I think this would be a game changer for most. People don't seem to understand where Hyundai has come from to where they are now. This will be a tuner car in every sense of the word. Great power and style for the money. Just think about adding the following bits and you will have an excellent car: - Short Shifter - SRI (Short Ram Intake) - Grippier Tires - Sway bars This is just some of the tunning that will give it a better edge above the competition. This is an underestimated car that has most of the right boxes checked. I am going to say it again. All around best bang for dollar with styling to boot. Watch out Honda, Toyota, Mazda, Ford ... Hyundai is catching up and looking to take you out.

I just started working for Hyundai a few months ago. I came from Volkswagen after being with them for a little over a year. Both great cars and both very fun to drive! Honestly if you want to make a Smart decision, Hyundai is the way to go. The price is right and you get the best warranty in the business! Volkswagens have depreciated so much since the diesel issues. You can buy a GTI for $29,000-$36000; but it drops $15,000 once you drive away and you are backed with half the warranty as a Hyundai. You also get way more options in a Elantra Sport for a cheaper price!

This car has astounded me... I own a 2017 SE and I wish I would've waited. BUT It is a great car and I think HONDA and TOYOTA should be getting scared, because HYUNDAI is not going to slow down, in fact, they will be at the top soon. Can't wait for N performance from Hyundai, that will be the true test!
@rockerdriver
@rockerdriver 8 лет назад
This Elantra Sport of course! The GTI may drive better but will require more repairs in the long run. Based on the latest surveys and my personal experience with my current 2010 Elantra,Hyundai is tops in reliability!

rockerdriver it's impossible to predict real reliability on such new cars. 50k miles with no problems doesn't mean a car is reliable.

@rockerdriver
@rockerdriver 7 лет назад
To me the real test is around100K. That's when a lot of things typically can go wrong other than the regular wear and tear items. I don't know why Matt Doyle specifically said 50K. I didn't even mention the current mileage on my Hyundai. It's 86.6K so I'll find out soon enough!

Some manufacturers can consistently produce vehicles with 130k to 180k miles with nothing but maintenance items, run to about 240k with no expensive failures, and pretty much no drive train issues up to 400k.

I'd choose this over a GTI strictly on price and reliability. VW has a bad record in reliability with that 2.0t, water pumps and so on... This comes with a 10yr 100k warranty and some sweet looks. My heart really wants a GTI but my wallet is very scared.

I’ve owned 3 Hyundai’s and 3 VW’s and they have all been very reliable. Currently on my 3rd Hyundai, a 2017 Elantra Sport with the manual. It’s a very fun car and I can pass someone like they are standing still, yet I can still get 40mpg on my way to work every day.
@autox4018
@autox4018 8 лет назад
Hyundai/Kia are really stepping up their game in this class of vehicle. You cannot beat the workmanship and warranty. I own (3rd) a Kia Forte 5 SX Turbo manual and am excited to see this car. My only 2 complaints on my current car is yes that rear twist beam axle is not the best for handling and the manual transmission in my car is set for a economy car standards. This meaning the gears are way too short for a turbo car making you row fast through the gears. If a taller, especially 5th-6th gear was more for highway,would have been a ton better. Not sure if this Elantra has this same transmission. If they make a hatch version of this car, It will be hard not to trade mine in.

@FourJaysFour 6 лет назад
That Kia Forte 5 is nice looking. It caught my eye. This car is more refined across the board. But, I agree, the Koreans are moving much faster in the right direction than the competitors

I am here because I rented an Enterprise Elantra 1.4 turbo since my 2013 Accord LX is still in the body shop. I was so surprised how torque this Hyundai 1.4 turbo is. I'm just so satisfied with its power and DCT. Thank you Hyundai and great job on these turbo engines, you made me a believer.

i test drove the civic si (2015) and the vw gti (2015) back to back. the gear box in the civic was a complete dream come true, and the engine had an amazing sound to it. rowing through the gears was magical. but it was annoying loud inside on the highway and the short gears translated to the engine whining at 3000 rpm. the gti surprised me quite a lot. the amount of low end torque pulling you was subliminal and surpassed the si. the interior was so much more quiet that a deff person would be able tell the difference. the gti felt more alive than the si. the si gear box in the gti would be a match made in heaven. this kind of makes me want to try out this new elantra sport.
@dbrownj5516

