- The 2018 Hyundai Elantra Sport is here and packing a turbocharged inline-4 under the hood with 201HP. From it's sporty styling to DCT gearbox and raspy exhaust note. Is the Hyundai Elantra Sport a worthy competitor to the Honda Civic Si and VW Golf GTI?

Still better looking than the 2019 Elantra 😒
This one really has a nice look.
nkosi collier lol seems like manufacturers are getting carried away with designs, Chevy and Hyundai are screwing up... who’s next??
Very good point!
Damn right it does! As a loyal, repeat owner, Hyundai customer, the really messed up with the 2019 styling. The 2017-2018 Elantra's have a look of class and refinement that the 2019 definitely lacks. The 2019 just plain LOOKS cheap and cliquey. No way would I trade my 2018 for the newer model!
I AGREE TOO~
I love that you review cars that are obtainable to normal people the sporty budget cars are what I personally love to see! Great Review!
Thank you so much for saying that! There are many people that agree with you!
I have the same exact car. I’m at 24k miles and so far so good. The only things I think they could have done better is a tighter steering with the sport mode and better brakes. Brakes can be upgraded so I’m cool with that. Hyundai service departments are top notch. I traded a 2012 mustang convertible and trust me Hyundai customer service is better than Ford’s.
Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience! What color did you get?
Not my hyundai lol but I cant lie the elantra sport is an amazing car. The speakers are so clear and bass is perfect.
@@Mr.1ntrovert thank you so much for sharing your perspective and input!
I have the Limited model with Ultimate package. Absolutely love the car!!
@@carlosthomas9643 Thank you for sharing your experience!
They look so grown up with the sport. Absolutely great lines! Been in love with them since 2017 just because of the lines! Good video bro beans
Thank you for the compliment! It really is a great looking car and you really can't beat the price!
I've had my 18' ES DCT for almost a year and it's a great bargain. You won't see 8 of them at once like the new Civic. Good ride/handling compromise, awesome brakes, yet steering feel could be better. The engine is great with low end power and the sport mode really wakes up the performance of this car (keeps revs higher) getting on the freeway, etc. Tons of equipment, it comes fully loaded.
Thank you so much for sharing about your Elantra Sport. It is always great to gear from people that are the actual owners! Thanks again for watching!
Kizzle did you opt for the tech package? Seems like a pricey option for what you get, esp since this has Apple Car play and Android Auto, you probably don’t need nav. How does it compare to the VW GLI ? I’m torn between the two. Can great deals on the ES, I don’t think they are selling.
Ben Vernick I do not, the 2018 came standard with moonroof and rear cross traffic alert, both were in the option package for 2017.
I bought this car in 2018 in Silver and absolutely love it. Beautiful styling, nice ride and LOVE the Infiniti stereo system. I don't really care much for the re-styled versions from 2019 until now.
Wow
the design for 2018 was almost perfect and they went and fucked it up lol
Got an '18 Elantra Sport, i would always highly recommend, right now the numbers are for 87 octane tune (stock) but you're looking at HUGE gains with a 91-94 octane tune. It's crazy
I totally agree with that statement! Thanks for watching!
Great review Joe and Tom, I love the idea of subscribers offering up their cars for review, long may it continue!
That is really awesome of you to say! It is so amazing to have people come forward to allow me to review their car on the spot!
Thnx again for delivering variety Joe!! What an exciting time it is for car enthusiasts. I love most cars and this one is no exception. There's lots to appreciate about it. Very good looking - and I'm sure it performs very nicely for the money. I think Hyundai has been building terrific cars for a good number of years now. And clearly they've stepped up their game in a very short time period. Would love to get your perspective from behind the wheel whenever possible.
myvalium1 oh it does perform, I beat the hell out of it every day, although I avg 12 mpg it’s stupid fun, every time I drive it I have an infinite smile on my face, and I’ve driven a 2018 mustang gt, ‘16 camaro ss, Tesla 100d, charger and challenger scat pack, and more and none of them make me smile like this Hyundai
I really appreciate your compliments as always! I will try to get something more in-depth put together!
Thank you for sharing your personal experience!
I just got one this Black Friday! Exact same in this video, with the DCT, im so happy!!
Congrats on your new car! I am so glad you are happy!
I just recently purchased my own 2018 Elantra Sport, and I love it! This review helped me make a decision on what car I should get. Thank you Joe!
That is so awesome Nice! You got that best year!
How much ?
