It should also be mentioned that the Elantra N is FWD and the Subaru WRX is AWD. (i.e. all wheels have power at all speeds). In addition, the Elantra N has electronic suspension while the Subaru WRX TR does not unless you get the GT model.
I'd prefer to have $60k to spend instead of $35k too! 😁 EN is more an alternative to a Civic Si, not a Supra, lol... I also have a Camaro SS 1LE and got the EN DCT as a DD. Great car. I've owned Subarus and not sure I'd go for another. The STi had a great trans/awd system but the rest of the car sucked. The WRX was actually better as the whole car sucked about the same amount and expectations are a lot lower, but a sporty AWD car with open diffs is really unfortunate and makes no sense to me. Modern WRX also looks horrible. EN's styling is juvenile, but overall much better looking.
I don't care for the front end redesign although it's not a deal breaker. The rear bumper is absolutely horrible. They took away the triangle rear design cues (which is the theme of the car) and simply squared and rounded it. I don't get it. The white is definitely the one I prefer too although the performance blue is tempting.The black Y spoke wheels are a little too much black on the white car. I would definitely change those out to a similar y spoke except a nice polished aluminum alloy in an 18".
Having a manual transmission is lame. Hagerty just released a video of cars under 40k and the ecoboost mustang automatic transmission killed the Elantra manual.

I think the Subaru is better as in terms of just a simple car plus all-wheel drive an aftermarket support
Good point!

Yes, good point, the Elantra N is FWD and the WRX is AWD.

All good points. I just loved the Supra that I had in for review and would rather have it over either of these.
Love my 25 N. My daily Driver. #CyberGrey
I enjoyed driving it!
To me the best kept secret out of N brand is the Kona n
Interesting, I haven't tried it yet.

Sorry guys 40 k isntcreally affordable
When compared to other track car options that are in the $50-$60K, they are the more affordable option.
I have Kona N love the thing 23 race type R beat the WRX the type R got me by one car but I was closing the gap quick and he stepped on the break

It's just about preference. Growing up with manuals, there are just fun to drive, except in traffic! Lol
@offtheshelfrides saying manuals are fun to drive is like saying I like manual crank windows to power because of the engagement.
@arctictruck10 chill. 3 pedals was never meant for you but some actually know how to drive... good luck 🫠
