For what it’s worth, if you care about tracking your HOT SEDAN, I have taken my Elantra N to NCM park in Bowling Green numerous times, bone stock. The car rips ass, does not overheat, does not brake fade on OEM pads, and the chassis balance is fantastic. The front LSD might as well be magic. It doesn’t feel “special” inside like a type R, but when you’re driving it at the limit it sure feels special. I think being able to have that experience straight from the factory is worth commending.

[@jonathanc.gillespie4897]

Let’s be honest. If Hyundai and Kia had cars that lasted 500k miles routinely and were as cheap to repair as a jenga tower, Honda and Toyota guys would still dunk on them. The problem with the Elantra N is the same problem Hyundai and Kia have had forever. People who pay more money for objects are never going to be motivated to believe there may be deals elsewhere.

[@ShaiyanHossain]

hyundai still has yet to shed their reputation of being shitboxes. it took honda and toyota decades to be taken seriously, and only after they made good products that wouldn't rust out so easily

[@kdilla_srt8721]

I’ve owned an 2023 Elantra N for well over a year now and I’m convinced this is the greatest car that “car enthusiasts” want to shit on. It checks off all the boxes and so many people I feel are trying to find any flaw with this car just for the sake of having a critique. This thing is putting up similar performance numbers to my 2007 Chrysler 300 Srt8 when it was still stock. That’s crazy, Hyundai produced a cheap turbo four banger that can hang with what was considered the hellcat of its day. Obviously I’m biased but still I feel some of the flack this car gets from the community is kinda unwarranted.

[@Daveyboy_GolfR]

Being able to individually adjust the aggression settings of The engine, DCT, dampers, steering, exhaust, LSD, and ESC is absolutely fantastic! Your commute to work has a lot of bumpy roads?....put the dampers in comfort, while keeping everything else full aggressive. If you find the steering a little too heavy in sport or sport+ then put in normal setting, without having to put everything else in normal. The only other cars that have versatility like that are $90K+ cars like m4, CT5 V, AMGs, and other high end performance coupes and sedans. The fact that you have 3 separate aggression settings for the electronic limited slip differential is also incredible! And it is really easy to make those adjustments in the infotainment. You just click on the N icon and swipe right And boom you're right on the screen that allows you to adjust each one to your liking. I don't own one of these cars, so I'm not singing it's praises because I have one... But I do want one. Bottom line is, we drive our cars differently in different situations, so to be able to customize the aggression/comfort levels of all those systems is wonderful, Especially in a car that only costs mid-30s. It is the #1 performance bargain of this entire era.

I had a deposit on an Elantra N for almost 3 months. Went to go sign the papers the day that it was delivered, and the dealer tried shafting me on my trade in. Told them to go fly a kite and the VW dealer treated me right. Never even got to drive it.

[@shadowpillar2483]

Hyundai's problem is that their dealership network in the US is their biggest hindrance. My buddy had to fight a kia dealership after someone stole his identity and bought a car illegally with his name. They told him "Well someone has to pay and that will be you." He pointed out they fraudulently sold a car knowing damn well that the person could not be him as they used his driver's license and even the picture in the paperwork had his face, but the woman who bought it claiming to be him was the one who walked out with the keys. They laughed in face and said "Well if you felt like being a cross-dressing f*ggot that day it isn't our fault." It wasn't until he got lawyers and the State AG involved did they drop it and take it off his credit. They knowingly opened a fraudulent loan and tried to stick him with the bill. Their EVs would be more common if the dealers didnt scare off buyers constantly. The local kia/hyundai dealers are notorious for not stocking the things and even going as far as threatening would-be buyers with trespassing if they don't buy what the dealer tells them to buy. Most of the Hyundai's dealers act like sleazy used car salesmen, and given the long term quality of these cars, they may as well be selling used cars. If you were selling these like Saturns and Teslas, people can overlook a lot of issues with the cars. Make the process easy and the cars inexpensive, people overlook things. I'd get an Ioniq 5 N if I knew I could just buy one outright and not do the insane back and forth with a scumbag dealer, if they even stock the damn thing.

