Explain to me why buying a 2017 Elantra Sport is a bad idea.
I've been driving my Sonata for 10 years and want something newer. Before I was looking at the Mazda 3 and the new Civic Hatch. I hate the CVT and the shitty head unit in the Civic that lacks physical buttons for the radio and HVAC controls. The Mazda is in serious need of a refresh and I dislike the louder cabin and worse head unit.
The new Elantra Sport is cheaper than both. It has a multilink rear suspension. It's quieter than the Civic and Mazda and comes with a 7 speed dual clutch. It's HUGE inside and has a better infotainment system. It has the same 1.6L turbo out of the Veloster.
I can pick then up for thousands less than MSRP and they have a longer warranty and theres a hatchback version coming out in a few months and I want a hatch.
Why SHOULDN'T I just get a new Elantra Sport hatch rather than a Civic or 3? It seems obvious since they're seemingly just as good if not better and are ridiculously cheap.

Just get whatever gives you the most bang for the buck (probably the Hyundai). I wouldn't keep it for too long though, The resale on them isn't amazing.

>pros
10yr/100k warranty
cheap
luxo-bloat that you seem to like
>cons
1.6L may be a bit lacking
turbo means more stringent maintenance schedule
depreciation

I would still get the Civic.

Steering isn't the best I guess
Honestly it's a really solid car.

Hondas retain there value in trade in scenarios when you want to get a real car OP. Hyundai's do not, despite their wonderful warranties. The new CIVIC will retain its value across 5 years much better and is well worth the extra 3K
