Elantra sport vs civic si

Why the fuck wont Honda make a dct or automatic and throw it into the SI? Do they really think its that prestigious of a line? The ES is better than the SI in every way imaginable...what the fuck honda. Explain to me how the hell Hyundai managed to tune an exhaust for a compact "sport" car that sounds better than alot of actual sports car...yet honda cant match it in the oh so special si

love mine, got the 6MT tho. sure the stick isn't better than hondas, but at least the car doesn't look like dogshit

picking up one late current or the refresh. I just bought a car and rushed into it like an idiot and fell for the crossovers are versatile meme. Everyday is a new challenge not to for upside down on the loan and back myself into more debt even though its a tiny amount left the car has plenty of miles left to go so ill hold on to it How is that exhaust...as good as they say...what about maintenance/reliability? Is the car expensive or prone to breaking? everyone is freaking out over these new turbo engines and the long term of them.

afaik the theta engine has proved to be fine over the years on other hyundai models. the exhaust is nice, one of my favorite things about the car. i've only put 6k miles on it so far so nothing to really report. i've done an oil and filter change. the car does good on gas, but the 2-3 gear pull is so fun it gets easy to be addicted to the boost and guzzle gas. even when i drive like an ass i can still do above 25 mpg. if i drive normal on the freeway i get 35+ consistently.

great so it gets better than they say it does. I will be going with the dct though. I hear its ok. I think im gunna wait till the refresh. Apparently hyundai has some shit in store for us with the n line so who knows...maybe we will see a 300 hp elantra in the future mayneee

How does the Elantra coop without having cooling vents on the rear bumper? Doesn't bumper fluid turn to sludge if it gets too hot?

last couple cars i drove with dcts were really annoying in stop and go traffic. they just seem jerky at low speeds. hyundai actually did a pretty stellar job with the 6MT and clutch in this car. i got really hung up on shifter and clutch feel when i was test driving a bunch of cars before i bought this one.

wut

Exactly what I heard as well. I hear it pairs well with the engine but shit man I wish they just threw a normie auto in it but shit hopefully they fix it up for the next one, and by the way hiiiuhhhhhdaiiiiiii is going im sure they will.

Or you know, just get a 1.8t jetta sport and APR tune it.

I had one, with a 93 APR tune, a torque monster with instant power (small K03 turbo)

242 hp/293 tq. It was bad ass for what it was. Some harley fags though they could go faster... LOL.... got it to 130 and the look on the guys face was priceless.

The fake cooling vents on the rear bumper. Like literally what the fuck. The rear bumper isn't a fucking heat source on any front engine car.
