- Hey friends! It has now been one full year since the purchase of my 2023 Hyundai Elantra N. Just like with my previous car, I wanted to film a one year ownership review to go over my experience with the car and some notable faults to inform you of whether or not you should look into purchasing your own Enjoy!

Also had a lot of doubts with the EN, but since everyone was always fawning over the GR Supra, Type R, M240is and M340is, I thought you know what let’s actually give this Elantra going through a party girl phase a shot. Fast forward four months of owning her, no issues (so far), lots of pop and bangs and she always makes me smile. No regrets buying the car and I plan to drive it till the wheels fall off.
Hell yeah!
14 months in my 23 EN. Haven't looked back and it's the first car I've ever owned that didn't bore me after a while. It's my midlife crisis car... I'm 51, and don't regret it one bit.
@@thomasengel1459yea and then he’s gonna go thru the end of his life crisis
@@thomasengel1459 haters gonna hate
@@thomasengel1459 i can feel your cope through the screen
@@thomasengel1459its not old Hyundai. Tons of cars exceeds that mileage. Modern engines are hella weird, even toyota turbo engines are problematic these days
I'm 13 months with my EN. Still looking forward to doing more to and with it 🎉
Hope it comes soon!
Awesome dude, I'm 7 months into my Kona N - never bored
im blaming you for buying one lmao. its going to be delivered any day now
lol i apologize but I hope you love it 😂😂
For the life of me, i just can't find any that aren't insanely marked up, and deliver.
@@calypso6652 it might be just your location, everyone I’ve talked to here in Colorado got it for MSRP
@@imstrobey im in Florida, dealers are charging 35k for them with 30000 miles on them already
@@calypso6652 I know Florida has a local N club, maybe some of the people in it are familiar with the possibility of getting an N there for MSRP? Here is their instagram: instagram.com/nclubfl?igsh=YmhlZ200cnd6cmlr
I've owned two R35 GTR's and a BMW m2 competition. I bought a 2023 Elantra N in December and it was the best decision ever. My last GTR cost me $140.000 Canadian and I was always stressed about putting mileage on it, driving it in the rain etc. My N is far more engaging to drive. Cost effective and economical. An amazing product for the money.
That’s crazy man I’m mad jealous 😭
Lies 😂
That’s what I’m thinking. Not looking at cars that expensive, but stuff that’s 70-80k Canadian seems insane to buy and put 30,000km on per year.
A regular Elantra for 25k would bum me out but for 40K, this is a pretty cool commuter.
You got the best Hyundai available. You also got the best color. I wish more OEM's would brave the world of different hues.
I am so tired of every car being silver or white
Sky blue is nice too❤
great video bro. figuring out my next car and this helped out a lot thank you
that's awesome man i'm glad i could help. picking a car is always a ton of fun there's so many choices!
the red bars do add to the structure of the car. they are mounted to your rear shock towers, one bar is horizontal it trasfers weight across the car to the other side under cornering/camber forces. the lower angled bars keep the top car stable with the body preventing further boddy and flat bar flexing.
thank you! do people really think you can just slap a better engine in a $28000 family sedan and not have to reinforce the chassis at least a little?
@@yimpyoi9808The crossbar also comes off if you need the practicality for the rare occasion. There's only 6 bolts all you need is a 12mm (4) & 10mm (2) socket, and a trim removal tool for a few plastic clips behind the rear seat where all the bolts are. Takes less than 5 minutes and it goes in/out super easily. Definitely nice for people who might need the passthrough not having to destroy the car 😂
Hyundai says it adds 29% more rigidity to the chasis. If it's in your way, and you never track, it's very simple to remove with *basic* (read not magic) tools. @pattiboi has a how-to video
I love your channel. I went from Honda to BMW to Hyundai now, and I'm really satisfied with Hyundai cars. Civic Si left me stranded in the middle of Arizona and BMW 530i literally broke down and towed. I still have an old Hyundai Azera with almost 400k miles and 22 Elantra N with 100k miles. I am happy with both cars.
Thanks so much! I got another video coming up from an anime/car show and the Pikes Peak Hillclimb fan fest!
