2 years and 31,000 miles later and I still absolutely love my 2022 Elantra N!
my buddy got one and its already on second transmission.
dude wants to get rid of it. but resale price is too low, waaay too low.
Let us know after 4yr
@@tocreatee3585why don’t you teach him how to drive lol
@tocreatee3585 a manual? I'm considering a 2024 dct, but I don't want to be taking it into the shop regularly over stuff like that
@@locotek These cars are bullet proof. Don't listen to trolls.
we just on the sidewalk casually🤣
A 2022 Elantra N DCT owner here, is amazing and fast car, for the money is a great value, you have four cars in one, Eco and Normal mode for cruise and driving daily, Sport and N mode for the mountains and road curse like Michelin Road Atlanta in Georgia. This car is made for track, the steering is very communicative, the track sense active is the best setting for racing track and autocross, the brakes is very responsive, I recommend a little better pads for some heats, but have great brakes. My car have 32,000 miles with not issues. Also believe or not very cheap in gas, I made a road trip from South Carolina to Texas I get 40.3 MPG over 370 miles in one tank. My brother is a very BMW Fan, he drove my Elantra N and he said is amazing car. I love my Elantra N.
I love mine too
I love mine as well
In terms of value per dollar, there really isn't a single performance car on the market that comes close to the Elantra N MSRP for MSRP.
Problem is dealers realized that and now mark it up
@@noob.168 it is remarkably not marked up at any Hyundai dealers near me which is miraculous because I live in New York where every penny counts
Have you actually been to the dealership and asked about the price ? They are marking them up when you actually contact them and go
The online prices are not accurate
@alejandroestrada184 I have, some dealers don't do markup, others do, but it's fairly easy to find one at MSRP or below.
@@alejandroestrada184are there not laws that make it illegal when online pricing is lower what the dealership tells you in person? I mean where I live it's illegal, but dealerships still do it because buyers don't know it's illegal. But recently when the news got involved they turned with their tails tucked
Got my ‘24 Intense Blue Elantra N 6 MT two weeks ago. It has completely and totally won me over. I ordered in 2 months ago without ever driving it. It’s a modern Dodge Neon SRT-4: insane value, hilarious noises, great handling.
It's way better than a srt4 neon lol
I remember having a brand new 2005 Neon SRT4 in red color with the viper inspired seats, I do miss the sound and power but the handling wasn't that great. The Elantra N is way better in many aspects and I can also see the similarities to the SRT4 (great value for money, power and sound).
Is it really loud ?? 😅😅
This car really speaks to how far Hyundai has come since 1986 in the United States. This Elantra N is an amazing car, especially for the price.
my brother got 2020 hyundai and ALREADY burning OIL!
less than 20,000 mile.
It's amazing for people who can't afford something like an Integra Type S. The same way an Acura Integra Type S is for people who can't afford a BMW/Mercedes.
@@dark6c159well that's why Hyundai has the 10 year 100k mile warranty. Has your brother keeping up with maintenance?
@@mattmekhaeilProbably not. Sounds like his brother is struggling with the car payments and insurance and can't afford to keep up with the maintenance.
@@gotseoul123Its amazing that Hyundai can 95% the performance of the Type-R and a DCT for $36k.
But you can literally buy a 2 or 3 series with the B58 for about the same price as the Integra.
Optioned up Mustang GT and the Supra w/ B58 is in that price bracket too. Lol
I picked up my 24 EN DCT a few weeks ago and I’m loving it 🔥
Same! 24 Ultimate Red
I love it when you say, "Updated, changed up!"
Thanks for taking the time to say that!
i just saw a hyundai in a parking lot, and it was on FIRE.
@@dark6c159terrible joke 🤣
I have a Veloster N with DCT. No other car has brought so much joy and excitement since my 1984 GTI. I could care less about the hard plastics.
Hey Joe you actually sold me on The Elantra N I believe you really enjoyed driving it! The Wife wants to visit a HYUNDAI Dealership now thanks 😂
Dude really,really enjoyed driving it
I was like…no way the NGS has to cool down from spamming it
I did the initial inspection on that car! It was a great time getting to meet you! Been subscribed since Covid
Thanks to your videos I now find myself having to fight the urge to randomly go “ON THROTTLE HERE WE GO” whenever I drive somewhere.
