GLS vs GT

[willywonkab]

I don't really understand the major difference between the 2. Can some one explain? :confused:

Leather, Instruments, Rear disc brakes, Alloy wheels, Standar rear spoiler, Hatchback or sedan options, Tuned Suspension

[BobMs_wht2k2]

"Tuned suspension?" Not really "tuned", there's only a 1mm difference in sway bars and if i remember right they are going to offer a 5 dr GLS soon anyway. Just leather and standard 4wheel disc and 1 interior color choice.
I don't like leather, so the choice was simple for me!! :D

the springs on a gt are definetly stiffer....but if your going aftermarket it doesnt matter at all....i went with the gt becuase i love hatches...but need four doors :D

[Elantravision]

The biggest difference is the price. In Canada, the difference between my GL {base Elantra} and the 5 door GT, is about 4 G's. If you plan on doing some suspension mods on a sedan, throw on some nice 17's, do some minor interior upgrades, and an audio system upgrade you have a stylin' sedan, that suits you better than a GT might. The money you'll save on car payments can go towards the other things you might like to personalize your car with.

is it true that the 2004 elantra engine is the same a the 2003 v4 tiburon

[2GTS]

Yes and it's an I4 not V4

[watson80]

I think the GT is the way to go...rear disc brakes,alloys, leather, gauges! Its a no brainer. I love the Hatchback look. Just got mine all done and the pics are comin very very soon. Finally this 8month project is over.

[willywonkab]

my bad I4!!!!!!!!! :eek:I want to know if the 2003 tiburon parts will fit the same in my 2004 elantra.

[watson80]

its ok you would be suprised how many people come to my dealership and say "is that a V6 or a V4" it is actuallly kind of funny

[2GTS]

Most parts from a 03 Tib will work. But things like the Intake manifold, throttle body, and really most anything else on the head portion of the engine are NOT swapable. The cvvt uses slightly different hardware and uses the MAF instead of MAP sensor.

[Kspec01]

yeah but peeps gotta remember that some sedans did come with rear disc too :)

[Steve]

I hate you Americans with your rear disc braked GT sedans, and when I say hate, I mean covet.

[watson80]

What sedans came with rear disc?....Do you mean GT sedan?

[SuperGLS]

Yeah, but also there was the rear wheel disc option on some of the 2001-2002 (and possibly 2003) Elantras. Nothing too special, same brakes as on the GT. When I bought my car the option only came with the Sunroof/CC option. It was too much for me, I wish I would have gotten it though, oh wells.

[watson80]

Oh yeah thats right I forgot about that!
