Drives like a sports car

2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport 4dr Hatchback (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 6M)

I really would have liked a sports car, but that would have been impractical in my circumstances. I needed a 4-door. I also needed sufficient trunk space. My Elantra GT Sport with 6-speed manual is the perfect compromise. The 1.6 engine, 201hp is great and a sports car driver will never be satisfied without feeling the perfect moment to shift for maximum performance in your hands with a stick shift. I do not feel like I settled. Great choice. Very happy.

A Solid, Sporty, Economical Car...with One Caveat

This car is a solid performer with a sporty feel, comfortable seating, and excellent fuel economy. Hyundai seems to have put a lot of thought into the redesigned Hyundai Elantra GT and (after almost two years) the more I drive it, the more I like it. One caveat: Whoever designed the front end of the 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT should be fired. There is no solid bumper (like on my 2004 Hyundai Elantra) to protect the cheap, very exposed plastic grill Hyundai put on that thing. As a result, some jerk backed into my car while parking and punched a hole through the plastic grill that is one step above styrofoam in durability. Now I'm faced with at least a $500 repair (and I live on a fixed income!) because Hyundai designer Peter Schreyer didn't think this product through. Overall, however, I would recommend this model to my friends.

I liked everything except for the seat comfort. Great on gas. So far only brakes and tires. Reliable.

I know everyone says the 1.6 t is the one to have and yes i agree but i got my on a budget .The 2.0 base is more than adequate and quite zippie than you would expect, the secret run it on premium fuel the response is much better than you would think
