The DCT is gurgles and burbles during just regular driving and is very aggressive when throttled hard.

I’d really like one of these, however I sold Luxury cars for 15 years and learned a lot about cars and how much the depreciate over time. I sold Hyundai’s for the last 5 years of my 20 years selling cars. I was with Hyundai when they came out with this model. It was a sales dog at first. Them they got smart and took it off the Accent platform and put it on the Elantra Sport platform with the independent rear suspension! Hiring Albert Bierman was a brilliant idea!!! That man knows how to do performance cars! I bought my wife an Elantra Limited in 2015 before I retired and it has been great! Have only had to do regular maintenance. Never needed that great warranty! New tires, battery, front break pads, wipers and that’s it!! Just past 60,000 miles and all is well! Love my Hyundai! Pugi Hyundai, in Downers Grove, I’ll. Treated my customers like the luxury dealers I worked for the 1st 15 years of my career! Thanks Pugi!

But out of the box stock for stock nothing in class can beat the EN for the price.

Hi Chris love the Hyundai I'm A Fan Of You And The Car

Bro I just bought this same car 5 days ago and I gotta say it's the funnest car I've ever driven. Very quick too. And I'm coming from a 20 challenger scatpack widebody which is also a fantastic car but costs too much to own. Hyundai nailed it with this 2021 veloster n.

We never got the Veloster N in Australia, which sucks because I didn't really care for how the i30N looks, but the stock exhaust note sounds so good. If I ever had to get a bigger car than an ND MX-5 I'd seriously consider one.

Nice video. This is a very exciting car indeed.

Definitely can’t wait to see all of the Veloster N guts put in a Kona. I’ll be really interested in that little rocket!

I got to test-drive the manual months ago alone. Sales guy said, “Keep it under 100.” Holy balls...what a car. Things like interior trim mean nothing once you are moving along. The steering, the tailorability, and the hilarious exhaust made me feel like a child on my go-kart. Does it lack room in the back? Does it have what looks like a lack of maturity in the design? All forgiven. While I can’t justify the $600/mo these days for one, it is still far more appealing than many cars twice the price. DCT must be amazing.

I bought it when it came out but I rather have the DCT so bad. I'm excited to see the mid-engine tho

I like a manual transmission in my daily driver, but for performance, you cannot go wrong with today's modern automatics.

Yep sick!! Keen for the i30 - I need 4 doors

Part of me wishes I would have waited for DCT seeing as I got my 2020 in August, but I don't think even a DCT would be enough fun for me. I love driving a manual. The seats and new infotainment wouldn't be enough for me to get a 21 over a 20.

When you've got your foot down 90% or more, the NPS or 'N Power Shift' engages delivering max power to the wheels with each gear change, so there is absolutely zero torque loss during shifts.

Have you had the chance to drive the 2022 Prototype Hyundai Elantra N ? I'm really looking to upgrade from my 2014 Ford Focus ST that i bought brand new in 2014 ... Absolutely adore the hoonability of the Veloster N; though, being a 24 (turning 25) year old in a professional career - There's the adult in me that'd also love the comfort and luxury that the Elantra N would have to offer.

How does the transmission work when in SPORT or N Mode, as far as shifting throughout the rev range? Is it left entirely to the driver to shift at any desired point throughout the range (as if driving a true manual transmission), or does the onboard computer interfere with driver input at certain revs if no input is detected from the driver?

It's beautiful car's!

just about to order a i30n DCT why do you like the N power shift off? i saw a video and it seems when you have it off or have the transmission in the lowest setting you get DSG FARTS like the gti? but with the N power shift on you dont get them because it does super fast gear changes?
