I’ve always been a Honda and especially SI fan. I always thought I’d buy an si when buying my first new car but I ended up getting the Elantra Sport 6m. The interior and technology and styling is so much better and no rev hang. I couldn’t be happier for what it is.

[@A_Singh_123]

Last year, I almost bought the Civic SI. Went to test drive the Elantra with NO intention to buy. I was so impressed that I ended up buy Elantra. 2019 SI had too many of the safety features missing. ex. Lane keeping assist, blind spot monitoring, emergency braking, and backup cross traffic. I do a lot of cross country driving.

[@A_Singh_123]

@Der Schwindel my short list was GTI, SI and Elantra sport. Where I live, they didn't have GTI in stock. Between SI and Elantra, Elantra wins hands down for safety. (The closest GTI I could test drive was 700 km). For long drive, I use lane keeping warning as my yard stick. Once warning beeps, it is time to take a break.

[@michaelfolsom7038]

Not with the 2020 Si...it has the Honda Suite of safety features that normally don't come with a manual. Automatic cruise on a stick is so rare... plus the LED headlights, limited-slip, and much better stereo.

Why did you buy this car over A GTI...

[@keithlynch3086]

@@roboticvenom1935 I plan to hand it down to my daughter in a few years so price was part of it, but the GTI seats were tge biggest reason. I am a big guy and the GTI seat bolstering is too tight. The N Line seats are "Just right!". I almost bought the new GLI but was shocked at how many friends that were previous VW owners told me not to buy a VW.

[@roboticvenom1935]

@@keithlynch3086 It's a shame you couldn't fit into the GTI seats, it's the complete package/balance. But I'd advise you do your own research. It makes no sense to label an entire brand because of one bad experience with one specific car. The engine in the GLI is the ea888 engine and has been in development for 15 years, long enough to get every kink out unlike the fresh si and n-line motors that haven't even seen high miles from different owners yet. The GLI powerplant has had no issues and less recalls than the n-line/Veloster turbo(Both the same engine in different cars), the only apparent issue has been coolant reservoir's cracking. The GLI is much faster, and not only has larger brakes but a much more upscale interior that is apart of the higher end VW brand, while offering it at a very similar price.

[@keithlynch3086]

@@roboticvenom1935 I agree with just about everything you said, but when a car guy who' opinion I respected told me he would never buy another VW I decided to error on the side of caution Looks like the GLI is 0.3 sec faster 0-60 not exactly a game changer. If the GTI came with the GLI seats then I may have made a different decision.

Sadly, the Elantra GT-N is not equipped as well in the USA. To get the sunroof (also premium audio, adaptive cruise, lane keep assist, cooled seats, etc) you have to get the "premium package" for an extra four grand, AND Hyundai doesn't make the premium package available with stick. Sigh.

What I appreciate about this video is that you're looking past numbers and talking about how the cars drive, how they feel, in the context where most people are driving. I am currently leasing a 2019 Civic Hatchback manual. Are there quicker cars? Of course! Is it likely to understeer heavily if you really push it? Almost certainly. But where I do most of my driving it is an absolute pleasure: nimble, torquey, with a firm but comfortable ride, a satisfying shifter, and and and all around friendly demeanor. I think a lot of people focus on the track and how many seconds to 100 km/h and so on and lose sight of how a car is to live with on a daily basis.

[@stevenr1354]

Well stated. I have a 2020 Civic Sport with manual transmission and I totally agree with you. There are just those subtleties of ride and handling in the Civics (plus the great shifter) that are hard to match. Oh, and look at the resale value on a used Hyundai. Ouch!

As the owner of a 2017 civic sport touring 6mt, I really like these new civics. That being said, after 2 years of owning it, I was getting kinda bored with it... until ktuner. Holy crap, what a difference. The way it drives with the stage 2 tune is night and day. It feels like what the car should feel like from the factory (especially with the rev hang disabled). With a sway bar and a strut bar it now drives very nicely, and I added a short ram intake to help with the sound. I am now loooving the car. Essentially, as good as these new civics are, they need a tune.

The Hyundai Elantra GT N Line is the newer Kia Forte5 Hatchback SX Turbo and roomier Hyundai Veloster Turbo. An Elantra Sport Sedan in Hatchback form, but dealers don’t seem as willing to offer competitive prices and discounts. The Honda Civic Si is still the sharper and beefier car for families that only want to drive stick. But as it is most people are only interested in the Hyundai’s DCT and Honda is missing out on that market by not putting the Acura ILX’s automatic transmission as an option.

It is the most fun car I've ever owned. It's got the best clutch and shifter I've ever driven (and that includes a Celica and a Civic, albeit older models). If they had only lengthened this 4 inches and made it a wagon, it would be perfect.

Hatchbacks are the key to taking down the 2 row SUV apocalypse. Hyundai also has a pretty good automatic dual clutch transmission so anybody can drive it.

Because I love hatches & manual transmissions make driving much more engaging imho. The Honda’s are a little dated in their incorporation of tech while the Elantra has more recent innovations such as adaptive cruise control that Honda neglects in manual transmission Civics. The Mazda is a little under-powered and has a huge blind spot with the C/D pillar. Hyundai closes the sale with that massive panoramic ☀️ sunroof and a very competitive price!

