Performance

4.5/513 of 13 reviewersstrong consensus

276 horsepower and 289 lb feet of torque. ... That is more power versus what you're going to get in vehicles like the Civic Si, the GTI

positive · Redline Reviews · ▶ 2:31

280-ish horsepower feels just right for this car certainly doesn't feel underpowered

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 3:21

it's got more Street credit in terms of performance basically strut multi-link in the back

Handling

4.5/513 of 13 reviewersstrong consensus

the way this thing points and shoots out of a corner is spectacular

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 2:02

the way this car rotates under throttle lift is barely rare in this class it feels very very fun

positive · Savagegeese · ▶ 7:58

Steering is incredible. ... Chassis tuning is a real highlight because I've got incredible control with a properly balanced front driver.

Fun to drive

5.0/513 of 13 reviewersstrong consensus

it's just a great car to drive on track

positive · Zygrene · ▶ 5:35

there's a sense of Whimsy to this that doesn't exist and even something like the Civic Type R

positive · Savagegeese · ▶ 9:53

I think this is kind of the most emotional car in this segment and a lot of that is delivered kind of just through the raw nature of this car

Value

5.0/513 of 13 reviewersstrong consensus

these are great cars to buy these are good value they're priced uh very very affordably

positive · TheStraightPipes · ▶ 1:46

this car at its core is still between $8 and $110,000 less than its nearest competition and price

Hyundai is delivering 90% of that German performance for less than half the German price.
