2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport Review - Amazing Value

[@CyclonesWorld]

I bought the 2018 Elantra Sport 6spd with the premium package today, in black. You guys had a pretty big influence in that decision. Keep doing what you do :)

[@buildmorefarms1007]

Any problems yet?

[@wtfx5757]

CyclonesWorld how are you liking it? Pros and cons?

[@820krx7]

I've worked on cars my whole life. First car was a 1972 charger. This car is my all time favorite car. I've had it since october, 6 speed manual. Just love it. When I worked for Dodge, I loved the Dodge Stealth, for how it stayed flat, but didn't like how cock-pit like it was. I don't like other cars where you feel like you're way over the dash, either. This car stays flat in turns, accelerates well, feels sporty, is very practical for a dad, lots of space inside, but is still a small footprint overall, stunning looking...and the factory sport wheels are just perfect and its terrific to drive. Just... I dunno, it nails everything I'd want in a car. Up to the $80,000+ price range, this is my dream car atm. And I'm lucky enough to own it!

[@yahama5817]

How is it so far.. any problems?

[@CyclonesWorld]

@@yahama5817 Reporting in after owning it for 10 months. So far no major issues. I had a coil go bad at 4k miles, but it was replaced under warranty. The only problem I have had is that the black paint is incredibly thin. I have 6 rock chips on the hood which I plan to get fixed soon, and install a clear bra.

[@somyadav2969]

They messed up the 2019 Elantra sport with those triangular headlamps

[@palebeachbum]

All of the changes they made were a step backward. The giant new wheels are ugly too.

[@sK7kiMSan7Ks]

Call me an idiot, but I like the 2019. Considering purchasing one.

[@jaym.9275]

[@Bryan-jj3if]

@@sK7kiMSan7Ks agreed

[@AYouTubeChannelwithNoName]

I actually like the triangular headlights on the 2019-2020 Elantra, it sort of reminds me of the ones on the 2018-2020 Nissan Murano

[@reko3103]

Yup... I like this better than the Civic. (10 years ago, I would have never said I liked a Hyundai better than a Honda)

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Reko Sri exactly, they've come a very long way

[@maxprintscreen4972]

Things are changing

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

@Mr Coldly I don't care much for warranty. I like the Elantra because it is overall simply superior to it's Toyota and Honda counterparts. The warranty is just a bonus.

[@Monochrome93]

And now there's the Veloster N

[@brianfromthirty]

Have you seen the new N-line Elantra?

[@jeffraux]

"Doesn't matter, I have a head." lmao

[@seankadar9550]

Lol lol hahahaha blind spot monitoring..... DOESNT MATTER I HAVE A HEAD!!!!!

[@holymo4777]

This video made me get an Elantra sport. U guys are amazing

[@TheStraightPipes]

+The Expert P2 awesome, enjoy it. Great car!

[@buildmorefarms1007]

How is it so far?

[@davidrobinson3148]

buildmorefarms100 I bought one exactly 2 months ago on the 22nd of April and I now have 2222 miles on it. Today is the 22nd as well. Lots of 2s. Its an amazing car. I smile every time I send it. The dct is a bit jerky at low speed on auto mode, but city driving is much better when you leave it in manual mode and use your brakes more There is one slight problem with the infotainment. The screen has a white spot on one of the corners when I press it. I'm gonna bring it in for warranty and update. Other than that, I have no qualms. Handles like a dream and sounds mean af.

[@gopirajmamidi]

How would you rate the road noise/wind/outside noise isolation? If you could compare it with your previous vehicle, anything better in your opinion.

[@davidrobinson3148]

Gopi Raj Mamidi my previous vehicle was a 2003 Honda Civic EX Sedan. The road and wind noise is much less pronounced on the Elantra sport, but it is still there, as there is less noise insulation than your average non sporty car due to weight savings.

[@Nigel100]

Although the new N exists, I still love my Elantra Sport. Especially since it’s a manual 6

[@BlackBruceLeeTheGreatDekuTree]

I’m buying one this month!.. it’s all the power I need for daily driving and should get decent MPGs

[@nezabytes]

The new one is hideous!!!

