2025 Hyundai Elantra N DCT - Pros & Cons after a Week | DM Review

[@AFatOcelot]

I just picked up a 25 in dark blue and my god it's the best decision of my life. This car is an actual dream. The drive the sound the grip...its all INSANE. I legit feel like im glued to the ground even when running my Michelin ps4s in near freezing temps.... cant imagine what it will be like after the 600 mile break in period and in the heat of the summer.

[@AFatOcelot]

also the automatic is actually LOUDER than the manual, esp with the AC on. It's been well documented by various KZbinrs

[@r3games1985]

Interesting. Mine wheel hops in this cold temp and slips like crazing in the wet.

[@AFatOcelot]

@@r3games1985 well im in the breaking period so im really not going above 4k rpms

[@juanticimo]

Im glad they are still making this car. Its a hell of a value...

[@Jcastro9444]

Got my Elantra N in 2022 brand new DCT auto, my daily driver. Its at 76,000 miles and not one single issue. Best racecar/daily ive owned. Highly recommend if youre on the fence about it

[@r3games1985]

Just got my 2025. Took 2 years just to get a test drive. Well worth the wait. The car is aces.

[@arkadiusw.897]

Merry Christmas brother. This is my next car!

[@r3games1985]

Smart move.

[@oraclemiata845]

My Kona N gets 33+ mpg on the highway in Eco. This motor is all over the place. I’ve seen as bad as 13 when it’s being provoked.

[@Awsme]

Love it in the white, nice contrast

[@rightlanehog3151]

Charlie, Boxing Day is a paid day off in Canada, let me take the opportunity to wish you Happy Holidays. 🥳

[@Khaled-eo9mr]

Not going to lie im honestly stuck between getting this car or the Tesla Model 3 Performance

[@mattpipke5716]

The tesla is far superior, as long as it is a daily not a highway queen or long-distance traveler you will love the Tesla.

[@Symphoniics]

The EN is way more fun and has way more soul. The Model 3 is a way better utility-based daily driver

[@JulezWinnfield]

Who drives with their left hand holding onto the driver side grab handle? My left hand is generally on the steering wheel while my right hand operates the infotainment, HVAC, radio controls, etc.

[@TheUnreadableUser]

Once you've settled it's quite easy to rest your hand on the handle

[@tigerhawk84]

11:51 FYI this is only 5 year/100 000km in Canada for powertrain, which isn't much different from many other manufacturers. Mazda is 5 year/unlimited km for example.

The Elantra N may not be the fastest or the coolest car in its class, but sure as hell is it the most bold. That exhaust is CRAZY

[@timotao72]

I am pretty certain it is the fastest in its class. Speed wise it competes with more expensive cars.

[@r3games1985]

What's cooler in it's class? Civic Si, GTI? I don't think so.

[@psewgobind]

wheel hop only happens in straight line when the LSD locks up both wheel to enhance traction

[@ChristianGuy7000]

For $36,000. Mazda3 turbo hb, golf GTI, AND elelantra N, im decided which one is best value for money.

[@r3games1985]

All great cars and I've owned them new. EN number #1, GTI #2 and Mazda 3 last.

[@ChristianGuy7000]

@r3games1985 I'm not sure I still like the Mazda3, though because of it awd and better interior, have alot better features.

[@psewgobind]

my 2023 EN get 25mpg city. But its 6MT

[@MDEV-86x86]

Better with manual transmission.

[@JulezWinnfield]

So go buy a manual Elantra N for yourself.

[@MDEV-86x86]

@JulezWinnfield Save the manuals if you are an authentic driver !

[@r3games1985]

@@MDEV-86x86 Primitive thinking.

[@mattpipke5716]

@@r3games1985 How so, manual is better, better on gas, better provenance better with Maintenace, it is simply a better option.

[@gladdy02]

Its a shame that this car is so dam overly styled and ugly. If it looked as smooth as the civic, id seriously consder one. Hyundai really needs to rethink thier styling concepts

[@DeathrowDC]

It's just not for you.

[@DaytonasGarden]

I don't mind it. I get what you mean just I see it lined up with some other hyundais and it's under styled compared to other. And I kinda, like it

[@oraclemiata845]

Subjective comment is subjective.

[@mattpipke5716]

Totally agree they are stuck in the 90's with red lines, weird body flares etc.. looking for a kid's hot hatch racer style, when they are trying to sell to 23-year-olds. The civic and integra are more grown up, all the performance without all the adolescent flare.

[@repaleonhalo9754]

100.000 miles isnt exactly something to brag about. I wonder how much of a money pit this becomes after the 10 years.

[@r3games1985]

Why would you own a car for ten years? lol This powertrains been out for years now with no problems.

[@mattpipke5716]

@@r3games1985 I've owned my Silverado for 24 years, my 350z for 17, I keep my cars, which is why I pay a little more for quality when purchasing. The Integra type S is what I chose this time around and yes, it is more expensive, BUT far better in every way. Hyundais are great for 60k miles, after that it is anyones guess.

[@mattpipke5716]

exactly, Hyundai makes a compelling platform, but their QC isn't up to par yet, with Toyota or Honda so after 60k miles you could be in for some expensive life draining issues.

[@blastoi5e]

its still korean

[@thedragon6499]

What does this even supposed to mean 😂

[@fakefake9744]

I hate hearing opinions because all of your cons mean nothing to me. I don’t care about handles, getting in/out of seats, idc about charging my phone while using AppleCar Play. It’s all pointless to me, when are you uploading the pov with NO talking?!
