So long as that is a Touring A/T with Preimum-Sport package, looks like they are selling it at MSRP, assuming mats are priced at $200

Yes the Grand Touring has leather and heated seats for the pricing in my post.
And you are right, it is not an apples to apples comparison at the pricing listed in Joes post.
 
I'm going to drive the Touring this week.

Starts at about $100 and goes up from there... for a portable unit. Factory nav not available on the Elantra Touring, at least not in the U.S.

my first car...not too sure what to expect by beckpea

i just bought a 2009 hyundai elantra GLS automatic. it has 150 km on it at the moment. yesterday i took it out and when i went from park to drive the gear didn't shift. i pressed the accelerator and the engine just revved because it was still in park. after it finally shifted into reverse and i pulled out of my parking space, i shifted into drive and again, it stayed in reverse. the transmission bumped into drive after about 5 or 6 seconds, but it was enough to cause concern. this hasn't happened before and after those two times, it didn't happen again. the car had been sitting outside in my parking space for two days and during those two days the temperature had dropped to about -35 or -40 celcius. should i be concerned? is this normal for such extreme temperatures? i read in the manual that i should expect a few hiccups from the engine when first breaking it in. is this what they were referring to? if anyone could shed some light that would be great. it's the first car i've ever owned and i really want to take the best care of it as possible.
 
thanks!

How long did you let the car warm up after sitting for 2 days in that cold weather? Automatics are hydraulic, so it could be it's just a matter of the fluid taking a little time to warm up. Keep an eye on it, but if it doesn't happen under more normal circumstances I wouldn't worry about it.

At least 30 seconds in cold weather, but with a car that has sat for 2 days in real cold weather, I would probably let it warm up a little longer than that. Also, when I first shift into D or R I would pause a couple of seconds before actually moving off. Think how you would feel if someone wanted you to "get going" after sitting in -35 to -40 for a couple of days!

2008 elantra or 2009 elantra? by cerkel1

Please help!! I am getting an Elantra GLS with just the basics ( I am that kind of car owner!). There are a few 2008's available and of course the 2009's are abit more expensive. Is there any reason why I should get one year versus the other esp. if I want the best deal possible. Both my sons own Elantra's, a 2004 and 2006 and I am sure that is the car I want. Also, if I decide to get the 2009 is there a way to get a better deal by telling the dealer I'll judt get the 2008 cause it's cheaper! Thanks so much

At this point, no advantage for the 2009 vs. 2008, assuming you are willing to accept the steeper short-term depreciation for a 2008 vs. a 2009 (over the long run, it won't matter much). There are a few small changes for 2009 on the GLS, but they are "late availability" so it's unlikely they are on cars on lots now.
 
Be sure to check the build date and miles on the 2008s--some may have been used extensively as demos, or have been sitting on the lot awhile. You can use that in your negotiating.
 
Advice: don't tell a dealer you'll go for the 2008 unless you are willing to do that.
