#89 of 150 elantra touring by inharmsway Jan 13, 2008 (11:09 am)
Backy and others.   What are your thoughts on the Elantra Touring 5-door coming out in a few month? Replies to this message: backy (Jan 13, 2008 4:11 pm)

Replying to: inharmsway (Jan 13, 2008 11:09 am) Right now the Elantra Touring is near the top of my "consider" list for when I buy a car this fall, along with the 2009 Fit. Of course I'll have to drive both of them, and I'll have to see how the IIHS side crash test comes out on the Elantra and what its price is relative to the base Fit. I like what I've seen of both cars so far.   But maybe we should discuss this in the appropriate Elantra discussion vs. an issues discussion, since there are no issues yet on the Elantra Touring.

Now pressing the little button won't make it pop after 6 months and perhaps 10 uses of that storage space. Glad I only left a lens cleaning cloth in there. Will see what the dealer says.
#93 of 150 2007 elantra. traction and antilock brake issue by mariogp Feb 15, 2008 (10:18 pm)
first winter with my 07 elantra. very bad traction in the snow. coming from 98 escort I never had this problem before. could it be becuase the escort was heavier or just had better traction?. or do you guys/gals think that changing the tires will resolve this problem. wheels like to spin on take offs like there is no tomarrow. other issue..MOST CONCERN.. ON ICY OR SNOW COVER roads the elantra has a hard time stoping. the antilock kicks in really quick making harder to stop the car. the brake pedal presure feels like jelly. any ideas? tire replacement.. or CAR REPLACEMENT?

Replying to: mariogp (Feb 15, 2008 10:18 pm) 1) Your Elantra has more power and torque than your Escort, so use a light foot on takeoff, especially when it's slippery. You might also try getting winter tires if you want more traction in ice/snow--they can make a world of difference. 2) Learn how to drive a car with ABS. If the car has a hard time stopping with the ABS engaged, it probably means you are driving too fast for conditions. ABS won't help you stop all that much shorter, but it will help you maintain control of your car.   If the brake pedal really feels like jelly, you might want to have that checked by the dealer. I've driven several 2007-8 Elantras and none of them had brakes that felt like jelly.

Replying to: mariogp (Feb 15, 2008 10:18 pm) It does sound like a case of lead foot: both accellerating and braking. Replies to this message: mariogp (Feb 16, 2008 9:22 pm) bhmr59 (Feb 17, 2008 5:39 am) backy (Feb 17, 2008 6:01 am) mariogp (Feb 18, 2008 9:31 am)

Replying to: bhmr59 (Feb 16, 2008 7:51 pm) well.. it only feels like jelly whenever the antilcok is engaged. I gues I'm guilty as charged. speedo   my milage has also been worst.. lately only drive about 1 mile both ways.. milage has been below 20..with long warm ups in the cold winter. when I was driving city/expressway.. I was geting 30+.   If only I had gotten the se or limited model.. Replies to this message: bhmr59 (Feb 17, 2008 5:39 am) backy (Feb 17, 2008 6:01 am) mariogp (Feb 18, 2008 9:31 am)

Replying to: mariogp (Feb 16, 2008 9:22 pm) Those long warm ups don't help your MPG.   You are getting zero MPG when the car is running and not moving.

Replying to: mariogp (Feb 16, 2008 9:22 pm) Why do you wish you had gotten an SE or Limited? It wouldn't go any better in the ice/snow. For 2008 that's a different story, though, as the 2008 SE has standard electronic stability control with traction control--would help control wheel spin on takeoffs.