The wrapping color is so pretty😍
Thank so much :)
@@imstrobey It's similar to one of current generation BMW M3's colours. Maybe even it's the same?🤔Lovely wrap.👍
@@pawekam2714 it’s really close! I was trying to go after the Alfa Romeo green they have, but accidentally matched the BMWs instead haha
Great video. Thanks for taking the time to put it out.
No problem, thanks for checking it out :)
Just got my 24 EN a month ago and I love it so much. Super fun yet sensible and really easy car to learn manual in. Im so exited to really learn how to drive it well and experience its full potential!
Hi Imstrobey, great review, really appreciate it, been looking at one of these for a couple of years now. Keep up the great work.
Well thanks so much
Great review! I love your sweater!
lol thank you!
Let's go, Strobey!
Yo here from the subreddit! Sick vid man and awesome car!
Hey thank you and welcome to the channel!
Awesome review. Looking into getting a daily with good mpg to have alongside my car and I keep going back and forth between this and 2 other cars. This review basically covered everything I had questions about. Great editing/video as well!
Awesome I’m glad I was able to help out with your questions. I kinda improvised the whole script so I’m glad it turned out well 😂
Nice job because i was wooden the same thing, your cadence and delivery is hilarious. New sub 💯@imstrobey
@@gabrielgiron4273 thanks so much! Working on a new video but the Colorado snow is making it so that not a lot of events are happening
Ohhh so you’re green N guy on Reddit I always see. Love the wrap bro🫶🏽
Yup I guess I’m the green guy 😂 thank you!
Never considered this vehicle coming from a BMW 230i and currently the Tesla Model 3, but I have a base Elantra as a rental right now and I am actually quite impressed! Had a lot of fun driving back home tonight and even the base felt very nimble. Steering was good. I am very interested in trying out the N version manual and DCT right now! Oh and by the way, you have great taste in the car wrap. That is easily one of the best wraps I have seen!
Well thank you so much! I drove the base Elantra as a rental in California and I’m sure you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the N because it’s got a lot better handling
nice wrap. love the colour. 👍🏼
Thank you! Cheers!
Awesome video bro, love the color of your as well! Hope to see you at a Hyundai drive event some day
thank you so much! i will try to make it to more events
I will add, that im in EN groups for a year now, and own one myseld for a year. i never saw anyone posting about their engine blowing up, only issues ive seen is: horns going out, some people had some injector issues, fuel pump issues, believe saw one had their throttle body go out. And many people in the group run tunes. Seems so far it's a well built engine.
i own this car for almost a year now. never had a problem so far. shits so fun to drive. make people look and ask what is that.
just a tip, avoid pot holes sometimes u cant lol. but if ur in a bad city, go 17"
Such a fun car! It’s been one of my favorites
Oh dude I feel like I’ve seen your car on the internet a couple times before
@@imstrobey lol yeah it’s been around lol.
i own a 21 veloster n after almost 4 years of ownership its been a blast! no major issues that would make want to change cars
What were the issues?
That color is beautiful. I got the white 6speed
Damn that color looks really nice
Damn I’m a good filmer
Beautiful color, just beautiful
Thanks so much :)
I love the color!
Thank you!
Similar symptoms occurred on the 2016 Chrysler 300 SRT8 I owned. Hyundai has different body clearance on the left and right sides, so the A-pillar trim comes off. This makes sense if the car is 10 years old, but if it's less than that it's a defect. Chrysler also uses a lot of carbon material inside the car, which slowly warps and eventually flakes off. If you're an American with that kind of experience, you might think Hyundai is a reliable car. Chrysler's assembly accuracy was also terrible.
I do like the color of this car. I am looking into buying an elantra n but I am particular to the light blue.
I have the 23 Elantra SEL w/ con. package, and I put my phone in the same spot to the left of the gauge cluster, except I have a magsafe charger there instead of a phone holder. Also my oil change is only 55 dollars lol
I have the same with one side of the front drooping
2:45 explains my driving style with this car for the past 2 years.
What did you get for winter tires? I’m looking at getting one in the next little bit
I got Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4
I love that wrap
Thank you!
I’ve only seen 1 stinger that looks similar to this but yours look more unique
Thank you 👍🏻
How does this do on the snow ? I plan on getting a daily I’m in NY. I’m in between s3, vw mk8, Elantra N.