I fly a 737 for a major airline. Right before I push the TOGA buttons for takeoff I want to say “On throttle-Here we go!”
That's so funny @@516589
@@516589I hope to be on your flight one day. Fly safe!
Probably one of my favorite reviews of this car so far😅you made it actually enjoyable and feel as though I was driving it! Come September I’ll be trying to find myself one🙏🏻
That is so wonderful that I could share it with you! You will love this car!
I bought this exact spec/color two weeks ago, absolutely in love with the car.
Traded in my Integra A-Spec for the 24 Elantra N 6MT and loving every single minute with it!!
I saw this 57 seconds after it was posted. Should I comment before I even watch? Oh yeah. I'm watching waiting for zonks and how many food items I can fit in the door panels! On throttle!
Thanks for being so freaking supportive!
Couple things - that is definitely ambient lighting across the dash! You can customize the colors in the settings. Also - the red brace in the trunk is removable!
still loving my 2022 elantra n more every single day.
Never driven a Hyundai but always impressed with how their vehicles look for the money.
hyundai KIA cars are always Look great, drive OK, nightmare to own.
I have a 2020 kia forte GT and haven’t had a single issue and drives great. I thought I hated Kia and then drove the forte GT and it was better than anything else hands down. I’ve convinced 5 people to drive the car and they all bought one. Kia/hyundai isn’t what it used to be
Leased a Manual Forte GT and now a K5 GT. No complaints so far
Do not buy kia or hyundai. They will BOOM 💣💣💥💥
@@fffwe3876 Lies.
"I didn't eat my rice krispies this morning, so I wanna hear some pops and bangs."
Joe ur hilarious 😂
I love the geometric design that’s what makes the car have character!
Right! Even if you don't love it at least it is a differentiator from a lot of the bland car designs out there.
Absolutely. It was one of the many, many reasons I chose my 22 EN. It's a love-hate design all around, and I love it.
@@C_Santiago7 same, my friend!
It looks like a Lamborghini, in my opinion.
Only haters or honda boys say it's an ugly car lol literally everyone that's seen or been in my 22 EN tell me it's a beautiful car
I have the 24' DCT and let me tell you this car is a blast!
Coming from an S2000, absolutely love my Elantra N.
That’s so awesome to hear Jason!
I’d personally buy an S2000 over an Elantra N, just because it’s one of my dream cars. What color was yours?
you dont know what you are getting into.
😂😂😂😂
@@ellishoke1693I had an AP1 S2000 back in 2003. It was lots of fun, But having to ring it out to 9kRPM every time you wanted any power was a little tiresome. Absolutely zero low end torque. Very reminiscent of the OG integra type R, but a roadster version of it. I had it as my daily for almost a year until it was stolen living in key West Florida.
Anyway that thing was a blast, and looked great. People would stop me all the time back then wondering if it was a Porsche lol or what it was?... Mine was Silverstone metallic with red leather. Such a shame it was stolen SMH
@@Daveyboy_GolfR See that’s what I like about the car though, you actually gotta DRIVE it to feel the power and the Vtec, it doesn’t have to be powerful, but it looks incredible, and I just know I gotta pick one up someday, they don’t make cars like this anymore, it’s become and truly pure and special Honda, my personal favorite other then the NSX.
Hi Joe. I have an Elantra N in this exact spec. I've only ever driven SUVs before this and had never had the opportunity to enjoy owning a sports car. The Elantra is by far the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel. Such an amazing vehicle! Thanks for your work on these videos.
Great job man! Congrats!
I have a 23 Elantra N DCT Performance Blue. If you haven’t driven these cars you need too! Took mine to the tail of the dragon and back of the dragon and ripped the hills! Everytime I drive this car it puts a smile on my face. Great video! Keep up the good work! Been a long time subscriber
That's awesome. I am dying to go back to the Tail of the Dragon
As a car enthusiast I have this car on my list of cars I would like to joy ride in, I mean test drive with a manual transmission to see how big of a grin it gives me.
My 2005 WRX already puts a grin on my face.
