#1637 of 1637 Hyundai Elantra Touring bests Honda Accord and Fit by srslle Oct 27, 2009 (7:09 pm)
I love my new Elantra Touring. I like it better than the Honda Acoord and Fit. It is more car than the fit and a better upright ride, with alot more room than the Accord. Though it doesnt have the drag-racing quality of the Mazda 3 it is alot of fun to drive. The handling is precise, it has great pickup and even has a little of the go-cart quality of the Fit. That's a good thing. With XM radio its even more fun. I bought the lifetime subscription to XM. If I ever sell the car the subscription goes with it, so there's no loss in value. I was a little concerned about mileage but I am getting 30 mpg or more consistently in suburban driving here in Westchester county, NY. It's the best car I've ever owned. And I only paid $18,800 for the full SE version. Oh and those heated cloth seats are great. No cold-to-the-touch sensation when you first get in. It's also got almost all the safety equipment thats out there. All it needs is daytime running lights. Perhaps there's a kit available for that. When you test drive it make sure the tires are properly iflated. They come off the truck with too much pressure and that affects the ride.