I want Elantra n for the price lol 😂
It’s not bad at all in the snow, but make sure to purchase winter tires. The car comes with summer tires so it will have 0 traction obviously. I have not had issues driving in like 3 or 4 inches of snow, I haven’t had more than that yet to test.
I can vouch for a mk8 in the snow:)
Every guy that buys this car TH-cam channel explodes im glad hyundai is finally being taken seriously
Dude I'm also going from an Elantra Sport to a 2024 Elantra N (my order has arrived in Australian ports, so will have it soon). Would be good to hear more about what you noticed between the two cars.
Mostly just the added power and the improved stickiness to the road, I can take corners a lot faster. Besides that it’s pretty similar!
I also ordered but do you know an estimate of when they will arrive and reveal pricing?
@@menamesframerate9136 which country are you in? I'm picking up my 24 N this Friday the 8th.
@@CrystalNinja07 United States ☹️
@@menamesframerate9136 Yeah it is a bit delayed in the US, which sucks. I mean, I think the cars are manufactured in Korea, so makes sense that Australia and other Asian countries are getting them first. But yeah quite a few are being picked up at dealers this week in Australia. I hope they come to the US soon!
Want this in Europe so bad🙏😭
How much did that wrap cost to get done with all the angles?
it was about $3k
I love mines to i had it for a year now to
great video bro, car looks awesome
Thanks man I really appreciate it :)
Yooo where u get that green one its beautiful
Thank you! It was blue from the factory and I got it wrapped green
@@imstrobeyah ok…i didnt see the blue lmfaooo the green pops if hyundai released a green color damn even i would buy the green
I'm an Elantra N owner in Colorado too.how do you get onto the enthusiast club?
Check the description of the video I have links to all our social media 😄
Ooh you like rare cars you gotta look at the Subaru legacy gt spec B only 500 made
Yessss
I have a Civic Si 2015 and I love the elantra N, sometimes made me think trade in my car for the N, and what percent of windows tint you have?
I believe I have 15%, I forgot it was a while ago 😅
What's your thoughts on the 2024 Elantra N facelift?
It’s fine I don’t hate it but I do prefer mine just because it looks more different from other cars
Great vid but your back ground music is very distracting and loud lol
Funny seeing all the trolls here hating on your car. Or hyundais in general all the engine issues 9/10 its due to improper tunning and completely ignoring NORMAL wear and tare maintenance,
Pathetic if you ask me...
Sporty looking car with from my understanding quite a bit of power and plenty of torque and every review iv read or heard its a blast to drive, im currently looking into purchasing one, i have a tuned 16 ram sport 5.7 pushing up near 580hp and a tad over 600lb torque, its been parked lately due to having 250k+ miles, so iv been driving our 3rd car (2020 kia forte lxs) with the basic 2.0 (147hp) extremely slow and the torque is gawdowffle opossed to my truck so really curious if the performance of the elantra N would satisfy the middle ground....? The price point is dam near perfect.
Color works remarkably well . i wouldnt have thought about that choice for this car . Whatever reservations I have about the the chances taken by designers to step outside the box which is a good thing as a rule . particularly for Hyundai who are derivative often , to be fair its common in the industry and Hyundai being somewhat of a new brand it is /was understandable, but this color somehow dials down the aspects that caused some discorance for me aesthetically . My biggest issue with these , some other hyundais and other cars but Hyundais in particular isnt about design so much but the grills look somehow extra plastic with the finish of the plastic . minor point and truthe be told people ask for TOO MUCH in tregards to materials often in general but from Hyundai which ends up increasing the price . I like Hyundai as a value brand ( have owned 2 including current car GT N Line manual) and this car still offers bang for buck which is often what I want . People complain themselves into then complaining about price . There is soo much material in a car one never touches or even pays attention to as well as certain details I dont care about when price is right and having choices is great . No shame in filling a niche like Hyundai has and does . If one wants to spend they can get a Toyota Civic R or a nightmare as pointed out and get a german car .
I cant think of too mant cars that get higher praise from reviewers who enjoy driving . This car has more handling and power for enthusiast driving then the VAST majority of people can exploit . Acceleration is unquestionably fun but also has downsides to fun and driveability when you have a car with too much potential that makes pushing it impossible except on track leaving you with no fun on public roads EXCEPT for acceleration and possibility of problems with liscence .
