If paying $10-20k more with dealer markups for attention is your thing, good for you. I'll use my money for brakes and tires to keep getting better on track, where I can pass nearly all TRs and M2s at my local track on a completely stock VN that is still under warranty and never had any powertrain issues, as most TRs I see on track do... 😃

as an owner of Veloster N, the organizer for the N Cup, and a dedicated N parts shop owner, this review is pretty much spot on. Being slightly down on power and traction vs CTR and also the differences between DCT and manual on the track, everything is accurate as always with the videos from Savageese.

Fellow Veloster N owner. Hyundai clearly puts the emphasis on value and fun rather than being the absolute fastest. You can always get something faster on a track for more money, but you really can't get something more fun for the money than the N cars. To me that's what matters; even if I take my N to the track sometime, that's going to be 0.01% of my driving.

Thank you for doing this, guys! I've been entering SCCA Time Trials in an Elantra N DCT (and previously a Veloster N DCT), competing with my Type R owner friends in the Sport 3 class. On track it's very much a driver's race, with each platform having its pros and cons. The FL5/FK8 definitely has a higher performance ceiling, but it costs more to get there, especially factoring in class legal mods. Really appreciate the attention to detail with regards to the utterly stupid Octane Learning process, too.
@shamalabadingdong
@shamalabadingdong 2 ай бұрын
Higher performance ceiling on the fl5 mainly comes down to the tire it can fit. Especially when class rules set max tire sizes based on the OEM size. Yes, if you're doing a 500hp build with 11 inch wheels with aero the fl5 is a better setup for that because the EN maxes out at 265 on 9.5 (type r stock wheel width). However, most enthusiasts are coming no where close to that. In terms of just bolts on, brake pads, and wheels the EN has been kicking the type R's ass at gridlife. Both cars actually make similar power once similarly tuned, and once the fl5 loses the huge power/tire advantage ive noticed anecdotally that the advantage of having an e-lsd is huge. Aka, if you throw 4k of parts at both, I've seen the EN come out ahead more often than not. Gridlife is being dominated by EN's with half the mods of these fl5's

​@shamalabadingdong Also in general modability. The chassis support required for the EN to compete really impede on the daily usability in terms of doing everything. The inability the use folded down seats for more trunk space is a killer. Now imagine you did the same thing to the civic and made it just as "impractical". Even though they are both daily drivers, the civic definitely has more room to grow into a track weapon than the elantra unfortunately. Out of the box though it's a close race

@@sharkscanplay2890 The bar takes 30 seconds to remove. I keep a 10mm socket in my glovebox, it's not a real issue. This argument is backwards imo. The civic comes with back breaking suspension, everyone seems to gloss over that but it's making serious compromises as a daily driver for these stock lap times. In reality, literally everyone will go for the ITS suspension module because the type r's suspension is not realistic. I could make the same argument, and I'd argue ride quality is a way bigger deal than a bar that takes 30 seconds to remove. The EN suspension is way better suited for daily driving and still gets stiff enough to compete on track. Stiffer would be faster, but the EN does fine while preserving driveability.

@@shamalabadingdong I own the fk8 and I test drove the fl5. Outside of R+ mode the suspension isn't an issue. Honestly the literally only daily issue with the civic I've had is how fat them wheels are. Makes buying new rubbers super expensive. However when I'm having fun they are appreciated. You still need to consider the type R has the practicality out of the box and even with removing that beam the type R has far more trunk space. Also as stated that bar adds a whole lot to the chassis tuning so when you do take it out you lose a bit of performance. Again my argument was that the R has more room to grow and makes for a better daily out of the box which it does. I should add suspension is a preference. If you haven't drove one then don't complain about it for sure but you must be on some REALLY bad roads if comfort wasn't enough dampening

As an EN owner, I feel like this video is completely fair and really sums up my feelings about the CTR vs EN debate. If I wanted a track weapon, I would have bought a CTR (and I agree 100% that it is marginally better than the EN in most ways). But the EN has an old school fun aspect that is incredibly satisfying in a daily driver, and that's what my car is. My EN manages to make a trip to Trader Joe's entertaining and I love it for that. Also, considering the difference in sticker price and the dealer markups, for me there's no question the EN was the better choice. I bought it, paid it off in a few months and I can just enjoy it for what it is.

