Review: 2017 Hyundai Elantra Sport | 200ps 1.6L Turbo 7 Speed DCT

Did you cringe every time you get in the car in those hot red seats?

Well, after a while it's possible to ignore the reds. One just opens the door and jump right in. I still feel entertained by the power and tranny whenever I drive it. I am still slightly affected by its build quality. Overall drive experience I would prefer the Civic Turbo

yeah, the civic just feels so much more perfected all round.
To be honest, after driving a certain car for a certain period, you start to pay attention to the little details

You don’t feel the overall ambience of the Civic plasticky and cheap feeling? A Mazda 3 cabin feels more premium than the civic. I’ve never sat in the Elantra before so can’t comment.

Honestly? I don't think the interior of the Civic feels cheap in any way, certainly not premium but definitely nothing really negative, for me at least. No doubt there are plenty of plastics used, as long as the execution and choice of textures are well thought of, I think its all that matters

I'm quite happy with the ergonomics and overall design of the cockpit. Most of all, I like how it feels almost futuristic inside

at least, it's what I felt during my 4 day duration with it

you don't think so?
