I have loved warm/hot hatches ever since my first, a 1991 Acura Integra RS, so stripped of options it didn't even have AC, but light as a feather with its 142hp DOHC 16-valve. I went on to a 1994 Integra GS-R, but since then have had a couple of Honda Civic sedans.
Recently, kind of having a mid-life crisis, I started looking again, and found the Elantra GT N-Line, which (with the tech package) looked like the perfect combination of everything, especially taking regular fuel in a category most don't. I started searching for them, and found a dealer 100 miles away, with a certified pre-owned 2019 GT N-Line in Summit Gray (one of my two preferred colors for the year) with less than 8,000 miles on it. I had to try it out to see what the fuss was about, so I invited a friend to come along with me.
I took it for a test drive through streets, highways, and hairpin turn ramps and was seriously impressed by the handling capabilities, performance, reasonable comfort, and electronics for the price. Within ten miles, I knew it was my next vehicle, and four hours later, I drove out of the dealership. It boggles my mind Hyundai didn't make a bigger deal out of a car that's seriously this good and a better value than the Civic Si or Golf GTI.
I am going to have one helluva lot of fun. This car lights up my face in a huge grin every time I've driven it.
