I test drove an EN yesterday and was very surprised at the overall quality & comfort of the interior. It's something that just cannot be conveyed over a video. Was expecting the ride and seats to be uncomfortably stiff. Especially after driving the GTI and WRX, my expectations for the EN were pretty low. To tell the truth, I couldn't believe how well it handled bumps on the road. Also, the seat comfort (both front and back) was extremely good. Would highly recommend anyone looking into cars around this price range to sit in, and drive all the options.

[@hunped9890]

Also, overall quality of the buttons on the dash and steering wheel had a quality feel to them.

A lower motor mount completely removes wheel hop entirely. The factory one is basically a rubber band to lower NVH and it causes the motor to shake which moves the trans and let's the wheels move forward and back as the axle moves. A lower motor mount removes this and the car just spins flat instead.

[@cindysue5474]

In my Kona N that was the first thing I replaced Sixth engineering motor mount day night difference.

Another option is replacing the rubber bushings rather than the entire mount. A harder bushing material significantly reduces wheel hop but still dampens the more extreme vibrations. The stiff motor mounts are great, but day to day driving starts to get a little less comfortable

However in the Kia K5 GT vs Elantra N video the Elantra N won easily (which I found bogus) In the Sonata N Line vs GTI (vs WRX) video the GTI won and you saw the amount of negative comments the Sonata N Line driver copped. This is why I feel your videos aren’t trustworthy results & everything seems all over the place, you need better more proffessional drivers or someone who knows how to shift a car at the right rpm, alot of the drivers in your videos are amatuers, surely you have the budget now to hire someone to race.

Probably due to the weather conditions when the races were done. Turbocharged cars are more effected by temperature then N/A cars.

I raced a challenger RT from a dig and I pulled quite a bit after my car finally gripped, im tuned to about 320whp. Funny thing when we got back to the light the guy asked me what engine was on my car and he didn’t believe me when I said it’s just a 4 cylinder.

[@n-power-automotive]

Great race! I was honestly surprised the Charger won the majority of the races. As a current N owner and former modded 5.7 R/T owner, I thought the N would pull on it, but not the case. I think while the launch control is fun and a cool feature, it’s actually not as good as just a brake boost and slow lift off the brake to avoid the wheel hop, which kills the 60 ft for the N. The roll race I thought ok now no launch issues but that still didn’t go as I thought it would. Maybe heat soak? IDK. Either way, it was close each time and they’re both really great performance values.

If they actually launched the N properly it would have beat the charger every time. I've learned to do quicker runs without launch control. That charger sounds sick though.

[@darryltaylor8708]

@@slimv3.162 100% agree with you

[@n-power-automotive]

@revving_four yes, I watched the whole video. The N got beat in both races from a dig (race 2 was super close but it looked like the Charger just barely held him off to the finish line) and the N got beat in 1 of the 2 roll races. If my math is correct, that’s Charger 3 to Elantra N 1. There’s not much weight to saying it’s all lack of driving ability when it comes to mashing the pedal in a roll race, so all these “Sam is a bad driver” excuses are just that, excuses. Believe me, as an N owner I was pulling for the N, but there’s no denying the results. At the end of the day they’re both very close in real world performance.
