2017 Honda Civic Si vs Hyundai Elantra Sport Review - Turbo Fun 

Liked the Elantra better.. Bettr daily i think.. But miss those LSD on Honda

I've driven the Civic Si and the Elantra Sport GT, I'm leaning towards the Si and will probably buy it (if you guys recommend a Honda dealer in the Hamilton/Burlington/Oakville area let me know). Elantra was really nice inside, and fun enough to drive. Infotainment was better and it has some features the sedan doesn't even have (like the huge pano moonroof) but at the end of the day the Civic is more fun to drive. The shifter is awesome, like Yuri I kinda dig the light clutch, and it feels way more race car while still actually being super practical. I also found the seats way more comfortable and grippy, and the whole point of these cars is to have some fun under the speed limit. You guys should get in an Elantra GT or GT Sport if you can, it's nice little car that'll probably check a lot of boxes for a lot of people.

+Sean Roberts yeah agree with a lot of your points. Sorry no dealer recommendations! We are saving the GT Sport for another comparison soon :)

Elantra for me. Elantra looks much classier than the Civic.

Hey does canada have i30 N ??

Easy to steal

Civic is more efficient and faster to 100 though

@@Adrenadriven7Elantra will handle more power if you mod it though

Thanks!

+Hyunmo Kang haha thanks so much. Share with your friends if you like the videos :)

coz they make vizer test a thing.

+Scott Jarvis Digital Media no problem!

MrLolzania high and raspy, nice rice.

Sounds like a pig

@@VaunShiz lol audi designed it lol

@Kekistani Refugee who the fuck keeps a hyundai up to 100k miles, id sell it before the 6 year warranty is done or 50k miles

@@user-po5kf7cl8z nobody cause they fall apart

Funny considering honda has fallen in reliability and hyundai has gone up lmao

@Kekistani Refugee I'm pretty sure that Hyundai has gone up in reliability since 2011... I have to admit that the old Hyundai cars were pretty big pieces of crap, but I would dare to say that the reliability of the Hyundai cars is close to that of the level of reliability of Toyota and Honda...

It all comes down to build quality and in that regard you can't beat Honda.

+Shane Foo thanks! Share the videos if you like them :)

+Lars Sfeihc haha true. The rest of the US pretty much decides the spec for you

Or you could just drive to Ontario and buy one then import it.

Is the yellow the only canada exclusive color? Or are there more? I like the red and silver on the NA Elantra Sport but curious if ther’s more colors.

+Hideaki Y thanks! Share the videos with your buddies 😃

+Jason Cooper thanks!

Agree

Sedan will always be superior to coupe. The coupe is fucking ugly from behind

I have had three people ask me or mention to me that exact fact. It looks sharp. I love the infotainment system and I will never have a car again that pairs its climate controls in the infotainment system again.

Elantras looks like budget Audi's

Ken S I have a 2017 Civic Si and almost everyday people ask me what kind of Civic I have because they have never seen it and they think it looks so cool. The Elantra look kind of plain to me but aye it’s still a nice car.

for me Honda makes you look distinguishable from others in a fashionable way

Bro facts

and when you try and resell your Elantra you lose that $5K difference. Honda holds its resale value better than any manufacturer on the market.

Jim Burke I don't think there will be 5k difference when reselling these cars. Maybe 2k..

honda civics have lost that good resale value they once had unfortunately

Not to mention Hyundai will give you a better discount at purchase and better/easier financing options.

Insurance rates should be lower for the elantra.

+Christian Roche thanks! Golden hour is cheating ;)

Completely agree. Just picked one up too

+Arthur Embleton wait for our 2018 Accord review next week. THEY ADDED KNOBS

We just drove the new honda accord, if the SI had that new infotainment... whole new ball game

personally I only use the volume on the steering wheel anyways... :)

No words if you chose a car because of a volume knob...

Arthur Embleton. The yugo also has a volume knob. That doesnt make it a better car.

+Michael Sin right on

+Jason Kernc thanks!

I have an elantra sport and I want that trunk lid spoiler! Where can I get it? @thestraightpipes

Jason Kernc here in Canada we dont get the Elantra Sport in red that you guys get in the states! I cant wait until I order mine with the DCT w/Premium package in silver!

+Vscounter awesome thanks. Special video for 50k subs so it's a good time to be a sub ;)

+Trevor Harris haha excellent

+Alpha thanks! New videos every Tuesday and Thursday! Sometimes less, sometimes more!

+Daniel Colucci Yesssssssss

????

