2009 Hyundai Elantra

Hyundai has come a long way in the U.S., where its cars were once derided as cheap and chintzy - even after making serious efforts to improve quality. Now, indeed, "you get what you pay for" with Hyundais: well-built and reasonably enjoyable cars that don't cut too many corners or try to offer too much at an affordable price. And now Hyundai is becoming true value competition against mainstream brands like Honda, rather than selling competing models for less money. This 2009 Elantra sedan competes with the midlevel Civic of the same year in both price and standard equipment - although it's clear from behind the wheel that this Korean alternative takes fewer risks along with more efficient use of materials (i.e., no leather seating).

The 2009 Hyundai Elantra 4-door sedan is a traditional midsize with rear-wheel drive and a 138 hp 2.0L four-cylinder under the hood, connected to either a manual or automatic transmission. We suspect performance will only be slightly improved over its naturally aspirated counterparts. EPA estimates that it achieves 26/34 mpg in the city and on the highway, just 1 mpg better than we found for other vehicles using this engine.

How to improve the performance of the 2009 Hyundai Elantra?

To improve the performance of the 2009 Hyundai Elantra, Genesis Tuners recommend replacing a few parts. First, get an aftermarket fuel system from Fuel Injector Clinic so you can push out more power to all four wheels of your car! Then, install stiffer coilovers from Bilstein Suspension and tighten them up so they won't sag under heavy loads. Finally, we suggest getting some new exhaust components from Supertech Performance Exhaust to help funnel in colder air into your engine bay while giving off larger amounts of horsepower!

If you're upgrading your exhaust system, then get a Stillen Exhaust System for the Elantra. They make some great sounding and affordable exhaust systems that fit most Hyundai vehicles, including the Elantra from 2009-2010. Their mufflers are made with T304 stainless steel, so they won't rust over time like chrome tips do, which is always nice to know when you have an expensive investment such as a car on top of them.
