I've posted this here because IMHO the Elantra is basically an i30 sedan.

Good review :goodjob2: Hyundai should do well with the new model, it visually looks nicer than the Honda as well imo, not that the Hyundai colour shown there would be my choice but I think the Hondas are ugly.

Thank's for the link Trev, I was surprised to see a Honda with Turbo, Honda build good motors.
Hyundai build good reliable Cars! So both would have to be good. Just for myself I would not choose a turbo petrol as the turbine in the turbo unit would spin at much higher rev's than say a turbo diesel. So not practical for what I was update need for transport personaly. But the turbo would add torque at lower rev to the small patrols. Just would also add unwanted runing costs.
But a young guy would enjoy one for sure!
