It’s insane how much Hyundai has significantly progressed over the years...
Yeah, interesting to see how much Hyundai/Kia has improved after they acquired Germans from Audi and BMW lmao
@@TerrasClip didn't help cadillac much haha
Poaching that BMW lead helped quite a bit
@@paulp8107 Cadillacs problem has always been that they come up with new shit and basically innovate too much and lose their way on making the actual vehicle fantastic
U have to just pray that the engine doesn't catch on fire....
Who’s calling? “And I’M James” 🤣. That just made me spit out my coffee fellas. Congrats
Agreed!
I laughed my ass off too! ! These guys are adorable. Their enthusiasm is just perfect.
Yeah, that was a great touch. So glad there are two hosts to play off each other and do it in a way that recalls the fun of something like Top Gear.
One of the best looking steering wheels I have seen. Same goes for the rear end. Hell of a lot of car for $26k.
But you can buy a much better used car for the same money.
@@jasonk9779 you gotta be kidding. So an used car is better than a zero miles new car with a 5 years warranty? Good logic.
@@startube2788 well pretty much it is...I would rather buy a reliable out of warranty car for way less money than a zero mile dumpster fire.
Zero mile shit car isn’t automatically a better car than a a reliable 50000mile car.
@@mohammadkamran5862 nowadays cars are economical made, and many parts they use are made by same manufacturers (valeo, bosch, denso, delphi, trw, brembo, and so on).
That being said, i would choose a zero miles Elantra any time and not an used car. Except theta 2 engines, Hyundai engines are pretty reliable. In Europe these cars work fine. I'm member of several Hyundai facebook groups and most of the cars from there have from 100k to 2-300k kms and they still work well.
Hyundai problems are with Theta 2 engines, but in Europe they don't sell them, here they mostly sell the 1.6 and 2.0 diesels and the 1.6mpi and 1.6gdi and t-gdi and they seem to be reliable.
@@startube2788 thats good that you’ve had good experiences with Hyundais. Some of the parts may be made by the same manufacturers but the quality control of every company comes down to them.
There’s no way we can say a BMW will come close to Toyota reliability just because they might share some parts made by Bosch.
For example i feel more confident in my 800$ Honda Accord with 300000KM that nothing will happen to the car, than my 12000$ VW Golf at only 130000KM. I know the accord will keep running with just oil changes.
honestly had to LOL when I saw "and I'm James..." on the phone :-)
Friendship goals tbh
@@Paws403 FACTS
I had to go back and check that. lol
Just needs to change the ringtone to James' "Get-in"-helmeted head hitting the A-pillar of the i8.th-cam.com/video/EQ_tzvWMCLs/w-d-xo.html
I literally spit out my food
Thomas and James are the best honestly🔥
**Thomas "and I'm James" are the best honestly
Yes I ship them 😳
I just bought one of these. Have to say it is a PHENOMENAL driver. The handling is excellent and it’s quite quick. Such a fun daily driver. Can’t think of anything better you could buy for the price
How are you liking it after a month? I'm in the market and eyeing this right now. Going to test drive later this week but I'd love to hear about your experience after a month of regular use.
@@gman1080 so far I’m still in love with it. My only regret is that I didn’t get one with a manual transmission. The paddle shifters don’t let you redline which is annoying and the computer will override inputs if you’re at too low/high of an rpm. Thought i would go for automatic for the higher resale value but a manual would have been more fun. I’ve put 2600 miles on it so far in about 2 months (a lot, I know. Made a few road trips) and I haven’t experienced any sort of problems or anything. One thing I will say is that for some reason when you’re accelerating hard from a stop the front wheels will “skip” a little when you shift into 2nd which is a little weird but not too big of a deal. It’s FWD so kind of expected. It truly is a great daily driver and so much fun on the roads. When you text drive one pay attention to the brakes. It has EXCELLENT brakes. The handling is still super smooth as well. I just wish I could make it even quicker! Haha
feels like what the old civic si's were im assuming
@@jeremyickes5699 it's just as good as the civic si is
When Thomas said “Hey Siri” my phone’s Siri actually activated and interrupted my video and I thought it was part of the video and then I got real confused when it just sat there doing nothing for like half a minute.
Mine too
😂😂😂😂😂
For my case, it activated my homepods and my ipad’s siri - i was so confused xD
You know I never thought I would be entertained by an Elantra review
I remember when Hyundai came out with the Elantra Sport in 2017. It's first proper attempt at a sporty compact. I drove one and was blown away by what you got for the money. Props to Hyundai for not giving up on the sport compact segment, and more importantly, not giving up on the manual.