Thanks for your complete overview of this fantastic
entry level machine, Beautiful styling I want one bad.
Great review! Thanks for spreading the word on this awesome car! I have one too. People need to know what a great sporty car this is that also comes with great value.
Thank you so much for taking the time to watch and say those wonderful things! Hyundai is doing some great things!
I love how the guy in the background is checking out your focus RS 🤣
This is literally identical to my 2018 elantra sport, right down to the color and floor liners. It's a great car!
Very cool! I am so happy to hear that you like it!
Reason it looks like an audi is because the designer left audi and went to Hyundai. I love my 2018 elantra sport.
That is a very good point! Thank you for sharing your input!
My coworker has a 6 speed manual version of this car and I absolutely love I it! I drove it the other day and it shifted so well had great pick up if I wasn’t about to get a Prestine Si I’d cop one of these
I am at a Hyundai dealership now in the process of buying a black one, '18 DCT. Test drive was... Fun lol
Great review, just need a quick jaunt around the block in it👍
Kenneth Reynolds thanks for the compliment and feedback! Stay tuned for more!
I have a 2018 ES DCT, white identical to the one you reviewed. I’ve done some modifications to mine; SXTH Element intake and a custom axle back exhaust, sounds like an absolute beast now. I have always been a fan of the Civic Si, owned a couple, but I love this car, what you get at the price point is unbeatable. Hyundai is knocking out of the park with their latest lineup, I’ve got to test drive the Veloster-N and that car is amazing and I can’t wait for the Elantra Sport N (you know their going to do it). Great video by the way.
Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts! I really appreciate you taking the time to comment!
I got my Elantra Sport in May and I love it. I agree that the 2019 Elantra looks terrible. Weird angles n shape. Saw it at the Auto Show n I was floored. It’s a big step down from the 2018.
Congrats on your Elantra Sport! It is a cool car! I wonder why Hyundai would go backwards with the design!
My dad has this car and we both love it!
I got one about a month ago. I loooove it. Totally worth it. Has the power you want, styling is sexy, and interior is quite nice. There could be less hard-touch plastics but that's the price you pay (which isn't much!). The paddles are so fun too, feels like im in Gran Turismo or something lol.
Congrats on your new Elantra Sport! I am so glad to hear that you are enjoying it! What color did you get?
@@RaitisRides I'm rewatching, but my car is pretty much this one lol. And mine has carpet floormats.
2018 ES 86k miles with the DCT so far.
It has been a great car. Fun to drive.
Excellent review as usual!!! Great looking sedan glad Hyundai is stepping up in their game. And sadly this four banger sounds better than an ecoboost mustang lol. If I’d have a chance to go w a daily driver outside of my mustang gt id go for aHyundai or Honda for sure
Thank you so much for your compliments! I really appreciate your support! It
s great to see other bands upping their game!
One thing that brought me here was the same exact styling as the 2013-2016 Dodge Dart. Most people say that the Alfa romeo and the Chrysler 200 looks like the Dodge Dart but I see no comparison. The headlights look the same, the grill almost looks the same. I love the style and I definitely will consider on buying one in the future.
Cool review buddy
Thank you so much for the compliment and for watching!
I own one for 6 months and I'm still absolutely in love. Red DCT premium. Best altogether package for the money. And, it's the best sounding car on the road, imho. If you live in the city and need a fun, cheap car, this is the way to go. Just do some cheap stiffness upgrades and a piggyback tune... Then it's almost perfect
Thank you so much for sharing about your experience with your Elantra Sport! Thank you so much for you input!
Love it I have Elantra SE 2018 I want to trade mines in for the sport so bad next year it really looks good and comfortable and fast 💨 thank you sir for their review.
Thank you so much for the compliment! I really believe that this is a great car for the money.
I have this car in electric blue and I absolutely love this car. 💙
I am so glad to hear! The blue must look really great!
I have the same! nice color choice buddy. although i think its called Marina Blue. I just checked hyundai website. Also do you notice its got a 2 toned paint scheme? When the light hits it at a certain angle, it looks more like an aquamarine blue
wow, that's a great video!
I am so glad that you liked this one!
Why was that black hose under the hood disconnected by the air cleaner box ?
Great video joe raiti
I am so glad that you liked this one! I'm trying to redo the Lamborghini video for you!
@@RaitisRides thank you so much Joe Raiti
@@JoseGutierrez-hp6mt Of course man!
