Tips from a Pro GLI Owner. Number 1. Use Custom mode, set everything to sport, except engine sound. This gives you sport mode without the fake sounds. You can also adjust suspension to comfort, if you want to feel less road. Number 2. Use custom mode for spirited driving, always have it on S mode. But before you come to complete stops, go back to D, the auto downshift from 2nd to 1st is janky. Number 3. If you really want to do pulls, hold the traction control button for 3-5 secs, puts it in sport ESC. Computer doesn’t hold back any power this way. Number 4. USE YOUR PADDLESHIFTERS. Coasting in 2nd gives you on demand power. The paddle shift are instant, zero delays. Whenever I need to pass on a 60 roll I just drop 2-3 gears and I’m gone. Number 5. Utilize your stock wheels until it’s time to replace, they’re horrible but might as well not waste them. Get higher quality sticky tires. Number 6. All you need is a new intake and tune, now you basically have another 100hp. The N is a clown cart, we all know that, people with proper knowledge about cars know that. You're in better hands with the GLI, even more if you're willing to invest for a stage 2 or 3.

EN is more focused on hardcore track machine like Honda's Type-R. Chassis stiffening and bracing, track brakes, track tuned suspension, and E-LSD. It's just as planted in the road or track as the Honda. N mode has anti-lag, keeps the turbo spooling so you always got boost out of corners. As far as FWD cars it only lags behind the Type-R in lap times. Which is still impressive considering Honda has had decades to perfect the CTR setup, and now it's a $10k price difference.

[@nicholasbabeaux2052]

I’m a big fan of both of these cars, Hyundai and Kia does make some interesting lighting decisions however. Kia and Hyundai have become so obsessed with unique and most of the time beautiful LED lighting, whether it be the headlights or the tail lights or ambient lighting. However even the most expensive Elantra does not come with LED front turn signals, first thing I noticed was this Elantra has LED bulbs installed instead of the stock halogen Ambers in the front lol. Of course other companies do it as well, but for example the refreshed 2023 Telluride and Palisade both just over $50k have halogen license plate bulbs, easily rectifiable but still it’s weird….

[@ohdeeaar]

There are mercedes, audis and even bmw that don’t get full leds and they are far more expensive ! There’s even 50k audis that don’t have push to start so idk why you complaining about leds when you can buy them for less than 50 bucks for everything!

To be fair on the GLI, IE isn’t the best tune. APR EQT all are 300+HP. Was he using manual mode on roll? Cause automatic mode isn’t designed well for the GLI

[@PapiAndrey]

He has to have the low torque file to make that much power, ie tunes are pretty weak. Cobb ots tunes are just as quick 😂 He also didn’t have a dsg tune so he doesn’t get to truly use all of the power the tune gives him.

The real problem is GLI dint use Paddle shifters. The N is designed to maximize speed on automatic sport mode. The GLI is NOT. The only way to get the most out of the GLI on a roll is paddle shifters
