Replying to: marlenelin (May 31, 2009 2:59 pm) There is quite a difference in equipment levels between the Civic LX and Elantra SE. Besides the aforementioned stability and traction control, the Elantra has alloy wheels, trip computer, leather-wrapped wheel and shifter, fog lamps, audio controls on the wheel, 60/40 folding rear seat with center armrest, XM radio with 6-speaker stereo, USB jack (I think the 2009 Elantra added that), heated mirrors, not to mention a longer warranty. The Elantra is also considerably roomier, especially in back. The Civic though has a 5-speed automatic, superior fuel economy, and better crash scores. If you are buying mainly based on equipment, the Elantra is the better deal, but the Civic will hold its value better, which is important if you plan on selling it in 2-3 years.

Replying to: backy (May 31, 2009 3:47 pm) Elantra SE is clearly a better deal. More options and reliability should be about the same.

#2916 of 3252 Touring by sandman_6472 Jun 01, 2009 (1:27 pm)
Is this the wagon model? Saw 2 blue Elantra wagon looking cars on the way home earlier and liked what I saw. Has nice lines that look better than the sedan actually. The wife is interested in the Elantra and the wagon looks neat. Bet it's pricey though.   The Sandman Replies to this message: backy (Jun 01, 2009 7:20 pm) carguy2010 (Jun 01, 2009 9:05 pm)

Replying to: sandman_6472 (Jun 01, 2009 1:27 pm) Pricey? I dunno. The Touring with AT lists for a few hundred bucks less than a Civic LX-S AT, but includes extra equipment such as stability control, traction control, fog lamps, heated mirrors, USB port, adjustable lumbar support, leather wheel and shifter, and trip computer. And that is before the current $1500 rebate on the Touring. Lots more room than a Civic also. The back seat is absolutely HUGE--more legroom I think than a Sonata. The days when Hyundais were simply "cheap" are gone. But they offer a lot for the money.

Replying to: sandman_6472 (Jun 01, 2009 1:27 pm) It is the GLS Sedan
#2919 of 3252 Not A Sedan by sandman_6472 Jun 02, 2009 (12:41 pm)
What I saw was definitely not a sedan...it looked like a station wagon and it was very cool. Will check it out as a replacement for my '06 Civic come 2012 or 2013.   The Sandman Replies to this message: marlenelin (Jun 02, 2009 1:23 pm)

Replying to: sandman_6472 (Jun 02, 2009 12:41 pm) What you likely saw was the new Elantra Touring which is a station wagon. I purchased one two weeks ago and I love it. I also have a 2008 Elantra SE Sedan. The ride in the Touring is different than the sedan. It is stiffer and the seats are not as cushy, but I love both cars. Marlene
#2921 of 3252 Exactly by sandman_6472 Jun 02, 2009 (4:00 pm)
Very nice car and will definitely consider it for my next vehicle. Our daughter got an Accent last November and we're very impressed with it. The older girl almost got the '09 Elantra GLS but the dealer and I couldn't agree on a fair price so she got a Versa hatch CVT. But I have no qualms about buying another Hyundai product in the future since the wife also likes the Elantra. She hates wagons though but time will tell.   The Sandman Replies to this message: marlenelin (Jun 03, 2009 3:16 pm)

Replying to: sandman_6472 (Jun 02, 2009 4:00 pm) I don't love wagons, but I traded my 2004 Toyota Sienna LTD which was a real great hauler but heavy to drive. We still needed something to get our daughter's belongings to and from college, so the wagon was the best choice for us. I figure I can stay home, and my husband and daughter can make the trip up to college, and that way the back seat can come down which gives a better chance of getting all her c--p up there.
