Is the 2024 Hyundai Elantra N a BETTER sport sedan than an Acura Integra Type S? 

2 years and 31,000 miles later and I still absolutely love my 2022 Elantra N!

we just on the sidewalk casually🤣

In terms of value per dollar, there really isn't a single performance car on the market that comes close to the Elantra N MSRP for MSRP.

Got my ‘24 Intense Blue Elantra N 6 MT two weeks ago. It has completely and totally won me over. I ordered in 2 months ago without ever driving it. It’s a modern Dodge Neon SRT-4: insane value, hilarious noises, great handling.

A 2022 Elantra N DCT owner here, is amazing and fast car, for the money is a great value, you have four cars in one, Eco and Normal mode for cruise and driving daily, Sport and N mode for the mountains and road curse like Michelin Road Atlanta in Georgia. This car is made for track, the steering is very communicative, the track sense active is the best setting for racing track and autocross, the brakes is very responsive, I recommend a little better pads for some heats, but have great brakes. My car have 32,000 miles with not issues. Also believe or not very cheap in gas, I made a road trip from South Carolina to Texas I get 40.3 MPG over 370 miles in one tank. My brother is a very BMW Fan, he drove my Elantra N and he said is amazing car. I love my Elantra N.

This car really speaks to how far Hyundai has come since 1986 in the United States. This Elantra N is an amazing car, especially for the price.

I have a Veloster N with DCT. No other car has brought so much joy and excitement since my 1984 GTI. I could care less about the hard plastics.

I love it when you say, "Updated, changed up!"

Thanks to your videos I now find myself having to fight the urge to randomly go “ON THROTTLE HERE WE GO” whenever I drive somewhere.

Coming from an S2000, absolutely love my Elantra N.

I saw this 57 seconds after it was posted. Should I comment before I even watch? Oh yeah. I'm watching waiting for zonks and how many food items I can fit in the door panels! On throttle!

I picked up my 24 EN DCT a few weeks ago and I’m loving it 🔥

I did the initial inspection on that car! It was a great time getting to meet you! Been subscribed since Covid

Hey Joe you actually sold me on The Elantra N I believe you really enjoyed driving it! The Wife wants to visit a HYUNDAI Dealership now thanks 😂

"I didn't eat my rice krispies this morning, so I wanna hear some pops and bangs." Joe ur hilarious 😂

I can't believe Joe actually got his aluminum dead pedal...

Might not be better but this car offers a lot for the price.

Never driven a Hyundai but always impressed with how their vehicles look for the money.

Nothing beat the looks of the "Integra type s".Sup Joe & Lori y'all keep up the amazing work you do bringing your viewers awesome content.

The lighting strip is Ambient lighting. You can adjust the color to match the drive mode it’s on in the settings

I bought this exact spec/color two weeks ago, absolutely in love with the car.

Couple things - that is definitely ambient lighting across the dash! You can customize the colors in the settings. Also - the red brace in the trunk is removable!

Traded in my Integra A-Spec for the 24 Elantra N 6MT and loving every single minute with it!!

still loving my 2022 elantra n more every single day.

I love the geometric design that’s what makes the car have character!

I have the 24' DCT and let me tell you this car is a blast!

I would say its not better. But im picking the N everyday or the week.

Probably one of my favorite reviews of this car so far😅you made it actually enjoyable and feel as though I was driving it! Come September I’ll be trying to find myself one🙏🏻

Hi Joe. I have an Elantra N in this exact spec. I've only ever driven SUVs before this and had never had the opportunity to enjoy owning a sports car. The Elantra is by far the most fun I've ever had behind the wheel. Such an amazing vehicle! Thanks for your work on these videos.

I feel like the Integra Type S has the looks and performance, but the price just like the Civic Type R kills it. Hyundai is the best bargain, plus you get a sunroof and a great warranty.

Great stuff as always. I have the 2023 model and love it. Was keen to see what the 2024 model is like. FYI, the blue light strip you spoke about is ambient lighting and you can change the colour if you want, at least in the model I have. And in Australia we have leather seats. No N light, but they are ventilated. As mentioned, it’s a great car for the cost.