I remember test driving a 2017 blue Elantra Sport (6-speed manual) and bought it and still have it and love it. I still get people who are shocked when I am in 3rd gear at 3000 rpms and then punch it. Mind you, I took a Veloster N for a test drive recently and wow that car has some serious punch and not even in N mode. N mode was a riot.
@@Ronsolo767 I test drove the 6mt Elantra Sport when I had a 2014 Elantra GT - almost pulled the trigger on it that night and I kind of regret not doing it. I have since moved on to the Veloster N, but that Elantra Sport would have been perfect for me at the time, as I was just starting to get into cars and commuting to college. I'm glad you're enjoying your elantra sport. I think the 2017/2018 has been the best looking iteration thus far. I still stare every time I see one, Hyundai just did such a great job with it. The 2019/2020s are OK, and the new N Line isn't bad. The original just looks so clean and understated.
If you're interested, I have tons of N content, such as track footage, autocross and more on my channel
I have had an 18 Elantra sport since 2018. Bought brand new with 10 miles and 58k miles later, it’s been a great car. It’s been tuned since 5k and has been putting down a solid 225whp/265 tq for that time. Can’t wait for the full N to come out so I can upgrade eventually.
@@zacharycropper5532 nice man, that's awesome. Glad you're enjoying it! The Elantra N looks pretty sweet
I still think the 17 and 18 look better and come with well vinyl interior but it was very good. I think the 18 sport had a sunroof as well.
Bought the N-Line here in the us with a manual. Amazing! Love this car. I’m also 6’6 and fit well enough.
Back when I owned a 2001 Hyundai Elantra GLS never could I imagine there would be an Elantra N line 20 years later
And there will be a full "N" Elantra in less than 6 months from now.
The N will be nuts for a car that small
I owned a 2001 Elantra myself, lol. Actually got it in 2004 from a friend. My Chrysler Sebring that I got brand new in 1999 kept breaking down and I needed a car to get me to work. I bought that Elantra with 63,000 miles on it and many years later I gave it to my brother with 170 plus thousand miles on it. Only routine maintenance is all I ever had to get done to that car. It was so hard giving that car to my brother, when something is so reliable for you, you just want to be loyal. So i bought my first new Hyundai in 2007 and been with them ever since.
Just got rid of my 2004 Elentra gls, lasted me over 250,000 trouble free miles. I bought out my 2018 Elentra Sport lease, know how reliable the cars are.
I absolutely love the dual clutch Hyundai/Kia are utilizing. It makes for such a fun experience!
I drove a forte gt yesterday and it put a huge smile on my face lol
"A bit try-hard like any 1.6L turbo.."
Formula 1 wants to know your location
No that's exactly what he's talking about
My first dabble with this channel and I must say that its a welcome change from overblown but no knowledge popular channels. These guys are fun, share important bits honestly.
I’ll say this. What Hyundai and Kia have been doing the past 5-6 years is insane. Not only they make good looking cars with good technology, at the right price... they’re also now luxury. Glad they’re bringing out more performance vehicles. Whoever says “Hyundai is trash”, lives in the early 2000s.
Yeah but the problem is they are the most stolen.
@@DRGON89 they’re actually not the most stolen lol. Fords, Lexuses and Hondas are.
The bmw engineers they bought are visible
My first car was a 2004 Hyundai Elantra GT and when I donated it to a veterans organization it had 267,000 miles on it and was still running fine. Mechanically that thing was bulletproof
This one has been my favorite intro so far. The acting sounded very natural and convincing. And you guys are too funny.
I just watch these for the intro's, they keep getting better and better
Throughly loving the style of these newer Hyundais. Looking sharp. They are doing the right things lately.
It's just incredible... How Hyundai has changed from a boring economy car brand to having high-performance for almost all of their cars like Luxury brands like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes ...
Great intro as always .... Anyway, that shows how good Siri is at recognizing.. Sorry, Apple fanboys
I love seeing these more affordable “sporty” options that are coming out. I personally will never purchase one but they’re cool to see and I would’ve picked one as a starter rig.
4:45: James and his highest note.
High verified youtubers
@@horriblewater7548 which game?
Asimo...?
What are you doing here? you're like a roblox youtuber
What are you doing here?
I bought this car, man i fell in love with it, the transmission is soo fast and the engine pulls really hard for 24k usd you can't beat the performance!!!.
Hey it’s great to hear a real opinion! Tell us more about it! Great on gas?