[@suilujre777]

This is my first time watching one of your reviews, and I really enjoyed it! I hope your channel grows a ton. Excellent balance of being informative, yet brief..and entertaining! Great idea with having one guy go over the technology/interior and the other cover the driving dynamics. Keep it up!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Ethan Julius damn. You described exactly what we're trying to do. Thanks a lot for noticing and for the compliments on the format. We're still trying different things every review, and nothing is ever set in stone (because it's completely unscripted)! Lots of content coming this year, I promise you won't be disappointed. Please don't be disappointed so I don't have to break a promise

[@suilujre777]

TheStraightPipes For sure! It's a winning formula...cause not many people have the attention span to finish a 15-20 minute review (myself included) like most other channels do. You guys have a great dynamic, very easy to watch and cover all the aspects most people care about. I look forward to future vids!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Ethan Julius really appreciate it man, thanks so much

[@ITALYRS]

I have this car. 2018 dual clutch. 0 problems. So much value.Too bad the over-designed the new ones.

[@T-LaR]

Ecutune?

[@mxss115]

I picked up one of these for $5k under sticker, $18k for this car is a steal

[@mituljariwala9821]

Sport model?

[@joshuababb6077]

Just got one today for 17k thing is amazing

[@juandicimo2624]

medumdum got mine in March for 15k same as yours!

Seems like the perfect car for a college student! 😁

[@Monochrome93]

Just bought one of these today! This review was really helpful in my decision.

[@sondao8495]

Thank god you guys finally made a video of my dream car

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Son Dao well, you'll probably be able to buy your dream car pretty soon as it's quite cheap!

[@sondao8495]

TheStraightPipes lol it's actually not my dream car, I was trying to be a troll. But your reply is one of the reasons why I subbed to you guys!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Son Dao Hahahahah you the man!

[@wwaytobe]

Dream bigger ! nothing wrong with this car just always keep moving forward.

[@SaraK_69]

Damn, don't hold back handsome!

[@CalculatedRiskAK]

I've owned my Elantra Sport for 16 months and can say that I've got no regrets. I've been modding it because I want to have the fastest stock-turbo one ever. But even if I wasn't modding it, I'd still be just as happy.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Send pics!

[@glorydaze1280]

hoping to sign on to one tomorrow!

[@aldoerksen6802]

The Elantra Sport is so much nicer than the civic!

[@Messier87_M87]

Al Doerksen You can say that again.. Lol Honda styling in general is blaaaaah.. I just passed on a brand new 2017 Honda accord sport for this car instead but its a 2018. The accord was a complete dog when trying to accelerate and crappy feeling suspension plus it just didn't have the styling like the elantra sport.

[@BrianGarside]

Styling on Honda has gone down hill for Civic & Accord

[@Duubly]

I agree it's nice but i think it was said best in the video with both these cars. If you're a Honda guy go Honda. If you're a Hyundai guy go Hyundai.

[@3811eric]

Great video. Thanks! This new Elantra sport is a home run... I am getting one next week!!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Estrading Co awesome, congrats

[@dylanw9412]

Ten months later how are you liking it? I test drove the manual and loved it.

[@quarthmeat1884]

How is it?

[@palebeachbum]

So it doesn't have turbo lag like the Civic and handles better than the Civic. IMO it also looks far better. Like you kept saying, it's a mature car. Civic looks so juvenile.

[@quikgt]

palebeachbum YES, a very clean design.

[@palebeachbum]

@PARK beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but plenty of people think the Civic is overstyled. It gives the impression of trying to appeal to a young demographic, but trying way too hard.

[@palebeachbum]

@PARK I prefer Mazda design.

[@YannickKhong]

I love how short this review is seriously. Others are like 20min+ extensive technical demonstration whereas at time I just want to know if the car is great, fun, cool and a homerun :D Great combo of feels and geeks guys. keep it up!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Yannick Khong thanks! Yuri is definitely the geek

[@YannickKhong]

I'd say your chemistry rivals the Hammond-Clarkson-May Trio for the young people.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Yannick Khong man to even be mentioned with those guys is an honor. Absolute legends. Let's hope you're right!

