2018 Elantra GT could be better
The 2018 Elantra GT is a pretty good car. The one I got had pretty near all the features I wanted except for three important features that should be on every new car. The first feature it should have is LED headlamps, mines had LED Daytime Running Lamps but halogen headlights. Second feature should be light auto dimming rear view mirror. Third should be Homelink programmable security gate/ garage door opener.
The car itself is ok, acceleration is very good. But the thing I most don’t like about the car is steering, there’s a lag when you turn the car that should not be there. It’s not as good as a Mazda in steering to wheel contact and movement. You have constantly adjust when driving to stay straight and in turns. Good thing I leased this car. I will be heading back to Mazda When this lease is over.
I used to shuttle cars for Hertz Rental at the airport and drove Kias to Porsches and many brands in between, I know what I’m talking about, this car would be good for a young family because of the warranty and pricing but not someone who’s been driving for 50 years, me.
