Wasn't paying attention and confused the interior with a GTI, good on you Hyundai some good work from you guys as of late.
This is a beautiful car! For me, it's the best looking small car today.
Agree. Look like something out of Alfa Romeo kitchen.
That missing wheel cap on the drivers wheel though.. it's killing me lol
me too
Hunter Dugas it's a Hyundai. Probably fell off.
that's the first i notice
My cap is missing on my ‘11 sonata... and it’s a discontinued aftermarket wheel lol
I see it, too.....whats up with that ??? Jack, its E- lon-tra...... not E-lan-tra.
More than anything, his personality is at such professional level, that if u want to learn public speaking about cars, this is the best
2016 Hyundai Elantra is Civic destroyer thats for sure ! And i used to like Civic's
It won't "destroy" the Civic Hatchback Sport.
diffrent comparison
Hyundai and Honda are pretty much the same for reliability. Remember the run on transmissions Honda had? Not to mention Hyundai has better warranty. The ONLY thing that makes Honda better is resale value, fuelled by 20 years out of date thinking like you have. Oh... and the only Civics with LSDs are the Si and Type R-which you’re paying a huge premium for.
looks sharp. much improved, need to test drive to be sure though.
if anyone still hates Korean cars , go see a doctor.
Yea, with their recent releases, I'm starting to gain more respect for them. Though they can still do a bit better in terms of interior design.
kia stinger is your answer mate, inside/out the car looks perfect
The Stinger could be a M3 competitor in the future.
LOL korean cars, adorable
smasila its not going to be the stinger its the Genesis G70 thats coming. base model (328i competitor) will be the 2.0 turbo from the new i30 N with 275 hp, with manual or dual clutch, and all wheel drive as an option on the turbo model, then the mid level trim (335i competitor) will use 3.3 bi turbo 375 hp and 400 ft lbs with 8 speed dual clutch, physical LSD, AWD standard, and a bunchh of other stuff. the stinger goes 0-62 mph in 4.8 (conservative number) so 0-60 is about 4.5 seconds on the stinger. the good thing about G70 is its up on torque 30 ft lbs but its also going to be 300 plus pounds lighter. eith the 8 speed dual clitch thats coming out in that car, extra torque and lighter chassis its going to be a powerhouse. in sept 2018 were goimg to be getting the performance G70 as a M3 competitor. A 500 hp competitor.
Great value and fun car.Not so sure "Her Majesty "The wife will agree. I am looking forward to see KIA STINGER .Thank you Zack
civic is ugly af compared to this..
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I love everything about my brand new Civic Hatchback Sport. I wouldn't have a Hyundai.
CoCoLuv9491 That is true but models tend to appeal to more people then toothless fat people. Subjective , yes but the Hyundai is in a classical sense a better looking car then the Honda. I just test drove one of these and you might be surprised and perhaps slightly upset if you drove one. Honda is no longer the only serious player in this segment. When you start talking value this car is pretty sick and shames the Honda IMO. I have a 10 year old Sonata, Its just an appliance but not one thing has ever gone wrong with it besides the drivers side sun visor which was replaced under warranty. Ive owned a Honda as well.
i know we arent arguing opinions here are we? lmao just because YOU think one is better doesnt make it fact. so please dont parade around thinking otherwise.
great review Zack. how is out on the highway?
Love how manual is making a huge come back.
What I've noticed is that it's still mostly in base trim levels, but not the higher ones.
DarthRegis true, that sucks.
Honda has it available throughout the trims. DX, LX, Sport, Si, Type R. Only the EX and the Touring generally don’t get them.
The current MSRP on the 2017 Sport is $21,650. With the 7-speed DCT it's $22,750. That's a lot of car for the money.
As usual, nice job. I'm sure these changes will be implemented in the Veloster and the Forte soon.
One thing that you didn't mention was about the steering. Usually the knock is that it was always vague w/o any feel being communicated to the driver. Can you give us a short reply about this.
Thanks again!
+Gabe Pettinicchio the steering was fine, the whole car is very good
I think I finally made up my mind I'm buying this car... thanks !!!
You should have mentioned the exhaust which is also unique.
Hello Zach! I love your videos! I would love to see a 2017 Corolla SE or XSE review! Thanks!
How does the suspension and driving dynamic compare against the Mazda 3?
the GT hatchback version is on its way and if u can get that with a dual clutch for under 30k then its a great bargain.
Hyundai totally ruined this car in 19. Fugly model.
Hey would you rather this or the new si
The Elantra is fast with the six speed it would run circles around the civic I test drove it its surprisingly quick
V S it really is. I love mine.
What the company should've offered 5 years ago.
Resembles 2016 Ford Fusion... but its a good thing.
Great work Hyundai !
Hope u get to test the hatchback variant, looks good and a degree of practicality.
2016 civic has multi-link in base ... why pay more ?
even my 2013 has multi-link
I like it. I do wish it had ZERO chrome on the grille or body. That should all be blacked out.
And the turn signal lenses should be clear instead of amber like on the standard Elantra.
It would look much sportier with those very minor tweaks.