I've watched several outstanding reviews of this car and this one is a standout, especially the final few minutes explaining the value of this offering. All of the good ones highlight the improved independent rear suspension and driving dynamics. But no one yet has mentioned the name Albert Biermann. His influence upon this company, and especially this vehicle, is now felt and it has to be causing concern among Hyundai/Kia's competitors. Hyundai/Kia has now addressed its biggest critics who have been right to criticize their suspensions and steering and it's hard to imagine just how good this company will get as Biermann gets his hands on other products. I would buy this car without hesitation as I've owned previous Hyundai products and the value proposition was irresistible. This Elantra is a whole different animal when it comes to value because of the engineering behind it. And I bet that most will never know that the former head of BMW's M division engineered the ride and will miss owning a truly great C-segment sleeper.
@PapaP86

Focus ST. Just bought it in October coming from a 2013 Hyundai Veloster Turbo I leased for 4 years. The ST IMO is the best *overall* in the segment you mentioned. Hatchback automatically makes it more practical/more storage. All of them except the GTI and ST are too slow for me, plus the GTI and ST have the best modding/tuning potential. I personally am not a VW fan and think the GTI is a bit too pricey, and possibly "too" refined for what hot hatches are supposed to be. The Elantra, especially with the rear multi-link suspension is probably what the Veloster Turbo should've been. They really should base it on the Elantra platform more than the Accent. If they get a 2.0L turbo in the VT and rear multi-link suspension and get things set up correctly, they could actually compete with the big boys in the segment. The Elantra Sport is definitely a good step there. I would be super excited if Hyundai stepped up and released some kind of AWD hatchback with 300-350hp (RM16???).

I eventually went with this Elantra Sport. I was on the fence for a while with the WRX & GLI tho. But at the end of things, it was hard for me to ignore the Elantra Sport price tag. Got mines fully loaded for only 20k.

Wow, I had no idea Larry the Cable Guy reviewed cars, and so competently. Jokes aside, many years ago I owned Kia Sephia LX with a stick, and it drove very well, and was surprisingly good in corners once you changed the tires from the OEM garbage to something decent. I am looking forward to a Kia based on this Hyundai Elantra Sport.
@glubibobi
@glubibobi 6 лет назад
If money wasn’t an option I would pick the GTI for sure. However, if you sprinkle some reality into the equation, this car has to be the obvious choice. $23k for a well sorted, 200hp car seems like an amazing deal. And if, like me, you would want some extra power to compete with something like the GTI then 3k worth of upgrades with certainly get you there and still be cheaper than the VW.

I love the Elantras! We leased a 2013 GLS for three years for my daughter for college. We just got her a 2017 Elantra Limited to start her job. Love the car. I have never watched your channel before. I was interested in the new Elantra Sport. What a nice surprise to see Nathan! Nathan is correct on the road noise. That is my only concern, which could be solved with some sound deadening. I will let them know in Alabama. Love your channel. I will subscribe. Thanks.

Your underestimating the Elantra SE. I drive a road that has 2 very tight s curves in a row. There is a big sign with flashing lights saying 55 mph ahead. I drive thru them in the SE at 85 mph , no problem, it's a better handler than you think! Just turned 30.000 miles o problems, very happy with it.

@joeykitty2892 7 лет назад
I was about to take the Emission Modification option from VW, then, I received an email from Hyundai introducing the Elantra Sport; which led to this video review. Afterwards, I contacted VW to change my selection to the Buyback option and wait for this car; with the 6-speed manual. I looked at a lot, I mean a LOT of suitable replacements for the Jetta TDI, and I wasn't sold on any. I chose this car over the competition because, of past - positive experience with the brand; the value; the content, and the reported performance. Factor in the excellent warranty, availability of dealerships; this is definitely a win win for me.
@joeykitty2892
@joeykitty2892 5 лет назад

