TrueDelta Reviews the Brand Reputation of the Hyundai Elantra GT

Hyundai Elantra GT Brand Reputation: Cons
YearComment
While Hyundai's reputation has come a long way, it hasn't been fielding top-ranked sport compacts for decades the way Volkswagen and Honda have, and consequently it has little cred among driving enthusiasts. Buy a Hyundai Elantra GT and you'll have to explain your choice in a way GTI owners do not. Buyers of the new Civic Si might have to defend the exterior styling, but otherwise shouldn't encounter much blowback. But the Elantra GT? Friends and family could have doubts. For those who don't care for the obvious choices, and who find diamonds in the rough appealing, this could be a plus. see full Hyundai Elantra GT review
