2018 Hyundai Elantra Sport Review - 300whp Turbo Sleeper Sedan

"Elantra" and "300whp" in the same sentence? This might be the sleeper of all sleepers.

I absolutely adored my ‘18 ES. These cars have so much potential and even stock gave so much confidence while driving. Mine was totalled recently and I miss it every day.

Fun little car. I love when people do unique things to their cars just for the sake of going off the beaten path

[DadGuides]

I just got the 6 speed manual version of this car and its so much fun to drive!

The ES made me a Hyundai fan. I particularly like the hatch version that was the first N Line. Fun little cars that got overlooked.

I had one pull behind me and didn't recognize the headlights. I testdrove a tinted blue 2018 model with their chrome rims. Ended up buying the car on the spot. This is the most fun car I've had since my 98 Eclipse GST

Man this setup would be so much fun with the 6sp manual!! 300 to the wheels in this lil thing would be a blast on the twisties!!

I want a bigger turbo in my ES so bad. Get a 22mm rear sway bar but leave yoir front stock and the rear end won't hop out a little but my rear end is planted on spirited driving in corners and feont in dives into turned more active and feels a little less dead now I'm also on YSR coilovers too. Love the BOV sound on yours.

The DCT was made by the same company that makes VW/AUDI DSG, and this car by no means look like a rental car, compare this car to the standard models in the 2017/2018 Elantra line to see all the differences. Plus this car is a value based sporty sedan. I feel like the reviewer dissed the car.

[perziano]

What BOV do you have? I’ve got a HKS bov but can’t for the life of me figure out how to properly connect it to all the vacuum lines and avoid check engine light.

My cousin has the same car and eibach took his car to create lowering springs and installed them for free. Kinda like a test fit and they ride great 👍🏽

[danielgabriel]

If this car was the 6-speed manual I would be impressed. But I'm older and I just miss 90s Japanese tuners so much.

[raedvalenzuela]

Awesome car. Proud owner of an 2023 Elantra N Line here and I admire cats that boost and mod older Elantra

[jeffybuddhem]

I have a 2012 Hyundai Elantra GLS and the handling is great. It is slow. So I want the 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport and I’ll definitely be adding this package to it. I’ve found some online with 50, 000 miles and only $13, 000!!

Nice set up. I have the same exact car with 6 speed. How much did this set up cost you?

[Lilburner]

Makes me wish mine was a sport but I did deck mine out regardless and gave her a sports exhaust and cold air intake so she looks and sounds nice at least

Bro that car was SUPER AWESOMEEE
I WISH I HAD THAT ELANTRA ❤️

[marksattler]

what bov do you have in this i just bought an 18 es with the dct, and am looking into replacing the stock bov

[RANDY_MARH]

These are cool. I had a elantra GT sport 6MT. It was pretty hard to find but that was a good car.

[devn]

I own a galactic grey Elantra Sport 6m too. I planned on getting an SI too and I got this instead

[_-NEOINTHEMATRIX-_]

I drove a Rental 2020 Elantra sport and it was fun idk if it was a 1.6 L or a 2.0 L but it was fasttt for a stock vehicle and handled super good in SPORT mode and drive niceee in the other modes too and Wowww I Fell I'm love with it it shifted super nice too had auto highbeam lights that turn off when a car is coming towards you which was niceee but yeah I don't even think it was turbo the one I drove but idk it could've been a quiet turbo car cause it accelerated like a modded 350z... it felt like it was turbo idk maybe you would know?
I HAVE TO GET A HYUNDAI ELANTRA ASAP
Ps. He didn't have anything bad happen or hit any issues because he used the dct and probably chip and probably bigger oil cooler and water pump and intercooler...
I would think he has a turbo timer also where you turn your car off and it has a set time that you set to shut the car off so that way the turbo can idle and cool down before just shutting it off in cold weather or just period probably.
But yeah thanks for all the info and the video both of you !