[@Mattyboy5190]

The best car I have ever owned! It’s awesome!

Have this car, (slightly different on the US version) and I love it, its my favorite car, and I had a GTI and I much prefer the elantra.

This design is far better than the new one. This should have been the base model. I've only seen 1 of these and it's sitting infront of me. I can't stand the new triangle light. It actually looks like a complete car.

[@dct124]

Had they made this the base model, AWD version could've been the sport.

+Terrance Moore no it was like the 90th

[@ChristopherJones-cjphoto]

Certainly the most entertaining review yet of the Elantra sport, and informative too. I have driven one of these in the central valley of CA, where no squigglies exist, and thought it was a great car for the money. But how does it handle on a tight mountain road? Thanks for a great review!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Christopher Jones great, thanks. I wish we had some mountains around here. It definitely handles well for what we could put it through. World's better than the Veloster Turbo

[@iNFiNiTYzChannel]

Video truly helped solidify my purchase. Love my ES everyday. Thanks guys. 👍🏼

[@ChesterAyos]

Great overall fun car, I've owned mine for about a month now and love the handling of it. I just wish the exhaust was louder so I could hear it from the inside, but for a stock it's pretty good. I'm thinking of replacing the stock exhaust for a louder one. Good video guys!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Cal Keeno thanks! Definitely get a louder one ONLY IF it sounds better. Hyundai did really well on this stock exhaust. It doesn't sound like a typical 4 cylinder and unless the aftermarket exhaust's sound properties are tuned well it may sound worse but louder

[@dnegel9546]

update?

[@Mikelaren101]

Lmfao... Its got blindspot!.... Doesn't matter, I have a head

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Mike it's true! Haha

[@compacheo603]

Loving my 2018 Elantra sport. Picked it up about 3 months ago. In fact it is matured turbo like they said. Real sleeper just wish the stock exhaust had more pops and crackles and were actually louder to be able to be heard from the cabin I’d be happier haha. But overall best bang for yohr buck car. The interior alone is amazing and the infinity sound system sounds good for what it is.

[@xkdlxkslr57666]

Elantra Sport is nice fun car recognized in Korea already. This car has many fans in Korea and the Avante Cup Games are held every year. Avante has good durability for race. Avante Sport is result of Hyundai Motor's aggressive investment for motor sport. You can look forward next Veloster N.

[@antonioregadas9091]

Your chemistry made me subscribe. Kind of reminded me of top gear.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+António Regadas thanks!

[@chrismelisse1284]

Test drove a '19 one of these today and I was impressed. I still like the GT N Line better, but this is a really nice car. It's a lot of car for the money. They're talking some pretty good deals on the last one they have, gonna see if I can get a similar deal on a GT N Line tomorrow or I may trade in my GLI if the deal's right.

[@RayRiv73]

I have a 2014 Fiesta ST and living in NYC with this insane traffic every day is making me want to trade it in for this Elantra Sport DCT.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Ray Rivera the Fiesta will be more fun but in traffic yeah I totally get dct. Elantra sport gt might be a great choice

[@CalculatedRiskAK]

I have the DCT Elantra Sport, and you can't go wrong with it. It feels a little like an auto, since it seems like Hyundai tried to make it as smooth as possible. But when you give it the beans, the DCT nature comes alive.

[@RayRiv73]

Calculated Risk can you redline tje gears and does it down shift for you in automanual?

[@rudytaneloruxy9491]

for regular person with not buckets of money that wants something still fun to drive get this car with a manual. Don't worry how fast it is, i driven it it feels fast, about as fast as a wee 1.6 engine is gonna be. Just get the 6spd and have some fun with an all around good practical car.Buy it when they are running deals and it will be way lower in price then the honda.

Love the channel good job guys !! Hello from chile 🙌🏼

[@TheStraightPipes]

+XXshnaiderXX thanks! Hello from Canada!

[@colbymag2053]

Love your videos and enthusiasm! Just one thing: Maybe put in a slide with all of the Specs in the beginning including price point, engine specs, etc. Just so the viewers know what they are paying for, rather than the creature comforts and sporty feel of the cars that you guys are experiencing in the videos. Just a thought!