Great Review! I have a 2017 Elantra Sport 1.6T 6MT and I absolutely love it. With a few mods that I have done and you can watch on my channel.. You can really get more out of the car in looks, sound and performance. Highly recommend this car to those looking at Civic Si and Golf GTI.
just bought this today. i hate the new model they started with 2019 so i purposely got this year. i love it!
These cars are indeed fun. I recently bought a 2018 Elantra GT Sport hatchback. Same engine & trans as this car, but I liked the hatchback design. You should review the hatchback as well. I'm in the area, Spring Hill.
You are so right! Email me at raitisrides@gmail.com and maybe we can put something together!
Nice work Joe !! Nice Elantra !! I have a 2018 civic hatchback sport that maybe you can review !! Thanks
Thanks Josue! Were do you live sir?
Raiti's Rides let me know when, Thanks
please email me at
raitisrides@gmail.com
LOVE IT!
It really is a great bang for the buck!
I have a 2018 Elantra SE, base model. Affordable and a blast to drive, I get compliments on my STOCK system all the time! 22.5k miles and many more ahead!
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective!
Have a white 2018 manual non tech. Just love it. Honda lot its way with its looks. I could not resist the look and value of this car.
You did well sir! I really like the white Elantra Sports!
I agree. Honda Civics in the current gen dont look that good, especially next to an elantra sport or even a regular elantra.
I finally pulled the trigger and got an CPO 2017 ES, with the manual and in the same silver as this one. Couldn't stomach the 19-20 refresh.
Congrats! You went the best route!
Same. Bought mine with 25k miles. These videos really don't do it justice. It's a wonderful car.
I'd like to see a video on a Kia Stinger GT2.
That's a good suggestion! I will see what I ca do! Thanks you so much for watching!
Such an underrated car. By far i think it excels more than its main competitors. I have a 2018 GT Sport, and so glad i got it. Very rarely do i see them in the road, and i live in L.A.
I totally agree with you! Thank you so much for watching and sharing your perspective!
@Raiti's Rides, dude pronounce it right. It's not "Hon-day" its "Hyun-day". Here's a trick, say the word "Yun" like from street fighter 3 third strike? And simply add an "H" sound to it so its "Hyun-day" or phoenetically "Hee-Yun-day". Get it?
Thank you for that! It is a perfect way for someone to remember! Thank you so much for watching!
That so true. I’m SoCal too n I rarely see a an Elantra Sport. I see a grip of regular ones but not the sport.
I cant wait to get my hands on one of these to review myself! It's just a cool little car!
It is a ton of fun for a great price!
@@RaitisRides sounds like my next daily!
I think it would work out great!
Note the integrated infotainment! Thank you Hyundai! I think this a notch above the Elantra GT sport. Joe have you driven the Jetta GLI, I’m wondering how they compare? You can get the Elantra Sport for slightly less, so wondering if it’s worth the savings, especially since VW now has a better warranty. I’m looking for a good daily sedan or hatch within the 25K $ range that is also sporty, hoping to buy within the next six months.
The only issue I have with Hyundai is their depreciation rate is insane compared to many other brands. I need to get behind the wheel of the Jetta!
I can’t wait to gets mines and drive it to school and pick up my friends
How did it go
My very first Korean sedan! Good job Joe.
This is an oldie!
@@RaitisRidesOld is better than new.
I have the same car in Australia but the one in the video has pops and bangs and sounds a lot louder? Has the owner installed a resonator delete?
Yes he did!
I've got the Sport in scarlet red pearl with the DCT, love the car. Just wish the paint wasn't so thin, light rock collisions falling from trucks leave too much damage had to pick up a detailing pen. Got 23k miles on it, love it so far though!
Thank you so much for sharing your personal experience with your Elantra Sport! I am so glad that you are enjoying her!
Do you still have it has it been reliable?
@@JAYBud88 I do, it has been pretty good nothing major, everything has been under warrenty that I've needed replaced, it's got alot more power than you'd expect and it's been a blast to drive, I'm considering trading it in for a 2020 veloster N tho!
You guys like the manual or the auto? I have a 17 cruze manual and I get bored of it real quick cause the shifts are short. 1st goes to 15mph...I want it to be around 25 to 30
I am a fan of manual because it keeps you more connected with the car!
