@@valeriedube3167 my pleasure. I’m always glad anytime somebody gets even the slightest bit of usefulness out of one of my videos. 🤘😎

Thank you, I enjoyed making the video a lot and always love hearing about other people who have it. Enjoy!!

It does for sure. Mainly on deceleration but upshifts with the quick-shifter make a little pop too.

Haha… thanks. Subaru’s CVT has to be the best for fun-ish driving. It downshifts very aggressively under hard braking enhancing the disc brakes performance and upshifts are actually pretty satisfying. For every day driving I like it a lot, especially with my jacked up knees and feet. If only Subaru would give us about a 230 horse turbo engine to go with the Impreza hatchback it would be basically perfect.

Hey, sorry I took so long to respond. I didn't see this for some reason... but yeah. Still on the factory tune and see no reason to change it.

That’s great 😊 there’s just absolutely nothing wrong with being able to hear your car in my opinion

Stainless

Much appreciated, and you said it!! Just a normal guy enjoying his car and I say go for it. The sound definitely makes the drive a lot more interesting.

@@JasonYergin Nice. Thanks for the reply. Your impreza has the 2.5L engine? Trying to find out engine model but not sure it matters much. The Nameless exhast systems come up in a lot of threads and videos for the Subaru's

Exactly!!

CVT

It’s so right for an R7 or MT/FZ-07. So good all around. Even if you're just chillin and cruising around it sounds great but of course if you get on it there's a lot more awesomeness

No way.... LOL nice. What a trip

LOL… you are not wrong.

😊 yessir. I’ve owned the model that came before it, Elantra Sport. It was turbocharged and had 210 after a cold air intake. The N has another 100 hP on that. I wish I had bought it myself, I miss my Elantra. Hyundai is doing it right

That's good for sure. I hope they get it right too. I see a GT in my future, maybe not right away, but one of these days.

I appreciate that, and I won’t lie. The Accord might be your best bet, if that car suits you in more ways. The EN can be just about as much a nice cruiser as it can be a street going race car so the dual personality is pretty nice, but I know I could also really enjoy the 2.0 Accord with that engine in transmission.

It’s just a matter of perspective.

LOL… right? I always tell people I want ALL the motorcycles but I can only afford one at a time so that’s what I’m doing

@@JasonYergin Couldn't of said it better! If I could simply just buy another bike I'd do that hahaha!

@@floyd700 you daggum right

I’m sorry to hear that. It seems like nobody wins when giants like that battle with each other over lawsuits.

I use a Canon EOS R as well as a GoPro Hero 7 and iPhone 13 😎

I’m positive the most EN owners won’t tell you this, but having owned both of them, even though my WRX was an older model, it’s an awesome car. It’s totally legit compared to most of the hot hatchbacks/sedans out there. I think it all comes down to whether you want AWD or not.

You really cannot go wrong with Borla exhausts. I've never once heard a Borla I didn't like. I just happen have a MAPerformance downpipe and midpipe for a Honda 1.5 that I will sell you ridiculously cheap. Of course you'd have to pay shipping but I have been meaning to get around to selling them but they're just sitting brand new in the box with the hardware. Msg me on FB or IG if you're interested 🤘😎

Yeah… I wish I could experience all the cool but the best I can do is experience them one at a time. 😅 I’m sure you will enjoy the hell out of the EN

Absolutely. The power is on a whole other level compared to an non Si 1.5. It's more on par with a Civic Type R, although of course just a little shy in terms of peak output. The consensus seems to be that Hyundai underrated the Elantra N and Kona N power/torque so the official ratings are closer to what they put down at the wheels.

They really are fast, especially with a tune and a couple of bolt-ons. They are almost too much fun 😅

Much appreciated

I really appreciate that. Honestly, I can say I put a ton of work into making this video, so that is very much appreciated. Sometimes I like to say that I want to own all the motorcycles, but since I can’t on them all, I’ll settle for having them one at a time. For sure, I want to enjoy as many different types of riding as possible.

Yeah, it's pretty crazy. I've owned around 20 manual transmission vehicles so it's just not a new fad for me.

I get where you're coming from but a lot of times I feel like there are things I'm missing from the manual. It seems like a pretty sweet car in either transmission

@@JasonYergin by my account the only thing that’s missing is NGS and adaptive cruise control. Ironically both things I would love to have

Honestly since you mention I've heard it used for just kind of taking your time too. Riding within your limits. I guess in a way they might go together AND I appreciate the perspective. Have a good one 😎

Thank you!! 😎 I'm really stoked that you enjoyed it and I really appreciate that

Absolutely, and I couldn't agree more. I knew the dark Intense Blue was the way to go from the first time I saw the different options.

I would say that's a fair statement. I think generally with axle back exhausts you don't have to do any tuning and you won't really see much different in horsepower. But it does sound really good!! 😄 Especially when you combine it with an intake. The one regret I have is I wish I would've just gotten an intake first so I could see how the car sounded with just that. Of course it's easy to take the Nameless muffler off and put the stock one back on but I think driving around for a week or two with just a high flow intake that isn't silenced would have been fun. It's amazing how much deeper the engine sounds with an intake

Right? They really are such great cars in so many ways. I think about those things every time I drive and I try to tell people how cool it is having a car with dual personalities but it seems like some people would have to experience it as their own car to really understand it. I'm not all demandy when it comes to luxury or amenities so to be honest this car is more than nice enough inside to me and in Regular mode, I find it almost serene on a smooth road. The second you hit that N button though, you can very quickly see what the car can do in a corner, in a straight line, and against most of the hot cars in the segment today. I wish every car came with modes like N Performance cars have.

Honestly I think it's a great way to go. Small bikes are just as much fun to me, albeit in a different way. Everything is getting more and more expensive across the board too so it's no surprise to me that less people are buying expensive motorcycles, full size trucks that cost as much as a house, and even partaking in services like going out to eat less.

That’s what I’m talking about, good for you! I want to be able to say the same thing (in a couple of years) and hopefully still be able to put a lot of miles on mine

Right? There’s so many reasons a small displacement motorcycle makes a hell of a lot of sense. Glad to hear you’re enjoying both of your bikes. 🤘😎

Yeah and honestly I don't't blame you. At this point I feel like the only way I'll get another bike in that price range, not just in up-front cost but in ownership as well, is if I get a job paying a LOT more money than I make now. It would be great to have a nice cruiser or touring bike that I can take on longer trips and still have the "mini-bike" for my commute or weekend fun rides but I'm not quite there yet.

I feel that. I drove quite a bit in Southwest Asia, in Europe, and the Middle East and it's a very different world than what most Americans know. Everyone is so entitled and sure they know how the world works but nope!! 😄

Yeah, that is so well said it's kind hard to even add anything to it. I agree on all of it and think it's funny how much supersport bikes, liter sized and bigger, are a lot like full sized pickups trucks. Something like 80-90% of people who have them don't even come close to their full potential. Like Zack Courts said, it's a BAD idea to even try to reach a supersports potential on the streets. I can't say that I don't still love a big bike but unless I start making a lot more money I just can't see having one. Spending a huge percentage of my income on a motor bike is not my idea of smart. I have other hobbies that I love but still want to ride from time to time and this little bike is great for just about any kind of riding I can do.