Great to hear you Joe have a good time, I know I love my Elantra N 2024! This car is very scarce right now and no dealership is doing any trades with other dealers, so there is mission to find it. However the price is great, dealers sell at Market Value which is a ridiculous $7k mark up above MSRP, but a lil negotiation goes far. Very excited to tune my N these new few months:)

Absolutely love the Elantra N but would never take one over a Type-S if they were the same price. However, the Elantra N is almost $20k cheaper.

Joe! Great review. You helped me decide and I just got the Manual Transmission Elantra N. It doesn't have a sunroof and I don't care! No need for a sunroof when you're busy having an absolute BLAST driving the 6 speed Elantra N! Best car I've ever owned. Amazing feel, amazing drive, amazing everything you get for a great price. This car is fantastic.

Looks sharp ! Love the blue / red and it's a decent price. As always on any car get rid of vortex generators. Are they really worth the gimmicky look ? Thanks Joe

Been sitting on the EN until this video dropped that’s all I needed 🔥

Wish that the piano black zonk piece sticking out left of the digital cluster was actually a mini display showing racing info like torque, g force, coolant/oil temp and else. Would have been so cool and quite practical because there were so much info and data in Elantra N you can access. I didn't like that I kept switching back and forth on the digital cluster to view specific info

Love the videos Mr. Raiti!

Agree. This is a great car, especially for the price!

Went out and bought the ‘22 after your screaming and laughing on throttle that year. Tons of fun. Thanks Joe!

The red calipers and red trim accent the gorgeous wheels nicely.

It’s a nicely designed interior. I think doing a soft touch injection molded plastic on the top of the doors for a softer feel and a leather-ette material on the armrest and dash would have went a long way to make the interior a bit nicer. I think enthusiasts would pay an extra couple hundred dollars for these features if need be. Scrap the “oh crap handle as well, and offer at least electronic adjustments for the drivers seat.

I have a 23 Elantra N DCT Performance Blue. If you haven’t driven these cars you need too! Took mine to the tail of the dragon and back of the dragon and ripped the hills! Everytime I drive this car it puts a smile on my face. Great video! Keep up the good work! Been a long time subscriber

I just purchased a 24 Elantra n dct in cyber grey over the weekend loving this car it’s so gooood. Also Joe keep in mind Hyundai underrates these from the factory. There’s been plenty of dyno videos showing the car putting down its claimed hp/trq to the tire so the actual hp/trq is more like well…bmw. These also need to be octane learned to give the full 19-20psi otherwise they will only put out 15. The difference is like 40hp so it’s no slouch. When these ideal conditions are met with the dct it’s a very quick car. Next video you review on these take a look at the turbo, it’s massive and has plenty of headroom for aftermarket support.

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍

Would you say that the 2024 EN exhaust pops and bangs have been decreased including volume compared to the previous 2023 EN. Great video like always

the refresh front end looks really nice. I'm actually thinking about buying one of these in that same color

Hi Joe, I do love the new Hyundai Elantra N & I think this is a great great car.

Love the new first person view!!!

I wanna know how long you sat there Joe before you realized you left the heated seat on!!!!!

Got that same spec a couple days ago, I love it!

I’m definitely digging that color, but the red on the bottom just right

They Should add a air scoop on the rear of the hood to reduce temperatures and what modifications and tune can you do and how much more hp you can get.

Excellent review Joe.

Sorry but as someone who owned this car this car is not worth it compared to a Honda/Acura product. Elantra N has numerous issues across the board and my car was no exception. Cheap paint, cheap interior, faulty fuel injectors, faulty knock sensors, DCT issues, already seeing electrical issues, faulty exhaust valve springs, trunk separation in warmer climates. Sure, some of the quirks I listed can be repaired but dealing with Hyundai America is the worst experience you can ever have. They simply don't care about customer service which is why they rank last in Customer Service Satisfaction.

Yes of course Joe & I will buy this as my daily.

❤ Thank you Joe and Steven!❤

Awesome rim and tire setup. Blue exterior over red trim looks very nice. Very good stock exhaust setup. Cool and affordable sporty sedan. Is it better than an Integra Type S? Probably not but it isn't bad either.

