Hello all. My name is Eric. I recently traded in my 2017 Cruze hatch for a new Elantra GT Sport. I actually custom ordered it, although I suppose I didn't have many options to choose. Interestingly enough, I'm a Chevrolet salesperson at an enormous dealership in Michigan, and we have a Hyundai building next door, so it worked out well for me.

It's been a great car for me the last 3 weeks, I've got about 700 miles on it now, and I am eagerly looking forward to building it up a little bit like I have my last few cars. It seems like a really good platform to work off of, and I'm really enjoying driving it. I'm looking to tune it as soon as I can figure out the right place to do it, and I desperately want an axle-back exhaust or muffler delete.

I look forward to being part of the community.

And now I have a Big Gulp intake and Tork pipe on order.

Congrats and welcome!

Now we just need to convince Hyundai to bring the i30 N to the USA - I'd definitely buy one for sure.

Yeah, you're telling me. That thing will be a monster.

I love the shift knob. Hilariously it brings out my inner ricer.

Ditto. Would look good in my blue ES.

Honestly, while it may sound childish, I was absolutely thrilled it had a red shift knob with red piping on the seats.

Welcome to the ES forums!

Thanks! I look forward to building up a car from the cutting edge again.
