I absolutely adored my ‘18 ES. These cars have so much potential and even stock gave so much confidence while driving. Mine was totalled recently and I miss it every day.
I had one pull behind me and didn't recognize the headlights. I testdrove a tinted blue 2018 model with their chrome rims. Ended up buying the car on the spot. This is the most fun car I've had since my 98 Eclipse GST
I agree, when this car came out in America, it had big competition in the likes of the Civic SI, Fiesta ST, Jetta GLI, Golf GTI, Sentra Nismo among cars. Also still living in the shadow of it's sibling the Genesis Coupe and First Gen Veloster Turbo. But when all those cars started losing to these cars on the roads, people took notice.
I want a bigger turbo in my ES so bad. Get a 22mm rear sway bar but leave yoir front stock and the rear end won't hop out a little but my rear end is planted on spirited driving in corners and feont in dives into turned more active and feels a little less dead now I'm also on YSR coilovers too. Love the BOV sound on yours.
What BOV do you have? I’ve got a HKS bov but can’t for the life of me figure out how to properly connect it to all the vacuum lines and avoid check engine light.
My cousin has the same car and eibach took his car to create lowering springs and installed them for free. Kinda like a test fit and they ride great 👍🏽
Well tell him thank you because I kept bugging the hell out if Eibach to make springs.... and after a year of owning it they finally became available. I probably got one if the first sets after they started production.
I drove a Rental 2020 Elantra sport and it was soooooooo fun idk if it was a 1.6 L or a 2.0 L but it was fasttt for a stock vehicle and handled super good in SPORT mode and drive niceee in the other modes too and Wowww I Fell I'm love with it it shifted super nice too had auto highbeam lights that turn off when a car is coming towards you which was niceee but yeah I don't even think it was turbo the one I drove but idk it could've been a quiet turbo car cause it accelerated like a modded 350z... it felt like it was turbo idk maybe you would know? I HAVE TO GET A HYUNDAI ELANTRA ASAP Ps. He didn't have anything bad happen or hit any issues because he used the dct and probably chip and probably bigger oil cooler and water pump and intercooler... I would think he has a turbo timer also where you turn your car off and it has a set time that you set to shut the car off so that way the turbo can idle and cool down before just shutting it off in cold weather or just period probably. But yeah thanks for all the info and the video both of you !
The DCT was made by the same company that makes VW/AUDI DSG, and this car by no means look like a rental car, compare this car to the standard models in the 2017/2018 Elantra line to see all the differences. Plus this car is a value based sporty sedan. I feel like the reviewer dissed the car.
@@ciello___8307 I have one, which is why this review had me kinda impartial. But this reviewer is more euro bias and one of those save the manual people's. At the end of the it's a to each their own thing I guess.
@@jonrodriguez56 Damn you got a helluv a deal. Mine had 49k when I got it. I got mine used, It's a fun car indeed, kinda like the owner in the video, it was between this car or a Jetta GLI for me. Jetta's sell so fast everywhere I looked. Well I guess this guy may haven't been dissing the car now that I looked back on the video, but I do think he was a bit smug about the ES.
Naw he was hating a bit but was backing up his bad attitude about it saying nice things here and there but yeah overall I give him a grade of either not showing respect and trying to down the owner or just trying to hate cause he's tryna save the manual and don't get me wrong I'm not hating or trying to I'm just keeping it real and calling it how it is cause I gotta keep it 💯. TRUST YOUR SELF AND YOUR FEELINGS ALWAYS IF YOU ARE NOT EVIL OR ON SOMETHING.... !!!!!!! 💯.
Bought a 15 Sonata Sport thinking that the car would have the same aftermarket availability as the Elantra Sport....I was wrong and I'm beginning to have regrets. 😂
@@Awsme been in the club since 2017! I bought my 2018 ES 7DCT premium package in Galactic Gray back in Oct 2017! Only had 29 miles on it then, now I have 93,xxx miles!
Breaks are dog water on these cars. In my sport I upgraded real quick. I also can't full throttle the car without going into limp mode and it's stock. Trying to get rid of my sport but props to u and your build sounds good

Fun little car. I love when people do unique things to their cars just for the sake of going off the beaten path
Love the Elantra. Simple, clean, and beautiful.
I just got the 6 speed manual version of this car and its so much fun to drive!
Man this setup would be so much fun with the 6sp manual!! 300 to the wheels in this lil thing would be a blast on the twisties!!

