[ENGINE REVS / TIRES SCREECH] WITH THE MANUAL, IN 7.0 SECONDS FLAT; OUR LAST ELANTRA SEDAN TEST.

ENGINE NOISE IS, HOWEVER, MAKING US WISH THE MORE PLEASING WERE LOUDER.

WE LOVE THE MANUAL TRANNY.

SHIFTER THROWS MIGHT BE A LITTLE THIS IS NOT A HIGH DOLLAR JUST ENJOY THE FACT THAT YOU GET A CAR FOR A CHANGE.

THE QUARTER MILE WAS ALMOST AT 15.6 SECONDS QUITE A DIFFERENCE, THE HANDLING ATTRIBUTES, THAN ENOUGH TO EARN THE SPORT THE EXTERIOR GETS AN UPGRADE WITH A MORE AGGRESSIVE BODY KIT; WITH A BLACK GRILLE AND UNIQUE SILL EXTENSIONS DOWN THE SIDES, FOR THE DIFFUSER STYLE INSIDE, THERE ARE SPORT SEATS AND RED STITCHING, STEERING WHEEL.

SO IT OFFERS A QUITE WITHOUT COMPROMISING AS FOR THE 2018 ELANTRA GT; TO SMALL FRONT-DRIVE CROSSOVERS; THE COMPACT HATCHBACK.

SO, AS WE SEE IT, IN ALL ITS FORMS, AND NOW MORE ENTERTAINING, * AS CARS BECOME FASTER THERE SEEMS TO BE FEWER PLACES HIT THE PAVEMENT AND LET-ER-RIP.

WELL, OUR OVER THE EDGE GUY A GENUINE PROBLEM SOLVER, A PACK OF ENTHUSIASTS A 2-MILE ROAD COURSE ALMOST * Zach Maskell: THERE'S SOME AND SURELY, V8 POWER PLANTS.

THIS ONE GIVES YOU ALL AND NOW, YOU DON'T EVER HAVE TO Jim: THERE'S VERY FEW THINGS THAT CAN TAKE YOUR MIND OFF WHEN YOU COME OUT HERE, OR EVEN A COUPLE HOURS, ABOUT ANYTHING THAT'S HEAVY ON Mike Powell: IT'S ADDICTIVE.

IF SOMEONE HAD TOLD ME I WAS GOING TO SPEND ON BRAKES I WOULD'VE TOLD THEM THEY WERE Zach: NOT ONLY CAN YOU DRIVE MEANT TO BE...

THERE'S INSTRUCTORS AND OTHER TO HELP THESE RACERS BREAK ANY Steve Hunt: HIGH PERFORMANCE DRIVING WHERE THEY'VE KIND OF PLATEAUED.

THEY'RE NOT REALLY GAINING TIME.

THEY'RE NOT GETTING ANY BETTER.

SO, THIS IS THAT NEXT STEP UP ON THE TRACK.

Zach: AT DOMINION RACEWAY, VEHICLE SPEED, BRAKING, AND SO MUCH MORE.

AND YOU MIGHT THINK YOU HAVE PERIODICALLY JUST BECAUSE WELL NO, IT'S LIKELY LEAKING OUT JUST GET WORSE.
