  • It’s been 2 years since ‪@hyundai‬ shocked the world and introduced an affordable yet practical performance car, the Hyundai Elantra N. In that time, the Elantra N and Elantra N DCT have gone head to head with the ‪@volkswagen‬ GTI and even welcomed new competitors in the form the ‪@toyotausa‬ GR Corolla to the market but with all the change going on in the world, what’s it like to live with a Hyundai Elantra N and does anyone take it seriously?

    22 Elantra N owner here. It's an amazing street car but it's even better on a track. I use mine as a track toy and it's been a pleasure driving it.
    The new facelift looks more mature and forged wheels are an welcome upgrade. I hope Hyundai continue making these!

    I LOVE my 2024 Hyundai Elantra N with the DCT in Cyber Grey.
    It hits way above it's class. So many cool features. I find cool new features every week.
    5,500 miles so far, and loving every second of it.
    In ECO mode it EASILY gets 37-42 mpg when driving at 70mph or less

    2020 Veloster N with the performance package and of course a 6MT. This is my daily driver and I have no issues with the clutch or anything else. She is over 4 years old and I drive her like a spoiled teenager (I am 65 next month). Not even a squeak or clunk. I have installed a few minor mods but off the lot this is the best sorted car I have owned. FYI, my wife's top of the line GV70 does not have wireless Carplay either.

    My reservation about saying it is a direct comparison to the GTI is that the GTI has wayyyy less hp & torque than the EN. I don't want to get on the octane learning train but I've dynoed my 22 EN under peak boost (19 psi vs 15 psi) and it put down 270 whp! These cars were definitely underrated from the factory and I think it competes a lot more with the Type R/S and GR Corolla than people care to admit.
    Also I think you spoke the truth on seats; car people love them, non car people just don't get it. Lol

      It’s a competitor due to its similar price vs the GTI I wouldn’t say it has wayyyyyy more HP either. My MK8 dynoed at 241whp and 273wtq when stock.
      GTIs have a much better aftermarket. GTI has wayyyyy better interior and dealer/service network. I’m not a VW fan boy either but i can speak from experience since my previous car (before mk8) was a Genesis G70 3.3t. I sold it because the service at Hyundai dealers (I tried different ones) was TERRIBLE. Valet was non existent for a “luxury” car. I also got bored of the auto in the G70. I went with a 6MT GTI and I’m now at 405whp and 400wtq on 93 pump gas. No silly octane learning required.
      I also test drove the Elantra N and thought the interior was really cheap. Seats were hard and not comfy at all. Brakes were awesome though so I give it to the N with brakes, but that was it. GTI was better in every other way and I knew I was going to mod it so better after market, superior interior, and better dealer/service was high on my list.

      The GTI also has over 40 years of history in the U.S. over 8 generations. We are in the 1st generation of N cars. The N cars focus is less compromise and more performance for your money. If they are this good on their 1st generation, can´t wait to see how the next ones will be.

    I have a 24 Elantra N. The MPG on the sticker is a bit off in a way. The car has Standard, Sport, Eco, and N Modes. In the Eco mode i'm getting 29 MPG and up to 42 MPG on long trips. I'm assuming the 23-24 MPG is in standard Mode. They should put the MPG in each mode, cuz i wasn't too thrilled about it 23/24. I only drive in Eco and N modes. The Eco mode still moves really quick and if I need a bit more speed, i just hit the N button on my steering wheel. I had to fly out to Atlanta to get my N. Locally they were selling before they hit the lots as well as just about anywhere else. It was a 600 mile trip and that's how I found out you can get up to 42 MPG.

Idk how to explain but it just feels more fun. Also a being 24yr old, the insurance savings helped too, paid 2.3K every 6 months for the G70 down to 1.7k with the Elantra N. I’ll definitely miss some of the luxuries tho, like the heads up display, sound system etc, but the trade off was worth it for a much more fun car, to me at least.