I had a 95 talon tsi and this is the car im thinkin about getting the eclipse talon was fun as fuck
Awesome car. Proud owner of an 2023 Elantra N Line here and I admire cats that boost and mod older Elantra
The ES made me a Hyundai fan. I particularly like the hatch version that was the first N Line. Fun little cars that got overlooked.

Bro that car was SUPER AWESOMEEE !!!!!!!!
I WISH I HAD THAT ELANTRA ❤️
These are cool. I had a elantra GT sport 6MT. It was pretty hard to find but that was a good car.
Nice set up. I have the same exact car with 6 speed. How much did this set up cost you?
What BOV do you have? I’ve got a HKS bov but can’t for the life of me figure out how to properly connect it to all the vacuum lines and avoid check engine light.

I own a galactic grey Elantra Sport 6m too. I planned on getting an SI too and I got this instead
That thing is amazing
any problems with dct so far?
what bov do you have in this i just bought an 18 es with the dct, and am looking into replacing the stock bov
SX2 tires do last forever - they're like the mandatory tire for the 86 cup.
Does this same setup apply to the 2020 veloster 1.6T?

Would this turbo kit work with my 2017 elantra limited?

obviously you like the car a lot. Fenton was not dissing this at all. He never has a perfect review for a car haha

I have one myself, got it a month ago with 9k miles, and I agree with you. Dont think he was dissing it, but it definitely doesnt look like a rental.

What mods have you done to achieve 300WHP?
Bro whats the tire specs?
Beautiful vehicle
Where did you get it tuned
Dope
ES is a fun car ,, and excellent value I bought a new blue one for my daughter in 2018 for less than 22k
Where do u get ur parts from
OMG you know Alex?! 😂
Would be alot of fun if standard
I loved my turbo Elantra, but once I got an N the handling was noticably better.
Sure, but a lower motor mount, and rear sway bar works wonders on this car
@@joerichardson6107 I had those on it as well. But yeah they helped
Bought a 15 Sonata Sport thinking that the car would have the same aftermarket availability as the Elantra Sport....I was wrong and I'm beginning to have regrets. 😂
How do you get the turbo to sound so loud?
Take off the air filter
stock intake has a turbo muffler that needs removed
Very interesting 🤔
Just like my 2018 ES!
Welcome to the club enjoy man!!

@@AlexGtheDon ayeee that’s awesome it’s such a fun car for the money honestly
@@Awsme it really is!
@@Awsme plus mine is FBO and e30 tuned by SXTH
ES one of the sexiest and reliable Sport Sedan. Amazing car. Always buy Manual. It's fun. Avoid AT.
How do i get this kit?
lap3usa
What wheel are those?
??
I would never. I’ll take my Elantra N any day over this.
If he has an EBCS that shifts will be much faster
Breaks are dog water on these cars. In my sport I upgraded real quick. I also can't full throttle the car without going into limp mode and it's stock. Trying to get rid of my sport but props to u and your build sounds good
Do you turn off traction and it still goes in to limp mode ?
I just pick up a 18 forte can’t wait to mod it and smoke these crappy Honda and gti
My mum drives one
FWD with no LSD...
Aftermarket available.
@@JTube571 should’ve came with an LSD from the factory though.
seems like its doing ok with the staggered setup though. Its obviously not a race car so its fine
Not for the money I got mine for 19k brand-new. You look at the N with the LSD and it's north of 30k
Ha! That’s almost as much power as a stock e46 /// from 20 years ago!
power per liter? ha nope.
@@oskarskates way more power per liter lol, he never said that though..
And?
@@MrZyLeXx yeah he didn't, I did; because I think its a ridiculous comparison.
It's an Elantra Sport, that like comparing apples to oranges. HA!
Too bad the new ones look like absolute dog shit
The new n looks good to me the 19 Elantra sport is ugly asf tho
i like the new ones. but the 19 was awful.. tho i did like the wheels.
