ElantraClub - For Elantra Owners and Enthusiasts _ Announcements _ Ok, let's try this again

Posted by: elantraelite Jun 21 2017, 07:11 AM

I'd be happy to donate to the club. It's pretty amazing to think this place has been around for 15 years now!

Can't believe it's been 12 years since I bought my XD Elantra and was absolutely stoked to pick it up from the dealer. I loved my XD.

To be honest there hasn't been an Elantra since the XD that I looked at and thought, yep Hyundai you got it right again.

Enter the AD Elantra and I'm in love again! It's such a beautiful looking car from all angles. The front is spot on, side profile is sleek and the back is sexy just like the XD. The interior has a hit of the XD's legacy with the centre stack and cluster together like the XD.

I'm hoping to sell off the FD i30 Wagon, to be honest the diesel is starting to act up and I want to get rid of it before it costs too much in repairs. Mechanically it possibly needs a new turbo and I reckon there is something going on with one of the sensors on start up.

The partner and I are set on the AD Elantra SR - In Australia that is what they call the 1.6 Turbo top spec model. We drove the new i30 and Elantra and I just thought the Elantra had more personality. The i30 had more tech than the Elantra, but the ride and size of the car is much nicer.

We're looking at the 7 speed DCT... Im struggling with the idea of not having a manual transmission. Manuals are just unbreakable compared to autos, but given how much traffic we drive in these days the auto is better suited for us... I bet If I drove the manual I could easily change my mine.

Looking forward to joining the Elantra community again!