What`s the curb weight? 200 HP, but hauling around too much weight won't help performance or gas mileage.
www.hyundaicanada.com/en/showroom/2017/elantra-sport/specs
Just over 3000 pounds....Mazda 3 and Fiesta ST are both around 2750. Not too bad, but I'd like to see it lighter.
BAC0828 that's the Civic is faster to 60 by almost 1.5 seconds and gets better mpg lol
Eh, I'd argue the Elantra looks better.
Mazda3 doesn't have a higher-output engine and Fiesta ST doesn't have independent rear suspension (despite still having good handling)
I have a 13 Chevy Cruze and I was so ready to go back to a coupe but I really like this Elantra ... I'm assuming with some mods and a tune u could get around 250 hp?
oxSmoothxo yes, you probably can. However, its engine is already powerful enough to pull. I'm very amazed how this engine performs for its body and weight.
Tucson should've had this interior, really clean and streamlined and classy, similar to VW's.
Turf Surf agree...Tucson interior is like a plastic bin....exterior is great though

can I fit the front and rear bumper of elantra sport to a non sport elantra? If yes where can I get one?
How reliable is Hyundai's 1.6 Litre Turbo?
Looks like the car gods are listening, now it's time for everybody to buy one so Hyundai can make a 2.0 T model with AWD.
And charge $35k for it.
hi zach.
u look tall.
wats ur height.
were u comfortable
driving this?
im 6'1 " & like this trim.
Yes, no issues. Try it for yourself.
Motormouth Canada thanks. You have no review for honda si. Wats ur pick between s i and elantra sport? I will rely on ur opinion. Thank you.
I liked the Sport, but didn't care for it completely enough to leave with it. I found the limited a bit better imo. I liked both, but love my limited.
You're stupid. Its all about the drive. You would rather have a nicer interior and less power for MORE MONEY!? D U M B A S S
im around a lot of cars for my job and hyundai has the best interiors out there
I LOVE THIS CAR!!
How's the refinement of engine?
Are these things dropping in price each year? I swear I saw a 2016 review saying they were $27k, this says its $25k, and Hyundai's website says $21k with a deal going on for $19k!?!?!
Jetta GLI might be another close competitor. But it is dated so will be good to see next generation model to compare.
Good, finally a manual car 👍
Not to sideline the show but, was that a Nissan Figaro at 4:00?
we are getting the imports of them in Canada,
hilarious cars
Does the base sport have a heated steering wheel & the premium package does not??
All the Elantra sports have heated steering wheel
Don't you all hate it how everything improves: suspension, engines, interior... everything but a rear wheel drive car!! the front wheel drive seriously sucks the fun out of everything.... anything FWD is crappy. make a review on that please :)
FWD is just fine if you know how to drive them properly. And FWD is better than RWD in the snow.
Elantra Sport beats Civic Hatchback Sport by huge margin. Now let's wait for Civic Si versus Hyundai N Sport. I think the next battle will belong to Civic Si.
This car is the VW Jetta Challenger
I wish it had full LED headlights.
Captain Carter that would be great, especially @ dark time......
HID's still outperform LED headlights.
Freeze frame @4:00, is that Columbo's gray convertible Peugeot 403 with the white top parked on the street ?? lol
Amazing review
Looks much better than the Civic except for the obligatory boomerangs, but 2:12 - what's up with that gap in the steering wheel wrapping on the bottom? As for automatic climate control, my car has it, and I hate it. Sadly, it came standard, I would prefer old-school knobs.
LeadHammer I love it. Set it and never have to touch it again
btw - is that snow in Vancouver, Zach ? ;)
Only if it had adaptive cruise.... All Corollas have it, starting with 2017 model year.
catsspat This car is made for you to drive. while the boring ones might as well let a drone drive it for you.
I find this w/ Hyundais' a very numb, surreal feel to the drive.. I think there's no plant'edness' or road feel, that lacks. Hope to give this a shot. They need to spread this 'feel' across the other models if it's working :).
Hmmm, the Elantra Sport is better than the standard Elantra... But.... the Elantra Sport costs about $12K more... For $25K you can get one Elantra Sport or two standard Elantras... Quite a price difference for the same model car...
Info from local Hyundai dealer in Texas. One of their Elantra Sports is priced at $25K. Their base model Elantra with manual trans is priced at $13K. Wheel and deal with them, and you probably could get 'em for less...
$21,650
Nice ANALYSIS ‼️‼️
just noticed that the center cap on the left front wheel of the Elantra is missing
I see it more competing against a Civic Si or VW GLI...even then, I would probably choose the new SI (when it will go out), GLI is fun but old engine.
I have a 2012 Elantra and it's really a reliable car. I've also owned performance cars, but I'm hesitant to own any vehicle with a turbo, particularly a gas engine. Just about anyone that I ever knew that owned one long enough has had major problems. For only a little over two hundred horsepower, they should design it to be a naturally aspirated engine and design it to stay reliable. If I can't get at least 300,000 miles out of it without major issues, it's not worth it.
I've heard somewhere that it's port injected not direct injected.
