Tim Chew

[Automobiles]   Not too long ago, I got to play with the new Hyundai Elantra 2.0 Dynamic (which you can read about here – https://timchew.net/2018/01/03/a-date-with-the-6th-generation-hyundai-elantra-2-0/) which was a pretty decent C-segment offering from the Korean automaker.

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