@@2004cyrus absolutely, im getting 35 mpg combined mostly freeway driving in normal mode, but get this: in sport mode it's a totally different animal!.
"...and I'm James" made me laugh out loud. On top of the awesome reviews and production, this is why you 2 are my favorite car channel. There is always a laugh to be had. thanks guys! Cheers!
"We've got the handle for you to hold on to while I understeer" Had me cracking...
The quality of these videos continue to get better and better....good job @ThrottleHouse! Keep up the excellent work guys.
U guys are my favourite car reviewers
Keep it going ❤❤❤
I loved the "WHUMP!" sound the drivers seat made when James realized it really was manual (unlike the transmission). Thomas' head in hands was great.
you guys are honestly killing the game. great work - love your material
One of the only car review channels that I truly like and enjoy watching.
I just noticed you guys passed Straightpipes in subs. I remember there was a time you were like 200K below them. Quite the achievement.
if i were these other automakers, my biggest fear would by hyundai/kia/genesis. They’re coming for blood.
Yup they definitely are. By burning their owners down and stalling randomly while driving. Definitely hungry for the owners blood.
@@mohammadkamran5862 Any automaker is going to have issues. They’ve only been out since the 70’s but they really didn’t start producing until the early 90’s. Last time i checked any owner with the issue was covered by the warranty and given a rental vehicle to drive if there’s was effected.
@@tristana.8304 yes anyone can have issues. But they don’t spontaneously burst into flames in your parking garage. There was a news report recently here in Canada. Hyundai’s and kias have been catching on fire and suddenly shutting off. And Hyundai have left a lot of people without any help. They were having these recalls for years and Hyundai neglected to fix the issues. They starting to install “early warning” sensors if your car was about to have something serious like that rather than helping people fix their engines. Some people have also been told it’s not gonna be covered because they neglected to change the oil etc. etc. so no they’ve been pretty shitty to customers.
@@mohammadkamran5862 hyundai canada is a whole different story from what i’ve heard. in the US they’re helping anyone they can.
@@tristana.8304 ok yea I suppose that’s where the differences come in as well. Your consumer protection laws are also better than Canada from what I’ve heard so that could’ve played big part for them to take responsibility in the states.
Intros are World Class lately. Love it. ...... Oh, and the phone call from "and I'm James" knocked me off the couch. LMAO! Great content guys.
Half of y’all commenting didn’t even watch the whole video
What's your point?
I saw this comment so I decided to watch the whole video and as it turns out the whole video is still about a Hyundai Elantra as suggested in the title... fuck Elantras.
@@charleschaimkohl do I have to explain it to you like how I do my kid ? 🤯
@@lilnicky131 it’s okay to feel that way
@@lilnicky131 chances you drive a 4-6 year old truck or German “luxury” vehicle.... almost 100%
I live in Maryland (south of Canada in that USA place) & my state is right on the "rain/snow" line during fall-winter-spring. I drive a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta SEL TDI & have been running snow/winter weather tires on this car & cars before it since 2011. Yes, we don't get much snow, but when we do, it throws everything into a tizzy. I, personally, use Bridgestone Blizzak WS-90 on 16 inch steel wheels & mount them on my car when it is 40F (4C) or colder, in my garage. The enhanced safety, traction, stability, & peace of mind are well worth it. Just my two cents. Excellent review as always, gentlemen...
I have to say...the Elantra never really impressed me but this new body and even Sonata’s new body, BOTH are eye catchers, at least for me.
Glad someone else noticed it. I recently rented a 2020 Elantra & was amazed at how much fun I had in it. Very nimble chassis, mean little engine eager to rev all day & great sitting position. Im still very much surprised that I prefer it to driving a G63 & an S5. Can’t wait to test drive this one
"and I'm James!"
I gotta try that😂
"...and we going for a drive" 😂😂😂😂
I genuinely like watching these dudes, always entertaining!
I love Hyundai!! This company continues to advance an suprise everyone including the naysayers; Keep it up Hyundai! 😎
Your subscriber count is going up at a rapid pace , keep pumping out awesome content. You guys deserve it.
"do you need one of these?" after the german pronunciation LOL i love it.
Thank you for being the only auto journalists who actually pronounce Hyundai correctly.
Hyundai is doing great things. I love my new Sonata, but I absolutely agree with your packaging frustration! Same thing for Sonata.... I had my heart set on Sonata N Line for over a year, but it can NOT be had with the luxury bits I really wanted: HUD, 360 cam, cooled seats, etc. Note: in Korea you CAN get all the goodies on the N Line. Such a bummer...