The lighting strip is Ambient lighting. You can adjust the color to match the drive mode it’s on in the settings
Agree. This is a great car, especially for the price!
Might not be better but this car offers a lot for the price.
Tell me about it Omar
thats how they get you.
@@tocreatee5736 Ok 👌🏻 I'm next then
This car is better than a type R/S , it's faster in a straight line and around the track if you octane learn it paired with the DCT. Its a no brainer, you're paying ridiculous money for just a name
no N is better for sure
Been sitting on the EN until this video dropped that’s all I needed 🔥
That's the power of marketing for you
Do it you won't regret it at all
Nothing beat the looks of the "Integra type s".Sup Joe & Lori y'all keep up the amazing work you do bringing your viewers awesome content.
Love the videos Mr. Raiti!
Thanks Mark for being so supportive!
Hi Joe, I do love the new Hyundai Elantra N & I think this is a great great car.
That is so wonderful to hear Luis!
@@RaitisRides Thanks for the video.
@@LuisUrbietaof course my friend!
@@RaitisRides Will you do a review on a Maybach S680?
I can't believe Joe actually got his aluminum dead pedal...
I know right! FINALLY
The red calipers and red trim accent the gorgeous wheels nicely.
Great to hear you Joe have a good time, I know I love my Elantra N 2024! This car is very scarce right now and no dealership is doing any trades with other dealers, so there is mission to find it. However the price is great, dealers sell at Market Value which is a ridiculous $7k mark up above MSRP, but a lil negotiation goes far. Very excited to tune my N these new few months:)
Great stuff as always. I have the 2023 model and love it. Was keen to see what the 2024 model is like.
FYI, the blue light strip you spoke about is ambient lighting and you can change the colour if you want, at least in the model I have. And in Australia we have leather seats. No N light, but they are ventilated.
As mentioned, it’s a great car for the cost.
I would say its not better. But im picking the N everyday or the week.
It’s a nicely designed interior. I think doing a soft touch injection molded plastic on the top of the doors for a softer feel and a leather-ette material on the armrest and dash would have went a long way to make the interior a bit nicer. I think enthusiasts would pay an extra couple hundred dollars for these features if need be. Scrap the “oh crap handle as well, and offer at least electronic adjustments for the drivers seat.
Absolutely love the Elantra N but would never take one over a Type-S if they were the same price. However, the Elantra N is almost $20k cheaper.
You are so right about that Anthony
I watch four videos were people had traded in there 21/22 type r’s for 24 N’s…….
@@nickclashez A Type R is not a Type S. They probably had to free up some cash flow.
Type S is terrible value when you could get an M340i with the B58.
@@paulklp8262 might want to read my comment again. Maybe you missed the "if they were the same price" part
Wish that the piano black zonk piece sticking out left of the digital cluster was actually a mini display showing racing info like torque, g force, coolant/oil temp and else. Would have been so cool and quite practical because there were so much info and data in Elantra N you can access. I didn't like that I kept switching back and forth on the digital cluster to view specific info
Joe! Great review. You helped me decide and I just got the Manual Transmission Elantra N. It doesn't have a sunroof and I don't care! No need for a sunroof when you're busy having an absolute BLAST driving the 6 speed Elantra N! Best car I've ever owned. Amazing feel, amazing drive, amazing everything you get for a great price. This car is fantastic.
Would you say that the 2024 EN exhaust pops and bangs have been decreased including volume compared to the previous 2023 EN. Great video like always
No.
Source: I own the 24 N.
I feel like the Integra Type S has the looks and performance, but the price just like the Civic Type R kills it. Hyundai is the best bargain, plus you get a sunroof and a great warranty.
They're still asking 10-20k over msrp for the R and S over here in my area... 😂
A sunroof is actually something that lowers performance during hard cornering as it makes a car more top heavy. Why do you think carbon fiber roofs make a difference at the track.
And good look trying to get Hyundai to honer the warranty without a hassle.
Got that same spec a couple days ago, I love it!
Went out and bought the ‘22 after your screaming and laughing on throttle that year. Tons of fun. Thanks Joe!
Excellent review Joe.
Love the new first person view!!!
