I saw some 2010 Elantras at my local dealer today. Without close inspection it's hard to tell them from 2009s, visually. Here's the differences I noted: * The new Blue trim gets a "Blue" badge (in blue, of course) next to the Elantra badge on the trunk lid. * The plastic piece over the rear license plate has a bit of chrome added along the lower edge, looks classier. * New grille, with a bit of chrome, but still horizontal bars--looks nicer, but hard to tell apart from the old grille unless a 2009 is side-by-side (which was the case). I think this is an attempt to tie the Elantra visually to the likes of the Genesis and 2011 Sonata. * A bit higher FE numbers, especially on the Blue but also on the regular Elantras. * Metallic trim on the wheel and center stack and console is now a brushed-aluminum look, and looks better to me than that patterned stuff on the 2007-9 Elantra. * Door handles and lock buttons on doors are chromed vs. silver painted. * Center console has been redesigned and looks nicer, with a flip lid over the cup holders. * I saw an SE with the new black interior, which has patterned inserts but looks like the same cloth as the grey interior but is... black. * Not sure if the 2009 SE had this, but the auto shifter has a chrome insert on top. (Host, do we need a 2010 Elantra discussion now?) |

2010 Elantra Touring, manual, no other options, OTD 15,000. I live in northern virginia. Is this a good deal? How much more can I negotiate? Shall I ask for a 2009 model instead (somehow I thought the 2009 model is better)? Thank you very much.

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.

Replying to: dodgeman07 (Sep 30, 2009 11:23 pm) 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... |

What do you guys think? MSRP - 20935 OTD (Including 7% tax and title) - 20071 No money out of pocket. No trade.

Replying to: thailux (Oct 06, 2009 3:49 am) OTD (Including 7% tax and title) - 20071 No money out of pocket. No trade. =========================== 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.

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.. van |

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!
