As someone who can’t really mentally justify a 50k post tax price on a Civic Type R, a 38.5k post tax Elantra N really is an unbeatable deal. Especially with the 3 years of free maintenance and 10 year warranty.

And very poor reliability. The Elantra N its well known for its poor quality transmission. Just google it. Poor service , mostly denied warranty claims . You can't enter this vehicle to a car wash because it will damage a sensor that will make the vehicle enters n limp mode. Believe me , hyundai's new vehicles are no longer reliable, same with the sonata N line, poor performance. Transmission issues. They claimed the Sonata N line its an sport car. However the vehicle was never intented for performance . Dont ever get a new hyundai.

I just got my 2024 Hyundai Elantra N with the DCT in Cyber Grey last month (the 26th) and I'm LOVIN IT! I drive mine to work 60 miles one way. On the highway in ECO mode I EASILY get high 30s mpg. 36-38 is VERY possible in this car cruising at 70-75mph. When you put it in N mode it's a completely different car. It becomes very snappy, taught and a blast to drive

How many miles do you get per tank and have you hand calculated the overall mpg for any tank yet?

@johnnyturbo8460 Ай бұрын

@Defy_Convention great question. Yes, that was one of the 1st things I checked as I drove it fairly easy as I did the break-in. Like I mentioned The car in eco mode EASILY gets mid to high 30s (35-38) mpg on the highway without even trying. For that, keep it around 70-75mph. I drive 60 miles one way to work every day on the highway. I do that miles per gallon every day. (Mid to high 30s) In regular mode, it averages 27-30 mph. In N mode, I'm not sure. I never looked, but probably 25ish on the highway. In N Mode, it only goes to 6th gear, keeping the car always in it's power band. Sport mode goes to 7th gear. Regular mode eventually shifts into 8th gear after being 7th for a bit. Eco mode gets to 8th gear asap and holds it. I usually fill it at before it gets to a quarter tank. I can get over 300 miles per tank for sure, but I'm not sure how much over. Probably 330miles per tank is doable, maybe more as long an you are in eco mode on the highway. It does far better than it says on the window sticker, and far better than I expected.

It was sold through GEMA which lead to public misconception of the engine, though already from its development timeline it is quite apparent its a Hyundai's own engine.

"80s cyberpunk vibe", is a good way to put that. I can see it - and yes, I am old enough to remember it! The LSD is great in this car. The torque steer may seem like a flaw, but it actually gives feedback so you know what the car is doing and can connect with it well. The car is amazing and I don't feel any heatsoak with it until the third 20 minute track session of the day. Still, it will take four sessions and no problems. I would not have bought the car if it wasn't so good. It is amazing for a FWD and for under 40k, good luck finding something better. Find me a better steering wheel, infotainment, and seats. Pretty damn good.

Performance blue draws a lot of attention, while other colours blend into the background. Neighbours will know every time you leave and come back from a trip, even in normal mode. 18' tires required for daily, especially with garbage roads from downtown Toronto living. Fuel economy can be surprisingly good for 6MT, but revert to average on its own (that octane learning is highly unpredictable). Drivers seat squeaks when you're wide and heavy. Petro Canada 94 octane is best fuel for this car. When driving aggressively, think of it as a AWD car and try pulling out of the turns early, especially when lift-off causes the nose to tuck in. N mode button becomes your best friend for daily, tap it for instant drama and other N button to go back to normal. Happens so quickly, you can go in and out of N-mode, in a second, while execute some very aggressive maneuver in the city. Observations after 65000 KM of daily with my 2023 6MT Elantra N... I wonder if they'll warranty my squeaky driver seat..it's like having sex on a squeaky mattress.

Buyers BEWARE, We have a 2021 Veloster N. We love it, we've had no mechanical issues. However we have defective Paint, It is well in its legal rights to be repaired but Hyundai refuses to fix it. Even though it's still covered under its 3 year paint warranty AND it hasn't been voided because the cars been under 36,000 miles. We've been fighting them for over a year, and if they won't help you with paint (keep in mind ONLY the hood) GOOD LUCK having them warranty their 10 year 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. Cause your car will be sitting there dead for like 2+ years considering we've fought them for a year on paint. It's such a cool car and it's a shame, If you purchase one don't plan on its warranty. Still, to its credit. We love the car.

Doesn’t need AWD, adds weight, sucks extra power from the engine and the FWD nature of the car adds character. It’s got some torque steering, you gotta drive the car instead of sitting back and mindlessly go forward. Feeling the front wheels load up and grip a corner at the same time is so much fun. AWD ruins that fun. Keep it FWD

@shamalabadingdong Ай бұрын

@@1Solace This car is more tail happy than all of it's awd competitors. So many videos of the elantra N drifting. The wrx and gr corolla come stock as very understeer NPC pedestrian cars. The awd cars at the same price range manage to all be less performant. Yes, a very good awd system's limits are higher, but it's competitors are an open diff awd system in the wrx and a poorly designed/capable awd system in the GR that overheats when you push it. Yes, an awd system with lsd's on both axles is the best. But an open diff awd system is litterally the most economy npc setup possible. It's a fwd setup with a clutch pack e-lsd. That's miles more performance focused than open diff awd cars. Open diff awd is the epitome of understeer and attracting noob car guys like you. If AWD is better in every way, why are the gr corolla and wrx consistently slower on every track? You realize the wrx comes with a drive train ripped straight out of an SUV LMAO. The N gets a specially motorsports derived drive train that has won the last 2 years of TCR and is on a unique N platform. The RnD budgets for the two cars are miles apart

It chips easy and the interior is just hard plastic that scratches easy. Hyundai America ranks last in Customer Service Satisfaction and for good reason. Worst manufacturer to try to get them to honor something. They don't call it America's Most Used Warranty for nothing. Back in 2006 to 2010 a Hyundai was a solid reliable car.