I own a 19 GT N Line which is called an Elantra but is in fact an I30 and different , comes with Michelin PS4S tires and has rediculous levels of grip for technical roads and being far below this cars potential I can not easily find the edge as it handles so good for what it is with its measly 200 hp and lack of LSD . But the amount of speed you can attack turns with is scary and WAY beyond the " sports" seats ability to keep you from being stuck to the door and barley managing to hold on to steering wheel while the car takes turns at speeds that are kooky pants for this or any car on public roads I would actually expect to upset the car / cause terminal understeer and be BAD and yet its not the case . With proper seats it would be easier but still NUTS and their is a point of dimishing returns for performance cars that are driven on road , especially ones that serve as transportation . This is why soo many people buy ULTRA HIGH PERFORMANCE cars and all their videos are about STRAIGHTLINE ACCELERATION TESTS against the clock or another car instead of driving them HARD on back roads etc . Truth is , the cars abilitys far exceed what would be anywhere near sane or safe for all but the best drivers and even then anti social behaviour in many to most cases which then makes the car in fact not FUN . Fun is not a function of potential or #s but rather INTERACTION with the car or anything serving as a toy of which this car is MEANT TO BE and if not bought with that purpose you made a bad choice and or may be a poser . Your choice to play with your toys as you see fit and to your ability but this is a DUAL PURPOSE car or Tripple Purpose being transportation , a car to drive aggressively on road in right situations and a car you can do some track driving on if you dont ask too much of it in the amount of laps etc but can be used for some track driving and formal stuff but mostly will be used to have fun on road in your transportation and in that case , particularly for technical stuff like winding back roads exceeds most divers abilities unless your balls are bigger then your brain in which case no car will protect you from yourself .
With a competent driver it will be difficult for a non competent driver to keep up with you on technical roads regardless of what they are driving . For some folks this car will not be enough . For me I enjoy playing with slip angle so this is not optimum for certain things but for GOING FAST on twisty roads this is a pretty good weapon and if and when you discover you can push it at 9 10ths consistently and now bored and needing more car , thats awesome , your a very skilled driver and hopefully you have the money to pay for mods and associated costs or higher end or higher performing cars but if most people are honest and remove their ego they will realize this car is in fact BETTER then they are . To what degree will be different and for some not the case , but for a wide margin of people this is a lot of performance for getting after back roads which IMO is what is actually FUN in street cars . You can stil have some top speed thrills in it as well even if not a 200 mph car as well .
This owner is at least HONEST which is great . Admits the goofy personal reasons why he likes stuff as well as aware of his limitations and not afraid to admit them . I would like to own both the Stingray and this but both have upsides but for driving on street the Hyundai . Giant empty parking area where you can make your own " track " and play with slip angle / drift , etc the Stingray is infinitely more fun . I think the car suits the driver in this case . Im not a fan of paying beyond my means for toys or for appliances and this is a good price point for what it is and what it does .
Hey I appreciate the very thoughtful comment :) I definitely agree, a lot of cars have so much unusable performance they unfortunately get resorted to just whichever one has the lowest 0-60. But there's so much more that can be enjoyed than that.

I am also pretty sure this is the case
Hey man is the car stock height or are you on springs
Stock!
car so fire
that's what i'm saying
Did you have your resonator deleted?
I did!
Only problem I have is when your at red light and accelerate really slow you can hear a noise and same when you slowly stop you hear a super light clunk
I don't know if I've ever heard that, I'll have to listen next time to see if I have it.
Joys of owing a DCT...can be clunky at very low speeds but fantastic and quick shifting at higher speeds...
I wish they had more analouge gauges.
Interesting, did not consider that
Got the 23 but lowkey should have waited for the 24
Maybe! I saw it in person at the Hyundai Driving Experience, I could go both ways. I don't know if one looks better than the other, just two different flavors.
I test drove on. I felt it was under-powered, I didn't like the shifter placement with the armrest, the interior materials were just too low-grade for a daily for me.
That’s probably fine, I haven’t driven a lot of nice cars so I guess I’m used to the interior haha
@revnation_auto what would you recommend as an alternative new car at this price point?
real talk how much is your insurance?? are kia/hyundai policies still super expensive right now?
It’s pretty bad, about $2800 per year

What wrap color is that?

You worried about rust with salt on the roads?
