I just purchased a Touring GL up here in Canada. I know the trim levels are different here than in the US. I have a mini usb conector (cell phone/blackberry size) on the stereo unit above the aux input (not in the arm rest like the GL sport). I was wondering if the USB port is used to power mp3 players which would plug in through the AUX input or if it can actually be used with a portable drive to read MP3s? I've looked in the manual and there are like 10 stereo units but none of them match mine? Any ideas...especially people from Canada? May just pop by the dealership next time I am in the area. |

Guarg is right if you are looking for the smoother ride - but I specifically wanted the 17" because I felt that the roll in the corners from the 16" was just not worth a little bit of cushioning. To me the 16" wheels make the Touring drive like a minivan. If that is what you want then go for it.

Replying to: tifighter (Aug 14, 2009 9:30 am) Now they have 3 styles but they all have the same drivetrain. It looks to me like the SE just gets the $1500 option pack as standard plus a short throw shifter on the MT. The "base" GLS looks like just a base with either the AT or the MT. I guess I'm wondering if they deleted some content from the GLS manual to get it $1800 cheaper. If not, that's really good to see. I don't think they are selling a lot of them at the current $18,520 base price (although there is a $1,500 incentive on the '09s). Steve, visiting (and still tire-kicking) host |

Bought a 2009 touring using the C4C- the dealer was jammed, hard to get attention, much less a test drive. There was one Touring on the site last weekend and when we went in the next day it was gone. Dealer was able to find another for us and we went through with purchase. This is in northern CA but apparently NO tourings anywhere- so very little off MRSP besides a $1500 cash incentive. Dealer called next day to say the color (carbon gray) NOT available, just the black. We were pushed to take possession of car when it arrived the next evening, against my better judgement. 198 miles on the odometer. Next morning inspected car at home and found several scratches. Crappy customer service in regards to getting attention for this but did eventually have to bring it in, drop off for three hours and they addressed the scratches. When I went to pick up there were still four small yet noticeable scratches on driver's door- (ie. fingernail catches). Said this wasn't acceptable to me- it's a new car for crissakes and I paid a premium. They said they'd look at it again and left us waiting. Just so strange, we left. Went to body shop next morning and got estimate (about $600 to sand down, repaint but two door panels due to matching paint panels). Dropped it off at dealer (please note- no one was taking ownership of this, not our saleman, not the manager, not the Big manager), sent corresponding email to Big manager. They called, spoke to husband and will do body work next week at one of their contractors. I feel like I'm getting less than what I paid for- like they should have just come down on the price $1000 and apologized profusely, instead of giving me what's becoming like a salvage car in my mind, never mind my time on the additional trips back and forth to the dealer. I have barely driven this car because it just seems stained. The excitement of buying a new car has been replaced with feelings of having been taken and poorly treated. Sooo...any sage advice re asking more cash back on top of the repair, or in lieu of the repair, or "let it go" because with repairs/repaint car will indeed be as good as new, and my week plus of anxiety over it all is just water under the bridge?? (Our other cars are Honda Pilot, and Acura RL- were treated like royalty with those purchases).

I am in the market for a Elantra Touring but I cannot find one in my area. I have contacted many dealers and they just dont have one. Some say that the 2010 is on its way and one actually said its "in the port" ready to be unloaded and should be in the dealership in 2 weeks. Another deal said "what are they talking about there is NO news WHEN the 2010 is coming out!" So who do I believe here???? I would like to take advantage of the "cash for clunkers" deal but how long can I wait for the 2010s and are they coming or not?

Replying to: woofbarkboo (Aug 17, 2009 2:18 pm) If there's dealers within 100 miles you could work phone/email, and just tell them you're quite distant, and that you don't want to waste the trip unless they have one for somewhere near the right price, to make the trip worthwhile for you. |

I test drove an '09 base model and an '10 SE. I liked the '09 better. Then I saw a new '10 base model at another dealer. They don't have alloy wheels anymore! Just crappy plastic wheel covers. That's how they knocked $1800 off the price. Too bad because I think the 16" wheels ride and handle better than those ghetto 17" ones.