[@TheStraightPipes]

+tochjo772 that's why I said "it's the best Hyundai, Hyundai makes". The N isn't out yet but yes it will be better for sure!

[@CalculatedRiskAK]

I like to think of the Elantra Sport as the primer to what Albert Biermann will do with the N Performance division. I do find it a bit hilarious that the former BMW M boss is now the lead engineer at Hyundai, and their performance division is now N.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Calculated Risk yep that's definitely funny

Question, opinion on this vs the 2017 kia forte 5 sx

[@ignacioottati2597]

I agree with Yuri with regards to the customization of the digital screen in the dash board and I would not need the automatic climate control. Now just like Jakub I would love to hear the exhaust inside and I would like it to feel fast but apparently it doesn't feel fast.

Been watching a ton of your videos lately. I have probably watched all the Elantra Sport ones multiple times as Im very interested in getting either a 2017 or 2018 (the 2019s are UGLY) Sport with a 6 speed manual as it looks to be a great car where I can have fun driving again and still plenty of room for my sons. As a dad I have been driving boring crossovers lately and I miss having fun cars like I used to have- Volvo S40 T5, 06 Honda Accord 5 speed manual, 07 Acura TSX!

[@Kizzle001]

I bought an 18 ES new to replace my 04 TSX and it was a good move. You can’t lose with this, fun to drive and very nimble.

[@donhoggard604]

I really like my Elantra, not a sport since they weren't available in the US yet, but it's a very nice car for the price (better features than my $45000 expedition) it is definitely an adult car.

Can you review 2020 Hyundai elantra sport

[@colin1992]

im getting this car in 2 years or so :) i have the elantra limited, and im excited to get the sport next

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Colin Warburton right on you'll love it

[@Stclairm1]

My 19 year old son is looking at a few different cars that can be bought new for under $20k USD. I have already driven this and was pretty impressed, especially for what you get for the money. He hasn't been in this one and will in a couple of weeks. We drove the Fiesta ST (I owed a 2014) and he didn't buy it due to the Recaros. It was a 2016 with 22k miles for $15400. Drove the Honda Fit Sport manual and Toyota IA manual, both were easy NO's. I think the last two to drive will be this Elantra Sport and the Focus ST as they are really discounting those as well. Any other ideas? He's ready for a fun driving manual trans car now. The Mazda 3 2.5 Touring manual is just outside of his range.

[@TheStraightPipes]

Elantra sport, elantra gt sport, focus St, Fiesta ST, base gti, civic Si, Subaru brz / Toyota 86, Nissan 370z. Pretty much all of the fun "cheap" cars.

[@Stclairm1]

We plan to drive a Cruze RS Redline package tomorrow, which is the cheapest. It will probably come down to the Mazda3 touring manual sedan, Elantra Sport manual, and the Cruze RS automatic. Fiesta truly rides too rough to live with. Other cars are too much money. We can get the MS3 touring man and Elantra Sport man for $20k USD out the door. He could also get the Focus ST manual for the same money, but hardly any features, worse MPG, and requires premium. The MS3 has the Bose and sunroof.

[@oneblach]

Nothing was said about the gas mileage: Elantra Sport 1.6 turbo manual is 22 mpg in city. The Civic 1.5 turbo manual is 31 mpg in city. That's a huge difference.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+oneblach I personally don't worry about gas mileage, just go by the stat sheet -yuri

Great review ! It would be nice if you can compare this car side by side with civic or drag race with civic

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Austin Teh it's really difficult for us to do 2 cars at once since yuri and I do everything (all of the filming, etc). A 3rd or 4th person would be ideal but unfortunately we don't have budget for that. We would love to make a better show but we don't have the resources. We do the best that we can!

+Justin Lee we would love to do a multi car comparison but it's extremely difficult / nearly impossible with 2 people. We'll try in the future somehow, we don't want to half ass it. I can't answer the mazda 3 question yet but we'll be reviewing one in the next few weeks so watch for that.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+nelsonsubaru haha thanks man

[@HB45175]

As a European I'm supposed to be programmed to dislike small sedan cars but I'd buy this one. Of course Hyundai won't sell it to me because we can't have small sedans.