Hyundai design wise has just evolved so much😮 Who’d have thought? ❤

Joe, it does have ambient lighting!

What’s the difference with the other 2024 one you reviewed

It is a small thing, but noone has mentioned that the tow hook door is different on the 2024. I notice that tow hook door every time now bc between Discount Tire and the dealership, my tow hook was stolen. Always check your tow hook and engine covers when you leave a place where you received service.

When the gas pedal all he way to the floor, it rolls little bit and then takes off. I guess it's programmed this way for wheel hops, tire slips, and save clutch wear. 2024 EN manual is not like this, but at least they reduced some wheel hops on the manual version.

Raiti’s keeping us on our toes. Never know what he’ll do next. On the sidewalk lol

DCT is not bad... but I think manual is better for ElaN. Anti theft + more fun

Raiti talking to his phone's lockscreen

That top of the door panel is hard as a Plastic Rock 😂😂😂

What mpg are you all getting with the 6 speed manual? And how is the clutch and shift feel?

no rear arm rest or real cup holders anywhere in the back.....my kids are making such a mess back there 😭

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="635">10:35</a> That is the cars ambient lighting, it can be changed in the settings of the car!

24,000 miles on my 22 Elantra N, and it always puts a smile on my face

This is my dream car and I pray to one day find one that doesn’t have an insane dealer markup on it

Love my Elantra N, biggest zonks are for sure the hard plastics, my elbows are killing me!

The front looks a lot better than before. Don’t appreciate the road hummer blocking bar across the console.

All it needs is a Superman insignia on the hood 😂

This car is from outer space.. IT IS A SPACE SHIP !

Great value, but I bought an integra type s - one of the best cars I have ever driven with incredible manual transmission. Could care less about sunroofs

The line under the vents is indeed ambient lighting, and the color can be changed to whatever you want. By default its blue.

That dead pedal would get a thumbs up from Shaq.

Hey! I dont know if it is different in the US but un Canada the ambiant lighting have like a 60 color options and its not like "glow in the dark", it's a real light

trying to get this car, but is mark up 5 to 10k everywhere! crazy

Great video! ❤ WRX, Golf GTI, Elantra N, GR Corolla… big competition there. I think type R and type S are superior, they are at different level.

Had a manual 22 N. One of the best cars ive ever driven. Unfortunately the suspension is just way too stiff for my back and so i traded it in for something softer

Love your car video

What is that dead start button for ???

Still waiting on my performance blue Elantra n to arrive 😢

Weird flex parking on the sidewalk 😉

I would love to have nissan do something like this with the sentra. Just a thought

Like how you put the type s on top…

Bro, Michael did not call you, I can see the Home Screen

I have the fluid metal N Line from 22. I got the n line because I hated the front end of the N. I'm trading this in at the end of the year for the new N. Just wish I could get it in the fluid metal color, but that's specific to the n line. That makes me a little sad.

The "oh crap" handle is for your passenger on track.

FYI ... A few weeks ago priced a '24 ELantra N 6MT and the dealer (Rosen in Kenosha) wanted $34.6K (N) + $2K (nonsense paint coating) + $0.5K (nonsense door guards) + T/L/Fees (and wouldn't budge on the price) and it was black so gave it a pass for the time being ...

I have a 22 Elantra N, amazing car for the price. Can get them slightly used for 30-32k. Incredible value

This car is actually bada$$❤❤

Silver key fob comment is on point. I have a loaner Kona N-Line and am ashamed to pull out that remote in public.

Raiti says it's punchy meanwhile at lile <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1260">21:00</a> ettimg passed by a huge transit van lol

Would be an amazing car to own but without AWD in the cold northeast USA it would have to be a secondary car if could!

From a die hard GM performance fan. My Camaro SS 6.2 6 speed is a blast to drive. Loud, big and mean…. This Hyundai really peaks my interest.. it seems like a fun car to just drive. I kinda want one.

I own this exact same car, super fun ride and I’ve owned 70k sports cars