I am the 2014 elantra limited owner and I want to tell every1 that don't buy hyundai. My car engine broke down at 131k km.And I did my oil change every 5k-6k km. I have all the records. I need to spend 7k+ to get replacement. this is my last hyundai car in my life. good luck every1
I'm under the impression that this changes everything.....
Eeelaaaaantra.
Hi can you please do Kia stinger review please
How fast is 0-100?
mrbigtian Ive heard its goes 0-60 in about 6.5 seconds
James Buschell that's actually good
Looks like Civic Si has a new rival now.
I think its a great value, its most likely my next car
isn't this the same engine that was used in the old veloster?
Define old as the Veloster is still available.
Old, since it was introduced back in 2011, the veloster has nothing new to offer at the table.
6 years is about normal for a car's lifespan. Pretty sure there's a new one in the works, I would expect to see it shortly.
lol... sure, keep believing in that. ;) not really, the roll out for new gen cars specially for the late 2000s is around 4 years max. Face lifts aren't included as a "new generation" model since it still shares the same old interior and engine.
Zero Tolerance I work for a car manufacture, I know exactly how it works. The general lifespan for a car is at least 6 years unless the public absolutely hates it, then they try to bring out a new one faster. Laugh all you want, it's the truth.
nice value for money
do review of 2018 elantra gt
I don't like how you say Elantra!😡
Jay Biv "it's the Elantrough sport" it's okay, he's just Canadian. :)
Lucky Limes E-Lawn-Tra
E-LAWN-tra.....NOT ...E-LAN-tra.....listen to yourself 😊😅🤗
4:00 NISSAN FIGARO SPOTTED
Dude put the year in the title or at least mention it in the video nobody knows which model you are reviewing here.
@ 4:00 Tom's turbo garage
Thought of that all on your own? 😂😂
Am I the only that actual prefers not to use auto climate?
The reason I didn't buy an Elantra was because of the engine. It was so slow. Nice car though.
I bought a 16 Civic Turbo instead. Good power.
chargersrt10 lol
chargersrt10 that’s literally slower than the elantra
wtf is an elantro ?
$21,650
In America
E Land Tra he says cause anyone says it like that Canadian or not weird on purposeee
DO NOT BUY A Hyundai DCT, ever! It's a miserable automatic and it's a miserable manual transmission, it mixes the worst of both transmissions and fails at being anything that is good.
Do buy a Hyundai/Kia, wonderful cars, every DCT is a miserable excuse of trying to get better fuel mileage and not a performance upgrade.
I want a hatch
i think for this year, we can say that Corollas are dead .
Civic is still better imo. The Civic is lighter, has a bigger trunk and gets better fuel economy.
Ma Hu No it’s not I had a 2017 civic ex-l. It was the worst new car I’ve ever owned. I’ll give you the better fuel economy but that IT. Cvt sucks, infotainment is laggy, the fucking paint chips easy, the sunroof wouldn’t go down after being in tilt mode, trunk wouldn’t open, and last I thought I could get over the rear end being ugly as fuck but I just couldn’t. Only positive to purchasing a civic is fuel economy and the remote start THATS IT.
They literally stopped making this piece of crap just after releasing it...
Piece of crap? What do you drive? And no, they didn't stop making it. They stopped sales for the 2017 / 18 model because the 2019 model is coming out
@@_baller ahaha I bet you drive an 03 Corolla
@@_baller oh wait you drive a G35, I beat one of those in a drag race with my tuned Elantra sport. Not much of a piece of crap
@@davidrobinson3148 you didn't beat nobody in that heap of shit
@@_baller 307 whp buddy. Shooting for 400 but that's $$$
jetta base model has independent rear suspension for 16k lol
With that price, you can get a WRX.
eee land tra
Civic can't compete
Honda fan boy. Lol
Audi a9？lol
Really like the look of this car, but the all-black interior is so drab, I hate leather upholstery, and no auto climate control means it's not the car for me. :(
For anyone thinking this is faster than the competition it's really not. The 1.5 turbo Civic cvt goes to 60 in about 6.7 while this Elantra takes 8 seconds... that's as slow the base civic lx with the non turbo 2.0 engines lol. Oh and the Civic is also lighter(better handling and gets better mpg than this) the only reason I'd get this is if I didn't like the looks of the civic and like this a lot more.
And for $1k you can do an ECU tune on the Elantra and make +75hp and +100tq at the wheels. And the Elantra does look better...
Jason Miller lol. That's funny, because there is a tune for the civic that costs $300 and gives it 30 more hp.. do you think there is going to be more aftermarket support for Hyundai or the Civic... I wish people would do a bit of research before replying.
***** The tune for the Elantra comes with a spare ECU so you don't fry your original one if something happens. So spare ECU + 75hp and 100tq is a damn good deal. You can keep your Civic, the Elantra still looks better.
Jason Miller that's you're opinion on looks. 0-60 in the Civic is still faster which is a fact you can't keep denying.. lol I love how you have to spend $1000 more on the Elantra to get it to be as fast as the stock civic...
Lol... it's going to be funny when the si comes out with adoptive shocks and even more power.
***** I would argue the $1k would make it faster than the Civic. Either way you're coming across as a Honda fanboy, so I'll make this my last reply. Have a nice day.
