  Fun to drive, great value! - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By gklblue - May 13 - 4:50 am

  Bought the 5 Speed Manual version with the sport package (17" Alloy Wheels, Sunroof, XM-Radio, etc.)in July 2009 and I looooove that car!!! Had to wait a week (manual is hard to get - dealer got it from a different state 240 miles away). I am from Germany so I love the european style (interior & exterior). Did a lot of research and the Touring was by far the best deal out there. Tons of standard features, overall quality is impressive, I get 26 mp (about 30% Highway driving). The handling is responsive, no complains here. The ride is a little stiff. Engine has enough power for the size of the car. Very roomy, I love the Hatchback versatility!!! Unbeatable Warranty!

  $15998 for 5-speed basic - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By Happy Camper - March 25 - 7:00 pm

  This is the first "small" car Ive owned. Previous three cars were Mercury Sable wagons all of which I put over 200K on. At the top of my list of car priorities is driver comfort as I put over 37K annually on a vehicle! Im 63", 270 and the Touring is VERY comfy!

  This is NOT a boring car! - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By LuvMyTouring - March 13 - 9:03 pm

  After a couple of very happy years driving my 2007 Elantra GLS, I was fairly certain Id be just as pleased with the Elantra Touring. To tell the truth, Im more than happy ... I LOVE my red, chili pepper Touring! Its sporty-looking, vibrant and fun to drive. All that plus the roomy interior, ample cargo space, and zippy engine Id learned to love in my original Elantra.

  Great little car! - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By janjer1 - December 21 - 11:16 am

  Bought this to carry my drums to and from gigs. Has plenty of cargo space and very comfortable for long highway trips. Have the manual trans which is very tight shifting - no slop between gears - nice. Have over 5k miles now and fuel economy is over 30mpg according to the dashboard indicator. Very happy with this little gem - yay Hyundai!

  Update on my 7/28/09 review - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By Happy Camper - December 4 - 7:46 am

  I absolutely LOVE this car! I have yet to find something I really dont like about it. Best mpg to date is 37 mpg on a long cruise-controlled drive to New York state and back! Someone else, here, noted an issue with the cd player: cracks and pops from a brand new cd. But I dont care, really. Who even WANTS to listen to cds what with the fabulous XM radio music selection?! Contrary to my earlier request for more horsepower, it really doesnt need it. The Touring has ample get-up-and-go for this 55 y.o. And Im still discovering neat design features that Hyundai engineering deserves great kudos for.

  Love the "Black Turtle" - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By lingcuisine - November 5 - 1:53 am

  Our hatchback looks like a black turtle from outside. Provides great traction in slippery roads. ABS, side air bag, stability control are all standard. Interior build quality is impressive with nice-feeling foams and net-like cloth covers. The on-wheel audio control is handy, so is the rear window wiper. My family of 5 sit comfortably inside with plenty of space for extra bags. Ive hauled a mattress foam in the back with no problem. Only problem is the noise at high RPM. It has great surround sound. Great car with plenty of utility and value-added items.

  my second Elantra - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By eba55 - November 4 - 5:30 am

  Its been only one week, but I love it! Great improvement over the old one I was driving- much more comfortable. I never had any problems in six years which is why we bought another one. I cant believe all the standard equipment it comes with. Very fun to drive and sporty looking in the silver. Got right on 26 mpg city on the first tank. Cant wait for a road trip!

  love it - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By Ellen - October 19 - 6:46 am

  This is my 3rd Hyundai, and the largest one I bought. I love this car, it is easy to drive, maneuver, and I havent found any negative features. Still havent figured out if its a car, crossover or what, but who cares, it is a pleasure to drive. I saw this car, searched for an automatic, and bought it at once.

  Im satisfied - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By lh - October 13 - 4:53 pm

  This is a wagon with great utility and nice design. We had it for more than a year and mostly for city driving with avg 25 mpg. Four adults and one toddler sit in it with plenty of room. When the back seat is folded down a queen mattress pad can fit in with some extra cargo. ABS and ESC are standard and worked well. The interior materials are of great quality, not some cheap foam and plastics. Overall a great buy!

  Chili Pepper Red Elantra - 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring
  By Tom - October 7 - 5:36 am

  When the Cash for clunkers was announced I headed for the Hyundai dealership and there it was. A Chili Pepper red Elantra Touring just begging to be bought. Took a quick test drive and told the salesman to put a sold sign on it. Easiest decision I ever made. I absolutely love this car. Quick, precise steering, peppy enough and, to my eyes, a beauty to behold (love the color). Throw in great brakes, XM radio, handling that makes Ozark mountain curves a blast to drive and lots of room to haul stuff in and you have one happy owner. Im getting 29.7 MPG combined. The stiff suspension (which I like)is the price you pay for good handling.
