2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...the automatic isn't a bad deal, but if you're someone who prefers a manual yet is hesitant to get one for commuting, this is one to consider. Touring Evokes Touring If you're looking for super sportiness, you won't be quite as impressed, even if you get the Premium Sport Package, which my test car had. Though light, the clutch pedal doesn't give much feedback, and the stick is tall of height and long of throw; it does the job, and that's about all. In terms of handling, the Touring once again evokes touring. Body roll is prominent in aggressive cornering, and the steering is a bit numb and... |

2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...The more congested the traffic, the better it seems to behave. It can wiggle its way around almost any obstacle in daily urban motoring. Also, the little hatchback (officially classified as a "compact") isn't as little as it seems. It can hold 65 cubic feet of cargo, as much as many compact sport-utility vehicles. But "hold" is not the same as "carry." Fitting cargo into a vehicle is one thing. The way that vehicle carries cargo is quite another. Think of it as the heavy lifting often required by the work of love. Many relationships collapse under the strain of carrying that load. And so it... |

2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring Professional Cars.com ReviewSource: Cars.com...But that is what you get in the Elantra Touring, a car that offers so much for the money, it makes you suspicious. You start trying to figure out where Hyundai has cut corners, what cheapskate magic has been worked to give you so much for so little. I thought I had found it in the suspension work, which did not seem to fare terribly well over potholed and pock-marked city streets. But now I'm not so sure. I drove two versions of the Elantra Touring -- one with manual transmission and 16-inch radial tires and the other with automatic transmission and 17-inch radials. The model with the bigger... |

2009 hyundai elantra Professional Edmunds ReviewSource: Edmunds...Leather upholstery can also be added to that package. Powertrains and Performance: The front-wheel-drive Elantra is powered by a 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine good for 138 hp and 136 pound-feet of torque. Both trim levels can be equipped with either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic. In California-emissions states, automatic-equipped Elantras are certified as squeaky-clean Partial Zero Emissions Vehicles (PZEV) but are rated for 132 hp. In performance testing, an Elantra with the five-speed manual went from zero to 60 mph in a respectable 8.4 seconds. Fuel economy also is right... |
