purchased a pre owned 2014 model w/ the appearance & tech package. It's a great daily commuter, roomier than it looks & feels more expensive than it is. Warranty's great too.
My parents just bought one of these and they love it. Great ride and value, not just in terms of purchase, but maintenance. Just take a VW Golf in for service... This is their 3rd Hyundai. All three easily went 8-9 years with basic maintenance. I had numerous VWs and one Ford, they need a lot more than basic maintenance to keep running after 3-4 years. I'm impressed with their quality, fit/finish and technology. After driving Mercedes for 16 years, I bought a 2013 Genesis. None of the European car companies can touch Hyundai in this price class. New Genesis vs 4 year old E-class? After watching my MBs fall apart after 4-5 years, it was a no brainer.
I'm a s2000 owner but my girlfriend owns and drives a 2014 GT, given that I drive it too, it's absolutely a BLAST to drive. Great MPGs, fairly sporty, and fantastic reliability!
It’s 2023 now, ours’ bought new 2013 Elantra GT (identical to the one shown, right down to the huge sunroof) has held up beautifully. Ours is only driven in the summer up north and placed in unheated storage though the winter as we head south. We have had no problems, just general maintenance. We consider this car to have been an excellent choice.
The 2014 Hyundai Elantra GT is America's best designed and most reliable small sedan of 2014. Powered by new cutting-edge Hyundai auto technology, this is Korean manufacturing specialty at its best. Also, Hyundai cars sold in the USA are made in the USA. If you want to support the US economy, buying Hyundai cars is a good decision. Hyundai technology is 100% Korean technology so you can expect the newest and most advanced auto technology. FORZA HYUNDAI MOTORS!
Nice looking car! I've been waiting for someone to take a look at these. Interesting to hear that it has that much cargo space, and more than those other vehicles. Thanks, Dave!
I just bought the European i30 Combi 1.6 ltr diesel (wagon version). It's a EU re-import to Germany and waiting for the title, I was told it should be in tomorrow. Can't wait
I really like the exterior styling of this car. A lot. I just wish they matched its looks with a slightly more premium interior as well as a more sport oriented tuning. Then and only then can I see myself considering this car over the Ford Focus 5 dr or the Mazda3 (2014 once it comes out).
Got a 2016 in manual and when I saw a hatchback and a gt I thought fast with good handling and storage I was let down hard it’s slow asf with mid handling but got lots of space 😭
@noduleman, from this day forward (not counting the videos I've already shot, edited and completed) I will not wear those RED OAKLEY sunglasses anymore :-) Dave
U snapped on my car I respected every way to explain it and also you also had teach things I didn’t even know about the car I’ve just got this car this year 2022

That is by far the most work I have ever witnessed in order to get the back seats to lie flat. It is terrible and one of the reasons I keep saying Hyundai and KIA are just not ready for prime time. Nice thorough review Dave!
Really ? it took literally 4 seconds to fold the seat and that gives you more room than any other car in that category from the competition. Really ? looks to me that you're just looking for excuses.

Great review! I love that panoramic roof and the overall design of the car. Now Hyundai just needs to get brave and drop in the 1.6 turbo from the Veloster and add AWD ;-)
@@jessicakulafofski6314 it’s really great, it always depends but mine works a1 and the whole car is really comfy plus it looks good. Only positive comments on it 💪
That ownership scale still makes no sense. I don't want to know how long I would keep the car if I bought it, I want to know whether I would want to buy the car in the first place. Or to put it this way: If a car gets 1/5 stars, then I wouldn't buy it, so it would never be comparable to, say, a 3-12 months ownership scale rating. Furthermore, if I buy a compact entry-level car, that may be because I don't have a lot of money, which means I would most likely own the car a lot longer.Otherwise gj!
The 2014 model year adds the 178 HP engine to the mix. I do not agree that it is a good looking car. It actually looks dated compared to the redesigned Mazda 3 or 2014 KIA Forte5.
Mazda 3 would be the best choice safety wise. The Kia Forte scored poorly on the small overlap test, it scored better on the 2013 model. The Elantra comes in second with an 'acceptable' rating and then Mazda with a good rating all the way around.
Exterior styling is a matter of personal opinion. But for the interior... I sat in the 2014 Mazda 3 GS model (one level up from GX). The seats felt like cheap cloth and I didn't much care for the center knob stuff which to me is just a gimmick. The fit & finish (seats and other stuff) in the Elantra GT (SE) by comparison is well put together and feels more upscale.
TheCobruhAlienat0r Edmonds Rated tge Mazda 3. And the Ford focus. Andv the CIVIC over the Elantra. And the ELANTRA came in lowest un resale value. And Hyundai has issues with there electrical problems
Hyundai needs to give Honda a call on how to create a fold down second row. This is a 4 seater. Three across in the 2nd row is laughable. I like how it's a hatch but that's it. Kinda looks like a baby Lexus RX.
Just drove tbe new Elantra. I agree with the reviews by Edmond. Same cheap interior. Not good enough MPGS. Still has way to much road noise. And sluggish.
***** really. Please educate me. I have seen the video twice. The man said he rated the Focus. The Civic. And the Mazda 3 over the Elantra. And he wished they hadn't used the same cheap interior. And it should have gotten better MPGS. . Thats the 2014.review
He said nothing of the sort, assuming you are in fact referring to "Edmunds". Not a single mention of a cheap quality interior, nor excessive road noise.
***** did not say he said anything about the road noise. He most definitely made a comment about the same cheap. Or something to that fact interior as the previous models. .
Apparently we at least agree that he said. The Elantra came in after the civic. Focus. And Mazda 3. . Here a fact. HYUNDAI had been trying to copy honda for years. Honda is better and has a higher resale value. So why not buy a honda. Hyundai had a 100,000 mile warranty power train only. But with a Honda you dont need it. Also both dealers told us you need to buy a extended warranty for the electrical problems Hyundai has. .

