Hyundai Elantra Touring

From Edmunds inside line:

Managing Editor Donna DeRosa says:
Hyundai continues to impress with its well-groomed lineup of inexpensive new cars. This adorable small hatchback offers a grown-up ride with a responsive engine, smooth five-speed manual transmission and sure-footed handling.

Running around town was a pleasure. The Elantra is very easy to drive. Mundane weekend errands were actually fun. With 65 cubic feet of maximum cargo capacity, the Elantra Touring holds all kinds of weekend gear and beats the pants off its competition.

I happened to drive this back to back with the new Honda Fit, which is not as long as the Elantra Touring but similar nonetheless. The Elantra has a larger-capacity engine and a much more refined drivability all around. Not as athletic as the commensurate Mazda 3, but sporty enough to not be boring.

Passengers appreciated the comfortable and spacious interior. There are generous amounts of head-, leg- and wiggle room for a small car.

My only beef was with the so-so stereo. My music sounded surprisingly tinny. Considering that our test car came with six speakers and a sophisticated iPod hookup, I expected better sound quality.

The Elantra Touring is a perfect commuter car: decent fuel mileage, enjoyable drive, carries lots of stuff, passengers won't complain, under $19,000 price tag. I call that a bargain.

Not to bad of a review, I don't quite agree with her on the stereo and the feedback we have gotten from the customer doesn't either but overall great marks from Edmunds.

Where alot of manufactures are cutting back Hyundai is surging forward. We finished with a great month in April and are looking forward to a very good May

Thanks for all of your support.
