I just bought a 2017 with 6 speed manual about a month ago now. These videos, on top of the overbuilt engines for reliability and styling as well as the premium package features, sold me on it. Nothing else comes close in the price range. Civic Si's do not have all the creature comforts this car does nor the interior space and cost 3-4k more and finding a used one that isn't overpriced because it's a Honda is ridiculous.
Ian Soderlund The Elantra Sport has a base price of just $21 650 and the golf gti starts at $31 000. The golf is cool too, but you'll pay a decent bit extra and this is abit more unique
yeah, this car is hands down a VERY cool little offering. I'm in the market for a new car and have been researching for a year. I've looked at and test drove all the usuals, VW GTI/R, New Civic sedan and Hatch, Focus ST..... all nice cars with their pluses and m inuses but when taking EVERYTHING into account ie, warranty, reliability, price, performance etc. This one wins. I even went to see its new brother the GT sport and I still come back to this one because of the interior and the exterior styling. I havn't pulled the trigger yet but very close, pretty sure I'm going to go with this vehicle, just checks so many boxes. I'm just trying to figure out if I could fit my mountain bike in the trunk...??
Sean Moore the Kia Forte may have the same engine and overall ergonomics but it lacks the all wheel independent suspension that the Elantra GT sport has.
oscar mora Two different orientations to be honest. This is a lot sportier than the Civic, whereas the civic has a more refined ride and interior. You could say the civic is a better daily driver especially in Touring model with the drivers assistance features but this car is a bit more fun.
Francis Fung cool I myself have a civic touring and wanted to see how they compare with each other, but you get a lot of value and technology with both cars I believe
It's definitely a nice car and possibly my next car in the next couple of years. The only problem is that I wish it was like 250 hp instead of just 201. 201 hp whilst good enough for most daily things just is barely cutting it to be considered sporty by todays standards where many cars are over 300hp.
Monsieur Africain I saw one at my local dealer that was tuned by Blood Type Racing here in Chicagoland. It had a bunch of mods. Sounded great, lots of pops and gurgles from the exhaust. It was raining the day I saw it and it was during rush hour so I didn’t test drive it. I just started it up. Went back a couple days later and it was sold!!! I’m kind of waiting for the new Veloster N version to come out later this year. We currently have a 2015 Elantra Limited that’s my wife’s Dailey driver. I have a company car with a gas card so when I get something, it will sit most of the time except when the weekend comes around.
You should also consider the weight of this type of car. Just being around 3000lbs & 200hp is actually pretty good. I'm sure at some point there'll be a tune 4 it. If it's not already out there.
Alexis Gomez because you didn't get the premium package. That's $2700 more which gets you premium speakers, sunroof(not sure), blind spot monitoring, and navigation.
Francis is right. I sell Hyundai. The Premium package is needed for Navigation, Sunroof, blind spot detection, Infinity Sound system, Bluelink ect... Its worth it .
digital mop you moron its a dual clutch not an “automatic” if you can tell the difference between the two transmission than you seriously need to educate yourself.
A DCT is more efficient than any manual driver at shifting. Though I am getting mine in manual because you can hold the gears as long as you'd like without it shifting for you (DCT shifts for you even in manual)
the DCT can also accelerate faster because its more effficient in changing gears than humans can with the manual. Go with DCT if u want to a little more pep though i'm not sure if we will notice the difference.
@@Kizzle001 I definitely like the blue lights on Hyundai cars, I have this car, so I KNOW!! stupid statement, it comes down to PREFERENCE!! The wold doesn't just revolve around you .
Luca Tenti maybe because it's nighy and mode is set as a dual screen?? at least its got Android auto / Apple carplay which none of the Mazda model has.
The sound of that thing that switches blinkers is so nice, really premium
Yeah, Hyundai and Kia's cars are really good btw.
Yeah I wish Hyundai and Kia cars still had those sounds but the Elantra in 2017 & 2018 is the only one I've heard this sound in
Driven this car on a twisty mountain road and boy does she feel at home. Such a fun and inexpensive vehicle.
Anyone watch these night drives when they are about to sleep?
Aaron Newby now me
yea any car😂 i watch also because have sleeping problem
At night the gauges look really similar to that of the Mercedes CLA. A really nice inexpensive fun car it seems.

Wow awesome. Definitely the car I'll go for as a next daily sports car
same
Dean Grimsell GTI wouldn't be much more expensive though.
Ian Soderlund The Elantra Sport has a base price of just $21 650 and the golf gti starts at $31 000. The golf is cool too, but you'll pay a decent bit extra and this is abit more unique
i thought gti starts at $26000
my 2015 Gti manual was $25k
Something oddly relaxing about this
I wish that someday this sport version will sales here in Mexico
@4:57 the car on the left looks like their flying lol.
The Hyundai Elantra Sport remind me of the Lexus IS 350 styling
rileypart1 i agree. The rear of both looks similar and gorgeous

