Great straight to the point video and montage. I always enjoy your content. Glad you're still enjoying your EN. I am waiting and weighing my options on my next vehicle. The EN is the front runner so far.
Hey bro, I feel like this video made it super clear how far you've come in the quality of your content and editing - it was awesome! Keep up the great work man!
You are going to love the Bridgestone Blizzacks! I had to buy them back in ‘03 to put on my 03’ G35 sport coupe because after the first snow in northern Illinois the Michelin Pilot sports that came stock were basically like skis. The blizzacks provided crazy amount of grip in 6” of fresh snow. They’re pretty good on ice too. But with you living in Michigan, I’m probably preaching to the choir. I now live in southern Mississippi on the gulf coast so the stock performance tires will be great all year.
Great vid as always entense!! Yea I’m still on the fence if I want the ppf. Right now I reserved to get a few layers of ceramic coat, kind where it takes 4 days. My N is due in 2 weeks. This place doesn’t do ppf. But I’m wondering if I should. The ceramic coat is mostly for cosmetic I’ve been told. But Ive also heard ppf can discolor over time and bubble. Plus it a lot more expensive. Ceramic coat is $1100. I’m hoping the ceramic provides some sort of protection. But nowhere near as good as ppf for chip protection.
Hyundai paint has already been junk imo. I had a 2014 Genesis coupe and it had some faded spots from the factory and about 3ish years down the road I was powerwashing it and the Clearcoat on the front bumper literally blew off. Terrible quality. My 95 bronco still looks fresh as all heck in comparison.
100% agree on your likes and dislikes. I have a love-hate relationship with the front seats lol. Anything under 30 minutes I love them, anything over 30 I start hating them. While they do their job perfectly to hold you in place, trying to move around in them to stretch or take pressure off my outer thighs from the bolsters is challenging. Still such a great car though!
Dude, great video but this car is so different in Australia! 1. The seats are not the same, completely different - very comfortable and fully ventilated with air and heated functions. 2. The rear passenger seat has a pocket and there is air vents in the rear centre console! It's insane how slightly different this vehicle is from your perspective. I will put together a video of my experience on the Australian end soon, loving your content, keep up the great work mate!
Nice recap B and teaser for the new winter wheel/tire setup. We’re pretty much identical in cosmetic mod list (minus the logos). Can’t wait to see your performance additions, lower motor mount done but since it’s waiting on a tranny replacement now, my boomba short shifter plans on hold. Ugh. Keepin’ it fresh here as always man, lookin’ out for the next! ✌🏽🤙🏽
Spot on! Love the content. I purchased those emblems after watching your video....putting them on tomorrow. Need a heat gun and some fishing line. Those stock emblems are on really tight. The seats!! I love them but sometimes find them a bit too much. I'm jealous sometimes of the auusie market with those heated/cooled seats and rear vents. They get hot! But still love the seats :-). Next mod for me is the mud flaps, brake light and some 18s for winter here in Philly. Ill be sure to referenceyour videos when i go to install. Really enjoy the content.
I will be getting my Elantra N finally on September 17th in cyber gray and wanted to see if I can get advertisements or sponsors on the car like my old Porsche to get some extra money and also get a nice custom wrap job to go with it to protect the paint and have a different look. Hopefully will be adding some of the mods you added on yours.
I think the paint chipping issue unfortunately happens to all new Hyundais and Kia’s. I’ve owned my K5 GT in wolf grey for about a month and the paint although it looks gorgeous it’s water based (from what I was told) and thin as hell so just normal highway driving I find more and more chips as time goes on.
Hey man, good stuff! Watched quite a few of your videos before and after buying my 22 Elantra N. Anyways, i don't see a link for the mud flaps, and all i can find are the ones that say Rally Armor. Where can I find them? Thanks!
I agree with you about the seats giving the perfect performance look! But after my first few weeks Daily driving the car I find Them to be to narrow in the upper back/shoulders I’m not a large dude I’m 5,9 180lbs. Wondering if I’m the only one struggling to be comfortable in them for longer drives
Paint chipping is a problem with all the cars and trucks I own. Maybe slightly worse with the "N" but I blame the roads and truck traffic more than the paint. Just take a look at your windshield. I'm about 6 1/2 months and 7k miles and I couldn't agree more. This car is a blast to drive. I have fun wherever I go and sometimes I just drive for the hell of it. Like Hyundai's "N" logo says... "Never Just Drive".
I have a couple chips in the windshield as well, but it’s just such a common problem for EN owners with all these rock chips. Just unfortunate that the paint will be chipping away more and more as time goes on.
I almost pulled the trigger on this beast. It's just too uncomfortable for me. I'm a skinnier guy but I enjoy long drives and road trips. Ended up going with Sonata Limited. Was going to go N Line sonata but no LSD didn't seem worth getting 290 hp if I can't put it down.

