- Here are the top 5 things I love about my Hyundai Elantra GT N Line. Some are not so much physical aspects but more experience or emotional aspects. This car has been fun to drive over the last 15 months of my ownership and because car values are what they are I have not lost a penny on the value! It is really very sad consumers let this one become discontinued because it is such a great value.

Just got a 2022 model in Australia. Still seeing them everywhere on the road. The i30 is one of the best selling cars over here.
That's awesome! I wish it was the same case here.
Man, I knew my car wasn't common, but I had no idea it was THAT uncommon.
Cool. :D
I love this thing so much. Been enjoying modding it (waiting FOREVER on a Takeda CAI from Tork... been on "back order" for nearly a month now...), and driving it in normal traffic or on an open road is just ALWAYS a blast.
And oddly enough, I've actually found use for the smaller cupholder. Held stuff a bit more snugly and that's been appreciated on occasion.
Awesome ride Justin. And another great video as usual !
Thanks!
I really fell in love with this car!
I own one of the 2019 Elantra GT N Line cars, as of this date it has 15900 miles with a Takeda cat back exhaust. Tech package and automatic DC trans. Love this car and your great videos.
Love your channel man. Been looking for videos on the GT. I love mine man
Thanks! I love mine too! Amazing car for the money.
Ahh the plug and play info got me excited! I was almost too late the day I came to my local Hyundai dealer. By the time I left with my 2020 N line, there were no more left in my state! This was in September of 2020 and yet I still got it under 25k 👍
I got mine on Black Friday! Somebody else ALMOST nabbed it before me, but he didn't qualify. Last one on the lot, it was there for quite a while.
Phew! I went for the silver color since I'm in the desert. That was gone by the time I showed up. Only 1 black and 1 Intense Blue were left. Intense Blue it is! Such a fun car.
@@Daveedv7k Stellar Silver was my only option, but I happen to really love a good grey/silver (like Kia's Wolf Grey... mmm...).
I did see an Intense Blue Elantra sedan there and man-oh-man does that pop when the sun is low. What a beautiful color; pictures and videos online do not do it justice.
Sill plates came the other day. What an unexpected surprise!! Much love bro. Keep up the great vids.
Also great stat info. I haven't seen one locally yet other than mine wouldn't surprise me if the production numbers were as low as you say.
Yeah the numbers could be higher or lower than what I stated. It was only based on what someone claimed they heard from someone in the know. It doesn't sound too unrealistic considering... Enjoy the I30 N sill plates!
Love the Elantra vids Justin! I own a manual 2013 Elantra GT, so your vids have been super helpful!
Thanks so much! Hopefully you enjoy your car. I have never driven a manual GT.
@@JustinKelly it’s a really fun drive. It makes it feel even more like a go-kart!
Very cool car Justin, I have never seen one. I just bought my first ever non Chevy car - the 2021 Sonata and love it! I'll have to be on the lookout for Elantra GT N line :)
Congrats! Thanks for watching. 🙂
Vary cool car, fluid metal looks extra good on a cloudy day😁
Mine is Summit Gray. 2018-2019's was Summit Gray and 2020's were Fluid Metal. If you thought I had a 2020 from that one video I made... I titled it 2020 to help the views a bit 😉. It really is the same car otherwise.
This is dope. Wondering if you can do a night video to show all the lights appear, project, ect. Overall this car is dope asf.
Some selling points that made me buy a 2018 GT Sport 6-speed manual vs my next option (Base VW GTI) that came standard on Hyundai were:
Leather seating
Dual auto climate W/ rear vent
blind spot monitor w/ rear cross traffic alert
CarPlay / Android Auto
Warranty period
Reliability
Price
What I don't like:
Turbo surge due to stock ECBS during summer days.
Windshield wiper service mode.
Stock Hancock tires
I actually discovered your yt channel through one of your first videos: the rear LED turn signal switch.
Wish Hyundai could just put in LEDs from factory and charge like 50 dollars for it.
Yeah they have not made many cars with full LED's assemblies which is too bad. Factory LED's look great but thankfully it isn't terrible to switch out the bulbs.
The steering wheel is phenomenal I must say
It is very good!
Nice car. I love the European I30 Fastback. it's funny one always wants what they can't have LOL.
i bought mine with the tech package in august 2019 love it and i have about 25K more miles then yours but i love driving it
im a proud Elantra GT N-Line Owner, got it on Summer 2020, best purchase ever made, and is the only one in my city!
It is a fun and unique car for sure!
@@JustinKelly It is!, mine is the panoramic roof version with Heating and Cooling seats. I just love revving it in the morning down to work, it has an awesome sound and aggressive look. every time I look at it, i get more in love with it, and Enjoy it even more.
ahh the I30 hatch
The red piping on the seat edge can wear down around where your butt can slide over it into the seat. Also saw that a guy had that happen on his seat edge where his seatbelt rubbed it. Only thing so far I hate about my 2020. I noticed that the Kona N coming out doesn't have piping on the seats.
Yes, mine started to wear a little where I get in/out of the car. Nothing a little red marker can’t fix.
Don't have the panorámic sunroof like the second generation?
I have a 2020 EGT N-Line... I love it! But I hate that it's so hard to find mod parts for it.
Agreed!
