A Sporty Drive

Life is more fun when there’s a turbo under the hood.

- Patrick Ho

There’s nothing that gives most humans more pleasure than driving at high speed. Don’t get me wrong, speeding is not encouraged but if you have driven on race tracks before and are one of those that love motorsports, you will know what I mean.

But buying a car can be a little overwhelming, especially for former motorheads with a need for speed.

Most of us choose a car either for the brand (if you can afford it!) or most commonly, for the daily functional use of the car.

While going from ‘point A’ to ‘point B’ sounds a little mundane, there are some who take into account many factors and features of a car before making a purchase for various reasons.

One of the recent cars that I tested was the Hyundai Elantra 1.6 Sport.

Scribes like me have done many vehicle tests and there are times when I suffer from what I call “withdrawal symptoms” when I have to return the keys. This happens when the car far exceeds my expectations.

The Elantra 1.6 Sport did strike a chord in my heart, I must admit. It was one of the most satisfying drives in a long time.

For one thing, the highly-aerodynamic design not only reduces wind drag and improves fuel consumption, but it was an undeniable head turner to say the least.