      I think there's still hate left over from when they truly were crap. I lived in Korea for six years, and owned two Hyundais in that time. The first was falling apart with just over ten thousand miles on it. Then I got one of the first Elantra's back in '91 and it was night and day better. That said, they were still shit when it came to crashworthiness. Over time, that's improved. I still laugh when people trashed my Dodge Charger because they had one back in the last century, and it was crap. I owned my 2012 for ten years and it was flawless.

    Now I have a 2023 zl1 6spd and 2024 camry hybrid. For anything under 50k Elantra n 6spd is the funnest option. I have also owned civic type r fk8, golf r 7.5, 3 Subaru sti, Evo 8. Only car I enjoy more is my Camaro zl1 6spd.

    As a Kona N driver here in Europe I completely agree with you. I was really looking forward to buying Elantra N but sadly - they never brought it here in Europe. I don`t really understand why - I mean it would have been an excellent direct competitor to the Skoda Octavia RS, which is basically a re-badged GTI in a sedan version. We have plenty of performance sedan options from other European brands, but Hyundai remarkably - never pulled the trigger to bring it here. It was a big mistake IMHO, because we love the i30N and all those guys who bought it and got a family - had to look for a performance sedan elsewhere so Hyundai lost customers. Furthermore - they completely killed off the ICE N cars this February. Another big mistake - never mind how great the Ioniq 5 N is - it is just not something us N car drivers want to pay and drive. I understand the emissions aspect but Cmon @Hyundai EUROPE - other companies still offer "hot" ICE versions - especially VAG group - so what is the problem really? You guys cultivated so much N drivers and now where do we go for an upgrade or a new car? -THe competitors obviously - again A LOT of us are just NOT fans of EV cars - sorry.

    2 years ago, I had an allocation order in at my local dealer and waited 7 months and my car never came in. I then tried to get any EN anywhere within 3 states and none would do better than a $4k markup even if i were to come in and buy that day.
    I went and bought a GTI without any markup that day after giving up on Hyundai and their dealers. I then drove my GTI to the Hyundai dealer and got my $500 deposit back.
    While I like my GTI, I still look longingly at the EN, but Hyundai USA needs to do better about dealer network. This after I had bought an Ioniq 3 years ago and it was a bad experience. And then trying to get the EN. I think I am done buying Hyundai cars.

I've had many other 4-cylinder turbos in the past some of them five-speed and 80 mph in 5th gear was 2500. There's no reason for a Hyundai to have such a short gear ratio for 6th gear. It's a cruising gear for economy. You can lug 4th and 5th gear from 1509 rpm and it will do the same damage to your engine.

      We have a 2nd car, 2021 Kona with the perforated leather seat. I suggest getting that exact same car to keep the wife quiet (so that you can keep the EN). In snow, set Kona's differential to 50/50 split, traction control OFF and it drives like a rally car. Plus those premium 8-way power seats are fantastic.

Also it's 276hp not 300... 24hp difference is a pretty big stretch lol.

      3) I don't like the looks of the EN at all.
      It helped that I waited a year after the ITS debuted. I managed to get a brand new dealer "show" vehicle that had $8k in options/accessories for MSRP. I had offers from other dealers with bare bone ITS' and they were asking $49.6~. I got to keep the OEM rims/tires and obviously got the bronze rims with the PS4S too.
      4 year loan @ 6.19% but I'll have it paid off by end of year two (no prepayment penalty). I was interested in a new CT4BW prior, but they're starting to list them (with a manual) for more like $70k pre tax tags etc.

The Hyundai dealership in Hendersonville TN USA just lets the car sit because they cannot repair / don't know how to repair / or don't give a shit. I opened a case with customer NO-Service and that was a total waste of my time. Even with an attorney on the case Hyundai does not communicate and all I get from the dealer are lies. Crappy product and even worse communication. Buy another Asian brand with shorter warranty that you will never need.
