Haha congratulations! What color did you get?Glad I could help with the purchase😉. Honestly I think the best way to go about it is to get snow tires. I haven’t had them for this car, mostly because I don’t have a place to store a 2nd set of tires but I’d go Blizzaks. The Hankook all seasons that came with my DCT N line were pretty bad in snow but my continental DSW06+’s are a good all around, all-season tire. If you buy snow tires you can wear out your all seasons or sell them and get a set of summer tires.

@@2012Ajit thank you! My continental DSW06+’s aren’t the most quiet tire but using GoPro audio and no music on will make it sound worse. Forte is a noticeably smaller car than the Elantra cabin wise. You notice it most in the rear seats and drivers seat. I know they’ve since upgraded to a powered drivers seat but the one I drove the manual seat didn’t adjust in small enough increments where I could find a good place for my back. The costs for both of these cars has come up. I was priced a Forte GT at $19.5k in 2021. They both come with some added features that the 21 models don’t have though.

I echo your thoughts on quite a bit of that. I agree that the CVtransmission and little four-cylinder really don’t have much to offer.

Sure because the car is shifting less. But honestly, I don’t think that will make a huge difference. The only thing that truly matters is that you are using the engines momentum and not creeping forward. If you just let your foot off the brake and not use throttle you will ride the clutch. I would rather keep the car in second gear, as long as possible, rather than staying in first because of how short that gear is.

Thanks bro!

Thanks goat!

Thanks Justino!

Agreed! I’m lucky to have gotten that because now that I’m getting back to the market I’m seeing how quite unaffordable cars have become in the last few years

@@auto_joe most definitely! Happy that your car is still going strong! 💪

I greatly appreciate your comment, but I actually think the opposite. I believe having trim names helps set them apart. It took me months to get my girlfriend to understand the differences between the trims at BMW. The brand new M sport cars now even come with lone M badges on the front grille, I.E. the x3m40i has one. The M brand continues to dilute itself as they make lower entry point cars with M badging all over the place.

I would like that! It’s too bad they already updated both cars

The lunging? Did you try normal mode

@auto_joe yeah as soon as I press the garage button I press the drive mode button too lol

I do. Still feel like the car could use more power

@auto_joe would be nice if they could have gotten like 220hp out of the engine. I use Shell 91 ( it's the highest octane I can get) and I find it makes a difference too.

I’d love a pre facelift performance blue EN

@auto_joe That is a sick colour, and if it was an N with the red strip would look even cleaner.

@@matthewr.33 Im on the search for a good deal for one!

@@logmeinhere this car is an Elantra N Line, which has 201 horsepower

Yeah I think with the current parts available, the N is the best bet. The Elantra N Line isn’t get anywhere near those power numbers and the N gets more aftermarket support already

@@auto_joeyeah I feel that because I’m trying to make a lot of power out of my N-Line and it’s been hard to find the parts to do so for now. Aftermarket support for these cars is getting better though.

@@Blucifer-KI’m just waiting for someone to engine swap theirs haha. Maybe a N motor or a 2JZ if it’ll fit

Nothings been cut.

It was a fun drive for sure! Whats your dream car?

@@auto_joe I have like 50 dream cars. But the first one that comes to mind is 2019 C7 Grand Sport.

@@vanbarrydillonii966 great choice. I echo the large number of dream cars as well haha. If I had to pick 1, 718 Boxster Spyder

@@bav6shot thank you!

thanks brudda!

@@bostonstrong6 thank you and agreed! Makes me want to open up the wallet 😅

Haha gotta make the M2 proud

Haha I love the passion. I’m still weighing my options but likely going Elantra N

Honestly, I can’t remember at the moment, but I have done every maintenance item recommended by the manufacturer. I don’t do any of my own maintenance, my dealer does it

Yeah they have gone up but they've also added some more luxury options such as a bigger infotainment screen, digital dash, etc. My advice would be to compare options and see if it's worth the difference in price to you. In my opinion, the 21 N Line's are well equipped enough. The only thing I have ever desired for in this car is adaptive cruise control which isn't a deal breaker for me. I would also ask the dealer about warranty for the 2021 car. Does the manufacturer warranty carry over to the 2nd owner or do they provide one for the car at all? You shouldn't have any major issues but it's a nice thing to have just incase.

If you have no kids and the interest rates are low, go for the new. I've owned both, the 2024 puts the power down better.

When I was buying, the Forte GT had next to nothing. No power front seats, nothing in the rear, overall felt like a cheaper interior. And the elantra offers more cabin room by some small margins. I haven't been inside a 2024 model of either so I can't really compare the two. I know the elantra n line also got some added features such as a new digital dash, usb inputs for the rear passengers, etc. The MSRP also went up though. My car was $23k, the MSRP for the new n line is $28k USD.

I will say you get a little sore after a 3 hour highway drive. But the performance alone it's worth it.

lol

Wow they are all over the place! This M4 was spotted in New Hampshire, USA!

@@devonaudibert1459 that’s awesome, Devon! What color did you get and what sort of issues have you been having?

@@auto_joe I have the intense blue with the dct, my horn also went out a while back but i’ve had an issue with water getting through the door seals. i also go to nashua hyundai and they havnt been able to fix my issue

@@devonaudibert1459 that’s very interesting, you’ve been having issue with the door seals. My mother actually had that same issue with her Nissan Sentra, and her doors freeze up in the winter. Not fun to get stuck inside your car lol. Intense blue is a very nice color! I personally favor the performance blue out of the options but I think the car looks great in all of them.

@@devonaudibert1459 also really cool to see that you are local! I’m sure I’ve seen you around as I’m always looking out for Elantra N’s on the road.

@@auto_joe i agree but wasn’t easy to find the perf blue or gray in the area! it grew on me in person

@@Woogzzzie aye congrats! What color did you get?

@@auto_joe got the cyber grey!

@@Woogzzzie i love that color! I think my top choice is the performance blue but thats a close second. The first N I ever saw in person was in cyber grey and I absolutely lost my mind haha. my dealer let me rev it in the showroom and I almost walked out with it but my girlfriend reeled me back

Both fairly quiet for what they are unfortunately

You wouldn’t be wrong in the new IONIQ5 N 😉

like jello? how big are you?

🤣

My feeling exactly haha

If it’s an automatic

That's just new cars

And not all of em

@@jazlynnknightmanual cars don’t have “park” 😂 just delete your comment bud

It didn’t sound like it. This was a DSG for people wondering

ur opinion is shit

🤣🤣🤣

that’s obviously not redline bro it’s a soft limiter

@@JZX_Nate either way it sounds so bad the way he’s revving it lol

Listed above MSRP too 😂😭

Haha it’s very tempting
