Used 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring Hatchback Consumer Reviews
Love my Touring!!
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". Didn't 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
This is an ideal car for a small family. I have also owned VW GTI S I can't 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 thousand's 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 don't have a warranty as good.

This is NOT a boring car!
After a couple of very happy years driving my 2007 Elantra GLS, I was fairly certain I'd be just as pleased with the Elantra Touring. To tell the truth, I'm more than happy ... I LOVE my red, chili pepper Touring! It's sporty-looking, vibrant and fun to drive. All that plus the roomy interior, ample cargo space, and zippy engine I'd learned to love in my original Elantra.
Fuel Economy not what I expected
Great looking vehicle. Good get up and go. Fuel economy is not what I expected. I am getting 23.1 MPG in town. Took one long trip so far, and did manage to get little over 26 MPG on that trip. That was in the rolling hills of CA. I would question why AC in the glove box. My bigest complaint is the position of the steering wheel post on the lower part of the steering wheel. It is right where you would put your hands. I assume they had to put it there to support the air bag? It is unconfortable to hold the steering wheel on the lower part. Drivers seat could be fore confortable!
perfect commuter car
Needed a fuel efficient third vehicle for 52 mile round trip work commute. Looked at several small sedans but lacked space needed to haul horse feed and other farm items. Drove the automatic hyundai touring but seemed a little sluggish. Finally found a manual transmission and the drive was very spirited. Gas mileage in mixed driving around 31 MPG and just over 33 MPG on the highway. Wish it had a six speed transmission always feels as if you need to shift one more time. Plenty of torque nice and quiet below 4000 RPM. Good list of standard features for the price opted for the sports package with 17 inch wheels and sunroof.