Gentlemen I have a 2007 Elantra 233k miles purchase price 13k, 35mpg. Did not buy for style. Mileage and price were the only two factors. My employer reimbursed me for 100k + miles @ $.55 per mile. They paid for the car 3 time. IT HAS BEEN THE BEST CAR I HAVE OWNED.
“Make sure it’s only interested in Disneyland train line”
Easily a top 5 intro.
I feel like that “and I’M James” bit was added into the skit just for me. 😂 I’m always commenting on how that part of the intro always makes me laugh... you bet your bottom Canadian dollar I double tapped on the left part of the screen to rewind 10 seconds to see that part again.... twice!
Freaking love your guys’ videos. It’s-It’s like, it’s like- your content qualifies to be an actual mini series, on Netflix or some💩. Keep up the amazing work.
Your videos are so entertaining. I look forward to them.
Very excited to see y’all review the new Elantra N
the contact said "and I'm James". best intro yet!
I'm really impressed by the fact that it has a dct
I've heard a lot of 1.6 turbo setup sounds this is probably the best one
my 2017 Hyundai Tucson Sport shares the engine (but tuned differently because it's an SUV so it only makes 185HP) and it even still sounds good.
Nice looking car, looks like a really good value. Your reviews are great as always.
0:05 - That caller ID 😂. Your intros are the best in the biz
These guys are genuinely funny and that adds onto the joyful experience that comes with watching their video’s.
You guys do a great job!! Keep up the great work!
I was getting some holy trinity Top Gear vibes from the editing in this video. Well done
The Elantra N coming out gonna be fire.
yeah hyundai cars catch fire on highway all the time.
@@tocreatee3585 ???
@@tocreatee3585 haven’t seen one.
@@tocreatee3585 true. I had 5 Hyundai’s and 4 of them caught on fire after 5k miles
@@canadianaviator Don’t see why you would buy more than 1 if the first one caught on fire, so I call bs
Speaking of winter tires and driving in Canada: my old 2008 Civic Si sedan NEVER got stuck in the snow with proper winter tires. That LSD was a lifesaver. Almost as good as AWD.
And I'm James is going to be the new 'Doug is the type of guy" comments and I'm here for it
Loved the intro guys
I absolutely hate when companies don’t let you option out the performance version of a car entirely! If I’m willing to spend on performance, then give me an option to also spend on luxury and features
Those who want a sunroof in a full-performance version aren't skilled enough to have an opinion.
@@psewgobind not necessarily a sunroof....
@@psewgobind N Lines can't get HUD, 360 cam, heated seats, and prolly more that I can't think of. All of that is luxury package only
@@christo6765 Oh Well, I'm forced to get the sunroof since 6MT (in Canada) comes with Sunroof. Consolation, wife's excited about getting another car with sunroof.
I’m that type of guy to say on every video “I came here to hear James say And I’m James” but seeing “And I’m James Calling” hit me differently this time but in a heart warming way because they know we joke about it. Thumbs up given.
My cousin has the 2014 Hyundai Elantra
its amazing to see how far its come
@4:14…bless you for not saying asteriks like most people I know. So refreshing when humans communicate properly.
I love the new Elantra I think it looks amazingly sharp to the point that I am considering getting the car
sometimes I don't even care about the car these guys are reviewing, they're just so entertaining to watch. And put out great content of course.
genuinely hope there's a compilation of their intros somewhere, cause this is actually hilarious
Throttle house extra
I love these more down to earth reviews ... cars we can afford 😂
Tiger survived driving a Hyundai off a cliff, I'd say that's a huge win for Hyundai sales.
YEP
But every news article is "Are Genesis SUV's safe????", strongly suggesting they aren't. You know all the Facebook Karens won't read past that title...
@@pilotdog68 The real question is: Does Tiger Woods even know how to drive?
@@wrightcodyj 😬
Whether bad or good, Hyundai got a huge publicity. I guess that's why they pay Tiger the big bucks
That Dorito explanation is awesome, love u guys😂
I'm obsessed with your reviews, could you please work on Hyundai Elantra N review. (Not N-line) aka Avante N, or i30 N (sedan)
Great video guys. It depressing all these hot hatch/little fun cars that are becoming extinct. I have 3 kids but I'm not buying some soulless vehicle to drive myself and my family around. Keep the manuals and fun alive everyone 🤘🤘🤘
I have the elantra gt nine
It's fantastic, truly the best bang for your buck and so fun to drive
I work at a Hyundai dealership and the whole n line lineup is dope and comfortable asf
Petition to review the Kia K5.
