I don't have an iPOD, but rather a "standard" MP3 player and was looking forward to connecting it to my radio either through the USB or "Aux" input. Then it occurred to me - why bother? I just copied everything off of my MP3 to my Jump drive and plugged it right into the USB opening and it worked perfectly - I just use the "seek" button to switch between songs...  Now since all the radio will "read" are MP3 extensions, all I have to do is download some software to convert my audio books to MP3 format and I'm ready to go... |

Replying to: tenpin288 (Sep 23, 2009 9:13 am) This contradicts other info I've seen that says the Elantra Blue will be available only with a stick. I am a little disappointed that this Blue edition doesn't measure up to what Kia did with their "high fuel economy" version of the Forte, e.g. include a 5-speed automatic. But it's better than nothing.

I'm disappointed about two things--the fact that there won't be a manual transmission on any Elantra except the Blue, and the fact that the automatic is still a four-speed. I came pretty close to buying an Elantra Touring this summer, and the four-speed automatic was the main reason I didn't.

Replying to: stephen987 (Sep 24, 2009 3:55 am) But the biggest thing I am disappointed about is the poor safety features of the 2010 Elantra. Hyundai used to taut the safety features of their cars (and they still do), and at one time they were pioneers, e.g. the 2006 Sonata was the first "family car" to have ESC standard on every trim, and for 2006 even the low-end Accent sedan had ABS standard. But now the Elantra trails the competition, in crash safety and active safety. Even for 2010, only the top-end SE has stability control. Yet the 2010 Corolla and even the low-bucks Yaris have stability control standard on all models. The Forte has standard ESC, as do several other compacts. But not the Elantra. What are they waiting for?  Edit: I think the SE does come available with a stick. Here's a quote from the Hyundai press release: The sport-oriented SE adds all the equipment in the GLS plus ESC with Traction Control and Brake Assist, 16-inch alloy wheels with 205/55R16 tires, sport-tuned steering and suspension, leather shift knob, telescoping leather-wrapped steering wheel, steering wheel audio controls, B&M shifter and trip computer. I don't think they'd bother with a B&M shifter on a slushbox.