As an Elantra N owner I would agree with all the points in this video. One thing I was surprised wasn’t brought up at all is the CTRs oil temp issues. Been to lots of track days with CTRs present, I’ve spoke with their owners complaining about hitting 145c+ oil temps by the third lap and having to dial it back or come back to the paddock. While I’m out on track driving the EN at 10/10ths for 25-30 minutes at a time and I don’t crack 126c oil temp and experience no brake issues. All while putting down the same track times as CTR guys. So with all things being equal I’d definitely choose the Type R, however the oil temp on the CTR are definitely a deal breaker for me as a track rat. Sure you can install some better oil cooling on the Civic to fix that issue, however for how much more expensive it is I don’t think that’s really excusable. Not hating on the CTR at all, actually really love that car I’m just surprised that a large issue like the oil temps seems to always be omitted on reviews.

Hi, a non brand loyalist here, I know no one cares but here’s a take Competition breeds innovation. innovation can include effective and sensible ways of reducing cost, it can encourage engineers and these car manufacturers to continue to build the cars that we all care about… hey with the flaws of electric finally showing more and more we (hopefully) get another renaissance of car technology. Shit, GR Corolla is now giving Subaru a reason to improve themselves, the type r may be better now but I’m sure some office in Namyang somewhere Hyundai is already drafting up ways where they could be better, these markups gotta go down somehow right? Competition in the car market can do that too Give it time I’m sure something cool is gonna happen, we’re seeing glimpses of it right now

I was cross shopping both of these cars early 2024 and ended up with an FL5. For me both cars would have done the job but the stupid brace in the back on the Elantra, plus not having a split rear seat was the deciding factor. Having a carseat in the back made the trunk space almost unusable for me. Also, every EN I looked at had really bad panel gaps or misalignments. I still love hearing one drive by like I'm at a shooting range but my FL5 still makes me happy every single day.

I think everyone knew this except a few very loud weirdos. I have an N and every other N owner I know knows the CTR is the technically better car, but no one cared enough to spend an extra $10,000 or more to buy a slightly better car. I feel like this is a console war situation where the people fighting don't even own the cars they're fighting about. It becomes a lot more obvious when track stuff is brought up. You see way more N cars on track than CTR. You also see way more CTR with issues on track than N cars. I really don't care if a CTR is half a second faster if it's grinding 2nd gear and overheating after two laps.

You can't argue with the video, it seemed like the CTR was barely breaking a sweat at the EN's limit on the track, with so much more to give. The numbers don't tell the whole story. But that said, the EN is a fantastic little car for the money. My 24 yr old daughter bought one, a '22 8DCT a couple years ago and I've spent a considerable amount of time in it, as a passenger and driver. It has so much character. The engine sounds much better than the CTR, IMO. But there is no denying the CTR has more presence and is the better car. It did look like you were bouncing around an awful lot in it, though...that would get old. The EN has a pretty decent ride, which probably hurts it on the track a little. I guess the argument has finally been settled haha.

0:51 Yeah, I don't know why there was so much complaint with octane learning and whatnot. Like it was 0.1 sec behind the mighty CTR on track with the same tire but different size. That's excellent from a company that doesn't have as much rich racing history like Honda. And not just that but these cars are 4 cyl turbo cars. Eventually, when they both get beaten on and things start to heat up under the hood, it'll start to pull timing. In the end, both cars will make similar power after like 5 min on track. I don't think many people take that into consideration.

@@Scypher0th you don't understand how inflation works. The money is worth less due to the increase in quantity, hence you need more of them. $1 four years ago is now worth ~0.6-0.7 $. It is not because car makers suddenly became greedy (they always were), it is that your paper (or digits) are more useless.

Getting rid if a manual never fixes anything. And yes the Civic is cool and outstandingly engineered but I find it a little soulless and personally I prefer the N. Having said that, I dont know why fanboys have to argue either way really - why cant people just buy what they like and what suits them and not try to justify their choices to everyone else?