I leased a 2018 Hyundai Elantra Sport w/ premium package (silver) for $250 a month w/ 0 down and after all taxes and fees. I really like it and it's not very noisy when the radio is on. I LOVE HYUNDAI BLUE LINK let's me remote start the car from the app (premium package only). I do regret not getting blue or dark gray. its very sporty and fun to drive but it's not a fast turbo 4 like a 328i

@MotoManTV Which car? Elantra Sport for sure! Bought one 2 weeks ago, love everything about it! This review is one of reasons I decided on the Elantra Sport (the car I traded in was a 2013 base model Elantra GS Coupe) Why? Sporty yet comfortable ride (not harsh), excellent motor and suspension, lots of standard features and very fun to drive. Can't get a better value for your money, and dont forget none of those other cars can even come close to matching the warranty offered by Hyundai! For the record, I bought 2018 blue Elantra Sport with the 7sp DCT transmission, and the premium package. (At my age, I like letting the car do the shifting, though sometimes I do shift into the "manual" mode and have fun with making use of the paddle shifters! And that's not even mentioning the car is quicker AND has better fuel economy with the 7sp DCT!)
@matthewpedrosa1205
@matthewpedrosa1205 7 лет назад
I'd choose the GTI despite the price increase. I own an '08 GLI and people still ask if it is a new car, which speaks to the refinement and the build quality of the car. The GTI is more sporty as well as more refined to drive, not to mention it has 40+ years of pedigree standing behind it. Still, good effort on Hyundai for this Elantra, its a very respectable car.

@Shankovich
@Shankovich 8 лет назад
Wow, thanks so much man! You've really helped me. Some background: Very good chance of getting my first job out of grad school, moving to U.S. from Canada. Can't bring leased car down, makes no sense to finance the lease. Sooooo, I get to car shop again :D. It came down to Civic EX-T or Sport for me; I'm not fond of Honda tbh, don't trust the CVT on it either (I won't be the only one driving, I know), but the dealer has life+infinite mile power train and engine warranty. But...the Sport is just everything I want, just wanted to see what the better more objective RU-vid reviewers (you are, honestly, so many ppl give Hyundai crap for nothing) had to say. Looks like my favor to the Sport just got bigger :). I just hope they make a version package with LKAS and pre collision braking since they lower premiums quite a bit (Honda Sensing does the same). Edit: Commented before the video finished :P. It's just price for me in the end and reliability. The EX-T seems to have some hesitation issues and high speeds. Also, I don't think the sport's DCT is the same as the Tuscon's is it? That issue did get resolved it seems. My limit is 25-26k MSRP (my job will get me good discounts, so my MSRP limit allows my sale price to be around the 23 mark), so that's roughly in the 380-420 a month limit. I have until probably January-February though, so I hope by then Hyundai puts in the tech package that gives SCC, PCB, LKSA, etc that'll lower insurance. Not sure why Hyundai gives you only some of those for other packages, just be simple like Honda: Sensing package for $1000, or not.

I’ll take the Hyundai. I currently own a 2015 Limited Elantra and have been very happy with it. I also sold cars for just about 25 years. Mostly luxury cars until Obama and Bush ruined the Economy. Then I noticed Hyundai was selling the new Sonata like crazy, and they looked HOT!!! I moved from luxury sales to Hyundai for the last 5 years of my car sales career. I was very impressed with the brand and how happy the customers were. That’s part of the reason I/we became owners. The car is my wife’s daily driver but I drive it too. Love it. Wish the new turbo could get the great mileage hers gets. It sometimes can get over 40 MPH on the highway.

@kimandrews7293
@kimandrews7293 7 лет назад
Most reviewers compare this car with the GTI but as someone who actually needs it as a daily driver it is more comparable to the GLI. both sedans. relatively close HP and torque......and then like you said the price diference comes in and I would most likely chose this Elantra. The dash layout in the elantra is one of the nicest in my opinion. I would rate reliability about the same on both...... I don;t know much about Hyundai but i've own 3 VW.
@machineslave3
@machineslave3 7 лет назад
You know, it's close. From the rear panel forward it looks great. The front needs some minor tweaks and then it would be a proper sport sedan. I owned two Saab 9-3 Sport Sedans and, to me, that is the benchmark look for me. The Hyundai front end still looks cheap and economy car-ish. Now if they do come out with an N division then Im sure they will beef it up. But awesome review. Love the amount of detail you put into your videos. How does it compare to the Sentra Nismo in your eyes?

