Is the 2018 Hyundai Elantra GT Sport a HOT Hatch bargain?

[@VMPhilosophy]

I love what Hyundai has been doing lately. A lot of people who talk about Hyundai ripping Audi design, don't know that Peter Schreyer (a former Audi designer) helped create Kia\Genesis\Hyundai's current corporate design language. Also the N performance line (and the Kia Stinger) tuning team was headed Alan Beirman, the former head of BMW's M performance division. Hyundai is serious about their product and it now shows.

This is proof that cars do sell and GM and Ford can take that lame suv and truck excuse and shove it and just build cars people want. Hyundai, Toyota, Honda, Mercedes still build cars. Tired of mismanagement at America car companies. No excuse why we cant build great cars.

[@RaitisRides]

[@runforit420]

@ace 1 Wait until the price of gasoline climbs back to $4 a gallon and watch Ford cancel production of the Ranger in Wayne, MI, and retool the assembly plant again for the Focus! Watch GM restart Lordstown again.

[@ace-lo1nq]

@@runforit420 I hope those people in Detroit and Ohio gets to build cars if not for the big 3 even somewhere that appreciates their workers. Honda, BMW are doing good things and have plants here so I hope they are exempt from Tarriffs. If anything Trump should penalised GM because the tax breaks given to them could saved Lordstown. All was needed is a bigger spraybooth and GM executive says NO were building in Mexico.

[@runforit420]

@ace 1 100% in agreement. There was no reason that Lordstown had to close. I hope GM Canada comes back with good news at Oshawa in January. Oshawa, and I'm sure Lordstown, are flexible plants that can build anything.

Great walk through! I drove the Elantra GT Hatchback for a month. My Sonata engine seized up and Hyundai honored the warrant 500 miles over the warranty! They gave me the GT Hatchback and I really enjoyed it and I'm 6'4".

I test drove this car, and have to say it was a blast. You can feel the turbo straight away and it handles really well. An N version would be sick. Great review as always.

[@concernedpatriot9314]

Thanks for the review of this car. I do have a request that you test the automatic transmission and used the radio while driving. This way we can get an understanding of car noise and radio quality when on the hi way,oh and test the noise of the moon roof on the hi way too. Sorry if this is too much of a demand but you did sick a great job with this entry model sport.... new subscriber as of now ! Also no one has done a review like this by testing the noise and radio ect.

Hi Wayne! Thank you for your feedback! I will track down that DCT for you and make it happen! Thank you for your support!

[@ATG3192]

I gotta say, when looking at pics of just the i30/Elantra, it looks much bigger (almost like a crossover) than when there's someone standing next to it. With Ford leaving the passenger car market, I'd say the Veloster N, Elantra GT Sport (or N if that comes to the states), and the new Corolla hatchback (especially if Toyota ever decides to be a bro and release a turbocharged option) are looking to be my ideal hatchbacks of interest. Nice car and good video!

[@RaitisRides]

Thank you so much for sharing those points! I totally agree with you!

[@vladsaghin7644]

The Elantra GT offers a full length panoramic sunroof (the only pano roof in its class) which gives it that black roof style

[@RaitisRides]

That would be that extra touch! Thanks for the extra info!

[@jamfoxs]

It's so sad that the Elantra gt's and n-line have been discontinued here in the US. It's such a great and fun to drive car. If Hyundai released the i30N here, I think its fate would have changed for the better.

[@jacobreed47]

Thank you for saying “thank you” to us - the subscribers. Great video for the hatchback. We like it a lot.

[@TheMrMDFilms]

It's weird seeing America's version of this car. Here in Australia, this exact model is called the Hyundai SR Premium and you get way more features than this Elantra GT Sport. standard features of the SR Premium here in Australia include ventilated seats, panoramic roof, with a sunroof and a heated steering wheel and lane-keep assist/departure. I'm not aware of the US models so not too sure if these are options? I know it's little difference, but you get these extra features with the Australian model.

[@colinmcdonell5034]

Great review ....they need to bring the N version.

