  Finally bought a Hyundai - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By fearthevoices - January 2 - 10:56 pm

  A family member has had 6 Hyundais, never having a serious issue with any of them, even in some of their early models. With a track history like that, I knew someday wed buy one too. Im over 6 and am very comfortable in this car, and find the seats very supportive too. Handling is great, ride may be a bit firm for some though. Car is very quiet on the highway, a big change from our last Saturn. Fit an finish are great, even impressed my neighbor who owns 2 Mercedes. Ill be looking at Hyundai when its time to replace my ride; this one is for my wife.

  Great Car - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By Dayton - September 1 - 5:30 am

  This is our 3rd Hyundai Elantra and we couldnt be happier. This car is great for young families and people who need the extra cargo room but dont want a large vehicle. Recently carried two full size interior doors with ease. Also packed a crib and rocker with minimal trouble. XM radio is great and 17-inch rims turn heads. Recently had someone stop us in traffic to ask us where we got it. Great car for the money, would buy it again.

  One year later - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By Mike - August 20 - 10:40 am

  OK its been one year that Ive had my Elantra Touring. Still cant believe what a great car you get for the money. When I first purchased this car, I had long highway commute to work(42 miles). Recently moved to new closer location (13 miles) with city driving now. Still an amazing ride and very comfortable. Good gas mileage...27 mpg vs 31 mpg with highway driving. Even thinking of trading in our other car, Toyota Sienna for the Hyundai Veracruz!

  Love my Touring!! - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By Karen N - August 17 - 6:53 pm

  This is a great car for the money. It is a sporty hatchback that is quite roomy inside and big enough to haul all my "stuff". Didnt want an SUV but did want the convenience of a hatchback. I test drove all cars in this class and this one won hands down. I averaged 32 on the highway recently and in the city around 28. The Touring also has great safety features.

  Very Happy Touring - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By cinell234 - June 14 - 7:16 pm

  This is an ideal car for a small family. I have also owned VW GTI S I cant say that this even compares but my dollar bought one sweet ride. The real deal would have much more needed power and some quite tires they are really loud on some roads. Its a poor man sports wagon I hope I have similar luck with this Hyundai as others have with the Sonatas it seems like every body likes them even when they have hundreds of thousands of miles. So as of now I only have a few thousand I would recommend this wagon to a friend or even my brother that I did. Good luck on your future purchase other cars to check would be Mazda 3 but will cost you a few more dollars and they dont have a warranty as good.

  Hyundai Touring GLS - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By CandyRee - April 3 - 8:53 am

  Fun car to drive. Nice to have a sporty hatchback again. Great on gas and I get alot of compliments on the car. 2 complaints: seatbelts in the rear do not extend out far enough to hook the seatbelt. Very difficult with a car seat. The second complaint is the power steering motor burnt up at 20,000 miles. Very frustrating on a new car and dangerous.

  winter done review time - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By mark - February 21 - 8:53 pm

  Well, heres my third review of the touring. Made it through another CT. winter. So how was the car in the snow??? With the Hankook tires on car they were ok. Snows really should be used for greater traction. Anti-lock brakes work great. Kind of scared me when they came on, a little loud. All options worked well. So far after 10500 miles I get 33 mpg. city... 40 highway. No rattles or defects as of yet. Had to change cabin air filter not to bad, but you must be careful when removing side tabs...sidearm support easy to detach. Air filter hard to get out. MUST use a screw driver tip to catch edge of filter to get it out. took 20 min. first time. Will go faster next year.

  Back to the Wagon - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By TPA-driver - January 20 - 11:20 am

  Traded in a 1999 Mitsubishi Mirage DS for the Hyundai Elantra Touring. Wonderful drive, nothing bad to write about. Its the Euro Wagon from Hyundai. Price was much lower than a similarly equipped Mazda3.

  More Bang for the buck - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By Paul E - November 9 - 9:03 pm

  After trying out the Matrix, Dodge Caliber, and Mazda 3, the Touring came out on top. The list of standard features is impressive for a vehicle in this price range. Features like 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS, Electronic Stability Control, power windows, key less entry, heated rear view mirrors, to name a few. It even comes with Nitrogen filled tires and nice mags. The ride is smooth and the feel is solid and quiet, again exceeding what one would expect in the price range. The interior is nicely laid out, the fit and finish is excellent, and you gotta love the blue lighting. The interior room for the size car is impressive. A real value for the dollar. Hyundai hit a home run with this car

  Lots of bang for your buck - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By frankjanet - October 9 - 3:23 pm

  Weve owned it for over a month and had one long road trip. Weve loaded it with 3 passengers and 18 2"x10" four foot long boards along with a roll of fencing. We love the capacity and functionality of it. It was comfortable on the trip. Gas mileage was decent, but a 5 speed auto would be great. Weve been getting ~26mpg and thats mostly around town including a carpool line. Considering it is a compact car, its a great car for a small family. We got the premium package and the ride isnt very bumpy. We also havent found the steering to be vague as mentioned in some reviews.