In Colorado specifically, our humidity is extremely low so we do not have rust issues at all
Seems like a lot of people sell their N cars after a year or two. Main issues are the wheel hop is atrocious, seats are not very comfortable, and dash rattles like hell.
Build quality is why I'd buy si or type r
So you would be slower because a panel is a cm off? 😂
Hondas have the same issues.
Nah
Wondering why people bring build quality when comparing the CTR and the EN?
Just open the trunk of the EN and see the horrendous braces in your way.
The 🔑 is on the details.
@anarchyjinflames well a ctr is not slower than a EN also I like my cars no depreciating like 15% a year
@@MarbindI believe you’re the only person I’ve ever seen in my 2 years of ownership (not to mention the research I did before purchase) leave a negative comment about the bars behind the seat. Not everyone needs to use their car as a hauling machine. This thing was built for the track!
Hyundai's best-made car is Elantra
tou can run 87 octane to 100 octane. ready. your. manual i. run 87. wintertime. no problems. and. my car has 30k miles in had. car for 2 years so far great. car
I love what Hyundai is doing, but I put my money on a Type R. It just spoke to me more and felt tighter all around. Enjoy your N.
I definitely love the type r! I didn’t really consider it because I never learned manual.
Has it started burning oil yet? Too soon
Haven’t heard of anyone with that issue
Sold mine before a year of owning it. Cheap plastic interior, paint quality is terrible, but still a fun and loud car despite not being that fast.
Can’t really speak on paint quality since I wrapped it soon after buying it, interesting point!
What you expect? Its based on an economy box car. You expect it to be a mercedez? Lol
@@commentmancommentman1658 mercedez nuts got em
@imstrobey ik lmfao. Plus the interior is actually amazing if you compare it to like a corolla gr😂😂
@@commentmancommentman1658 Implying Mercedes quality is good these days lol. My criticism stands that the paint quality is shit and the plastic interior makes way to much noise.
You can use reg gas. The pt car will adjust to the fuel you put in. The system is flawed though. It's hit or miss to get full boost when you put 93oct in.
Fast cars, fast food!
The fuel economy is your driving. I get 49 mpg regularly and on a long trip did a 52 mpg
I don’t think we have the same car friend, it is very impossible to get more than 40 MPG in this car.
The front bumper and hood were wrapped, the people who did it or if you did it didn’t align it correctly!
Although this is true that they were wrapped, you do not remove the front bumper or hood to wrap a car. In addition I had this issue before getting the car wrapped and a couple other people that don't have the car wrapped also had the issue.
Nice bed head lol :)
I was hoping that color was an option. Then you opened the door…
Sorry about that… 😅
If you think this car needs more power for the track, you're cornering too slow
I mean I don’t think that’s true, there’s definitely straight bits of tracks where u stand on the gas pedal and it looks like you’re not accelerating. Turns are great of course but there’s straights too.
@imstrobey ya don't get me wrong, I've been walked on by plenty of cars, but acouple of corners later they're pointing me by. The true beauty of this car isn't it's straightline speed, but everything else inbetween
Maybe, some of the other owners are 'dogging' the car...
Probably!
The next time you do a video …. Please clean that car interior …. My dude 🙏🏾
haha it's just some pebbles from the winter driving
Getting a turbo replaced at a Hyundai dealership will cost you about the same as getting two turbos replaced at a BMW dealership. Keep that in mind when you think just because it's a Hyundai it'll be cheaper to maintain.
If you're scared of maintenance costs don't even bother with these after warranty, otherwise they are good cars, you get a whole lot for your money.
I don’t really keep cars for over 4 years I like trying new stuff

Did you make a mistake? Just with the paint job. I see the remnant of intense blue that is on my 6-speed Elantra N. Don't buy this car if you want to be a poser and impress all the people who only know about car brands and hood ornaments. If you want to buy a car that is basically already modified for you and comes from the factory the way most of us would want, and is super fun to drive for a very reasonable price then buy one. If you want the brand that all the posers know about then buy something else. I'm not gonna mention the brands and get people upset, he-he.

The mistake was not getting a manual. I don’t see how these slow cars are considered cool or even fun to drive without a manual transmission.
U wrong DCT has way more potential than a manual I love manual cars but the N is not the best manual, type r or GR Corolla is a perfect Manual transmission but Hyundai is not.