[@yanal0611]

You guys should try the Veloster turbo. Same engine as the Elantra sport, but the Veloster is much lighter.

[@JesseCarmichaelAutos]

Great video! But no dual exhaust...

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Nathan Olonoff yes it does (see our Auto show video)

[@andreim841]

Nathan Olonoff too bad the car design looks like shit tho

[@ginoz531]

Haters gonna hate

[@joonk82]

its a 4cyl..what the point of a dual exhaust..

[@TheStraightPipes]

+joonk82 looks better, more balanced. It wouldn't be true dual just the axle back so no effect on power

[@2husk]

I would like to tell you some additional information of this car. It used to be called Avante Sport in Korea but from April, they dropped "Sport" and put "1.6T" instead(My car as well). I think its because they are about to launch a sub-brand "N"(high performance models by Hyundai, such as AMG or M), they may believe that 1.6T engine does not deserve "Sport" badge. And Avante Sport has much gentler exhaust sound than Elantra Sport, so that sucks for Koreans.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+이현석 interesting, thanks. Yes they are definitely launching the N brand in the coming years which will be very exciting to see what they come up with

[@traumadynamics7269]

Hey guys, you don't seem to do comparison videos but you do mention how you think this car drives / feels better then the Civic. Now that that the Elantra Sport 5 door wagon is out (with a huge panoramic sunroof!), I'd love to see a comparison between it and the Civic. Unfortunately, North America is not slated to get the RN30 (or whatever the N performance version of this car is called) so no comparison with the Civic Type R but it seems Hyundai is killing it. They even hired some of BMW's M engineering talent to setup the suspension on these cars.

+Trauma Dynamics it's just 2 of us doing everything so we would rather not film a bad comparison. When we can figure out how to film it well with just 2 of us or have budget for a 3rd or 4th guy we'll do it. The best way we found was the Hyundai Ioniq video. We'll be doing the Elantra GT Sport in August

Thanks for the reply, and looking forward to GT Sport review. You may not have the budget yet but you guys are fun to watch which is everything.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Trauma Dynamics thanks! Budget will come... Hopefully! We're planning some pretty crazy stuff this summer including comparisons finally

[@Sadoodi]

This is still the best Elantra

[@lousarmiento4437]

Lou Sarmiento 1 second ago can I fit the front and rear bumper of elantra sport to a non sport elantra? If yes where can I get one?

[@Arjayski]

No and no and no. Rice

Coopers are my fav

[@DavidWilliams-gn1sn]

Love this car

[@jstutman]

Weather tech has told me they are making a new set for the Elantra Sport. Would you say there was any issues with the weathertechs that were installed in your test vehicle? I have not purchased my set for this vehicle yet because I was unsure if they would be different than the one's made for the standard elantra. any thoughts?

[@TheStraightPipes]

+jstutman ours honestly had no issues. But if you're willing to wait I'm guessing they wouldn't go through the cost and effort of redesigning if they felt it wasn't worth it. If what they told you is true, I would wait if I were you

Can you heel/toe in this car? I test drove the auto and the accelerator seems to be placed too far to the right. How is the throttle response on the manual? With the auto in sport mode it seems to be sharper. (No manuals within 200 miles of here ).

[@TheStraightPipes]

+Gregory G yes you can, with a little getting used to. Throttle response is good, very linear.

[@practicalguy973]

Apparently the turbo is a twin-scroll so it makes nearly full torque around 1500rpm. That's maybe why it feels so linear for a turbo motor. Also the rear suspension was designed by the BMW M engineer that Hyundai hired so the sport version of the Elantra handles really well when having some heel/toe fun.

[@TheStraightPipes]

+bear123 Yeah that would be why. The rear suspension is a dream compared to the Veloster Turbo. Heel/toe fun is great, once you readjust typical positioning since the transmission tunnel gets in the way a bit

[@ChristopherJones-cjphoto]

I had the same issue with the pedal, a little too far to the right. But that is a very minor issue.