I'd still pick the GTI with the adjustable dampers and driver assistance package etc. It still seems the best pick in the segment for performance and comfort balance. Also the hatch makes it several times more practical.
@dkk4169
@dkk4169 7 лет назад
I agree with you that the GTI with the adjustable suspension would be more sporting. But for $10-12,000 more than the Elantra Sport, it absolutely should be! A well equipped mid level GTI (se model) stickers for around $33,000!

Hi Motoman I'm waiting for the new Civic SI which would be my first choice. I favour reliability first and fun-factor second. I have owned 2 Hondas and they have both been the most reliable and fun cars I have owned. My 1998 civic 4 door 5 spd manual was a mini BMW in terms of looks and driving pleasure and my 2013 Accord Sport 6 spd manual is a well built and fun sedan as well. My only complaint with where I live (Ontario, Canada) is that I have to run on snow tires for 6 months of the year dulling my driving enjoyment. Nice to see Nathan on this video (he's a teddy bear). Keep up the good work!!

I've just driven a 2016 GTI 3 saturdays ago and loved it, what I wanted was 31k and was above my budget. I loved the seating position the only car that came close to my Genesis that I'll need to replace since kids are in my future. The way it drove, the feel of the materials that being said there was no other car that appealed to me. Tried a Cruze wasn't a fan of the looks didn't even bother test driving it, dislike the way the civic looks, and same goes for the focus st. My wife drives a 2015 Corolla S and it's fine as a a-b car but I can't see myself being that bored behind the wheel. This could be the answer for me. I would pick the Hyundai on price alone. 5-6k dollar difference is a big chunk of change, and with the 10year 100k and the reliability of Hyundai I would put my money on the Hyundai once again.

I currently drive a 2006 Mini Cooper S JCW. Super fun to drive. Still looks new. But it spends a lot of time at the shop now. I've been looking around at replacements. First car I drove was the MKVII GTI. I don't think the car is nearly as visually exciting as my Mini. It's decidedly plain looking. The interior is nice, though it too is not very exciting. The driving experience like the outside was a bit dull to me. Don't get me wrong, it was definitely refined, but just a bit sterile. This Elantra Sport looks like a small Audi S3 to me out the outside, which is saying a lot. They did a nice job. The interior looks nice but Korean car boring. Mazda, particularly with the latest 3, has proven that a C segment car can still have a stunning interior! It trumps both VW and Hyundai in interior looks. Having not driven the Hyundai, I ask MotoMan, how would you compare the driving dynamics to the mazda 3 GT, a car that is priced similarly to this?

I have to downsize to free up space in my monthly budget and I am very much considering this. I was originally considering the Fiesta ST but I think there is even more for your money here than that offered. I'm also waiting to see the Civic Si when it comes out. If I don't like what I see then I'm definitely getting this.

I am thinking about selling my MB E320 and honda crv ex-L this year and was thinking about replacing them with a 2017 crv touring and a GTI se or mazda mx-5 RF. I was shocked that the GTI se and the MX5 RF stickers for around $33,000 US. I am willing to pay $32-34,000 for a new crv touring as it's loaded and holds its value well, but I have doubts about paying $33,000 for a midlevel GTI. After some thought and research I am now leaning towards a crv touring and a Elantra sport. Every review of the new Elantra sport has been great and I plan on test driving one. I can't wait to see what the Hyundai engineers at Namyang (N-division) have to offer us gear heads in the future.

The insurance on my GTI is way more expensive than it should be, I'm betting this would be much less expensive in that department as well... With that said my GTI is hands down the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel of any car I've owned... That German feel is something I don't think the Asian car companies will ever be able to duplicate...
@centerphil17

