Love my new car!

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.

A Lot of Fun for a Little Price

The car's exterior styling is pretty plain in some areas and I don't love the factory wheels. However, for the price you get a gutsy high torque turbo with great leather interior and solid tech options. The car is already fast with the dual clutch, 6.3 to 60. It has plenty of room on the inside and can expand to a great amount of cargo space. I put a K&N cold air I take on mine and it pulls really quickly with solid shifts and fast acceleration. Simple aftermarket additions could make this little turbo a monster.

Loving My GT

I love how much fun this car is to drive. Beeping in and out of traffic and great power for the highway. It?s also so sexy looking and stands out with the new grill front.

Value of the vehicle is worth the price

I had a different Hyundai in mind that I was going to drive off the lot with, but I ended up in a still partially wrapped bright blue Elantra GT. The ride is smooth, the interior/exterior are excellent and the features in the base model are enough to keep anyone happy with the value. When driving in town is accelerates seamlessly, when on the interstate the sound in the cabin is stellar. The body doesn't roll much at all through on and off ramps and the vehicle doesn't feel like it's going to blow over in a strong wind. I feel safe, comfortable and in the right century in this car! I'm so happy with my purchase.

A very reliable car.

This car meets my expectations. The seats are comfortable with adequate leg space. Does not need frequent car repair services. I love this model vehicle.

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!