What did you end up doing?
Hi Windingroad, how would you compare this DCT gearbox to the DSG from Volkswagen? It does seem to change gears just as smoothly :P
Korean cars are becoming pretty good. We need Chinese cars to take their spot of crappy models lol
We don't need Chinese cars.
When will do 2017 Elantra Limited ??
what is up with the roads where you live? all you hear is thud thud thud thud
This car does sound pretty good, can we get a hatch please!
elantra gt.
sleepybird09 the elantra GT looks classy. I can't wait until it's released this fall
Kia Forte5 sx is the same car as this even dct option.
Sean Moore the Kia Forte may have the same engine and overall ergonomics but it lacks the all wheel independent suspension that the Elantra GT sport has.
TVinmyEye yeah but the elantra gt sport just looks plain to me. And if we're talking just performance they have the same specs.
Saw one of these today. Not bad!
wet day can not try it. good to see your video
Got the same car and I drive during the sunset and play music
Witch car did you like the most. This car, or the Honda Civic touring you drove?
oscar mora Two different orientations to be honest. This is a lot sportier than the Civic, whereas the civic has a more refined ride and interior. You could say the civic is a better daily driver especially in Touring model with the drivers assistance features but this car is a bit more fun.

good video
Good Review
1:10 Why you activated right headlights?? there is no a car behind u pls
Is road noise loud or is it just the recording?
Try a dry surface day!
Please do a 2017 lexus lx 570 night drive
I'm pretty impressive.
I have the se version and it sounds exactly the same as the sport version when I put in it sport mode. Why is that?🤔
Drive an old Civic please

Monsieur Africain well if the engined produced 250Hp you could expect to pay about high 20’s for this car.
buy a mustang, camaro or challenger. this car is more practical though

I’m not sleep I just got up
Couldn't decide between dark grey, white or black. Think I'll go for black.
Sherman Bernard The dark grey looks very good on this car
Too much wind noise it's like if the windows are open?
What does the yellow light indicate?
Sport mode
Is this faster than the new honda accord 2.0t?
No
Milwaukee ?
James Peck looks like north shore IL or southern WI. The car has an IL dealer plate
Can anyone tel me why mine doesn't have the navigation system
Alexis Gomez because you didn't get the premium package. That's $2700 more which gets you premium speakers, sunroof(not sure), blind spot monitoring, and navigation.
Francis is right. I sell Hyundai. The Premium package is needed for Navigation, Sunroof, blind spot detection, Infinity Sound system, Bluelink ect... Its worth it .
i dont think its worth it. Just get a stand for your smartphone to stick on the dashboard and use GPS on it. You save a lot of money
Thank you guys just seen this
i prefer android auto or apple carplay over factory navigation any day of the week, its pretty darn good stuff.
saw automatic straight close this video
digital mop you moron its a dual clutch not an “automatic” if you can tell the difference between the two transmission than you seriously need to educate yourself.
its an elantra
The new Elantra sport is so bad. They need to take the sonata 2020 styling and bring it to the Elantra sport
this car is so😊😍❤️🏅🎖🥇🥈🥉💸💰💵
creepy parking structure
I am 10 years old but my dad will buy automatic car for me
Anyone have a shitty ass car, and keeps watching vids like these wishing they'll get a new one?
Increase the engine size to 2.5L and make it rear wheel drive and id drift every corner on the highway lol
manual is a lot better
Not really, you are losing MPG or KPL
how are you losing mpg with a manual, it's the opposite
A DCT is more efficient than any manual driver at shifting. Though I am getting mine in manual because you can hold the gears as long as you'd like without it shifting for you (DCT shifts for you even in manual)
the DCT can also accelerate faster because its more effficient in changing gears than humans can with the manual. Go with DCT if u want to a little more pep though i'm not sure if we will notice the difference.
well im not buying one for MPG thats for sure ;) Manual all the way :)
Hello! pleas test drive " JAGUAR F-PACE FIRST EDITION F-PACE FIRST EDITION "
I wish they'd stop using blue button lights.
Green would be much easier to read at night. I have this car so I know.
@@Kizzle001 I definitely like the blue lights on Hyundai cars, I have this car, so I KNOW!! stupid statement, it comes down to PREFERENCE!! The wold doesn't just revolve around you .
فاكيو
Shifts pretty slow for a DCT
lol
Front end ugliest
Dude why that car?
Monji Music Why not? it's an amazing car that appeals to allot of people watching this guy's videos
Monji Music not everyone has the money to buy a m3 or huracan this is a realistic good all around car
Monji Music why not???
I would get a mazda 3 gt anytime over this turbo crap and the gps lags on the graphics lol never saw that before !!
Luca Tenti maybe because it's nighy and mode is set as a dual screen?? at least its got Android auto / Apple carplay which none of the Mazda model has.
Mazda is getting Android Auto / Apple CarPlay this year on all of their Kodo cars.
Young Chang but the mazda gps works well lol doesn't need android auto an apple carplay i have a mazda 3 gs 2017 an it's really good !!
I agree, my friend has a CX-5 and it's one of my most favorite systems to use.
then why are you watching this?
Nice video quality but dislike the car. Good luck to the buyers, enjoy
