I know two people personally to have had an Elantra bought back due to multiple transmission failures...

Hyundai just recalled 1.7 million engines due to the tendency of failing, so, no. 

I’ve known of quite a few Hyundai’s being Lemon’d. They are extremely poorly put together. We have a 2014 Azera Limited, 2002 Suburban, and 2016 FiST in the driveway. The Azera has the least amount of miles and has been to the dealer more times than the FiST, and the FiST is modified. The Azera has worse build quality…

She also drives it everyday(she commented on the FB page that she works at the gift shop/welcome center there), so she probably could disappear within a very short amount of time.

S2000 driver works at the gift shop on the road. She’s literally commuting to work.

I agree with the looks thing, but have you test driven literally any of the competitors? A Camry is much more exciting to drive. Or a rock. Or an Aveo. Or a moving van. Or... The point is, this thing is dull as a cloud.

I own a FiST, and test drove one of these. Get the FiST while you can. The interior in the Elantra looks nicer, but doesn’t feel it. The FiST’s engine is a lot more exciting, even stock. While the FiST’s steering isn’t the world’s greatest, it is magnitudes bettter than the Hyundai. Most importantly, the FiST makes…

As someone who test drove an Elantra Sport, I thought it was pretty mediocre. The interior looks nice, but feels Aveo-ish. The engine is incredibly dull, it gets the job done, but in the most unexciting fashion. The steering is as sporty as a 70's Cadillac.

I too frequent there, and I never noticed it until I drove by at night, and the lights were on around it. It was great.

The Lexus dealer in Hilton Head, SC(it may be considered Blufton, SC) has a white one roped off in the lobby, and not listed.

Apparently they only won’t fit the GSL-SE.

I feel like they had a slightly different something than the standard wheel, and only fit on a certain trim. Something to do with brakes, I think.

Yeah, there was something else going on there.

How was the steering? I test drove a new Elantra Sport yesterday, and it was actually really decent, but the fun was killed by the lack of any steering feel. Sorry if it’s in the video, but I’m on mobile.

Mine is tuned with the stock intetcooler, the cooling issues are slightly overblown.

The Veteran’s Museum in Huntsville, AL had a pretty decent military Jeep collection, including the original prototype at one time.

Could be a reference to this.

That’s federally illegal. You can report the tag number to the EPA, and generally (well they used to before CheetoMan) they will hand out a hefty fine if there is proof(dash cam).

Depending on your definition, it’s federally not. Old diesels that did it stock, sure it’s legal, but modding the truck to do it is not. It’s not financially feasable to retrofit old trucks to modern standards. It would also kill their reliability, like they have on modern diesels.
