Replying to: hutch7 (Dec 27, 2008 5:56 pm) Does it stack up better in side impact tests, by today's measures, than your '08 Elantra? |

Nope...traded the Taurus for a nice safe Elantra! Yes....I feel the fool! Good luck guy's, I'll be over in the Corolla forum...

Replying to: hutch7 (Dec 27, 2008 5:56 pm) And while other makes have their problems spots, Hyundai has yet to ever produce a car (not truck or minivan) that received a "Good" side impact score. Pretty sad.

Replying to: GCF (Dec 28, 2008 8:11 am) Fixed. Hyundai Genesis, for example, has not been tested by the IIHS. It has received 5 stars across the board on the government NHTSA test, including rollover rating, a rare thing on the passenger car line. Just noticed 5 stars across the board occur less than IIHS top picks

Replying to: GCF (Dec 28, 2008 10:02 am) Then you would be surprised, and the list is long (in Genesis's pricing range 33-42K, or more): BMW 3er, 5er, Z4, Cadillac CTS, DTS, STS, Chevy Corvette, Chrysler 300, Infiniti G35/G37, Jag X-Type, S-Type, Lexus IS, ES, Lincoln MKS, MKZ, MB C-Class, E-Class, Nissan 350Z, Saab 9-3, 9-5, Toyota Avalon, VW Passat, Volvo S40, S60... And many others not listed, or not tested (almost all $60K+ models). I digress...

Replying to: GCF (Dec 28, 2008 6:09 pm) You started with the line every Hyundai passenger car line produced have not received a "good" score in the IIHS side impact crash test. (By the way, this isn't a Hyundai criticize/bashing thread, this is a thread about the 2009 Hyundai Elantra and Elantra Touring.) Anyway, I corrected you, as not every single passenger car model has been tested. I then pointed out the Hyundai Genesis, for example, aced the governmnet mandated NHTSA test, with 5/5/5/5/5 ratings. You came back and said a car costs this much (not really that much relatively speaking) should have aced the test. So I then listed out a partial but a long list of models (cars only) haven't aced the gov't crash standards (NHTSA), those models with similar pricing range, or more. Interestingly enough, models having achieved 25 stars on the NHTSA government test, especially passenger cars, are a lot less the number of IIHS top picks. This was never intended to be a comparison of the test standards especially since this isn't the place for something like that, so let's get back to the Elantra.