[@RaitisRides]

I totally agree with you! They already have it just not in the USA!

[@Dexxter_slav]

We do have the N version here but not the "N-Line" like you guys have in the US. The normal version is boring but the N version is 3x as expensive.

[@crunchers9]

Thanks to your videos (and similar enthusiasm in other folks' videos) I just bought a used 2018 Sport. With the Tech Package, which includes the huge sunroof, heated/ cooled seats, upgraded speakers and more. The 2020 N-Lines with the Tech Pkg are almost impossible to find and the one dealer 120 miles away was only offering $200 off. So I tracked down a used one in silver, with a few scratches for over $12K less than a new GT. I sold my 2008 Shelby GT convertible for 20K on eBay and while I miss the prestige of that car (and all that power and sound), getting 35 mpg highway, having Bluetooth, Android Auto, back-up camera and all the tech stuff... I am more excited about my car than I have been in a long time. Only zonk I've found is no coin holder! Thanks Joe!

[@crunchers9]

4 years later and I'm still enjoying my Sport. The used prices went way up but they are starting to come down, and there are ones with low mileage out there for under $17,000 retail.

I've been looking into these lately. I personally am glad it doesn't have more red trim or things like that. I think this is a great practical hot hatch that's able to fly under the radar way more than a Ford ST or Civic si.

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for letting me share this one with you!

[@letsseeif]

got one. great car. i30 in Australia. Sells along side elantra, small car brother with a 'boot' ie. 'trunk' in USA. 201hp DCT Turbo Premium 4 wheel independent suspension (203 adjusts for our conditions). My wife's premium's got the long 'black roof' retractable. and 3 setting cooled (& heating) seats, in Aust fantastic on the derriere. (great for the hot weather after it's sat on top car par at the Mall ps. our Turbo has red seat belts all round. By now you'll have the 'N' in all models! WOW!

Devin I really appreciate you watching and taking the time to comment! I try to be totally unbiased in my reviews! Thank you for your support!

[@YasumotoUS]

Love the execution on the headlights. For the price point (~$22k currently with the MT!), this is a great little hot hatch. IMO, 200hp is the perfect amount of power for a smaller car. The only ding is that the tech package option is only available with the DCT. For all of the desirable items that includes, the omission of the package with the MT is a really crappy move by Hyundai for those who like to row AND who want the nicer head unit, wireless phone charging, etc. Otherwise, this should be a must test drive for those looking at the GTI and Civic hatch sport.... and even the Civic SI.

[@RaitisRides]

Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you taking the time to watch! You are so right about your zonk with the tech package!

[@zombieslogic8390]

I got the elantra sport sedan and I love it. Prefer the infotainment in the dash rather than the pop up look like the gt and other hyundai's. Also prefer my flat bottom steering wheel and E-Brake lever and wheels :P Really impressed with how far hyundai has come. My buddy had a 2010 elantra and even in 2015/16 or so if you would have told me I willingly bought a hyundai, I'd probably would have killed myself. Love how it sounds too for a little 1.6L My biggest grip is I wish they had more unique colors, Like the acid yellow the Kona gets (in canada anyway) I wanted Blaze Yellow (canada) but they couldn't get find me one with the manual. Nice review

[@RaitisRides]

[@KenseisGarage]

totally agree with you on this one, they should bring the N model to the US, it will be a hit IMO, with the ST and RS gone. also the interior, what's up with the doors man, put some fn contrast like it's on the interior, plus more of that red will look better. Manual, that's good, great overall car, but the US need the N versions. Great video Joe

[@xizhi5719]

7:11 that engine cover popped out to me earlier pictures, what the heck, especially because this car is about the engine (when comparing it to the other trim levels). It's even looks elevated from the video, like an atrocious plastic sneeze guard. Also, I agreed with the style suggestions individually (especially red calipers), but still it makes me think that kind of thought process for those cheap superficial changes when going by accountants lead to those appearance-only sport packages in the first place. It's much fiscally safer in the short run to do those things than to improve the suspension and shift logic, much less bring over a bigger engine for one car. At least until the long-term owner satisfaction and brand loyalty stacks up