@@GTI_Man Sadly it didn't end there. It took him 4 years to clear his name and only because the lady got arrested and caught with tons of stolen IDs during a drug bust. The whole story is even more insane and a complete failure of the system. If someone steals your Identity, even if you inform all the agencies and the police, they will let an identity thief get pretty far as there's money to be made off the victims who will be held liable for the actions of the criminals. The police did not care, and one lieutenant spoke candidly and said "The city makes more money if we don't help you, deal with it." My buddy had to fight parking and traffic tickets for years on a car that was not his, and even had to fight the DMV on removing it from his name as they wanted to collect on the registration. Also somewhat related, always sign off on a release of liability when you sell a car. Even when you do that they will try to stick you with violations and liens the new owner accrues.

Let's just ignore that a second I suppose... Honda hasn't innovated for not just 5 or 6 years... Over 15. Twice as long. They were late to the game with turbos they brought BACK features they had previously used from 20 years ago. What have they done that has shaken up the industry since 2005 be honest with yourself.

The N cars have 4 user-defineable buttons, two star buttons (one on wheel and one below nav) linked to the head unit. The other two are for custom modes. You can hold any of these buttons to define its function in about a second. These custom modes can change every aspect of the car: handling, engine responsiveness, exhaust, and the behavior of the eLSD. You can switch custom modes without touching the screen or even taking your hands off the wheel. You should read the manual sometime.

I've been having trouble describing exactly why endless driving modes and tweaks you can make via screen bother me so much, but it's exactly that. They rob the car of any sense of identity, like it's just making a lame attempt to be everything. Nobody wants to be in a relationship with someone who's entirely dependent on you to decide who they are what their personality should be, that's not healthy. In the same way I want my cars to have a sense of focused purposeful identity. Ifeveryone can drive the same car, fiddle around with options and modes, and come away feeling like they drove entirely different cars, then it's a sad car with an identity crisis and I don't want it.

[@vanitymirrorss]

I mean I'd agree if this wasn't a $30k purchase. The relationship analogy doesn't really make sense from a person to a vehicle. I don't have to pull a loan to be in a relationship nor with a car do I have to consider the nuances of the plentiful differences between people that I have no bearing on. Regardless if I wanted to change those characteristics about them. This thing costs around $30k, the more customizable options I'd say is better, but maybe I am just a person who likes to cultivate my own experience, especially when my money is involved. I see more value in being able to fine tune my experience and am able to change my experience whenever I please.

I agree that the lack of wireless car play is annoying but it’s not a huge deal. My biggest issue with it is that the steering is too sensitive and it doesn’t feel like it grips the road to me

The real ones remember the cut "horrible joke" from the original upload

[@GermanCarGuyMN]

The original joke was terrible, it didn’t even make sense

[@Victor-bl2ge]

So are these things engines still blow up at 30k mi?

I remember back in High School, My friend had a Toyoto Ecco. It was so light that the boys picked it up and put it sideways in a parking space. Fun times.

[@kakuja2977]

As much as it is, and I do in fact own one. (23Abyss Black in DCT) I think you nailed it with the car’s identity. There’s so much customisation that it feels like the car is giving that message “tune me to how you want me to feel and drive”. I will sound biased, but there’s a certain beauty behind it, instead of seeing someone’s vision, you’re crafting a canvas for yourself (sort of). I love my EN and plan to drive her till she grows old (if we get there). Cool review, I personally like how it looks, especially in black cuz that thing looks ANGRY on the road. Love it, don’t regret it 👍

That “guy in California” story has become an urban legend at this point. Whether it actually happened or not is irrelevant, it’s canon now.

wheres the literary theory lesson

[@SamLed1111]

Almost pulled the trigger on one of these (trading in my beloved VW GLI) however the sales experience was so awful (amateur hour) after they obnoxiously low balled me on trade in. Sold my car privately (for 7k more than Hyundai was going to offer me) and took the cash and went to my VW dealer and bought a 24 GLI. Hyundai sucks. Yeah some of their cars are competent and fun but not worth the bullshit

As an Ioniq 5 owner I can attest that the star button is , in fact, the best choice for Android Auto/Carplay. Either of which must be annoyingly hard wired instead of wireless. Honestly I hope this is the kind of thing that could be a software patch later but...I know it won't.