Hyundai design wise has just evolved so much😮 Who’d have thought? ❤
You are so spot on Matt
almost 5 years of veloster N ownership Ive been loving this brand
I just purchased a 24 Elantra n dct in cyber grey over the weekend loving this car it’s so gooood. Also Joe keep in mind Hyundai underrates these from the factory. There’s been plenty of dyno videos showing the car putting down its claimed hp/trq to the tire so the actual hp/trq is more like well…bmw. These also need to be octane learned to give the full 19-20psi otherwise they will only put out 15. The difference is like 40hp so it’s no slouch. When these ideal conditions are met with the dct it’s a very quick car. Next video you review on these take a look at the turbo, it’s massive and has plenty of headroom for aftermarket support.
The real title of this video:
Why would you ever buy an Integra over this?
😂 I see what you did there!
This car is actually bada$$❤❤
I wanna know how long you sat there Joe before you realized you left the heated seat on!!!!!
Yes of course Joe & I will buy this as my daily.
Great video! ❤ WRX, Golf GTI, Elantra N, GR Corolla… big competition there. I think type R and type S are superior, they are at different level.
Yeah, different price level. Performance wise, not much difference.
They Should add a air scoop on the rear of the hood to reduce temperatures and what modifications and tune can you do and how much more hp you can get.
When the gas pedal all he way to the floor, it rolls little bit and then takes off. I guess it's programmed this way for wheel hops, tire slips, and save clutch wear. 2024 EN manual is not like this, but at least they reduced some wheel hops on the manual version.
They upgraded the engine mounts to help with the shaking on launch
@@vroomgc yes, I know that.
DCT is not bad... but I think manual is better for ElaN. Anti theft + more fun
I totally agree. There is nothing like being able to control exactly how much power you want to send through the wheels.
Exhaust sounds just like a Lambo Performante
Awesome rim and tire setup. Blue exterior over red trim looks very nice. Very good stock exhaust setup. Cool and affordable sporty sedan. Is it better than an Integra Type S? Probably not but it isn't bad either.
Joe, it does have ambient lighting!
Looks sharp ! Love the blue / red and it's a decent price. As always on any car get rid of vortex generators. Are they really worth the gimmicky look ? Thanks Joe
Love my Elantra N, biggest zonks are for sure the hard plastics, my elbows are killing me!
Sacrifices have to made for this price point. If they fixed the hard plastics, the car would cost more.
Raiti talking to his phone's lockscreen
This car is from outer space.. IT IS A SPACE SHIP !
Im at 70,000 in my 22 Elantra N DCT and not a single problem just keep up with your maintenance. These cars are solid they aint your 90s-2000s crappy hyundai anymore
Daaaaamn someone was driving!
@@Darylrb1983 uber
no rear arm rest or real cup holders anywhere in the back.....my kids are making such a mess back there 😭
the refresh front end looks really nice. I'm actually thinking about buying one of these in that same color
All it needs is a Superman insignia on the hood 😂
❤ Thank you Joe and Steven!❤
24,000 miles on my 22 Elantra N, and it always puts a smile on my face
Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
The door indentations throw me off. I can't unsee them. Otherwise it's a nice looking car.
The front looks a lot better than before. Don’t appreciate the road hummer blocking bar across the console.
That dead pedal would get a thumbs up from Shaq.
Love your car video
What’s the difference with the other 2024 one you reviewed
Always have to go with a Honda/Acura.
Thanks for your vote Ted!
Comparing it to the ctr wouldve made more sense
Great value, but I bought an integra type s - one of the best cars I have ever driven with incredible manual transmission. Could care less about sunroofs
Same here. I have a 95 Acura LS that came with a sunroof and I hardly use it. I don't even like opening the shade because I don't want the hot sun shining through.
This is my dream car and I pray to one day find one that doesn’t have an insane dealer markup on it
Thank you
The best car. What about the limited version
What limited version?
The website of Hyundai has the 2024 limited version
@@switchipedegames The limited version is limited to the limited trim line.
Oh ok. I wasn't too sure
How come no one talking about going on throttle while in the break in period? 🧐🧐
For real I wouldn't want this one
I've thought about that on every single car review I've seen on YT 🤣 those 10-15 miles on the car are HARD miles. I need my car fresh off the truck. Bare minimum PDI. Leave all the coverings on.
