The Hyundai Elantra Sport shares many features with the 2.0 Dynamic variant which I won’t repeat as you can read about them on my previous … Continue reading Chinese New Year 2018 with the (6th Generation) Hyundai Elantra Sport 1.6 Turbo GDi

Hyundai … Continue reading A Date with the (6th Generation) Hyundai Elantra 2.0 Dynamic