Very good choice cheap too buy and too run
about to get my very first car and it is this one! it has 89k km on it already but i'm so incredibly excited for my first car!!
I'm a s2000 owner but my girlfriend owns and drives a 2014 GT, given that I drive it too, it's absolutely a BLAST to drive. Great MPGs, fairly sporty, and fantastic reliability!
It’s 2020 and I love my 2013 Hyundai Elantra GT 🥺😭♥️🏎
Edit: you get a lot for your buck with this car 🤑
Thinking about buying a 2013 off of carmax with 100k miles for 13k. You think it's worth it?
@@Jthall1990 A bit overpriced. With that mileage it should be around 8-10k. A dealer will always want to make the most from a sale.
Has the worst ticking engine
@@Jthall1990I bought mine for 5k

Dave is cool. We all like him.
🤣 (good one, but he does)
YES! Reference on fitting two bicycles into the back hatch! Thanks for this Dave! And thank you for listening to the suggestions of your viewers.

Used to work with Dave way back in the day. Funny to find him doing car videos on the TH-cams while car shopping!
if they bring back that classic radio voice for Need for speed games.. you are the guy.

Great review. I'm planning to get an Elantra GT soon. And this video review helps a lot to make that decision. Thanks!
Thank you for listening to your viewers. I have always admired this about you. You really do an excellent job with this channel. Keep it up :)
Great video I just purchased it 2013 Hyundai launcher GT and I love it thank you
Dave, why are some of your videos only you and some with the other guy? Apologies for forgetting his name.
Good review. What do you drive personally?
This video was so pleasing to watch and this man has excellent calves.
He has Godly Calves, i don't wear shorts because my legs look like bird legs
This was a great breakdown btw. Loved it. Thank you!
probably the best-looking compact hatchback on the market (on my opinion)..the only thing anoying me is the lack of engine..need a 170 hp~
Wow, Dave! Your anchor man blood definitely shows in this older video. I definitely like your style now much better. :)
@supercooled, from now on, I will be the only person doing the car reviews on Everyman Driver - Dave
We just got a used one. My wife is short and cannot close the tailgate. There is no pull down strap. Other than that, it's very nice.
Whats the best gas for this car
What's up with the little superman doll by the rear wheel?
I really like the exterior styling of this car. A lot. I just wish they matched its looks with a slightly more premium interior as well as a more sport oriented tuning. Then and only then can I see myself considering this car over the Ford Focus 5 dr or the Mazda3 (2014 once it comes out).
so what did you think of the M3 2014?
Should I buy one with 60k kilometers on it for 9600$ cad ?
Very good car iam driving a Hyundai i30 in Europe 👌👌
good review, where did you do the filming?
Hello Dave, what do you drive, your own car?
Could you do a review on the 2013 honda fit sport?
Love the videos! Keep them coming.
Got a 2016 in manual and when I saw a hatchback and a gt I thought fast with good handling and storage I was let down hard it’s slow asf with mid handling but got lots of space 😭

Sir its suitable for highways
Does all elantra GT come with panoramic sunroof?
No, that's a top option
@rcorrea26, already reviewed the Veloster. Please review my video archive before making a request, thank you - Dave

That's a great review, very informative:)
you only reviewed the turbo
Arw you 5 feet 11 inch height?
Beautiful car. I drive the accent now. This is next on my list.
Those glasses lol

Glad to see superman behind left rear wheel. Obviously keeping car from moving
Great video!

review for elantra sedan??
I like your sunglasses. Just saying lol. Just know that atleast one subscriber is a fan of them :)
lmfao those seats looked like they were gonna snap off the hinges when he was trying to fold them down.
@7:20 2, fullsized, bicycles. wow.
Review the Veloster!!!!
this is THE BEST looking compact hatchback. just wish they didnt call it the Elantra. i have had some bad experiances with elantras...
Great review! I love that panoramic roof and the overall design of the car. Now Hyundai just needs to get brave and drop in the 1.6 turbo from the Veloster and add AWD ;-)
I find this so funny to watch because that’s the car I bought two weeks ago 😂
How do you like it? I’m buying one v soon
@@jessicakulafofski6314 it’s really great, it always depends but mine works a1 and the whole car is really comfy plus it looks good. Only positive comments on it 💪
It's not all wheel drive.
Is that engine reliable

this is Elantra GT, not Elantra sedan. Its a totally different car despite the similar sounding name.
***** still a Hyundai. I bet there similar.
Damn, that's nice. The car isn't bad either.
@jonaswang70, fine, I will ditch the ownership scale - Dave
u should the elantra sedan
i have this car in 5 speed manual.
You should watch Curious Cars. Be more like him. I like your potential though
I don't think Super Man is a DOT approved wheel chock.
Hyundai needs to give Honda a call on how to create a fold down second row. This is a 4 seater. Three across in the 2nd row is laughable. I like how it's a hatch but that's it. Kinda looks like a baby Lexus RX.
If you want a reliable car that is technologically new and advanced, get a Hyundai.
In the rest of the world it's called I30! :)
Just drove tbe new Elantra. I agree with the reviews by Edmond. Same cheap interior. Not good enough MPGS. Still has way to much road noise. And sluggish.
