2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring - CNET Reviews
We'll admit that we set our expectations fairly low for the 2009 Hyundai Elantra Touring. However, in a few places the Elantra Touring managed to exceed them. The Hyundai Elantra Touring's cabin tech package is rather basic and doesn't offer much in the way of upgrades. The standard six-speaker stereo features AM/FM radio and a single-slot CD player with MP3 playback capabilities. In the center console, we find a standard 1/8-inch auxiliary input and USB port for portable storage devices. MP3 folders are navigated by twisting a dial, and songs are selected by pressing the dial's center. You won't be blown away by the quality of six paper-cone speakers, but you won't be overwhelmed by distortion and rattling door panels, either. Lacking a dedicated subwoofer, the bass has a tendency to muddy the midrange, but distortion can easily be dialed out with the three-band equalizer. Optional equipment on our Vivid Blue Elantra Touring starts with a Bluetooth hands-free kit. An optional 30-pin iPod dock cable plugs into both the auxiliary audio input and the USB port in the center console to give the driver full access to the iPod file system through the stock headunit.