Motoman! Been a while brother. So, in my humble opinion, I think the GTI and GLI are not the best comparison for this car. I look at this car and I can't help but think about my car. I drive a 2016 VW Jetta 1.8T Sport. For $20k you also get a independent, multi-link rear suspension, infotainment, and a turbo charged 1.8L engine that when running premium easily puts out 200lb-ft of torque. HOWEVER, the biggest issue is I ABHOR the automatic transmission I have on it (sadness) and would much prefer a manual or DSG. With all that said, a manual VW Jetta 1.8T sport would probably represent a fairer comparison with this car based off of your video (I obviously haven't driven the Elantra so I might be way off :-)). Thanks for being awesome at life!
@Tripp55
@Tripp55 7 лет назад
I used to want the GLI when I got that employee discount. Now I want this since I get a different employee discount. But given if money was no object (because that is the only way I can make a sort of rational decision) I would have the GLI. Simply because I've driven that car a lot and know how good it is. GTI is probably the best, but I'm not a big fan of hatchbacks.

Direct Sentra sport competitor. Both seem like good deals - ~25k loaded, but Hyundai seems to have an edge with that suspension.
@wingktsui3532
@wingktsui3532 7 лет назад
How does the suspension feel? I've driven many c-seg as rentals and an Elantra from the previous generation. I agree it needs more sound deadening and the suspension was too soft. It absorbed bumps well but bounced everywhere kinda like when you have worn shocks except it was a new car. Personally, I prefer the Cruze which has a more quiet and refined ride. The overall feel including the steering is more solid.
@ponymoonshadow
@ponymoonshadow 6 лет назад
Wing K Tsui, the suspension is wonderful! Smooth ride that soaks up the bumps with no rebound! My 2013 Elantra bounced over speedbumps from day 1, rebounding 2 or 3 times before it would settle. The suspension in the new Sport model soaks up the very same speed bumps with no rebound needed. It feels very planted to the road. And at the same time it is a comfortable, not harsh ride. They nailed it with the Sport suspension!

Having owned a focus titanium (admittedly not an st), an elantra gt hatch, and currently a gti, despite the price diff, i would still pick the gti. Its crash tests results in the real world are stellar, it gets the epa advertised fuel economy plus and it is VERY well put together with quality materials. The focus and elantra were nice but not of the same quality both inside the car and in them not feeling as if they are built from a solid block of steel, as is the gti. Both my focus and elantra felt loose and jiggly on rough roads, but not the vw. Yes the gti costs more but i feel, overall, it is a better vehicle

I had a 14 GLI and loved it. Power from the 2.0 is deceptive. I wouldn't compare it to the GTI, different cars to me. GLI yes would compare. All you have to do is look at the reliability of VW and premium fuel requirements and the Hyundai is superior.

Skoda Octavia Vrs 220. (estate) Yes it wasn't on your list but shares the same MQB chassis of the golf. And had a good engine (220bhp/350nm), driving dynamics, legroom and a big boot. Cheaper than the golf, slightly more expensive then this Hyundai. Coincidentally the interior of the Octavia looks very similar to that of the Hyundai. I'd go for the VAG DSG auto box, as it's very good, and only £1500 extra. I'm a European that is a auto convert. Well good autos only.