It’ll be fine, I went on throttle N mode pressing NGS with only 6 miles at the time with my 2023 N last year and no issues whatsoever
From a die hard GM performance fan. My Camaro SS 6.2 6 speed is a blast to drive. Loud, big and mean….
This Hyundai really peaks my interest.. it seems like a fun car to just drive. I kinda want one.
You nee to take one for a test drive!
The SS is an amazing car!! I think the EN would be an excellent second car to pair with it. It’s very nimble like the SS but it’s a bit more tossable due to weighing less. The engine is a 4-cylinder instead of V8 but it still sounds great for what it is and the exhaust pops/bangs are ADDICTING. Definitely look into it!!
Bro, Michael did not call you, I can see the Home Screen
N deed Joe, N deed. Rati's #☝️
Like how you put the type s on top…
Raiti’s keeping us on our toes. Never know what he’ll do next. On the sidewalk lol
I've driven both. The Elantra in real world driving feels just as quick as the Acura. However, the Integra Type S felt better around corners, and of course the intangibles are that the Acura has a much better interior, and the build quality of the Acura just feels better. You get what you pay for, and yes even over the Civic Type R. If you just care about a fun to drive car with plenty of tech, and a good every day driver that will always put a smile on your face, the Elantra is a win. But personally I'd pay more for the Integra, also if you're an audiophile, you really can't do much better than the ELS sound system for the money.
I really wish we had that ELS in the Civic. I like everything about the Honda more besides that and the exhaust though
@@vjdfl5You still got the best audio system amongst the sport compacts, and nothing the aftermarket can't fix.
Being built in Japan is also a big point for the CTR.
ITS is built in NA, and a lot of people have gotten ones with misaligned panels and parts.
@DragonKnightX12 true. 0 regrets getting the ctr over its. Especially w the seats.
I don't mind the bass, but vocals and instruments get pretty muddy. But I also wear a set of Focal headphones all day so I think that just makes it sound worse when I get in lol. Will probably swap out the tweeters/ center speaker to start and go from there
@@vjdfl5 JL Audio or Boston acoustic will probably best replicate the sound you get from your focal headphones. In my opinion 😁
Dealers near me want 60k out the door I was born and raised driving Acura and Hondas but for that price absolutely not so many other options out their at that price point I’d consider it 40k ish maybe.
But what about Hyundai reliability over the long haul?
That top of the door panel is hard as a Plastic Rock 😂😂😂
10:35 That is the cars ambient lighting, it can be changed in the settings of the car!
Hyundai is really killing it lately 👏 kudos Hyundai and Kia and Genesis
kia and hyundai are garbage
Imagine, just imagine if Hyundai brings to the US the k3 hatchback that they recently introduced to the Mexican market, now imagine if they bring the N trim (not the N line) Hyundai K3 N. Take my money!
FYI ... A few weeks ago priced a '24 ELantra N 6MT and the dealer (Rosen in Kenosha) wanted $34.6K (N) + $2K (nonsense paint coating) + $0.5K (nonsense door guards) + T/L/Fees (and wouldn't budge on the price) and it was black so gave it a pass for the time being ...
Don't be so beta contact more places 😂
I would take that in a heartbeat. In SoCal they are sold out in most places and the one place that had a few, was marking the base price up to 10k, plus the accessory BS up to 51k total out the door. I told em to get stuffed and they brought it down a bit but still wouldn't go lower than around 44-45k out the door...
Yes, the Elantra N is a better sport sedan than the Integra Type S.
kia and hyundai are garbage
Grest review.. I'd buy this if it didn't burp so loudly.. is there a way to disengage that??
Yes. Three levels of exhaust sounds. Car is extremely customizable. N owner here.
@@boogiedownkid5465 Thanks for sharing that. I don't actually mind the sound of it, just not all the time, or late at night in my neighborhood. Other than that, I think it's a fun sound.
The line under the vents is indeed ambient lighting, and the color can be changed to whatever you want. By default its blue.
Thanks for the heads up Michael!
A chirping tire is a happy tire 😂
