How does the transmission on the DCT model work when in SPORT or N Mode, as far as shifting throughout the rev range? Is it left entirely to the driver to upshift and downshift 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?

@damienfrizzell9394

2 жыл бұрын

In auto mode you can over ride the dct with paddles but will revert back to auto if you don't make any more shift inputs after a while. Or you can select manual mode where all shifting is down to you.

Hope North America gets a sunroof option for the Elantra N and Kona N. Disappointing omission in the Veloster N since South Korea gets a sunroof in theirs.

You didn't show us if the Elantra has the same spider web style graph as the Veloster n that allows for adjusting dampers, exhaust, steering, engine, trans, E-LSD, and ESC or is the Elantra set up different? How did you skip that??

@@reginaldboyd8665 well I was watching it on my phone and all those adjustments with the three little red bars are in the top right corner. Problem is he mentioned the brake pressure, oil temperature and everything else on the screen and completely skipped discussing the most important part which is all the features that can be adjusted from very comfortable too much more aggressive. I just watched another video viewing the mk8 Golf R from raiti's rides, and he completely skipped the custom screen, so anyone who isn't familiar with the mk7 golf R which I own, they would have no idea that so many different things can be put into either comfort normal or sport settings independently. He had the Eco, comfort, sport, nurburgring, and custom screen open on the infotainment so he could choose what driving mode he wanted and went straight to nurburgring and didn't even click the custom screen to showcase to the potential buyers, what the mk8 Golf R has in terms of adjustability. Does it have an active exhaust? Adjustable dampers, engine, DCT, adjustable levels of the elsd? Adjustable steering? A 26-minute review and not once did he even take three seconds to just open the screen and at least let people see how the screen is laid out and what options can be customized, or while he was driving it, he kept it in nurburgring which is the most hardcore mode the whole time, instead of switching to full comfort to determine if there is a big difference in the steering weight, and the damper compliance and how quiet the exhaust gets etc. Yes at least this guy dad quickly passed by the screen and landed on it for a few seconds, but those 8 different features that have different adjustments is one of the main reasons why you spend an extra $10-12k on the N than a regular elantra. That's one of the N performance line most important highlights and he only verbally mentioned how he can change the tune of the exhaust. Anyway I actually just finished leaving a comment on the review of the golf are not even 5 minutes ago, so I thought your reply was about the MK8 golf R. I was so damn confused for a minute until I realized you were replying to a comment I made months ago, and not three minutes ago LOL. Sorry for the long reply... I was just venting cuz that other reviewer was literally the worst. The car was gorgeous tho in white with the 19in new Wheels! It is so much nicer than my mk7. I tell myself that this one is way too much money, but the fact that it does 0-60 in a blistering 3.9 seconds Stock with launch control and the DCT, when I think about how much money I spent on exterior and performance mods on my mk7 Golf R. It probably would have come out to the same in the end, except that was hitting 60 in 3.5. Problem with the mk8R is the touch capacitive buttons on the steering wheel are always getting accidentally tapped while driving according to every Auto journalists including the heated steering wheel and the heated seats. It's a real problem. Anyway sorry I got off topic. I've got to see an Elantra in person because I love the interior so much more than the Veloster n and I really don't like the exterior of the Elantra N but I may love it if I see it in person so I'm waiting