Does it not share them same platform as the Veloster turbo? I guess the layout means parts don't match up?
@@jakereynolds1309 no just the i30 but body mods are slightly different I believe
Do you live in a hot climate? I am looking for heated steering wheel from Canada version...
Can you make a night video to show off the lights?
i love how EVERYONE who has never driven an elantra all wanna talk crap about it because they are TRUE Sleepers they may not be an AMG or M Version like Super LUX Cars but they are in my opinion Way more Fun To Drive haha-
Yay I have another rare car
Justin I have the same n can you tell me how to turn on the little song that goes off in the cluster screen when turning off the ignition also what in you opinion is the best upgrade for extra 🐎
Go into the settings menu in the cluster using the steering wheel controls and I think its called welcome tone or something like that.
Where did you get the strut bar? Wanted it for a while!!
I bought it from someone parting out an I30 N about a year ago. They are hard to find but if you want the V.2 you can buy it here. hyundaizubehoer.de/de/i30-n/209625-domstrebe-hinten-i30n.html
Waiting for the facelift
The facelift looks cool but I think it would be too expensive do complete here in North America... 🙁
I'm super interested in getting this car as I can only find ONE nearby my area, it's gonna be about 23k because of the market right now. Is it a smarter investment to get it instead of an older used car that's marked up more?
Думаю да, это хорошее вложение, если пробег до 30000 км.
Do the seats fold down like the old model to have a completely flat storage space?
Yes, the seats fold however it is not completely flat. The bottom cushion doesn't move to is has a slight angle to the back when folded.
@@JustinKelly Thanks!
I'm getting the 2018 base trim :(
Do you know if the N-Line front bumper will fit the 2018 EGT bumper as a mod?
Yes, it has been done with a GT Sport on the Facebook group. With a base however you'll need to do wiring for the DRL/Turn Signal to make it work properly.
@@JustinKelly Wow, that'd be so cool. I need to join that group to check this out. The non-N line bumper is a bit tame, tbh. Thanks.
Do you have any idea where I can buy the N-Line bumper?
I got my Elantra GT last month, been trying to find one on the road. I only found one on the street so far and non of my friend has seen one. So I wanted to research how rare is this car, but I can not find any information on how rare it is. Is it true that there are only 1K units on road in the US?! Because it makes my car really unique in both good and bad ways XD.
btw, mine is a GT base second-hand from 2017 but a 2018 model with 1k miles. Got it at a whopping $13800 because my family knows the dealer. I love it so far.
There are more than 1k for sure. There is no public data on the Elantra GT sales figures here in the US so outside a very rough guesses there is no way to confirm how many were sold.
@@JustinKelly ahhh interseting, but it is a rare car for sure!
Does this car have launch control like the i30 does
None of the 1.6T cars have launch control anywhere in the world. Only the I30 N, Veloster N, Kona N, and Sonata N Line have that feature so far.
Does the seat have lumbar support? The sedan sport does not and I am looking for something similar that does
Only the power seat in the Tech package. I believe this is the same on the Sport sedan. The 2021 N Line comes standard with power seat in the US which includes power lumbar I believe.
Do you know if the Veloster N has the lumbar support?
@@alex.x.x Yes only with the 2019/2020. I don't think the new performance seats do though.
I might just have to get one of those then. Thank you
How does your modifications affect your warrenty if you still have it after buying the car
Ultimately it is up to the dealer to determine warranty coverage as they are the ones dealing with the parts first hand. Everything I have done should not affect warranty overall but obviously the individual parts I have changed aren't covered.
@@JustinKelly ok thank you
Don't mean to spam lol, but have you looked at oil pan upgrades? I know a couple places provide some options. Apparently a few people have had issues with dry gulp in chicanes or around tight/fast corners. Thinking about nipping that in the bud before I wear my bearings too much or something.
I haven't but it is only a really problem if you are track driving or maybe doing autocross regularly. Even then I know people who autocrossed the car competitively/nationally that didn't have an issue.
Can this beat a Civic SI? Stock vs Stock
Likely depends on the generation and transmission. Stock for stock in a straight line the latest gen Civic SI "should" be incredibly close. The DCT should have a slight advantage. Because the Civic SI has an LSD and adaptive dampers it would likely beat the N Lime around a track or autocross by a slight margin.
Yo gt nline in Canada..
Hey Justin do you want to sell your OEM muffler? I would be interested in buying it from you.
Probably not at the moment. The car will be reverted back to stock when I decide to sell/trade. There are others in the Facebook group that will sell theirs though.
@@JustinKelly can you send me a link to your group please.
@@tedtedness184 You can find it on my channel banner on the channel home page
Try 25k plus now
The market is crazy!
Mine is even rarer I have the tech package
Maybe slightly. According to my data from the Facebook group depending on the model year they account for about 45% of the people who took the survey. This might be a little skewed due to the enthusiasts in the group who chose the manual which only came in the base trim. Only Hyundai knows exactly how many of each they brought to North America.
@@JustinKelly I saw there are n lines with stick shift
@@2002HondaCivicEx-coupe Yes both the GT Sport and N Line came in a manual on base trim.
This is HYUNDAI I30!!! Not elantra...
Same car, different name. Just like the Elantra N is named the Avante N and the I30 N Sedan!!!
