Ahh, the last year of the GT Hatchback i30

By Shane written on 03-28-2016

If you are looking for a nice commuter vehicle this is really a good choice. The ride is smooth and the 2.0L 173 Horsepower Engine is the same engine used for the 2.0L Turbo-Charged 245 Horsepower Engine used in the 2015+ Sonata. So minus the boost from the turbo, the engine is respectfully peppy, in particular when used in the sport shifting mode, keeping the engine in its maximum torque range, (3500 to 4500 RPM). It makes a very nice jump on to the highway. The digital steering control allows you to switch the steering feel mode from Normal> Comfort> Sport. Its a nice touch, in particular for a little fun on the curvy back-roads in my county. The sound system is quite good for the stock stereo system. It really doesn't need much more than it has. I would only add that some slightly better quality speakers would indeed make a difference. I say this because I spend much time in this vehicle and have a tendency to bring a laptop and watch movies with a patch-cord jacked into the AUX Outlet, to plumb sound through the vehicle's sound system. Needless to say action films tend to tax the speakers a little bit, so mine might be visiting my local stereo shop for a minor upgrade in that department. For this aspect I have to be realistic. Understand the Elantra GT is not based on the same body as the sedan. The vehicle is actually physically shorter by nearly a foot in length. So the back seats in this vehicle are OK for young kids, but teens or adults, forget it! I have fairly long legs, so the seat on the driver's side is nearly all the way back. However, if you are like my wife and I, and have no children, then this aspect really doesn't matter. The cargo area is great, I have no issues this this department. The rear seats in the hatchback have a double fold procedure to make the rear cargo area extremely large. For myself as a Firearm Instructor this is particularly important when I need to load my range equipment into this vehicle. The vehicle in total is very roomy, plenty of head-room and front leg room. If you are looking for a great vehicle, this is quiet a nice car for the price. I have the Option Package #2, which is the "Style Package". This comes with the 17 Inch Alloy Rims, Fog-Lights, 6 Speed Automatic/Sport Shift Transmission and Power Driver's Seat. There are many other bells and whistles with the GT Hatchback Model that does not come on the Sedan until you get into the other option packages.

Run Screaming from This Cute Car

By Caligirl written on 01-17-2017

Car is a year old, and I have braking problems on freeway on and off ramps - dealers thought "you are driving too fast," fix...driving 15-20 mph on exits/entrances, irking all the drivers piling up behind me to avoid hitting the brakes bc braking on a tight right causes car to skip and shimmy. HORRIBLE gas mileage, such a little car should do way way better. Noisy interior...have to crank up volume to hear hands free conversations bc of interior noise. DANGEROUS oem tires, with less than 10k miles, within two months two sidewall failures. Of course Hyundai takes no responsibility and sidewall failure is not the responsibility of the tire manufacture either. Lose either way. Not to mention to replace with decent tires is $600 - 800 dollars, not worth it on this little budget car's 17" rims, except it is necessary for safety. Upside, you have a dangerous, gas guzzling, cute as heck car....

My new Elantra GT

By lorenzo serafini written on 04-03-2017

A. Traded my Sonata Turbo for the 2016 Elantra GT which is good looking with a nice engine/gearbox combination. Tech package with Nav works well, enjoying it! Leather heated and ventilated seats are awsome! Just put 1000 miles on it and am really happy. Quick, easy to park and economical.. so far so good! B. 7100 miles with no problems. Beginning to wish it had the "Paddle Shift" like the Sonata. Using the "auto shift" in manual mode is just ok. The car handles well and everything works. I noticed that the car pulls stronger as the revs climb toward red line, nice! Beginning to really enjoy the handling too. C. 12500 miles with no problems. Made it through the winter without any fuss, all the gadgets make this car easy to live with. The HD radio is great.

Gas guzzler

By Rick Laffey written on 02-05-2018

28 mpg in town driving using Shell or Mobil regular. 38-42 mpg on highway trips. Had to replace 3 tires within 25 k miles. Warrenty took care of front wheel bearings replacement at 54 k miles. You will feel the bumps, but it handles well.
