Is the 2023 Hyundai Elantra N a BETTER new car to BUY than a Toyota GR Corolla? 

Oh I bet!

Lmk when it blows up

@Patrick Bateman I'll be sure to remember. Been using Kia products all my life, having had any issues.

@@Terror1Void don't listen to the trolls who have nothing to do but trash Korean cars. Special people they are for sure 😂

@Patrick Bateman is that how you live you're life. If,when...... I own a Kona N, had it for 6 months, and just came back from a 5 hrs business trip and had a blast with the car. It's got dual personality, normal and N. I can go buck wild an average 19 or get comfy and average 34 mpg. Again I love this car.

That is so wonderful!

How much? Cuz here in Puerto Rico the dealer the dealer was asking around 48k for it

@@hipolitorivera4631 here in PR they are just abusive with the markups. Pelea el precio hasta llegar a casi el total ya después de los arbitrios. Lo hice con mi Sentra SR 2021.

@@rodolfotorres1602 Una cosa ridícula para ser honesto

@Hipólito Rivera I paid MSRP for mine here in Hawaii. There were some dealers here that wanted 48k+, but I managed to secure mine for MSRP.

This is so very true Joe!

It only in USA that warranty? i think in Canada its only 5 years?

Hyundai KIA cars are 1. catches fire, 2. easy to steal, 3. engine Blow up 4. weakest transmission in the market 5. company lie about gas mileage 6. insurance refuse to cover 7. use child labor to manufacture.

public announcement for hyundai KIA genesis owner. Jan. 31, 2023-Two of America's largest insurance providers, Progressive and State Farm, refuse to cover older Hyundai and Kia models. According to reports, the insurers say that some models of these two auto brands are too easy to steal in certain cities.9

My girlfriend had a 2018 Hyundai Sonata and it literally caught on fire. don be stupid

@@dark6c159 seems like a personal problem to me. I bought a accord instead.

No they have not, they make garbge

@@kekepalmer9464 I bet you drive 70 in the 35.

Lol I just see a regular elantra. It is a good car but not a neck breaker

@@ju4121 regular and N are two different worlds. It's too sharp of the design for the regular trims

@@dacei it’s still a 4-cyl though. $32k for a car with no life in it. Sounds like a sewing machine too. It looks alright, but underneath there’s nothing to it. Recently got my hands on a 2022 Camry TRD and have driven both cars now. The TRD actually has life to it. Sounds good and looks good too.

@@nathandrums0 The Elantra N would put your Camry TRD to shame...

@@KevinQ50RS lmaooo bro. Driven both cause my friend owns one. It’s slow as fuck. He’s selling his for a TRD like mine.

This is so very true! The sound wins me over 100%

@@techyin326 true. But DCT is actually better on this car over manual

@@techyin326 nobody likes slower lol

I think he already reviewed the DCT version.

@@nmode22 I think you are more connected with a Manuel tran plus I believe it’s more fun .But you are right the Dct is faster and offers more perks

@@hectoribarra8473 this is true but if you drive the DCT you’ll understand. Even sounds like a manual down shifting lol. But I do miss having a stick.

I agree with you Jordan!

Progressive, State Farm stop covering Hyundai, Kia models due to thefts

In the N model

@@dieselson18 love type r’s they always mob with me on the highway when I see one. wanted one originally but ended up with a VN.

@@youcangetsum6871 nice !

I have a Kona N and the build quality is actually very good--the stitches in the seats are perfecly even and there are no gaps on the dashboard--I even bought a dashboard cover off amazon and it fits over the vents etc perfectly.BTW I would rather have the hard plastics because they are waterproof--clean easy and resist scuffs that exotic materials do not.I also left my window half open one time during a rainstorm and if I had had exotic materials they probably would have been damaged.The audio system is also very good and the tech and screens on the display work instantly--no lag like you would find in Ford and some Audi products.Only problem is the reacll and luckily all mine needs is a software update--the car is also able to keep its warranty if you take it to the track and I think it is the only manufacturer that allows this.

golf r?????? zašto?????

