2010 Elantra Touring, manual, no other options, OTD 15,000
 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
When you say OTD I assume you mean $15,000 plus tax, title and license. Sticker on the car is $16,715 so that's over 10% off sticker. A good deal by me.
 
If that price includes T,T and L then you stole it for that price.

Agreed - INV w/dest = $16,245
             TMV (NOVA area) w/dest = $16,603
 
However, that's with the 2010 rebate of only $500.00
If you picked a 2009, the rebate would be $1500...just a thought...

===========================
 
I'm reading your OTD price as $18,6xx PLUS TTL. If you are getting a low interest rate, then that is a good deal. You are at $2,300 below sticker and I can't imagine you'd do better anywhere else.
 
Don't pay 8 or 9% interest these days though. That blows your good deal out of the water.

You got that right. Austin Telco FCU is quoting 3.69% for up to 60 months.

Why is the choice (?) or lack thereof in the exterior color so limited with the light interior? I live in the south, and DO NOT WANT a black interior, or for that matter exterior either. Thanks, but no thanks. Why can I not order something I would like? I think the black exterior looks beautiful, but would never consider buying one. I feel the same way about the inside. Where is the choice in "build it yourself"? Why even have a build it yourself ?
I know, different strokes for different folks.. oh well..

6' 2" and 325 lbs.Would I be comfortable in a 2010 Elantra? by bigdave02

My old car is dead, and I need to get a new car ASAP! I used to drive a 1989 Eagle Summit (Mitsubishi Mirage) for 15 years that I loved.It was surprisingly roomy for my 6'2" 325 lbs. physique.I just drove with the driver seat pushed all of the way back, and tilted back one notch.Alas the car eventually died, and I bought a used 1998 Lumina which was the car from hell.Always something going wrong with it.So it is at the point where I can't drive it anymore, and it is not worth fixing.It was roomy though, even though I had to tilt the seat back a notch or two for my height.
 
My friend thinks that the 2010 Elantra will be too small for me, and that the bucket seats won't hold up.I did have to replace the driver's seat in my Summit/Mirage, but that was after like eight or ten years.
 
I know that the Elantra is good with head and leg room.But what about width? It is good for tall drivers, but is it also roomy enough for 'Big' drivers? Any other 'Big' people out there drive 2009/2010 Elantras? How is the room?
 
I am considering the 2010 Elantra GLS with option package, the SE, and the Touring.All with Automatic.I only drive about 4K miles a year, and am looking for a cheap but super reliable car, mainly that will accommodate my 6'2", 325 lb. bulk!
 
Corolla doesn't sound good for tall drivers.I like the Elantra: its price, reliability, head and leg room.But still worried about my girth in it.Also, looking at the Kia Forte and Ford Fusion.Don't want to spend what an Accord or Camry would cost me! Any info greatly appreciated! Of course I am going to test drive any car before I buy it.But getting to the dealership is going to be pain.So I want to find cars before then that can accommodate my bulk! Thanks, Dave!

If were you I'd first take an Elantra for a long test drive. If that seems OK to you, then I recommend you rent an Elantra for a couple of days (2007-2010 seating is all the same). Many rental companies have them, e.g. Hertz and Enterprise. Drive it as much as you can during that time (get an unlimited miles rental of course!). That will give you a good idea if you'll be comfortable in it.
 
One thing: SE and Touring have a telescopic wheel, which might help you find a comfortable driving position. I think the Touring has a lumbar adjustment also.

Having driven both the Elantra sedan and Touring, I'm sure that your height won't be a problem--there's gobs of headroom--especially on the Touring. The interior space is pretty open too, so I doubt that you would feel confined. But as Backy said, the only way to know for sure is to try one out.
 
The Elantra has a reputation for having more space than most cars in its size/price range. Please write back after you've driven one and let us know whether or not you feel comfortable in it.