@chairrules2007 8 лет назад
One question before I get into my other statements/critiques: Why was there not 1 word spoken about this car in comparison to the new Nissan Sentra SR-Turbo (that you recently reviewed) ??? I think that would be the most logical and relevant comparison to make right now. VW/GLI yes (although that car is more expensive), VW/GTI; NO.....Next, why is the DCT an afterthought, and repeatedly scoffed at ? In my opinion, that is just as big of a deal as the rear suspension. This is a dct, NOT a cvt automatic. "Save the manuals", "thank you for offering a manual transmission". OK, ok, I get it already ! You love manual transmissions ! In completely writing off the dct offered in this car, and scoffing at it, you come off as lacking perspective, and not living in reality. Plenty of buyers will be interested in the dct. I certainly am. I appreciate manual transmissions, and have owned and driven several cars with that "shift knob, and 3rd pedal" as you put it. Including your beloved VW/GTI manual. I don't necessarily WANT to drive a manual everyday anymore. So again, a good dct/automatic is a consideration for me, and quite honestly my preference at this point. I just test drove both the manual and dct/auto in your "favorite car crush" (haha), VW/GTI. I really like the DSG on that car. I really liked the DSG on the VW/GTI and Audi A3 hatchback that I previously owned. In both cars, I never missed the manual transmission for a minute. So in an effort to offer a more well rounded review, you shouldn't just write off the DCT. Next, related to the first rant or tangent of mine regarding this review; why the constant GTI comparisons ? That's a totally different car, and AT LEAST $2k less when comparing the Hyundai fully loaded vs the GTI base model. The GTI is a hatchback, not a sedan. If you must compare this to a VW, the Jetta/GLI would be the logical (yet still more expensive) comparison. Again, I think the Nissan Sentra SR-Turbo would be the most logical comparison here. They both appear to have almost identical prices. Thanks for the review; good to see Nathan from TFLC make a cameo appearance.
@kevinchung1492
@kevinchung1492 8 лет назад
Boateng 2018 I agree what you said. It is not in the GTI Focus ST class but Sentra SR plus Mazda 3 GT and Civic Turbo. All in $25k range and have a faster than base engine (0-60 in 6.5-7sec) and sportier suspension tunning. I can put GLI into the mix but even that is a bit out class as it cost more msrp and it is faster. If I am buying GTI I would have a hard time choosing between stick or DSG as VW stick is not perfect but still fun while DSG is just so fast and smooth. On Hyundai this is a different story; their DCT is known to be less refine and not quick at all. When DCT is not fast and responsive then I rather have the fun by nature stick. I just got my wife a Sonata Hybrid with $8500 off after deep discount and rebates. So while VW have big discount you can get any Hyundai with that too and when you can get the Elantra sport for say $5k off it would be unbeatable.
@chairrules2007
@chairrules2007 8 лет назад
I agree with all your points. Especially about Hyundai's dct transmission past reputation. That's why I wanted to get their opinion of the dct for this car, in this review; in addition to the manual. I'm curious to know if they have improved in that area with this new vehicle. Also agree with what you said about the Hyundai vs VW prices. With VW's financial challenges recently, they have finally been willing to come down off msrp more than ever before. With that said, you can always get even better discounts with Hyundai/Kia. Better rebates and incentives in general, and they are much more willing to come further down off msrp. The Elantra sport looks good, and I would be curious to give it a test drive. I just wouldnt compare it to a VW GTI. First logically, its not a hatchback, and its just a different class of car as far as driving dynamics.
@MotoManTV
@MotoManTV 8 лет назад
Fair point. Need to break this down on two points: 1.) While yes, from a power perspective they are close - it is in driving dynamics where these two are VASTLY different. Nissan has made no apologies that the SR grade suspension tune of the Turbo has not really been changed from the non Turbo other than to accommodate a heavier engine. And somewhat related to that point, 2.) We should plan on revisiting this topic later next week.
@TheMainMan318
@TheMainMan318 8 лет назад
I also drove a GTI in a manual and DSG. And my opinion the manual was much better. Yes the DSG is faster, but the manual is more engaging. In my opinion you have to get over the 400 - 500 whp mark for me to start saying a DSG, DCT, an automatic transmission is more exciting than driving a manual. All you do is put your foot down and steer in an automatic. Literally nothing else. What separates you from driving this vs a Camry? Handling is out because if you were to have this in a DCT what are the chances you'd even touch any of those handling characteristics. Just my .02 I guess for me the excitement in this lower powered cars comes from a manual transmission. Some automakers get that I think and only offer their cars in a manual - Ford with the STs, Honda with the SI
@kevinchung1492
@kevinchung1492 8 лет назад
I understand your thinking. I did own both manual and traditional automatic and I love manual; it is so much more engaging. Until I got into my BMW X1 which I have no choice but stuck with ZF 8sp with paddle shift (could someone please make an affordable speedy wagon please!!??). At first I really miss manual, no matter how smart the auto can't read what and when you want to shift. But then once I get comfortable using the paddle shift I always put the trans on manual mode and shift for myself. And I found this is the best of both worlds; I still in control of shift while the tans do the rest for me quickly. Yes I still miss the joy of making a fast heel and toe but in 90% of my driving I am satisfy. Same apply to DSG if you left it on auto mode the fun factor would be low; but on manual mode its still exciting. On the other hand if the trans is slow (like most Hyundai trans although amazingly smooth) there is more frustrating to be in manual mode. And those cars should go for stick IMO.