Good review! But you left out one of the VERY important details that separates the Sport from all other Elantra's, the multilink independent rear suspension! That coupled with the 201HP motor are what really separate this car from the pack! I have a 2018 Elantra Sport (Electric Blue) that I bought back in April (traded in my 2013 Elantra Coupe), and I LOVE THIS CAR! Mine is FULLY loaded with all the options, and stickered for under $27k! Performance for the price is awesome, and the value can't be beat! Lots of room, comfortable, not too harsh a ride for the sport tuned suspension, quick get up and go, and it LOVES the corners! You can drive this car in ways that you wouldnt dare even try with any other Elantra, and it looks WAY better than many other cars in its class (including the 2019 Elantra. Sorry Hyundai, but you screwed up with the 2019 styling!)
Thank you so much for sharing your input! I really appreciate n owner being to share their personal experience. You really can't beat the bang for the buck! Thank you so much for watching and leaving a super detailed comment!
I own one too and 100% agree with you!
ponymoonshadow thats right about the car and rhe 2019 is shit
I own a mk7 GTI and my wife owns an Elantra Sport, the Elantra is a nice decently quick car, a nice alternative if you want a Civic SI but don’t want a manual or you want a manual but don’t like the fake vents on the SI, the GTI is on another level
Thank you so much for sharing your input on this car! I really appreciate you watching!
This gon be my next whip
Hey I’m looking to start my own review channel. How did you start up? Did you start reviews of local cars? Did you go to dealers? Thanks
Very cool! I just started at local events! You are going to have to feel out what works for you! Good luck and don't give up!
Raiti's Rides thanks for the advice!
Yes of course! Please let me now if you have anymore questions!
I never liked or trusted Korean cars, but know the first top of the line Hyundai Sonata had an unbranded top of the line Alpine Cassette deck, essentially the same one I had in my Buick GN, along with a high output Alpine amp and Polk Audio speakers. Then I saw the videos of the Hyundai factory stunt drivers using old Elantras... You will be blown away when skilled drivers can do with cheap, basic cars. So, when this Elantra Sport first came out a few years ago, I watched all the videos and dicovered all the details about the BMW M inspired independent suspension from their top engineer, and all the other performance gear, styling and amenities, including the exhaust, and wanted one in blue, fully loaded with the great Harmon Kardon stereo, leather seats and steering wheel, and the DCT transmission. But was later swayed to the Honda Civic Sport Hatchback, and the other cars I mentioned. Still a great car, unless they ruined it for 2019. I haven't checked. Downsides may be durability and reliability, and lack of an LSD. The differential, not the drug... But it's a nice option for a reasonable price, even fully loaded. Especially if you like the Hyundai and Kias. You know they are serious into performance with the Stinger and other models coming out soon.
jjacob25101 thank you so much for sharing that awesome information! I really appreciate you watching!
Hyundai's are a lot better,but when they started sales in the U.S., they had to offer great long term warranties to boost sales. Back then, buying a Hyundai was maybe Sonata good idea.
I totally remember the Hyundai Excel from 1987! It was a piece of junk!
Shit I must be old ,still remember the pony,Hyuandai has come a long way
I remember the old Hyundai Excels! Those things were garbage!
It looks like Hyundai took all the 2018 models off of their website and the new 2019 model doesn’t have a sport trim yet.... it’s not discontinued is it?
THE 2K PLUG no it’s not. They just just slowly add in the models based on what time of the year they will be released.
There is a new Sport model. But the difference in asthetics from the normal model is minimal.
Sad.. we don't have it here in New Zealand.
I believe the owner disconnected the blow off valve hose from the intake pipe. Correct me if wrong, but I am going to try that on mine.
John Trabue yes I did, I couldn’t fully remove it because the second clamp is deep down and I would have to get under the car and remove the panels and such and I don’t have the tools to do so,
John Trabue Ive put it back on since because it sounds like Darth Vader queefing lol I would recommend getting a proper bov
Good eyes! I believe you are correct!
Thank you for chiming in Andre to help out!
That is a very interesting analogy!
This or the new Civic si?
Wow that's a really nice sedan
Yeah Hyundai has really upped their game!
Lol I just noticed he disconnected his BPV for the swosh sould
My dream car. I pray I bought it someday 🙏🏾
I have a 2020 Hyundai Elantra SE (Base Model) and I just traded it in for this particular model! Sounds pretty silly. But more loaded and more features! I’d prefer this over the newer Elantra’s
My 23 is better in everyway.bettwrr tech better suspension better brakes lighter weight .this Gen looks basic af
I have this car and it’s amazing. No body troll and fast for 200hp
I'm thinking of getting one of these...what color should I go with??
I love the silver you see!
