Replying to: thegraduate (Apr 22, 2008 11:31 am) I own a 2007 Sonata I4 with auto. I got 32 MPG on a recent trip from NC to NY.   I had owned a 2002 Elantra (auto) and averaged 28-30 mpg on my 26 mile round trip to work. With my Sonata I had averaged 25-26 for the same trip. I try to measure my mileage each tankfull by dividing miles on trip counter by gallons.   I hope this info helps!

Replying to: thegraduate (Apr 22, 2008 11:31 am) Try checking the EPA numbers for the 2009 Sonata--they are improved for 2009 over 2008. I don't think they are posted yet on fueleconomy.gov yet though. Replies to this message: thegraduate (Apr 22, 2008 1:31 pm)

Replying to: bpizzuti (Apr 22, 2008 11:22 am) If you want a hatch and factory nav and good fuel economy, your best bet might be the 2009 Fit or Matrix. Then there's the Prius, but it gets kind of pricey. And I read the 2009 SX4 will have nav standard, at a low price.   Personally I never much understood the value of factory nav, when the time I need it most is when I am on a business trip out of town--driving a rental car.

Replying to: backy (Apr 22, 2008 2:32 pm) Is the 2009 Fit going to have VSC/ESC/ESP/VSP or whatever other alphabet soup they use to denote traction and stability control? I haven't found out one way or the other. Replies to this message: backy (Apr 23, 2008 8:18 am) bpizzuti (Apr 23, 2008 8:33 am)

Replying to: bpizzuti (Apr 23, 2008 5:42 am) Yes, VSC will be availble on the Fit for 2009. Replies to this message: bpizzuti (Apr 23, 2008 8:33 am)

Replying to: backy (Apr 23, 2008 8:18 am) Hmm, have to get in one, see if it's comfortable enough to spend 2 hours a day in. I like the seats, heh. Wonder how big the tank will be...
#1631 of 1637 Need help by ibstrat Oct 20, 2008 (6:58 pm)
I am looking at 2008 Elantra vs 2009 civic. The Elantra due to an Oct. promotional deal is about 3,000 cheaper.I'm a little concerned that the Hyundai dealer has about 40 Elantras while the Honda dealer has only a few civics.I have 2 old Saturns that are about to die and not much money.

Replying to: ibstrat (Oct 20, 2008 6:58 pm) I wouldn't base a purchase decision on dealer inventory levels. Maybe the Hyundai dealer just got a shipment while the Honda's were delayed. Maybe the Honda dealer was making better deals. Maybe the Honda dealer is going broke & can't get the credit to stock more vehicles. Maybe the Hyundai dealer is a high-volume dealer and cycles through a larger inventory. There are too many possible factors that have nothing to do with the vehicles themselves.   Both are fine vehicles. Test drive them both; they will be different when it comes to comfort & performance. Then buy the one you like best.
