Hot hatchback thread

show me the memeboost for 20k

The new i30 is getting rave reviews, literally raving about the chassis. Considering it is the EGT, I'd say odds are pretty good.

Sounds like you are already aware that the Elantra Sport is also getting rave reviews for its chassis. Odds are through the roof that the EGT is gonna be a good car to drive.

Also the GTI will hit the top of your price range BTW. Volkswagen doesn't have thousands of dollars in incentives like Hyundai currently does. You should be able to get $4k off the EGT right off the bat; it's an ongoing rebate across the Hyundai line-up.

>Also the GTI will hit the top of your price range BTW
Yeah, I've been watching prices and they've actually gone up in the last couple of months. In April dealerships near me had them at 19k for the base model, now they are around 22k.

Shouldn't the price be going down on them? The refresh is imminent, and will bring the 10hp upgrade to all models.

Quick question: if I did get an Elantra Sport, is there anything I should know about beforehand?

I think it's coming this fall or next spring (not sure) I'm eyeballing that little Korean hatchback too. Also looking at the Impreza sport hatch but obviously that's a slower car.
I thought it's going to be available with a 2.0 liter turbo as well.

It's Korean, Hyundai lies about the fuel economy, and it's likely to be less reliable than competitors.

Still better than Nissan though

Check yourself. Go to autotrader and pick new, 4 cylinders, manual , sort by price lowest.

when I bought my Hyundai this past spring (Accent, not Elantra) I was getting 3500 in rebates off a car with a MSRP of 15k.

They had some 2k rebate for buying a new car and then a 1500? rebate for being a first time hyundai buyer.

Hyundai understates fuel efficiency. I pulled just shy of 46 MPG on a 230 mile drive KY to Columbus last month, and 43.5 on the way back down in 4th of july holiday traffic. There's plenty of reasons to hate on them, but the MPGs is not the right one.

MZ3 owner here, anyone done an efocus/2014+ focus mount swap? Just bought one and was wondering how good they are.
