Great value performance car

This car is a blast to drive yet gets good gas mileage. It has great style and many features. I however do wish that it could easily sense the use of high octane fuel instead of going through a detailed process that only works part of the time.

elantra N

I love the car, my only complaint is the little thi gs that went wrong. Somehow me seathead rest melted! Been like 5 months and the dealership still hasn't gotten back to me yet about fixing it. For the 2nd time my horn quit working, and the latch to open the truck broke off. The actual driving and look of the car is great but skimping on some of the nonmechanical parks takes away from that.

Best performance for the money by far

I absolutely love my Elantra N. I was looking for something sporty, but practical and I have not regretted my choice at all. Hyundai clearly put in the effort to ensure that this car had true performance shops, and it undercuts the price of its nearest competitors significantly. For anyone looking in this price range for both fun and practicality, this is the perfect car.

Fun, but needs a little more love in the interior

It’s been a fun, reliable car so far. The main downside is the interior build quality. The plastics in the center of the front seating area in particular feel cheap. Lots of creaking and rattling from the center dash and grab handle.

Hyundai Elantra N DCT

The Elantra N is supposed to be a budget friendly performance car. And that's exactly what it is. It's the best "bang for you buck" car (new or used) that you can find on the market. For half the price of a new Civic Type R, you get all the performance, and better technology and features. The only complaints I have with the car are the interior noises such as creaks and rattles, no front parking sensors, and the lack of ventilated seats. Other than that, this car is as close to perfect as you can get at the price point for a performance car.

Greta performance, less than desirable quality

The car is extremely fun to drive, no doubt. The car is a bargain compared to its competition. But after owning it, you can see why. Random bits of the exterior would crack. Regardless of how meticulous I maintained it, something still went wrong. Poor quality plastics on the exterior. Both side skirts cracked on their own. Front bumper cracked. Mechanically, car is meh. Back to back injector failures on the car were not fun. The O2 sensor acting up made it not fun. The high pressure fuel pump failing was not fun. The shaft of the turbo having play was not fun. All before 23k miles.

I love the vehicle and it’s my first ever car and I’d say I don’t regret it. I’ve had the car for almost 3 years now and never had any problems with it at all

Amazingly Handsome and Fun to drive...and has a manual transmission!!!

Never would have thought a turbo charged 4 cylinder could be so much fun. The car is a rocket ship and sounds like no other 4 cylinder around (which is a good think because most 4 cylinders don't sound good) The adjustable exhaust has an amazing growl that is dripping with handsome juices. The power, feeling of the clutch pedal and the throw if the gear box are absolutely amazing. Hyundai truly hit it out of the park..... please keep making manual transmission cars

2023 Elantra N

Love it or hate it front end looks. Wheels are a pain to keep clean from brake dust. The exhaust crackle/pop needs a "turn off" switch in ALL drive modes. The dummy instrument panel needs a dedicated gauge or clock other information screen (like put ALL the warning/caution lights there) rather than litter the gauge section with them. Right now it looks like Hyundai meant to put something there but forgot and said "who cares?". The headliner switches need to be backlit--black switches on a black headliner at night time cannot be found. Also, light the rear door window switches--don't be cheap with LED technology. More charging ports for back seat passengers as well as a/c ducts in the console for them. The speedometer and tach gauges do not go all the way to the screen edge--makes them smaller than they could be for the screen size and tough to read at a glance. Reprogram the GPU to extend the circles all the way from top to bottom. Give users the ability to pick the color of the gauge background, numbers, and pointers rather than three distinct themes--allows for more personalization. Have the car remember ALL user settings upon a restart rather than default to factory settings on some features (like auto creep off or traction control off or starts in "normal" mode). Upshift light does not work in manual mode for the DCT despite owners manual saying it should. Right headlight lights up the sidewalk--not the road. Don't care what is on the sidewalk since I am not driving there--I need the light on the road where the car is going to be in a few seconds so I can avoid hazards & stay safe. Fog lights would add to the car's aggressive looks. Add the sunroof to the 6 speed manual version and you will get a lot more sales of that version since a true "sports" car is always a manual shift transmission--otherwise it is just a "sporty" car with an automatic. When selling the car in snowy climates, put all season tires on the car. Auto lights on feature turns on the lights when I drive under a tree on a sunny day--WAY TOO SENSITIVE and annoying to have the lights clicking on and off all the time (dealer says that level of sensitivity is by design). The confirmation beep for locking the doors is way too soft--needs to be much louder like the Mark 6 Elantra (AD model).

An u-N-believably fun car!

The Elantra N is everything I wanted in a car and more. The aggressive exterior styling always turns heads and the interior design with its technology-packed features keeps me smiling every time I get in. This car makes me want to drive at every opportunity — whether it’s a quick errand or a long road trip. In just 20,000 miles, it has already taken me through 16 states, and every mile has been pure enjoyment. When I was shopping, I considered the Civic Type R, GR Corolla, and WRX. What ultimately won me over was the exhaust note, the bold design, the manual transmission, the tech features, and the fact that it offered all this at a price far more reasonable than the competition. And honestly, in some ways, it’s even better. Hyundai has absolutely nailed it with the N brand. This car proves that performance, fun, and practicality don’t have to come at a premium. This isn’t just a car — it’s an experience, and one that wins your heart every single time you drive it.

Excellent Daily and Exciting Thrills

The car is great if you are looking for an affordable, fun and somewhat unique. Its something you don't see everyday but when you do, its hard not to notice it. As a daily driver, it handles most task like a usual car. Its only when you want to push it, that's where it comes alive. The noise, the speed, the agility, you get all of that in such a affordable package. Granted that does come with sacrifices, the rear passengers don't have vents, nor do they have a center cup holder. The front could use a bit more materials that make it feel more quality, and I personally wish they had radar guided cruise control, since it already came with steering assist. But in the end, the car itself is fantastic, its something you don't expect and that's why I like it.

Elantra N. The N is where it's at!

Love my 2023 Hyundai Elantra N, I had to fly miles away from home to get the performance blue color. And I've never regretted the decision. Love the car. Brings me joy everyday.

Best car for the money, period.

'23 Atlas White DCT. Only got it brand new at the end of '24. I did a TON of research for a new, affordable sports car. I looked at Subaru, Volkswagen, Honda... Nothing fit all my needs until I started watching reviews on the Elantra N. It checked every box for me. It's greatest strength is it's versatility. In Eco or Normal mode it can just be a peppy Elantra. In Sport you get a jolt of energy and responsiveness. In N Mode you get a little beast under the hood. NGS button gives you even more. The DCT sunroof is also a pleasure. Works perfectly. With the warranty and all, I have no regrets.