And the fake screen was designed to enrage very small men (with brand-snob complexes) into overlooking a cornucopia of redeeming qualities in an otherwise great performance car and an even greater value in the new car market. Mission accomplished.

The last thing said about that circle is correct-- it is a placeholder like the placeholder for Ford tachometers. In this case, the "sport mode" controller goes there, but with the stick, you don't get sport mode because you don't need it (you can just stay in low gears longer).

why is the instrument cluster pixelated in the beginning of the video

I’ve driven this and the model below in Australia, and sadly the model down isn’t in manual anymore, the 1.6 turbo as a daily is nice, this is just tipping too much to be comfortable every day for me

I think the lil blank plate next to the gauges is purpose built to slap a phone mount onto, which I kinda love the idea of.

9:56 btw Hyundai announced they're going to sell a limited amount of N Vision 74s to be released alongside the Genesis X Coupe/Convertible. Korean news is saying it's been upgraded to have 800 hp for the production model.

Hyundai Elantra N: The official car of Negachin

[@courageogbebor493]

I was a little nervous of how this one would go but I have had mine for a year and I'm in agreement with pretty much everything said! Only thing is that yes, you can flip between open and closed exhaust by saving two custom modes to the N buttons.

[@devinlee3501]

This is the best car review ive ever seen😂😂😂😂

[@Jazzmaster1992]

I guess I never really sat back and thought about the simultaneous development of the N line cars, Kia EVs, and Genesis as a luxury brand. They're fighting on multiple fronts, and I'm not sure they're winning yet, but they're definitely putting up a fight.

[@AndrewTheRadarMan]

Pretty confident the dummy screen on the left is side view camera in other markets

[@Brenfield]

Wait... Where did *the joke* go?

[@mushijian7839]

Another funny thing about Hyundai is that we thinking to buy to my lovely mother a Casper model. Which is, just like in 90's Japan, suppoused to be a cool and cheap SUV for youngsters who likes surfing, but instead it's just good looking and practical car for old people, which you can park in spot for a city car.

[@sentiencepsn2714]

Hear me out, maybe it’s just a guide for where to mount one of those suction pod phone holders.

[@henryd1981]

15:28 I found the reddit post regarding the guy in CA with that Elantra N, and Hyundai actually bought it back from the guy. He said they offered him an amount equal to the OTD price.

[@spiderjerusalem1019]

Recent Hyundais have a really nice designs. The Elantra is probably tied to the Integra/Civic as my favourite looking Compact Sedan. Luc Donckerwolke still has the touch.

[@mikecronis]

Great review! I believe the American consciousness remembers the Hyundais and KIAs of old, like Nissan has ruined currently due to issues and unreliability.

[@awpcentral1900]

Love that they finally covered at least one Hyundai n offerings. Been hoping that they would cover the Veloster N eventually but oh well.

[@hapazaz]

I miss mine so much. Out of all the cars I've owned and/or driven, I have to say it's hands down the best all around mix of functionality, fun, and comfort, at a reasonable price.

[@ShaiyanHossain]

why did you get rid of it and what replaced it?

[@hapazaz]

@ShaiyanHossain my DCT sprung a leak exactly 1 month after I drove it off the lot. Car sat at the dealership for 53 days until it was fixed, at which point I had already motioned for a buyback at the 30 days mark. What drove me to have a buyback completed was a major change in my daily commute which included bumper to bumper traffic for 30 miles in each direction, so I replaced it with the biggest sin of all, an EV (Kia EV6 to be exact)

[@ShaiyanHossain]

@@hapazaz yeah that sounds pretty annoying, I wouldn't blame you. It wasn't part of a recall was it?

[@hapazaz]

@@ShaiyanHossain not that I'm aware. It was a leak of some sort of accumulator within the transmission housing, which apparently was not replaceable on its own, so a whole new transmission was necessary and I wasn't really fond of the idea of a 1 month old vehicle needing such an invasive treatment already.

[@hapazaz]

@ShaiyanHossain also worth noting, the car was never tracked or AutoX'd, it had 2400 miles, of which ~800 were just from my drive back home from buying it 2 states over. The car had spent more time at the dealership than it did on the road during my 3 month total ownership
