@@JackalPR I’m sorry it took so long😅 thanks for sticking around!

@@Woogzzzie aye congrats! What color did you get?

@@auto_joe got the cyber grey!

@@Woogzzzie i love that color! I think my top choice is the performance blue but thats a close second. The first N I ever saw in person was in cyber grey and I absolutely lost my mind haha. my dealer let me rev it in the showroom and I almost walked out with it but my girlfriend reeled me back

Thank you! Comments like this are why I do what I do. I really appreciate it. Best of luck with your purchase!

Thank you! As far as pronunciation it’s hard to break old habits but I’m working on it 😅

@@auto_joe You've got it. Awesome ride and keep them uploading coming! Would be great to see you upgrade to an Elantra N in the future... You're super knowledgeable

@@alex99398 haha I just showed that to my wife, time to upgrade! I appreciate it😎

@@SeudXe haha thank you I appreciate the comments. People who don’t know cars either are fascinated with the color of mine or ask if it’s an EV😅 I haven’t had a lot of people mistake my car for the EN besides a few commenters

@@auto_joe Oh wow ive never heard the EV one XD thats funny. I rarely get compliments but when I do they say they like my N-line. Im like omg not this again lol. Lookin forward to whichever car u choose in the future bro

@@SeudXe much appreciated! I’m still leaning towards a performance blue EN DCT pre facelift car but we’ll see. I also want to buy a manual transmission car to drive on the weekends but I already hear my wallet yelling at me. How are you liking your Elantra N? What color did you get?

@@auto_joe Cyber grey DCT pre face. If you want the quickest version it has to be Auto trans its really fast at shifting and it has 10 more hp than manual which does make a difference. Outpaced friend who has manual version. Unless you are mainly going for manual funzies which I get. Great daily car its almost 20k miles I drive it a lil too much tbh lol. I love the Performance Blue EN the color gets a lot of attention! Wish that was available for me I woulda got it. Never had any issues that other EN owners had about knock sensors going out due to car washes. Theres supposed to be a recall soon for the high pressure fuel pump. I never noticed anything atm tho.

@@auto_joe Also you really gotta be careful with this car cuz its a cop magnet they pulled me over so many times for the noise and speed its hard not to go fast in it XD

Yeah I’m hoping another manual isn’t killed. VW announced recently that they’re getting rid of theirs for the GTI. I believe you can get an Elantra N preowned with the warranty transferred over but I’m not entirely sure. I’m aiming to get a pre facelift N in the performance blue. Not sure if I’m going DCT or manual yet. Thank you for all the support, you all motivate me to keep going 😎

@@danielhopkins98 awesome, what color did you get?

Haha it’s very tempting

@@devonaudibert1459 that’s awesome, Devon! What color did you get and what sort of issues have you been having?

@@auto_joe I have the intense blue with the dct, my horn also went out a while back but i’ve had an issue with water getting through the door seals. i also go to nashua hyundai and they havnt been able to fix my issue

@@devonaudibert1459 that’s very interesting, you’ve been having issue with the door seals. My mother actually had that same issue with her Nissan Sentra, and her doors freeze up in the winter. Not fun to get stuck inside your car lol. Intense blue is a very nice color! I personally favor the performance blue out of the options but I think the car looks great in all of them.

@@devonaudibert1459 also really cool to see that you are local! I’m sure I’ve seen you around as I’m always looking out for Elantra N’s on the road.

@@auto_joe i agree but wasn’t easy to find the perf blue or gray in the area! it grew on me in person

Would you still keep the Kona? I definitely think you'd enjoy the lower center of gravity the EN has to offer over the Kona. I actually did enjoy the drive I took in a Kona N as well though.

I’d love a pre facelift performance blue EN

@auto_joe That is a sick colour, and if it was an N with the red strip would look even cleaner.

@@matthewr.33 Im on the search for a good deal for one!

Woohoo! Thanks for waiting 😎

Agreed! I’m lucky to have gotten that because now that I’m getting back to the market I’m seeing how quite unaffordable cars have become in the last few years

@@auto_joe most definitely! Happy that your car is still going strong! 💪

Yeah I think with the current parts available, the N is the best bet. The Elantra N Line isn’t get anywhere near those power numbers and the N gets more aftermarket support already

@@auto_joeyeah I feel that because I’m trying to make a lot of power out of my N-Line and it’s been hard to find the parts to do so for now. Aftermarket support for these cars is getting better though.

@@Blucifer-KI’m just waiting for someone to engine swap theirs haha. Maybe a N motor or a 2JZ if it’ll fit

@@2012Ajit thank you! My continental DSW06+’s aren’t the most quiet tire but using GoPro audio and no music on will make it sound worse. Forte is a noticeably smaller car than the Elantra cabin wise. You notice it most in the rear seats and drivers seat. I know they’ve since upgraded to a powered drivers seat but the one I drove the manual seat didn’t adjust in small enough increments where I could find a good place for my back. The costs for both of these cars has come up. I was priced a Forte GT at $19.5k in 2021. They both come with some added features that the 21 models don’t have though.