Dude is correct. Tire plus rim equals wheel assembly.

+Cody Enders thanks!

+Kergami you can, you just need more money :)

Fuck it. I'm moving to canada. The states suck anyway.

Kergami ? but you can get the Sport in the US?

thehollowlingwin Yes, I've driven both the Auto and Manual.

+john bauer no problem buddy, glad you enjoy them

Can't believe people actually believe this

So what is the name wheel without tier?

+정재원 wheel

No its just a wheel

Scuba0Steve11 1 you're an idiot

lyin4rmu but when u get new "wheels"(rims) that are bigger and need new tires you're getting new "wheels"(rim and tire)

+Obai Mand thanks!

+Kazuki Kisaragi haha I guess we get some pretty cool versions

Don't feel too bad; we Canadians are overcharged like fucking insane.

+Mirek Bubeník thanks so much! Congrats on the Type R. Jealous! Jakub is Polish and Yuri is Ukrainian

+aag318504 sorry we're still friends

I like that color!! Why? Why?

+Aidan Anchaya sorry

Zenon B its color here

+Jeffrey Tinsley Yesssssssss you're the man. The wrong person is Yuri. Remember that, he's almost always wrong

TheStraightPipes LMAO OK cool. Sorry Yuri... Keep up the great work guys.

+mustafa hussain Hahah thanks. We just want to put out quality content

+Dylan Wodrich exhaust wise, yes they do. Intake wise, the Type R has them both beat

TheStraightPipes woah you guys responded???? Holy crap! I love your channel, keep up the amazing work!!!

+Dylan Wodrich thanks man! We try to respond as much as we can :)

+Bailey Fox Yesssssssss

TheStraightPipes he means the tire and rim are wheels lol

+Yuri Tereshyn nah

R i m s

Bailey Fox yes. for sure

That means you're with the Elantra Sport. The ES has a dual clutch automatic. Only other company that does that is VW with the GTI.

+Gabriel Fuoco haha sweet! Send us a care package

new sponsor

Sorry. It’s hard to set up ❤️

I'd say just because people like the shifter in the Si more doesn't mean it has a better gearbox. But as an ES owner, I might be biased. Then again I have a weighted shift knob and shifter bushings installed as well...

The bushings probably helped a lot with the short comings of the ES shifter. but when i was test driving them back to back, I would definitely prefer the honda one. It's a very engaging shifter, and gives you feedback when it gets into gear. I just find ES shifter (in stock form), to be a bit too long, and rubbery. The ironic thing is the clutch is RIDICULOUSLY vague on the civic. There is basically zero feedback and you have to know where the engagement point is by travel. It's definitely easier to drive in day to day traffic, but for an Si I it's already not that comfortable, why compromise on the sportiness when you go all in on sporty already

skifree Funny, I drove the Si recently and didn't find it to be as good as everyone raves about. Drove it back to back with a Focus ST and preferred the Focus to be honest. Either way, the ES shifter might not be the best but it's certainly not terrible. The Sentra SR Turbo / Nismo shifter takes that crown.

+Jason Miller the focus St is definitely more fun

lol, I'm also may have a tiny bias as I own the Si (But its a coupe), Never really went back to ford after my nightmare experience with them. Had a 95 escort coupe that basically blew a head gasket and destroyed the engine on the side of the highway. I hope ford has done better in the recent years, But just on a emotional level I don't think I can be happy with one again as for the Si vs the ES. I personally think they are both great cars. And just like the review said either one is a good buy. the ES though is quite a bit cheaper, but when it comes to trade in, you can get much more out of an Si. Cost of onwership I would say they are more or less on par with each other What boiled it down for me is, I personally like the steering rack on the Si more. The ES is just a bit too numb for my tastes (I owned a 13 optima with the earlier electric racks from Hyundai Kia, and they were so numb it felt like a video game). Also the seating position on the Si is quite a bit lower, which I prefer

Double wishbone :oo. Throttle cable :oo

Kresnik No buy the elantra because civic looks ugly

+Gianco Mosto haha thanks

Gianco Mosto much gooder? Lol

"gooder"

"Gooder" :O

Haha glad you guys like my “gooder” vocabulary

SeñorCheese We'll be getting the Veloster N on this side of the pond...but yes that i30N is looking real nice

+thehollowlingwin I think they should make a special edition called the Velobster and make it textured like a Lobster

Yes they need to Bring the i30N to the USA, just look how well the ST sold! people will buy it, its going to be a great car!