Or maybe even a K5 - Camry - Sonata - Accord comparison
I'm driving a K5 this week and it's honestly not that great. Granted it's a stripper model with no options, so I can't speak for how much better the higher trims would be.
@@JTube571 its not that great even in the gt line
Love the N line, but the k5 styling looks so damn good this year and a bit more masculine
I love it too, but I think that's a step up in price as well as size (mid size Vs compact)
@7:56 is the moment we all look forward to in every Throttle House video, amirite?
I just got a 17 Elantra sport 6mt and I love it!! Your review and the straight pipes of the Elantra convinced me to test drive one and I have no regrets. Just wish it had a lsd. Still not sure how I feel about this gen yet I haven’t seen one in person yet but I must say I’m not digging the dash on this one
I want to see this drag race the new Civic SI!! You guys make the best car comparison videos but I never seen the N-Line or the SI in any drag racing videos...... I own a 2020 N-line haha 😅
That door smash is no joke. First time in rented an elantra 2021. I noticed the doors 30 miles into the drive, I thought someone hit me while I was parked.
When James leaned back in the seat I spit out my drink 🤣🤣 brilliant
I know know what to expect from the intro, but it never disappoints.
Wait until they try the 2022 Elantra N, it’s amazing and sounds really good 😂
I can’t wait for you guys to review the new N! On the top of my list for cars that I’m interested in along with the new Si :)
Always a good day when I see "Throttle House has uploaded a new video"
It’s coming time to trade in my Bimmer and I’ve been waiting for the TLX Type-S and the IS F but at the pace Hyundai is going, I wouldn’t be surprised if an updated G70 comes out. These Asian companies are building the foundation to take back over the car industry
This car is awesome value. I will definitely take a look when it comes to Australia.
The N line is perfect, its fast, it has a wonderful interior, more space than any compact suv and a beautiful and sporty aesthetic, dony forget it also has the best warranties imaginable from factory
Not to be confused with the Full blown Elantra N coming soon that has 290 horses.
Yup, that looks like Ontario unfortunately. I am about 2 hours north west of you guys and have about a foot more snow :(
Good video guys. One of the best mixes of information, humor, and just great general entertainment value. Keep it up!
The Forte GT comes with that engine and all the luxury bits.
Actually this engine is different. It might share a displacement and hp/torque figures but the actual engine is like 99% new. Google Hyundai Smartstream engine.
@@JTube571 they both have the smartstream
I love your intro's (also love your videos)
It feels so good waking up to a Throttle House notification.
Honestly, tears of laughter on that intro! 🤣 And THAT'S why I subscribe to Throttlehouse....plus car reviews. Yeah, that part too
Lmao! During the intro video, when Thomas said "Hey Siri" he actually activated the Siri on my phone.
I was like WTF?? 😂🤣
Switch to android.
@@CoupleVoyage No thanks. I own both and my iPhone is far more reliable.

You guys have the best intros! Nicely done!
Idk much about cars
What are my options for $30k
I'm no car guy either but I guess there's the Subaru Impreza? Great for all weather, great feel, nice interior, All When Drive, looks pretty nice. Just I'm pretty sure it only comes in Auto and it's not the fastest thing out there due to it's CVT holding it back.
There tons of stuff out there for 30k and under. This being one of course, impreza wrx is another. Honda has the civic and accord. Don't be afraid to look up new cars or used cars around that price range. Find something that catches your interest. You might even find a truck or suv you might like over a car. I'm going to be getting a new car in 2022 and I'll tell you right now. The list of options to look at is continuing to grow. There's a LOT of great new cars coming out next year.
Thank you guys
Do not overlook the used market either. In fact, if you're not a car guy, I recommend used even more. You can get something more premium for your 30k, like a used lexus, caddy, acura, etc. Or you could pocket some of that by going with a used accord, civic, fusion,. My advice is don't fall for the financial trap of getting something new just because its new and to impress the neighbors (assuming you're not that interested in cars). Also, TEST DRIVE A LOT of different models before making a decision to see what works best for you. I test drove like 7 different models of cars before buying mine.
I love the non-intro, intro. Plus the screen ID for "and I'm James" is perfect!!!
About this car, it looks nice for where it is in the market place. But if I wanted a sporty car from the HKMG, I'd get a KIA Stinger.
I really like the new fun Hyundai brand
I'm astonished this channel doesn't have 10M subs yet
