You're a really good writer! I watch a lot of car reviews, and I just really appreciate your refinement with what you say, tempo of delivery, etc. Thanks for the effort!!
@@KuyaArbee Tom's a perfectionist. He'll pull a video down and replace it if he gets something wrong or doesn't like the final product. Others just leave theirs up. That's not Tom.
I had an elantra 2012. Had good luck as it didnt have any issues thru 160k miles. But it was numb. Glad to see sedans get performance to stand out from suv. Now if only we could get hot hatches again. Maybe their accent would be an N hit
Overall which is the best to drive and own on this car the manual 6spd or the 8spd dual clutch. How much difference in power and speed in both transmissions in these cars?
I always encourage the driver of the vehicle I am in to go faster through the corners, but was told that the other passengers on the bus might not enjoy that 😣
Currently in a 21 accord 2.0 10 speed. It's a great daily, bargain, sleeper. I'm looking for my next daily sleeper which doesn't break the bank and this elantra is very appealing. Had anyone had any major issues with their elantra?
Props to Tom to a fun review and to Hyundai for turning a pedestrian FWD sedan into a respectable sporty car. Yeah, there are better ones out there but they're not better by huge margins. Not crazy about the looks of current Hyundai vehicles but that's very subjective. Track times, OTOH, aren't.
Do any of the Elantra N owners have to worry about the car theft from the failed engine immobilizers or not since that was models 2011 to 2021? Elantra N started in 2022. Any advice?
If you could choose would get the manual or DCT I am looking to trade my Kia Forte GT DCT 7spd for an EN but debating on whether I shall go manual or DCT, any thoughts?
Me? I'd go with the manual because I like the action. But that's a personal choice, especially if you drive in stop and go traffic a lot. The manual saves you money, there's that.
@@DrivenCarReviews Thanks for your thoughts, were you able to tell any difference in exhaust loudness and pop and bangs between the manual and auto? or where both the same
Nice car, for sure....but "affordable" ?? In Canada - this thing will cost you almost 50K. That's not budget, nor affordable. Pricing for new cars has become utterly ridiculous.
@DrivenCarReviews Maybe so, but a car like that is something you keep for a long time and you WANT to keep up. Kinda like buying High-End Audio gear vs crap from Best Buy.
Sigh............ Just another wake-up call to say that "At least 99% of us DO NOT "PLAY WITH CARS" -- we DON'T buy "sports cars" or "wanna-be sports cars." Good grief, WHY?? We're mired in traffic, and if you want to do a "slalom," well, quite often half of the cars on the road are doing 10 to 15 MPH below the speed limit, anyway. Just try to get around those folks without bashing into someone (and GOOD LUCK with that), and that's as much "sport" as we're ever going to use. Yes, we want competent handling, and enough power to pass safely on the open highways. It's a very rare vehicle these days that can't accomplish that. No, Tom, what we need is SOMETHING WE CAN AFFORD TO BUY, which is the most difficult thing to find, entirely. Can we float back down to Earth some day, and try to find vehicles that "normal" people might actually be able to buy, and use the way that 99% of us do with motor vehicles in our daily lives? Please?
Just about all of the cars today are made for exactly what you are asking. This is one of like 3 affordable sporty cars made today. If you wanted an Elantra that is fully loaded you can buy one cheaper than this N model. The Honda Civic with the new hybrid is under 30k and has the passing power you are looking for at what would be considered affordable these days.
Even in everyday driving, this vehicle is a cut above. A base Elantra will do what you’re asking. Also try Trax, Envista, HRV, Venue, and the new Kicks. Lots of choices.

