get in and out of for a tall person 59. Handles well around corners.

  One swell car - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By Zoots Best Buddy - March 6 - 4:56 pm

  My wife and I test drove the Toyota Matrix and Corolla, Honda Fit and Civic, and various used Subarus. This was the absolute best combination of interior space, looks, price, value and warranty coverage. After the first 2500 miles, were more convinced than ever we made the right decision.

  Great all-around car - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By SacDriver - December 24 - 9:00 am

  Wife and I spent a few months looking for a good mid-sized hatchback/wagon, this one was it. The matrix, and Mazada3 didnt even compare. Im picky about my cars and usually buy Japanese. This has been a great family car over the last 6 months. Im 62 and I fit comfortably in this car. This car is not the Elantra, it is the German designed i30, handles like a Euro car and is built much better. This not only is the most well rounded mid-sized wagon its also the best priced. Love car so far!

  Love the Touring - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By Liz - June 15 - 5:26 am

  Had a 1992 Honda Civic hatchback before this and wanted another Civic but I found I could get more for my money with the Touring. Ive driven if for about 600 miles so far and I love it more each day. It has everything I was looking for and more; good safety features, lots of cargo space, fun to drive, my tall friends say the backseat is much more spacious than expected and very comfortable. I got the vivid blue color and its awesome. I also love the black interior but it does show anything left behind of the fabric like lint from clothing. I would suggest the sports package (sunroof, 17 inch alloy wheels, and heated seats). Im getting on average around 24-25 MPG (mostly city driving).