@siniša jakus golf r is about $45k in USD, dealers are adding between 5k and 20k over

@@catinthehat5140 I went and looked at a golf R in 2020 and wound up getting a brand new AWD Stinger GT for 36k--the Golf R--2020 model was 45k back then.I also was able to sell my stinger a year and a half later for 45k--made 10k off of it when several folks contacted me after seeing me race it at public drag--so I own a Kona N and was able to pocket 10k--I miss the stinger but the local drag near me closed and the stinger sat too low for me to go up to the mountains where I like to ebike.

@@khronin What did you pay otd

I am glad that it is an easy decision for you!

How so?

Value for money i think your right.

I am so glad that you are digging this one.

They're not fake vents.

vents are real !

That sums it up for sure!

That is so wonderful Dheeradj!

I am so glad that I can share my car passion with you!

Thanks man for letting me bring it to you!

lucky! is the ride as firm as reviewers have been saying?

The kona N is much better looking in my opinion as well however I could not even fit in the backseat headroom or legroom behind my seating position. So It’s just too small lol.

The traffic is exactly the deal breaker for the manual

Japanese car brand over a Korean car brand all day!!!

Exactly! Perfectly put Omar!

@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8 korean car over japanese car all day

@@user-bd9lw9jp9t Korean insurance Japanese build quality

Agree 💯

They had the Veloster N

They have it in other parts of the world!

I hope the next generation that was confirmed by Hyundai will be a lift back design.

Look up the i30N

Thanks for that great info from your experience!

I find PB to be the worst color. But congrats on getting the N

White is the best

Gray is the best one on my opinion. Enjoy your car 👍🏻

@@porfiriato84 yea that color is disgusting idk why they thought to use that blue

I have the cyber grey...best color in the range imho

Thanks Jimmy for saying that!

I totally see it now! LOL

Same here!

Very good points for sure!

Great question!

@@RaitisRides that should be a zonk

Will do Sunjib! Stay tuned man!

@@RaitisRides Thank You

Bought couple parts when i get her back from storage

Sounds like a plan Martin!

@@martinelantraratedn Very cool! That will be extra fun!

You'll find one. But you need to travel out of state.

Thanks for sharing that great ownership input Rob!

That is really awesome Paul. Thank you for sharing that great ownership input!

Shoulda bought Kona n

Can you please give a quick assessment of the speed and mpg between the manual and DCT @paulziegler8505

Good call!

How would you compare driving performance against 2023 type R and GR Corolla?

@@hectoribarra8473 stay tuned I have that video coming!

Awesome job Hector!

Congrats! You should be very excited!

You're*

Favorite of all time your on a budget or a z generatiojn age ?

@@stevenmartin2070 it’s my favorite car of all time because I don’t like other cars that have iPads sticking up on the dash for the infotainment system. Its stupid and will go out of style soon. Frankly been out style. Out of all the research I have done this car is the best in my opinion compared to others of caliber.

No doubt the EN is the best sounding "stock" 4 cylinder. But, Subarus are the king of 4 bangers once a catback is thrown on

I totally agree with you Matt!

@@BDA0531 lol Subaru?!sounds horrible

@@mharro88 might need to get your ears checked then lol

toyota fanboy matt always be trolling whenever someone said it's better than his toyota.

Heck yeah!

Oh heck yeah!

Thanks Pricila! Don't jinx me!

Praxis at once. This is a boop fest plus. Come on son. Mush. MUAHAHAHAH

I am glad that you think so!

You are the man Dominic!

No one asked

@@porfiriato84 wtf do you even drive...?

It truly is Tom!

Oh wow!

I just saw one for $72k. Just gross greed

Heck yeah DCT for the win!

That is so awesome! Thanks for sharing that!

@@RaitisRides You should review a 2023 DCT. Just so you know and since no one else mentions it. The DCT on multiple dynos has proven that the car stock makes 276 whp and 289wtq. Meaning the car makes over 300 crank HP. The manual dynos at 240 who. Just Fyi. No one really states this fact when comparing to the GR corolla or CTR. Also, if you do review it in DCT Manual mode throttle response is not great. Use NGS to drop a gear or do manual mode in 2nd at 4k RPMs then floor it and then change back to Drive.

I agree with you!

Should have gone golf R

Yea it gives it a muscular look but it doesn't need it. Car looks good as it is

@@mattmekhaeil without the muscular fender flares, it looks more like a base Elantra.

@@TheBreakfastLover youre wrong

This is very true!

@@mattmekhaeil why would a street car need flares and wide body.

There you go!