I just got an 18’ Black with the DCT. I didn’t have an option to color or tranny as it was the only one for sale in my area ( without having to drive 2 hours + to find another .. and I’m big on convenience ). It looks stunning in black. Most of the subtle features that make it stand out as anything more than a base model Elantra are hidden unless you look hard. So it hides very well however it definitely stands out. And those who know about these cars pay attention. I’ve had many people come up to me and ask about it simply because the exhaust note or the lovely rims. “Is this really an Elantra?” I love how subtle she is. I’m huge in sleepers. You can’t go wrong with any color option available. The deep gray and the bmw yellow are where I wish I could’ve went but seriously this thing has exceeded my expectations.
This is coming from a 2009 WRX, a 2011 Grand Cherokee with a Hemi and a 2015 Jetta.
Bruh I just realized the BPV is unplugged on the LOT. LOL
LOL
i have the same car love it sm
Nice. I hear good things about this one. Commuter car with a warranty and some POP to it. You know I like the absolute sunshine to view the car. I would get this car and sell it before getting to 100k.
Thank you so much for sharing your input!
I own an 18 scarlet red turbo elantra with about 7k on the dial and my only complaint is turbo lag otherwise it's a great car hands down!!!
Thank you so much for sharing your own personal experience with the car! It always helps when the owners chime in!
colt forti5 yeah
That bargain so good the a wasn’t even needed.
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment and watch!
You definitely need to review the Veloster N. Would love to see your take on it. Making me want to trade my focus st in for it.
I've have been waiting for this very car! Stay tuned because as soon as they get here I will be all over it!
@@RaitisRides yes
By the way it is my birthday today
missscorpio that's awesome, happy birthday! And mine is actually on Halloween, crazy
@@ValenNitto yess 👌🏼 ☺
Happy Birthday! I am sure a Veloster N would make a great gift!
Beware of any mid-sized turbocharger car with an engine smaller than 1.8L. The turbo has to run more frequently due to the size of the vehicle. Same goes for cars like the Passat TDI.
I want this car to b my first vehicle if I want to work for Uber, or have my own independent transportation company, like Uber, called Crooze.
That sounds like a great idea! Thank you so much for watching!
Hope this will be available in Manila.
That is a good question!
Good review but Damm waited thru that whole review for a test drive that never happend ha
Sorry Drew! This is one of my older reviews! My new stuff has the drives!
Love this car
It's a great bang for the buck!
I got this car cause i had never seen it around. And still im barely starting to see a few around now but not like the Hondas where they in every direction. I got it with 12 miles brand new, once the engine breaks in it got louder and quicker. Super quick to get around LA traffic. Its not ridiculously loud but its loud enough. Turbo is just a plus. Exhaust and tuning coming soon.
There not common I been searching for a year and a half for one I finally got one 6MT
Hows that GDI engine in carbon buildup? I wanted an elantra until I read GDI engines getting carbon at like 50k miles?
I really believe it is how you take care of it and drive it. I have read many reports that by using high octane fuel and making sure you get on it from time to time it greatly reduces the carbon build up.
I was hoping you were going to drive the car to see if it had any juice
Sometimes I get to drive them and sometimes I do not. Sorry about that! I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
In Australia its an elantra SR TURBO
Might get a 2018 for 18k good deal?
That is a great deal!
I paid exactly $19k for mine last year with the Dual clutch and that was right at invoice. $18k for the manual sounds about right, otherwise thats a killer deal. You should let us know if you ended up going with it.
Hopenyou find/ found better. I got mine in Oct for 16K. Exactly the same as the one reviewed here. I need some tinted windows however. Fantastic car, when I was shown the 19s... I was like so where is the 18 Sport again?
Looking good
Sporty but not trying too much
I think you hit the nail on the head!
The reason we see Audi cues in these cars....,

Thanks for your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Nice car man
I am so glad that you liked this one!
Great review Joe. I have owned 2 Hyundai's Elantra and accent. Great Commuter cars.The problem is no one keeps them the full 10 year 100k miles. I know i didnt lol. I don't even know why I sold it. What company gives 10 year 100k mile warranty on a turbo car. It reminds me of a S3 i would consider one for the right price.
Very good points! I appreciate the compliment!
I am not impressed, when does engine die?
This car is so hard to get in orlando
I think there are many locations around the country that are having issues!
You misspelled "bargain" in the video title.
Oh no! Thank you so much for the heads up!
Picking my 2018 up tomorrow for 20k... DCT loaded MSRP at 27k! It really is a fun little car to drive!
