Question Hyundai Elantra GT

Hey everyone--

I'm not heading out to buy it or anything, but am curious what everyone else thinks about this car.

There's one in my neighborhood and every time I go by I have to admit being impressed. Personally, I think it looks cool (resembles a Saab), it comes with all the options (including leather), apparently drives quietly, etc..

Hyundai quality continues to be a real concern, though. If it had an established record of reliability I might have actually considered it...

Am I insane, or does this car really look cool?

Uhh, I don't think you're quite as crazy as craigrrrp, apparently. I don't think they look good, but I don't think they look *that* bad. I hate leather seats, though, and I'm not yet prepared to trust a Hyundai.

SAABs are my favs. I first saw the Elantra driving down the road. My head head spun round cause I thought it was a SAAB. I was in the pursuit to buy one, but a friend of mine had a rough time trying to get one through a bad dealer. Then I realized I could never buy a Korean car. I love the styling though.

I must admit the new Tyrbion's, look much better than the old one. I ESPECIALLY love the dual exhausts... any car with dualie's do it for me!

I think they look good, but if your out for a car for you, I would go for the new tiburan if it has to be Korean. SportsCompact mag gave it mad props!!

The Elantra GT got good reviews in the car mags, not so for the Tiburon. As for SCC, I wouldn't regard their opinions too highly.

I have to agree with you on that one! Nice looking car (see pic below... drool...)

As for the GT Elantra, YUKK!!!!! Can you say '70s???? It looks like a car made in the '70s IMO!

Found this pic of a Daewoo hatchback

I think this looks better than the Elantra...

Is that last pic photoshopped? It sure looks like it

In any case, I think they're pretty ugly... Accent looks better then the Elantra
