2009 Hyundai Elantra Real Gas Mileage: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2009 4dr Sedan 138-horsepower 2.0L I4
4-speed automatic FWD		 Engine is 132HP PZEV, not 138 SULEV. Diff in power seems smal but is significant for this car. Mileage worse AND power is less. Unfortunately, states dictate what you can get; CA emissions rule for PA = stupid cop-out/liberal cave-in to greenie-weenies see full Hyundai Elantra review
