2009 Hyundai Elantra Reviews, Pricing & Specs

I thought it’s overpriced but it is a good car

I liked the gas mileage and comfort of this car. I only had to do maintenance on it, had no problems. This car is affordable and reliable and good quality. Looks sharp and has lots of trunk space. Great for first car or family car.

What a gem. Purchased 2009 Elantra GLS 3 weeks ago. Much better MPG than expected (Consistently 35 MPH). Handling much smoother than expected and interior very quiet. Previous car was barebones 2002 Accent so this was a big step up. Excellent placement of speaker, interior roomy and comfortable. 5 speed has very short shift pattern but that is okay. Love cruise control. Lots of nooks and crannys to store stuff. Huge trunk. perfect for road trips and fun on the go but still practical for commuting.

This car is a fantastic value - the gas mileage is unbeatable! With an average of 28 mpg, I am in LOVE with this car. The only complaint I have right now is that I cannot get my phone to connect to the bluetooth but that is either because the technology doesnt match or I dont know how to use it!

I've used this car strictly for work, it has been great and reliable. Having a manual transmission it has more power than I expected with a 4 cylinder engine, it handles well and is fun to drive. I hate to sell it but my circumstances require it.

it's better than that crappy Accent I had!! interior and exterior are nice, braking is kind of touchy, got the extended warranty so i'm good till i hit 100k, very roomy interior and trunk, good on gas, came with an aux jack which is very nice.

This is a great car for the money. Hyundai has made great strides since they first arrived in America. There's still a perception of low build quality, but having driven many cars at my old job (delivering automotive press cars for journalists to test and write about), I can personally attest to it's solidity. It may not get as much in terms of resale value, but the warranty can't be beat. The motor is peppy, especially with the 5-speed manual, as long as you keep in mind that it's a Hyundai, not a hot rod (though owners of the Genesis would surely protest that statement). It sips gas, so it scores strong on practicality. I'm not too wild about it's looks, but it's very roomy inside while compact on the outside. Lots of good amenities, no major problems to date. The steering is a little vague, but other than that, it has good pickup and decent brakes. It would benefit from better tires, but like I said, a solid commuter, not a sports sedan.

Good car, handles good, has enough nuts to get by, looks sporty enough. The warranty is really good can't beat. Have really had no problems with it. Would recommend but I like the newer versions too. Get it if you can

handles very well, great gas mileage, plenty of room for the family, very well styled inside. finsihed very nicely inside. No funny noises while driving. Love how it handles in any weather. Great extras, heated seats in the front, extra cup holders in the back that are in the arm rest, heated sideview mirrors, cruise control, 6 speakers, mp3 connection, should have taken the sport model which comes with the sunroof and fin in the back with radio controls on the stearing wheel.
