How Well Has the 2018 Hyundai Elantra Sport Aged?

[@technicallycars]

Thanks for having me back on! Sorry about the shaky audio everyone was stuck with some not so great AirPods! Have more vids coming and it will be better hope you all still enjoy!

[@PRNTestDrive]

Nothing beats the first car video I did on here with my DSLR and microphone cable connected to each other, gave me a whole 4 feet of working space haha!

[@Booster6969]

I have a 2018 Sport Tech Package. Got it for $20k brand new back in a December 2017. It has the 8 inch screen and navigation. Got 112k miles on it, been a great daily driver and on my 1 hour drive to work I was getting up to 38MPG! Only complaint it the transmission at low speeds with the DCT has started to be very jerky, almost like it wants to stall. Other than that it’s been a great car!

[@PRNTestDrive]

We've heard the same thing when it comes to Hyundai's earlier DCTs, it seems to be something they've fixed with their latest generation but obviously won't make a difference on a vehicle like this. Hope it continues to work out well for you!

[@why8410]

Has there been any problems

[@Booster6969]

@@why8410Nope. Got over 117k now and still looks brand new. Hardly ever see another one on the road so has that level of exclusivity

[@JulezWinnfield]

I always thought this trim was under appreciated.

[@technicallycars]

To this day I'm not seeing that many out on the road!

[@PRNTestDrive]

Seems like it isn't here at least! Lots of great comments.

[@TheGbizaille]

I have always liked this car, thanks for the review 👍

[@technicallycars]

Even after 4 years its still a pretty good car Thanks for watching!

[@PRNTestDrive]

Thanks for checking this one out!

[@Jcastro9444]

I have one in white with a manual and love the car. It's my daily driver just a few bolt ons done to it. It's definitely a lil sleeper,surprises alot of people and beats/keeps up with things you wouldn't expect.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Glad to hear it!

[@rathkhan1114]

Awesome video! This Elantra sport will be signature car in the future. Always buy manual, it's more fun. It's perfect for Winter driven car. So many people driving in winter so no problem. It will be collection piece.. Still sexier than Elantra N

[@PRNTestDrive]

Glad you liked it, thanks!

[@zahab210]

I bought a 2018 brand new for 19k and put 100k miles on it. It was totaled last year and insurance paid me 23k for it even after driving it for all those miles. I basically drove it for free plus made money on it but I still miss it. I just don't think it's worth paying nearly 20k for a used one considering I got mine for about that much brand new. Also the new ones look horrendous! I think the Forte GT looks so much better imo. But this version still looks better than both, I wish they kept this design.

[@PRNTestDrive]

That's one of the downsides of the used vehicle market right now, while you ended up getting a good deal from insurance you end up having to pay more for a vehicle to replace it. Ultimately the extra money you got will even out with a purchase.

[@zahab210]

@@PRNTestDrive I actually ended up buying a used beater from the next state over for a couple gs and pocketed the rest. I'm probably going to save up a bit more until I see something worthy of an investment.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Hope it works out for you!

[@Lizzytrixx]

Same thing happened for me! I had less miles and my car was in a garage fire and gone 😢 I had no choice but to buy a new car in this crazy market. I miss it, it was the first car I purchased on my own as well

[@RockBassist2112]

I appreciate the fact that you don

[@PRNTestDrive]

Hope the video was helpful, thanks for checking it out!

[@Tonyx.yt.]

front end and central part of the dashboard probably didnt aged as well as other part of the car. stearing wheel leather didnt looks great too, probably too thin, but as i verified on the hyundai at home, regular leather conditioning use help preserve the material.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Can definitely help to keep it looking better.

[@TheUnreadableUser]

i honestly think the GT sport ultimate was the better deal. Cooled seats, pano roof and the red seatbelts do it for me tbh

[@PRNTestDrive]

Fair enough!

[@wedel610]

I’m get a 2017 Elantra Sport in 2 weeks.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Enjoy it!

[@wedel610]

I wanted the Elantra N, but it was not in the budget.

[@ThatCarGuy2]

Great vehicle! Elantra's are nice.

[@PRNTestDrive]

We agree!

[@DirectorCyclone]

nice man! is there any way to turn off the fog lights?

[@PRNTestDrive]

Usually there's a switch on the turn signal stalk to turn off the fog lights on Hyundai vehicles.

[@iordaniskaravasilis]

2017~18 models look really good the 2020 and current models I don’t like so much

[@PRNTestDrive]

The Korean brands have gotten quite aggressive with the design language on their most recent vehicles, for those who aren't quite interested in that, these models will be perfect.

[@jillanthony8528]

i have a 2018 hyundai elantra sport. i am already having issue with it. mine is having a missfire and the dealship is not very helpful i still have warranty on it. i have only owned it for a year now

[@PRNTestDrive]

Sorry to hear that, hopefully the dealer will work with you on the issues, if not maybe try a different dealer?

[@jillanthony8528]

@@PRNTestDrive thank you

[@josesalinas3028]

Did u get it fixed? What was the issue? Looking at used one with 60k miles on it​@jillanthony8528

[@jayriv1]

Does the sport tech package have eco mode? I have the same exact car 2018 sport version but cannot use Eco or have remote start.

[@PRNTestDrive]

I don't believe so.

[@MaxwellFitz]

Great video man!!! I'm an ES18 Owner and I love everything about it. I used to own a 16 base model Elantra and the ES tops EVERYTHING about it. (Except the cluster ngl...) But I have a big question for you? Was your Elantra sport made in america? I've never heard of an Elantra Sport having eco mode in between drive modes. I assumed it's because it's a sport and it's not supposed to. My vin starts with a K so I'm aware it's made in Korea, and the only other thing I can think of is if you're ES was Manufactured in a different country. Does your VIN start with a 1 or an A? If you can answer my question I'd really appreciate it! I'm just curious if that's the reason why I don't have eco.

[@PRNTestDrive]

Thanks for sharing!

[@princevinny0073]

😮😮🙂🙂 u look so kool in ur elantra :D can so imagin going to work in this driveing on the highway would be fun :D glad u bought the sport verson back in 2018 verry few of the sport verson show up for sale mostly SE and regulor elantra just pop on so to still have a sport trim is just awsome to own :D

[@PRNTestDrive]

Thanks!

[@daymienmichael1274]

So should I get one cuz I found an auto in my price range that is Black and I like how it looks and comes with a turbo!!

[@PRNTestDrive]

Can't go wrong with it!

[@damilolaakanni]

IMO, the last good looking Elantra. The new ones are just hideous.

[@PRNTestDrive]

New ones certainly have a look to them.

[@coreyu98]

What’s with the audio?

[@PRNTestDrive]

This was James' first solo video, he's since picked up some of the same equipment we use which will significantly improve the audio.

[@rathkhan1114]

What a choice my man. What a sexy beast. Still better looking than new one. Always try to drive Manual. Auto no fun.

[@PRNTestDrive]

The new one definitely has a unique look to it.

[@claragonzalez7151]

Hermoso me encanta

[@PRNTestDrive]

Fair enough

[@7aps311]

what about petrol plz

[@PRNTestDrive]

what about it?

[@antmiu2]

I have 12K for you if you want to sell it

[@PRNTestDrive]

Hmmm

[@alexalexis2283]

Sell it to me bro I want to buy it from you

[@PRNTestDrive]

James may be in the market to do so now!
