A subcompact crossover with the Elantra N's turbo engine and surprisingly sharp, playful handling.

Worth knowing
- Dual-clutch only, stiff ride and small cargo area, and the long powertrain warranty shrinks for second owners.
- Performance cars like this usually cost much more to insure than an average car, often 30% or more. Get a quote before you buy.
- Budget for higher running costs: summer performance tires cost about $700 to $1,200 a set and wear quickly, and brakes cost more than on a regular car.
The trim we'd park in our garage
Both model years are essentially identical, so buy on condition and records, favoring unmodified cars with software updates completed.
On the test drive
