I’m trading in my Hyundai Kona N…

[@CaliforniaKonaN]

Ah end of an ERA! Sad to see the KN go but can't wait to see the EN build!

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@CaliforniaKonaN thanks bro 😎

[@DarkMikaruX]

What's up fam! Looks like I'll have to catch you with you before you get rid of the Kona. Haven't seen a Kona N up close! Good luck with your hunt!

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@DarkMikaruX hey what’s up, yeah I’ve only seen a handful of Kona N’s in person

[@delinois2011]

It's a sign, keep her!

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@delinois2011 maybe so, but I also feel like I’ve had enough signs tell me to get rid of it haha

[@viewsunderscope]

Those are my two choices a 6-speed EN or a KN. I wouldn't have thought twice about purchasing a KN if it were 6-speed. I drove a KN and loved it, but I don't know if I'd be able to live with a dct over a manual. I look forward to seeing what's next on this channel

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@viewsunderscope definitely understandable. I really would love to have a 6 speed EN but the Dct is sooo good, so I wouldn’t be opposed to buying that if the right opportunity comes along

[@klasseact6663]

I thought you were getting a Camaro for sure😋 I'm glad you stood your ground❗️Btw what was the price on that EN🤷‍♂️

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@klasseact6663 haha Camaro would be nice but yeah man that dealer was absurd

[@klasseact6663]

@@RobTheNthusiast surprised they even offered it to anyone with that suspension light on🤷‍♂️....plus you don't want some car modded like that, some stupid kid for sure!

Can't believe you put on 82k so fast. :)

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@kelrog7471 haha yeah, I’ve had it for about 3 years but yeah I drive a lot

[@NBABY-J]

Great choice. Same engine. But these cars are night and day. The cigarette smell alone would have done it for me.. and coil overs on an EN 🫣. You will get you EN ✌🏽

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@NBABY-J yeah man, too many annoyances already with the car. Thanks though, can’t wait to get the EN

[@n-power-automotive]

Too bad that deal didn’t work out, but sometimes these things happen for a reason. You made the right choice. Between the cig smell and the coilovers, you would’ve regretted having to deal with all that on a new-to-you car. Are you only looking pre-owned or would you consider a 2024?

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@n-power-automotive yeah that’s true, would’ve been a bit regret. And yes, unfortunately I’m only considering pre owned , the Hyundai dealers are Low balling me on my trade. I don’t mind getting pre owned if the miles are low for the year model

What a terrible EN owner..how did they think removing the electronic dampening was a good idea for pos coil overs? holy man some ppl i just do not understand lol im glad you did not get the car. Screw that! Next EN hopefully will be urs!

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@multipass1170 lol totally agree, completely insane that they would even do that.

[@klasseact6663]

That's because "more lower guy", he's still around and knows WAAAAAAY more than Ngineers🙄🙄🙄🙄

[@RoxUnlimited]

What’s up brother! I’m the one on IG who totaled his KN recently and has a 24 EN 🥲. Good luck on your hunt for the EN! Hope you can find one in good condition soon!

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@RoxUnlimited hey what’s up, congrats again on the new EN. And thanks man, cant wait

[@RoxUnlimited]

@@RobTheNthusiast yea it’s been awesome. Still miss the Kona a lot though but it’s getting better. I couldn’t imagine putting the car on coils. The car is honestly low enough and if you want lower then go springs. Coils are so expensive and have more drawbacks especially in our cars just for trying to be that low

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@RoxUnlimited agreed man, it makes zero sense to me, the car is honestly the perfect ride height stock.

[@nickclashez]

I just smoked a Elantra N with my 24 Sonata N line

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@nickclashez nice, what Mods do you have?

[@oraclemiata845]

You probably didnt’t but that’s ok too.

[@curt2233]

@@oraclemiata845dude the sonata n line has 290 hp and 311tq. From a roll yes it will take a full N car, it lacks lsd and other full track needs though. So in the long run racing around corners the sonata n line will struggle and by that time on the straights the N will be gone. Without all of the other amenities the sonata N line will struggle to put it down consistently though. Drag race or highway shenanigans it will take a N especially if it’s not octaned learned

[@delasmoo]

I have a question not related to your trade in. When your KN had to get towed, did you request for a flatbed tow truck? Just wondering because the car might get hit on a regular tow truck.

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@delasmoo I did not request for specifically a flatbed but that’s what I was given each time

[@punemax]

Did the downpipe make the car smell?

[@RobTheNthusiast]

@@punemax it has a slight odor on cold start and whenever you do a pull, but in the winter time the smell is pretty strong because of the turbo. But it’s not nearly as bad as a catless car

[@aussiefurbymogwaifan6621]

You got rid of the hot suv? And got another N??