2 years and 31,000 miles on my 2022 Elantra N and I still absolutely love it!
In 4 years u might be at 100k miles
32,500 here on my 2022. I travel for my new job which will help lower those miles. But I love driving it!!
Manual or dct?
@@DINU_R DCT
@@DINU_R DCT as well.
I own a '24 EN. Absolutely love it. Massive difference from my N-line.
I gotten 36MPG on my N in eco mode with the OEM tires which surprised me.
Hi, I came here after watching the Hyundai Elantra flees from Arkansas police video. Awesome getaway car!
Didn't mind the last version 😊.... But since you edited it I will watch it again 😁.. Love the channel ✌️
yea I saw it was uploaded earlier but wasn't able to watch! what's the difference with this version from the last?
:)
You're the best!

doubt any automaker wouldn't reinvite Tom to their event. good and fair review that's focused for the buyer
aw man what happeend to the bloopers at the end? you should've kept that
I really hope Hyundai makes a new Kona N or at least a new Elantra Hatchback N like the old i30 N in Europe
They did. I got the 2024 Kona N Line 🎉
@@yungdunce6410 Kona N, not N line
I’m a Honda fan. But I really, really love the N. For sure my next Car!!
Although I watched it yesterday, supporting the new version for the algorithm. Plus, the autocross looked like a lot of fun!
It was fun. I should do it more often.
Didn't I already watch this, yesterday?
Did you? If so, hope you enjoyed the second time!
Overall which is the best to drive and own on this car the manual 6spd or the 8spd dual clutch. How much difference in power and speed in both transmissions in these cars?
This does not have manual or dual clutch. It's a 1-speed transmission with simulated gearing.
I always encourage the driver of the vehicle I am in to go faster through the corners, but was told that the other passengers on the bus might not enjoy that 😣
Excelent reviews as always...
I’ve owned a couple Type Rs and I own an Elantra N now and it’s an amazing car. Basically a Type R lite for much cheaper. And it’s not much “liter”
Currently in a 21 accord 2.0 10 speed. It's a great daily, bargain, sleeper. I'm looking for my next daily sleeper which doesn't break the bank and this elantra is very appealing. Had anyone had any major issues with their elantra?
I'm just wondering if Hyundai is still making money from this segment? Nonetheless I love seeing Hyundai still making cars.
How much did the car cost cost
As for options, you can only get the sunroof on the DCT auto. No sunroof option on the manual.
That's only in the US market. Everywhere else you get a sunroof with manual

FYI, that wasn't my real time on the display, it was someone else's. I'll let you figure out if I was faster or slower...
Do any of the Elantra N owners have to worry about the car theft from the failed engine immobilizers or not since that was models 2011 to 2021? Elantra N started in 2022. Any advice?
No. And the theft issue only applied to Kia/Hyundai vehicles with physical key start, not push button for those who don't know.
Im hoping when i pay my elantra sport off i can trade that in for a Elantra N in the future!

@@DrivenCarReviews Thanks for your thoughts, were you able to tell any difference in exhaust loudness and pop and bangs between the manual and auto? or where both the same
@diegoheredia9106 the manual gives you more
Top Speed??
Hyundai doesn't offer that figure. Car and Driver estimates 155MPH.
Nice car, for sure....but "affordable" ??
In Canada - this thing will cost you almost 50K.
That's not budget, nor affordable.
Pricing for new cars has become utterly ridiculous.
Big things….they are taking this seriously. Prices are gonna go up eventually
Elantra N makes the competitors pretty poor value!
Think they need to put that performance in a better looking car
And for all the speed and technology, you're still driving a fwd Hyundai with a cheap ass interior. For more money than a used Porsche 944 Turbo. 😂
I have a friend with a 944T. You don't want to know how much he spends maintaining it.
@DrivenCarReviews Maybe so, but a car like that is something you keep for a long time and you WANT to keep up. Kinda like buying High-End Audio gear vs crap from Best Buy.
@1970borntorun free to spread your negativity elsewhere. Your Life problems are not the world's problem
Hyundai…please fix the hideous rear end!!!

@@DrivenCarReviews this comment is an absolute masterclass in cutting through melodrama and presenting a path forward
Lol, can you not see the blobs of EVs, plethora of Hybrids, and EVs now available?
@JonRuh not trying to be that one person but this is a legit sports car...the "sporty" one is the elantra N line with 201 turbocharged power
I dislike it when a company representative inserts his propaganda in a video
He didn't insert anything. I chose to use it. Not sure how him stating the differences or me saying them makes any difference.
Repost
Here in Australia, it is double the price for I30 N sedan. we don't get Elantra
Yeah, and people complain about prices here.
Double price of what?!
