 If you are looking for a nice commuter vehicle this is really a good choice.  The ride is smooth and the 2.0L 173 Horsepower Engine is the same engine used for the 2.0L Turbo-Charged 245 Horsepower Engine used in the 2015+ Sonata.  So minus the boost from the turbo, the engine is respectfully peppy, in particular when used in the sport shifting mode, keeping the engine in its maximum torque range, (3500 to 4500 RPM).  It makes a very nice jump on to the highway.  The digital steering control allows you to switch the steering feel mode from Normal> Comfort> Sport. Its a nice touch, in particular for a little fun on the curvy back-roads in my county.The sound system is quite good for the stock stereo system.  It really doesn't need much more than it has.  I would only add that some slightly better quality speakers would indeed make a difference.  I say this because I spend much time in this vehicle and have a tendency to bring a laptop and watch movies with a patch-cord jacked into the AUX Outlet, to plumb sound through the vehicle's sound system.  Needless to say action films tend to tax the speakers a little bit, so mine might be visiting my local stereo shop for a minor upgrade in that department.For this aspect I have to be realistic.  Understand the Elantra GT is not based on the same body as the sedan.  The vehicle is actually physically shorter by nearly a foot in length.  So the back seats in this vehicle are OK for young kids, but teens or adults, forget it!  I have fairly long legs, so the seat on the driver's side is nearly all the way back.  However, if you are like my wife and I, and have no children, then this aspect really doesn't matter.The cargo area is great, I have no issues this this department.  The rear seats in the hatchback have a double fold procedure to make the rear cargo area extremely large.  For myself as a Firearm Instructor this is particularly important when I need to load my range equipment into this vehicle.  The vehicle in total is very roomy, plenty of head-room and front leg room.If you are looking for a great vehicle, this is quiet a nice car for the price.  I have the Option Package #2, which is the "Style Package".  This comes with the 17 Inch Alloy Rims, Fog-Lights, 6 Speed Automatic/Sport Shift Transmission and Power Driver's Seat.  There are many other bells and whistles with the GT Hatchback Model that does not come on the Sedan until you get into the other option packages.