One thing that is a deal breaker for me is the tablet style infotainment. God I can’t stand it! It’s not just Hyundai either. A lot of manufacturers do it and it just screams cost cutting and laziness. That may seem trivial but it really annoys the heck out of me.. it’s a shame cause other than that I really like this car. I think the Elantra Sport Sedan is just a notch nicer. If they brought over the i30N I’d have to seriously consider it. I REALLY want a Golf R but just can’t afford one. The i30N would be a great compromise, a bit more HP than the GTI, and still less expensive than a Golf R.

Quick question what Watch are you sporting on your wrist bro? love it. I have a 2018 Hyundai Tucson sport 1.6 turbo as my 2nd ride 1st ride being a 2015 Subaru Impreza Sport Premium, and for the money I can say that the (Hyundai) not much out there can touch it, 39,000 miles on it already (PA to NYC commute everyday) and other than having a low beam light blow which was (covered under warranty) it has been flawless, at least for our household. Vehicle is loaded and OTD price $26.500 and rides like a dream. As for this Elantra I think it is a very nice looking ride hence missing just a few key things, main one being a AWD version. I have been in the market to replace my 2015 subaru mainly because of high mileage (127.000 and climbing) car is super clean but just wanting something fresh, almost pulled the trigger on a 2019 WRX but going to hold off to see what 2020 brings. As always great review and feel Hyundai need to get some props for putting out some great, safe, reliable and affordable vehicles. Cheers :-)

[@jjacob25101]

What's that rattling noise while you were driving. Was it something in the door storage or other storage bins? A while back, if I could at the time, I would have bought a fully loaded Blue Elantra Sport Sedan, until I saw the Honda Civic Sport Hatchback. Great features, especially the DCT if you got for the auto, and all the design work for the drivetrain, suspension, appointments, exhaust, etc. Again, I agree with most if what you said. Engine cover looks cheap, the Hyundai logo still looks cheesy, but is actually two men shaking hands, a little known fact. The exhaust has lots of work to get the sound and performance, and I don't mind the sputters, buy don't like when they sound like the engine us misfiring, like many other exhausts systems. Maybe turbulence in the absence if smooth bend pipes. The door panels, especially at the arm rest look plastic and cheap with those contours. Zonks for no CD players on most all cars except Subaru, and I believe some others, like the Ford Edge ST and possibly other models. Few video reviews mention a CD player, or lack thereof. Some don't have an auxiliary audio input jack that would accommodate a portable CD player or digital audio recorder or iPod, etc., though the later probably can use the USB input. I plan to get a nice Roland R-07 portable digital recorder for my music creation projects, but forgot it has BT, and Monster (not the beverage company) has a 12v BT radio transmitter I could use if not the radio BT streaming. Also, unlike the Honda Civic Si, no LSD or torque vectoring like the Subarus. And I believe there is a pedal adapter kit available for the Si that I believe fits the Sport models and Type R if not already ideal heel toe position. Also, sone shifter kits fir the Si and Sports to shorten the throws and imptoved the feel. Other than that, still a great option if you like what it has, and more utility with the GT hatchback. Also, flat bottom steering wheels are nice, but if you push pull steer like sone of us, especially law enforcement types, and other professional drivers, the round steering wheel may be preferred. Also, the Subaru Forester Sport has the red/orange dashboard A/C vent trim. I remember the Elantra Sport Sedan interior bring similar to this and bring very nice.

But it makes a statement...and probably not the best one...sounds horrible. I want you to write my next job resume ..you could Make a Rock sound good...lol

You really think the car is that bad? Hyundai is doing some amazing things in the WRC. I guess sometimes I like the underdogs.

Chevy Malibu costs the same as the Hyundai i30 sport.

Raiti's Rides no not that bad. Just gives the owners a less then favorable image...Mabe after 3 corvettes I'm a snob...lol

[@RaitisRides]