That is a great price! Congrats! Keep me in the loop on how it goes!
@@RaitisRides will do!
Thank you sir!
@@RaitisRides when it was all final, I ended up negotiating it for 18500 since it was used as a demo and had a couple thousand miles on it. But it's such an upgrade to the past "hand me downs" that I've had. I'll be enjoying this car for years to come. I owe a lot of thanks to all the TH-cam review channels that I've watched reviewing the car, especially including your channel! Again thank you for all of the thorough info you give us on car reviews!
Malcolm Graham you wont be disappointed. My 18 has been a blast over the last year.congrats
Beautiful car
I am so glad that you liked this one! Thank you so much for watching!
Does it have remote start?
No it does not.
It does if you get the premium package with Hyundai's blue link services. Remote start w/climate control, stop, lock, unlock, and more via Hyundai's phone app. I have the same car (in electric blue) with the premium package and I use remote start frequently.
Btw, I'm surprised that in your review you left out the other BIG thing that makes the 2018 Elantra Sport such a great drivers car, the Sport model exclusive rear wheel multilink independent rear suspension! That is as big a deal as the 201HP turbo under the hood! EVERY other Elantra has the solid torsion beam rear end.
Tyler Bezold yea
no. but you can have it put in. I did by the dealer.
Literally identical to my 2017 sports model lol
You have a great car!
Seems like a fun little car that’s performance oriented and easy on the wallet 😁
mavsman 7 to a certain extent lol gas kills the pockets filling up every two days averaging 12 mpg, it’s just so damn fun I always drive in sport mode which drains gas
You hit the nail on the head!
Thanks for chiming in Andre!
id rather keep americans employed
Raiti's Rides no problem👌🏼
I am totally biased in my statements as I have owned two Civic Si's in the past, but sedan vs sedan, I would take the outside looks of the Hyundai vs the Civic. The ass end of the sedan Si is hideous. Now if you put the Si coupe against this sedan, that's a tougher argument. The Hyundai is cheaper. That's a plus, but the interior of the Si is hands down better quality. You also get adaptive damping suspension on the Si. Also a bit more power and torque. I do like the direction Hyundai is going, but I'm not quite sold on it vs the Civic Si just yet.
That is a really wonderful comment you posted! Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
You would be surprised, but the interior quality on the Hyundai is overall better. I own the Elantra sport. I drove my buddies Civic SI and the dash moved up and down, and the gauge visor was wobbly as well. The only thing that was nicer was the door panels. Overall the Hyundai has a much more sturdy interior. I think they drive pretty much evenly, the Civic has slightly better steering feel, but my buddy likes my car better than his.
@@davidrobinson3148 thanks for sharing actual owner experience!
there is small difference between the power/torque of both cars, but i watched some test videos online and the ES was 0.1-0.2 secs faster than the SI. Probably cuz ES is slightly lighter than the SI
a Question what is tire size?
225/40R18 Please let me know if you have anymore questions.
@@RaitisRides thank you so so much for your Answer you are very kind.my friend Another
Question i have 2017 elantra and my car is whells its 225/45/r17 i want change whit 225/40/r18 its no problem for Automatic transmission?
There should be no issues. I assume the wheels stud pattern is the same. Please let me know if you need anything else! Thank you for your kind words!
Just purchased this exact same car (used) at 11,000 miles for 19,000 out the door. Did I make a good choice? Was the 1,399 Extended 72 month extra protection /warranty worth the price?
I guess it depends on how long you are going to hold on to it?
The rear lights remind me of a Lexus IS. I see why ppl are kinda mad about the new design now
Yea. The 19-20 design is horrid. Hyundai didn't need to refresh it so soon.
Very true
I wish they would’ve put Brembos on it too 😞 yellow calipers coming soon though!
That will be a nice look!
I have one And the brakes are very strong
Raf Perez there’s nothing wrong with the brakes, it’s just that they could be better, cause any braking from 90 mph or more is not smooth, plus it’d be a good look for the car to have big brakes on it
@@dreplays3118 true that!
For a 20yr old, how much would the insurance on this bad boy be? In California
That's a good question. There are so many factors when looking at insurance costs. Things like the city you live in, your record and I also believe some insurance companies take into consideration your credit score!
Thank you so much for sharing your input!
I looked at insurance for this. I'm 20 but I have 1 ticket and my insurance for this would be 300 a month.
I pay 150 im 21 and live in cali L.A
