I really like the direction with Hyundai and the N model's. But this N so far seems to be the one to get. Another great video!

I love this car how it performs and sounds and for the money it’s a no brainer. It’s been developed in Germany at the Nurburgring hence the N designation.

Plus it is ready to track pretty hard out of the box. It would dominate the others right off the lot. I think that's one of the big selling points for me but the N may not be the best if you never want to drive it hard.

Just imagine if it had AWD or Tuscon had this engine-gearbox combo 👌

I just love this couple!! and their hard work to provide us with so much information on all these vehicles! There’s no way we can be confused when making a decision to purchase.

The higher ride height slightly softer, less boy racer, crossover Kona skews younger? OK. Good vid none the less.

I love my EN, the price is perfectly set right in between the Gti, Si and the Type R, Golf R. There was a void there and Hyundai is taking advantage of it

Well done . I would love a three way comparison of your alternatives where you guys balance the use case and trade-offs of each model.

Great review. Is the wheel hop and issue? Living in the Pacific NW I'd hate to have the front keep shuddering on damp days uphill.

Definitely Elantra N over Kona N. Even if I am a hot hatch fun, its still better in a sports compact sedan than a SUV with sporty character. Its a pity we don't get the i30N and i20N as ROW does.

Kona N is easier to get into and out of. The higher ride height is better in snow climates. And, you can actually carry more types of things in the Kona. Hyundai has much better reliability and warranties than VW. You can average much higher mpg at lower costs, even in the city, but using top tier regular gas and staying off the turbo. I own the Kona N, and get 30-34 mpg using smart driving technics. 🧐🤗 Another great review, and Andrea once again color coordinated her wardrobe. 😇👍

It doesn’t have better reliability than VWs, don’t see Hyundais driving 300-500k km on original parts unlike VWs, and definitely not still looking brand new without wear and tear.

Years ago when a couple of chief designers at Audi /VW were hired by the Koreans I knew that the brands would be reinvented

Hi Andrea and Zack, I couldn't find a comparison between the Buick Envision Aveniur vs Mazda CX5 Signature your playlist. It would help me a lot to make a decision. Thanks

The Elantra N Line I think has the drive mode button on that empty space of the screenon the left. Anyway its been a month with my N and I love it. I am not too sure about taking it on long road trips only because of the bucket seats, the lack of lumbar support can get annoying during long drives. The back seat has plenty of leg room. Gas mileage is great, I've managed to get 7 lt / 100 kms by driving it in normal mode for regular drives, there are some who've managed to get even better gas mileage. This is a very practical daily driver that can transform into this monster with the switch of a button, kind of like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hide :D

My daughters say the side of this looks like a bus backed up into it.

Love that unapologetic front 😍 @6.16: that circle eye thing is magnetic... For your PHONE

I personally like the standard Elantra styling. A futuristic, aero dynamic shape with(what I think is) elegent styling. Citroen-esque minus the crazy stuff inside the car. The worse thing about them is the grill, which isn't that bad. The N makes it meaner, without going overboard. I say kudos to Hyundai for styling. I think I would go for dct Elantra is I had to choose between those two. The Kona is nice, but I like the sedan handling more for a fast car. On a side note a guy I watched on yt years ago had Dodge aries wagon with a 2.4litre turbo engine. He installed a dishwaher delay switch to keep the waste gate closed for 10 seconds. He said it both a fast and reliable workhorse car.

I love the dual clutch I have in my RS3 which I also had in my 07 GTI. Its far better than a regular transmission.

I’m a Honda fan for two very different and strong reasons but I’m going to choose this car over a Type R and Integra Type S. That wet DCT and NGS are basically gold.

What do you think about the fuel consumption, compared to the power and own weight?. 🤔

I've never understood why people want a power seat in a sporty car. Manual is so much faster & how many people are you really going to share your Elantra N with? Also my short father just had his power seat fail in his Ridgeline in the lowest position & they can't get the parts to fix it & the cheapest they can replace the seat is over $2000 CAD.

Nice video. The interior looks great...I personally don't care for the exterior design at all.

Looks like you’re in Niagara-on-the-Lake? At least some photos looked like it. I’ve been a Toyota guy for 27 years and owned/leased 10 new Toyotas during this time. I just can’t bring myself to look at any other vehicles at the present time. Both Kia and Hyundai have made some and great improvements and leaps forward in technology, but I am still very leery of their long-term reliability. I’m afraid my next vehicle will be another Toyota. Believe it or not I’m looking either at my third Sienna van or I might even consider a new Corolla Cross Hybrid, when they become available here in Canada. As I get older I am considering a bit of a downsizing in my vehicle footprint.

I own the base model Elantra with the 6 speed manual, which I love driving. The N would be more fun to drive with the manual transmission IMO, but with the current price of fuel, I'll stick with my 5.5 L/100km at 113 kph (70 mph) highway cruising. Yes, I'm getting better fuel economy than what the EPA estimated.

I hope these N models will make other car manufactures step up their game. Can’t seem to find any at local Vancouver dealerships.

My '21 Elantra, now if I had gotten the Jetta or Civic I would be absolutely saying, "no no .. look to history and old fashion and conservative is what people eventually will respect more" .. but I got the Elantra and was scared to look at it for a month because of what all the other brands said about the look of it .. too futuristic, do you want to drive a space ship. Well I have been getting more and more compliments, which is the opposite of what usually happens; even a big black truck stopped as I was drying and said, "that is a very slick looking car, what is it .. Hyundai .. and he said it just stands out as something a leap ahead"; and my brother heard two kids stop and talk and one asked what it was and his friend said, "well imagine a Hyundai and a Lamborghini had a baby .. this is the result" .. so not sure if a compliment but certainly people are noticing it.