From a stop light mine will roast the tires. With traction control off i can't take off aggressively without spinning the tires. Even with it on there is slippage. Its almost annoying at times. It makes a ton of torque. Its quite the impressive feat for a 1.5 liter. To be clear im not in love with it.

[@mze7101]

@@keithjackson4985 Early days Si could keep up neck and neck with gti. I feel GTI, with higher price tag, has gotten better where Si has remained a better buy in terms of bang for a buck. I really wish Si adds more goodies even it costs 3 or 4k more.

Looking at this video in 2022 from America! Because of the current used car market (still absolutely crazy), I like to know what fun hatches for a lower price are out there and which have the best performance/usability combo... despite that the Honda is my favorite of the two, in 2022 right now, the Hyundai is $5k-$8k cheaper in my area of the US and the Honda isn't 25% better to me. Regardless: both cars are great, Hyundai has come a long way in their performance and interior design quality, but Honda still knows what their doing

Nice car, nice review

[@chappyo5528]

I've been shopping for a sporty little car to replace my 230i: I'm looking for a DCT, have no desire to go back to a manual. I see that you've compared both the Veloster Turbo and the Elantra GT N Line to the Si: how do you compare the 2 Hyundai's to each other? The Veloster felt more 'tossable' (like a baseball!), but I'm concerned that rear visibility will be an issue. I did seem to notice less torque steer in the Veloster. The Veloster leases at $50 more per month also. Any advice? Thanks

[@DanNguyenMusic]

Dang, both of you roasted my WRX's rev hang 😂

[@gregoryshaffer9956]

Yeh wrx has lot of rev hang you could eat a taco between gears

[@cdbig9er]

Thank god for the COBB AP

[@KemperEV]

Just wanted to comment here to show my appreciation for you guys. Please keep doing what you’re doing :) entertaining and knowledgeable.

[@kevinthomson6324]

They should have just saved all the money they spent developing this car and just shipped the i30n across the pond. Can’t get over the small size and weird doors of the veloster, and buying a Elantra GT n line I just feel like I’m missing out on too much.

[@bashiralatishe3816]

You guys should be renamed to "THROTTLE HOUSE OF COMEDY" 😂😂😂

[@aljurajtung5481]

I must point out that the N-Line has independent rear suspension, a welcome upgrade from the torsion beam of lower Elantra hatchbacks.

[@dbello2897]

Are you going to have a review on the Toyota CH-R?

[@carbonphantom1]

This intro still gets me lmak

[@99cougarmtx]

Where did you guys get the car, Hyundai Canada? Noticed it has the same plate as the one in another review I watched lol just curious.

[@SS-wm1wy]

It does not seem to me that Elantra GT N Line has automatic wipers and navigation on the head unit. Is this true?

[@acchaladka]

Lovely review as always, I actually test drove the Elantra GT and was impressed. I was put off by so many cool features inside - it's that complete. I'd agree it's the best Hyundai in Canada at the moment and best value on the market, better than the Honda. Totally agree about it aiming at and falling short of the GTI. And, I hate the Honda's styling, many Honda owners are annoying, and no hatch so...i bought a 1989 Porsche 944t.

[@ThrottleHouse]

Lol this story has the best ending imo

[@jamievidd775]

Like how you two came to the same conclusions.

[@Affalterbach1967]

i30N fastback or hatchback comparison needed. Track day in AUS after Melbourne F1 GP ?

[@actarusqc]

Hahaha thanks for the french and the review of course, merci !!

[@n-sndr]

Cool!! Oh TheStraightPipes used the same car. BEAA 265. :)

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

Note to self, if I ever send a car to James for review, make sure it's blue.

[@simontallboy209]

I have a 2018 Hyundai Elantra Gt Sport with the dual clutch transmission. I quite like the car. It's easy to live with, and fun when you want to enjoy a back road. It could get better fuel mileage, but for the price it's tough to beat. It was alot cheaper than a GTI or a Honda. I would recommend it. Also it seems that there are more and more parts showing up from the aftermarket for these cars. I do wish Hyundai would bring the N to Canada, rather than the N Line. I don't want a Veloster, I don't think it's an attractive car, and with a family a hatchback is a better fit.

[@wtfx5757]

I noticed your comment about a family. Have you tried this car with a couple of child seats by chance? How does it do?

[@PCGGC]

I got my 2018 Elantra Sport (N Line) for $19k... Civic Si is $26500 and sometimes more. Got a Veloster N instead for $28k and loving it more than the Focus RS and Type Rs I've driven/owned

[@SuperAWSOMEINATOR]

Can you guys consider doing the Buick Regal Sportback? Maybe compare it to a Sonata or Optima considering price point.

[@Affalterbach1967]

Intro is savage, dissing both the commenting community and Hyundai N.

[@ThrottleHouse]

Jokessss we love you guys. But like, i30 N please.

[@ahmednaji3197]

What the different between civic type r and civic si ?
