Used 2018 Hyundai Elantra Sport 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM) Consumer Reviews
Sport - the need for speed
Love the looks and performance of the Sport model. The Sport trim just flat out looks better than the other trims. The Elantra Sport may be the best looking small car on the market today. Some have complained about the 2017's DCT (7 speed auto), but I've found the operation of the 2018's as smooth as butter. Go drive one for yourself. The auto is faster than the manual in the Sport trim, and the Sport is WAY faster than the other models. Steering feels quick. Auto trans rips off quick shifts when needed. Also, seem to be getting better than expected mpg's - around 38 on my all highway commute. No need for nav - standard Apple Car Play takes care of that. Ride may be a little too firm for some people's taste. Only wish it had a driver's power seat - that's it.

Goes Like Hell and Gets Great Gas Mileage!
This Elantra SPORT is amazing! Based on road test specs, it accelerates faster than my 1967 Plymouth Satellite, 383- 4 speed, my 1964 Chrysler 300K- 413 cubic inches. It has the same size motor as my 1971 Dodge (Mitsubishi) Colt...1.6 Liter, 98 cubic inches! It lights up the front tires at will! It handles like a go cart, AND, if driven halfway normally, it gets 27 mpg around town and over 37 mpg on the highway! Leather interior, heated seats, moon roof, 18 inch alloy wheels. All of this for under $20,000, purchased new in April of 2018! Only complaint? The 245/18 tires ride like rocks on the crappy roads in NYS! For 2021-2022, Hyundai has renamed the Sport at the Elantra N series. It's the exact same car. Buy the dual clutch automatic version. It's faster than the 6 speed manual and gets much better gas mileage!!!You can embarrass many Subaru WRX's at traffic lights. For those cars to deliver maximum acceleration they have to rev to 5500 rpm and let out the clutch. Not practical at a traffic light!
