I used to own an Elantra sedan.
I think it was a 2003.
Lasted a long time!
Really liked the car.
Then I drove an escape (2013) for a few years
To help my parents with there walkers.
Never liked it.
Traded in for a 2018 elantra gt
Absolutely
LOVE ?
this car!
I am 62 years old
I have driven many vehicle's
Worked for airlines 31 years.
Drive everything you could imagine.
Bottom line is
I have a great deal to compare to
Pound for pound
Dollar for dollar
This is the BEST car I have ever owned!

Fist time hatchback owner!

There are not many faults I can give this car...it averaged better the the listed MPGs, it's roomy, stylish and fun to drive. It reminds me of the Volkswagen Golf ..which was always a favorite of mine. For the first time hatchback owner I'm impressed... I love the Hyundai brand, they really seem to know what they are doing..

What A Pleasant Surprise!
by Old Johnny

I have owned over 40 cars and trucks in my 44 years of driving. My Elantra GT ranks very near the top of all of them. They range from a VW Beetle to a Mercedes 500E class. My drag racing days are long gone so I look at other features than quarter mile performance today when purchasing or leasing a new car.
Some of the reasons for selection the Elantra include overall quality, fit and finish, comfort, interior room, in town driving performance as I seldom drive on the highway anymore, the hatchback, the 6 speed dual clutch transmission (I am not a CVT fan), the added performance features of the GT, the warranty etc, etc.

Ballin? on a budget

I used to drive an Elantra and I was dreaming of a hatchback. I never got used to the slanted windows in a regular Elantra, but the GT fixed all that. The 2018 has a boss system with a touch screen. I literally feel like I am in a space ship, because the 2018 Elantra GT is out of this world!!!

I've owned many cars and this is the best 4$

First the quality of the car is fantastic. Close doors, nice thunk, paint is very good. The interior design and quality is a class higher than this price point. I paid $17k for a gt base auto with mats and mudgaurds. Second the technology is top of class. Android auto, Sirius xm, apple CarPlay, HDradio, bluetooth all very easy to setup and navigate. BIG rear view camera with active guidelines. Android Auto turns it into an 8" google maps navigation. Nice sounding audio system even in base. Paired my phone in 10 seconds. Third, economy. I've driven 1100 miles and am averaging 33mpg mixed. Fourth, handling is awesome, sport mode changes the entire feel of the car, drives like a 9/10ths GTi. And fifth, I really like the look of this car. Understated, a look and feel of quality that you'd expect in a car costing much more. I'm very impressed with this Hyundai Elantra GT and very happy with my purchase.

Stylish, fuel efficient and holds the road nicely. A pleasure to drive. Our first Elantra was a lease, we decided to buy a new one when our lease ended.

Best performance for the money
by Joe Flasko
from Colorado
on Thu May 17 2018
After owning a Kia Optima, the Elantra GT Sport is by far a better car. The styling, performance, and fun factor difference is considerable. Although the Kia was a very nice looking car, the performance was always an issue. The Elantra had so many more features (free wifi for 3 years, including navigation, more horsepower for the money).

Love my new car!
by Caahsmo
on Fri Aug 17 2018
I read a newspaper article about this car probably 9 months ago, which was really a rave review of it. I went and looked at it about 7 months ago and liked it but didn't test drive because I thought I'd keep my Mini. For some reason, last month went and looked at the dealer web site and there was a Hyundai cash incentive and the car had been marked down, so I knew I could get it for a good price (manual transmission). Test drove it, loved it! Zippy, cute, comfortable, lots of toys (Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay e.g.) that I didn't have before. Dealer met my price, yay! Love, love, love my Hyundai! Hyundai has great cars at value pricing all figured out.

Needed room for a car seat and a Great Dane and my veloster - as much as I loved it - wasn't cutting it. The GT was a nice upgrade without having to go the sedan route.

Did I Just Become A Lifetime Hyundai Customer?
by Rob L.

Try not to read too much into the NON-five-star ratings about this car. The 4 of 5 stars for interior design is ONLY reflective of TWO very small, minor minor things. I would like the sport/non-sport mode button located on the wheel or dash (it might be operable there, I've only just bought it), and the driver seat could use a larger range of movement in the DOWN direction...at its lowest setting, i only have an inch or two between my head and the roof.
Everything else ROCKS!!! I love this car!! I came from a 2012 Ford Focus SE (their world-car platform first focus here in the US), and am MORE happy about THIS car than when I bought THAT one. Its SOOO smooth. I only drive in sport mode, but thats because it lets the revs stay high and sounds good.
