The DCT version of this car has over 300HP. They dynode it and it had 280HP to the wheels! True performance machine

Honestly the best part is the 10 year / 100k warranty, especially on a performance product. If I bought one I would make sure I keep it completely stock , go to dealer for oil changes etc, basically give them absolutely zero reason to void your warranty and then just ride it out for years

Hey Joe, I bought the DCT model in Cyber Gray and could not be more impressed with the handling and feel when driving this car. The instrument cluster is well laid out and driver friendly. And then there's the SOUND! I turn heads on the road in N mode, and people look startled that it's an Elantra. I am so happy with this car, that I can not even begin to describe the joy of driving it, especially the handling on corners. The tires grip the road like you are glued to it, truly an impressive vehicle. Considering the price, this is hands down the best value for a mid level performance car out there. Loved you video and keep up the great reviews that you post!

I have taken mine of track and I was blown away with how it handled. No complaints about the brakes, plenty of braking power and little fade. I was the same pace as a Mégane RS 300

Just seen one of these today, they sound even better in person

Just came from a certain reviewer named Doug's review back to your stuff. Got a sub from me, so much better of a reviewer, you're truly impartial

Bought mine 3 weeks ago. Love it!

I feel like this car is an underrated gem. Sure it might not have as good of a build quality as the big boys, but on the other hand you can actually get this car and not have to break the bank. Because you KNOW the dealership is charging $10~15k over MSRP for a Type R / GR Corolla / Golf R.

@khronin

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.

Very nice 🚗💨 I just could not buy a Hyundai when I was looking into these I wound up getting the 2019 Honda Civic SI.. the Honda is way under powered but it also got 30-42 MPG consistently with that little 1.5T depending on driving & it was tuned with drop in k&n air filter, exhaust & tune. Now I drive a 22 Tacoma with a 6-speed manual & get about 17 MPG & 20 if I'm lucky lol.

I have 15K miles, plus time on the NCM track in Bowling Green. I have a Lap3 Stage 1.5 ECM in place of the factory, which adds about 50HP. Stupidly easy to install. Plus PowerFlex engine/transmission mounts which cut down wheel hop and further stiffen the amazing chasis. The car is a rocket yet totally streetable on 93 octane. Gotta watch for Johnny Law cuz it's tempting to drive like you're racing all the time! BTW, NO brake fade on the NCM track. I'm old (73) but I love driving fast. Totally recommend the NCM track experience. 2 days, 5 20 min runs per day. 6 if you are up to running in the "open" session. 4 levels: Novice up to Advanced.

I just bought a 2023 intense blue 6-speed manual Elantra N. I got it for MSRP with the best warranty in the game. I didn't love the exterior, but it grew on me. This car drives like a $40,000 car in N mode and can be comfy enough to be a daily driver with all of the equipment turned down. I was surprised to get a very reasonsable rate on insurance, due to all of the safety features. 276 horses with burbles, turbo whine, and E - LSD performance at a slightly better price point than the 200 hp Civic SI - that local stealerships are scalping. The Elantra N compares to the Civic Type R for a much lower price. Definitely the best unnecessary purchase I ever made.
