2021 Hyundai Elantra N Line Review // Don't Underestimate It 

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....

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.

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.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EQ_tzvWMCLs.html

I literally spit out my food

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.

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

Mine too

😂😂😂😂😂

For my case, it activated my homepods and my ipad’s siri - i was so confused xD

**Thomas "and I'm James" are the best honestly

Yes I ship them 😳

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.

High verified youtubers

@@horriblewater7548 which game?

Asimo...?

What are you doing here? you're like a roblox youtuber

What are you doing here?

Yeah but the problem is they are the most stolen.

@@dumbpIing 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

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.

No that's exactly what he's talking about

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!.

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.

"...and we going for a drive" 😂😂😂😂

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%

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

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.

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

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.

I love it too, but I think that's a step up in price as well as size (mid size Vs compact)

Throttle house extra

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

Switch to android.

@@CoupleVoyage No thanks. I own both and my iPhone is far more reliable.

@@vr6gls could be true for you. Android assistant will recognise your voice and reply to that. You can add upto 6 diff people to enable voice command.

@@vr6gls People always say they own both products xd Its literally the same thing as console wars back in the day - I own both ps4 and xbox and I think xbox is better"

@@Jallu555 I actually do own both phones simultaneously. My personal phone is an IPhone. My work phone is an Android. I much prefer my IPhone.

Lotus is a weird car brand still I don't understand the brand

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

Have been watching both for about 6-12 months now and these guys are getting much more fun, natural, yet informative than Straight Pipes are lately...
