Anyone tested this car? Is it good and is the torque really there?

Tested Elantra Sport when it was launched. Felt rather disappointed with the power it listed, but when you drive you don't feel the power at all.

You won't find many family cars with sub 7.7s 0-100km/h. Compare with Jetta, Focus, 408T, Civic 1.5T, Mazda 3, not with Golf GTi la.

Out of those you mentioned, I've only driven Civic and Mazda 3. And I honestly felt Mazda 3 has way better response than Elantra Sport. Even handling wise is way better as well, the stiffness when cornering and speed control of GVC did impress me.
Or perhaps I watched too much of reviews about Elantra Sport abd heard too much compliments from those car critiques, thus expected too much.
But if Elantra Sport were to go for less than 120k, then yes, it's worth every penny, and would opt for Elantra rather than the Mazda 3.
