Weird, I do not know where she got the 3750 miles number from then. According to Edmunds, it seems like it is recommended every 7500 miles. I will have to ask to see a manual next time I go to the dealership. Thank you for the responses.

Just bought a Touring last night from Flemington NJ. Took advantage of the C4C rebate and traded in my 95 Chevy Pickup with 267k on it for the Touring. Got the base model, black on black, automatic for $12.5 with the trade and all rebates. The car had a sticker of $19,980. I drove the SE first and didn't think it had the pep or handling that the Touring has. I pushed the speeds on the highway this AM and it handled well for the quick burst above the speed limit. Its definitely going to take some getting used to this little car compared to my big old truck, but I'm happy so far.

Can even cruise at 75, but I don't like cruising above 3000 RPMs, and 70 seems to take it right below 3k. I'm wondering what the most fuel efficient RPM is on the engine/automatic combo...might be hard to nail down since the valve timing is continuously variable. I'm coming from a Mazda3 hatch, so I'm having an easier time adjusting. But that's a 2.3L so the Touring has less power than I'm used to also (seems to have more low end torque than the Mazda mill though..the 04 2.3L had to be revved a bit to wake up). Oh, and the Elantra Touring is SOOO much bigger inside than the Mazda3 hatch. Not just the cargo space either: the back seat may as well be out of a Crown Vic by comparison, even with the front seats adjusted for a long-legged 6 footer like me. The front is a lot roomier too..you loose a bit of the cockpit feel you get from a Mazda3 but everything still falls to the fingers easily. I almost miss my sunroof but I hardly ever used it, and I'm really too tall to trade the headroom away: rather elevate the front seat and get some thigh support. Only got the roof on the Mazda because that was the first option they put on the things, and I wanted ABS (which was the second option, heh).

Replying to: fflintstone2 (Jul 31, 2009 10:39 am) The new Mazda3 redesign is ugly looking, IMHO. And not a lot of space inside still. Yet somehow the thing is longer than the Touring. I can understand never getting there. Hyundai's going to steal a bunch of potential buyers from them. |

Just purchased a 2009 Touring in Seattle: $17114 manual with Sport Package,Bluetooth, Ipod cable, and mats added in. Not the best price in the world but manuals with the Sport package were incredibly hard to find and so we went ahead with the deal. |