Haha congratulations! What color did you get?Glad I could help with the purchase😉. Honestly I think the best way to go about it is to get snow tires. I haven’t had them for this car, mostly because I don’t have a place to store a 2nd set of tires but I’d go Blizzaks. The Hankook all seasons that came with my DCT N line were pretty bad in snow but my continental DSW06+’s are a good all around, all-season tire. If you buy snow tires you can wear out your all seasons or sell them and get a set of summer tires.

@@auto_joe thanks for your reply, I got the abyss black

About to make the purchase myself

@@fleetleader1013 I love mine, dct transmission a little different but fast , nice solid car ,had a emergency braking to avoid a car, brakes never locked up, steering was possible ,good luck

I had a 2012 sonata before this car, I think the new sonata N Line looks great but it’s too big of a car for me. My Elantra is the perfect sedan size

@@auto_joe True true. An elantra n would be a great upgrade honestly. A mazda3 turbo would be worth a look too if you wanted something quicker that’s still comfortable to commute in

@@joshmauck7487 if I’m going to buy soon, an Elantra N is hard to pass up. I think I’d get a pre facelift one, hopefully in performance blue

@@auto_joe I fully support that. Dct or manual?

@@joshmauck7487 likely DCT but I’m still unsure which way I want to go

When I was buying, the Forte GT had next to nothing. No power front seats, nothing in the rear, overall felt like a cheaper interior. And the elantra offers more cabin room by some small margins. I haven't been inside a 2024 model of either so I can't really compare the two. I know the elantra n line also got some added features such as a new digital dash, usb inputs for the rear passengers, etc. The MSRP also went up though. My car was $23k, the MSRP for the new n line is $28k USD.

I will say you get a little sore after a 3 hour highway drive. But the performance alone it's worth it.

The lunging? Did you try normal mode

@auto_joe yeah as soon as I press the garage button I press the drive mode button too lol

Haha I love the passion. I’m still weighing my options but likely going Elantra N

Really what issues were you having with the Type R? I thought Itd be more reliable than Hyundai lol

Sure because the car is shifting less. But honestly, I don’t think that will make a huge difference. The only thing that truly matters is that you are using the engines momentum and not creeping forward. If you just let your foot off the brake and not use throttle you will ride the clutch. I would rather keep the car in second gear, as long as possible, rather than staying in first because of how short that gear is.

@@mgmd.324 an ELANTRA N-line will get you better gas mileage, and 4d backseats, Veloster N will get you better performance, and a hatchback. Mostly, it’s personal preference, but you also have to factor in cost and current miles on the cars you are comparing

@@auto_joe i honestly like the look of elantra more the volester but the sound and preformance of volester is what get me stuck between them two, but im leaning towards the n line more, i think a muffler delete and air intake is enough to make me enjoy the sound of it with a pop tune

@@mgmd.324 yeah you’ll be able to find a nice new or preowned one that you can mod. Best of luck!

I would go for the Veloster N but its definitely a bit more dated and loud compared to the N Line. Velosters much more fun if you’re gonna go spirited driving.

After the trial period is over, it is available for $99/year or $9.90/month.

Just bought a 24 Kona n line . Is that the same deal on it ; 3 years free n then they hammer you ?

@@user-pr2kq1bk4w yeah well they just take the blue link away until you pay. I can’t start my car from the app anymore

If you have no kids and the interest rates are low, go for the new. I've owned both, the 2024 puts the power down better.

Honestly, I can’t remember at the moment, but I have done every maintenance item recommended by the manufacturer. I don’t do any of my own maintenance, my dealer does it

@@logmeinhere this car is an Elantra N Line, which has 201 horsepower

I would like that! It’s too bad they already updated both cars

I greatly appreciate your comment, but I actually think the opposite. I believe having trim names helps set them apart. It took me months to get my girlfriend to understand the differences between the trims at BMW. The brand new M sport cars now even come with lone M badges on the front grille, I.E. the x3m40i has one. The M brand continues to dilute itself as they make lower entry point cars with M badging all over the place.

Good choice!😎

I do. Still feel like the car could use more power

@auto_joe would be nice if they could have gotten like 220hp out of the engine. I use Shell 91 ( it's the highest octane I can get) and I find it makes a difference too.

@@auto_joeThe EN has just the right amount of passing power. Sounds like its for you

@@SeudXe I’m just waiting for the 23’s to not be at MSRP with 20-30k miles on them. The financing rates aren’t great either but we’ll get there!

@@auto_joe really? I see many used ENs in my area for $30k less than 10k miles.

@@timothycordial1248 I would hope so! I drove the Kona N and I didn’t notice the shifts being any quicker but the Grin shift mode was cool

@@auto_joe it’s 8 gears instead of 7.. and I promise you it’s much quicker in the kN . It’s a lot stronger.

Yeah they have gone up but they've also added some more luxury options such as a bigger infotainment screen, digital dash, etc. My advice would be to compare options and see if it's worth the difference in price to you. In my opinion, the 21 N Line's are well equipped enough. The only thing I have ever desired for in this car is adaptive cruise control which isn't a deal breaker for me. I would also ask the dealer about warranty for the 2021 car. Does the manufacturer warranty carry over to the 2nd owner or do they provide one for the car at all? You shouldn't have any major issues but it's a nice thing to have just incase.

lol