until there is a dyno out pre learning and post learning I don’t think anybody can confidently say there’s a major difference in power. it’s all anecdotal butt dynos so far.
I guess my questions to Hyundai are; Why is it even in the manual? Why do the boost and torque numbers increase? What’s the point? Lol. Just seems silly to even have that programmed into the car if it doesn’t make a difference. The manual also clearly states if you use 87 gas that you may have decreased power. I’m a firm believer it makes a difference, but as you said already we won’t know without the actual dyno numbers. And NOT from someone who is tuned.
I have full front PPF in the front of my FK8 But just started to notice a chip on the paint coming off on the rear side, sucks but regardless of it being there top performance cars, there still Honda, Hyundai quality 😭😩
What do you think of the Kia K5 GT? Is nearly the same price if not 37k fully loaded with cooled seats, 360 camera, addaptive cruise and better interior and is just as fast and I feel looks a little better if not the same overall
K5 GT is a great option as well. It was on my list of cars before I decided to get the EN. The K5 GT struggles to put the power down with the 2.5T, and it’s a bit on the larger side. Perhaps more tech, but I personally like the interior of the EN better, a bit smaller of a vehicle and better in the performance category.
Do Hyundai dealers have a fix for the seat belt recall yet? I have a 2021 Elantra Limited in the same intense blue color that you have. I like it very much especially the driver centric instrument cluster and the horizontal light bar at rear of the car when viewed at twilight.
They do have a fix, basically they cap it somehow to restrain the device from any potential damage. However there is a second recall now for the N models that only effect 247 units with an airbag issue, and of course I’m one of them 😂
Wouldn’t getting an aftermarket tune eliminate this octane learning garbage? Typically stage one and stage to tunes require 93 octane so if it’s tuned for that octane level the learning aspect should go away correct?
To be completely fair and honest with you, I’m not sure. I believe there is still a debate on this, but perhaps someone else that has more knowledge on this could chime in.
They definitely do. I vape so they work really well for that when you want to crack the window. Only downside I’d say is they cause a little wind noise at highway speeds.
For under 40k the Nissan Maxima is excellent, only downside being the cvt, although it’s actually not that bad in this car. Loads of power and a super smooth drive, with loads of room in the car
Well, all of it honestly 😂 I have rock chips on my front bumper, hood, one fender, and even a couple on the doors. It’s brutal. Plus, I’m only at 2300 miles.
Nice and quiet. Road noise in general with this car is loud, however our recent long road trip with this car was nice and peaceful. Used eco mode the whole time.

The paint chipping would seem like a big problem down 2 yrs. Some protective film for the hood, front bumpers and fenders seem like a good fix for it
I do regret not doing it now. And I agree, I wonder what it will look like in a few years.

I already chipped paint yesterday rock taped hood during draft pass think I'm just gonna wrap it now
Yeah it’s bound to happen. I would love to wrap the whole car.
I will be getting my Elantra N finally on September 17th in cyber gray and wanted to see if I can get advertisements or sponsors on the car like my old Porsche to get some extra money and also get a nice custom wrap job to go with it to protect the paint and have a different look.

Worth looking into if you’re cool with the decals they put on it 👌🏻
My odometer is the same as yours after 1 month of ownership, maybe I should ease up 😬

Nice looking N and mods. What fuel does it take? 87? Or premium? 🤔
Thanks! You can use 87, but if you want optimal performance 91/93 is highly recommended
I have full front PPF in the front of my FK8
But just started to notice a chip on the paint coming off on the rear side, sucks but regardless of it being there top performance cars, there still Honda, Hyundai quality 😭😩
It’s a shame how they cheap out on the paint quality, I wonder what these cars will look like in 10-15 years
It’s weird our different the Australian one is, we get leather ventilated/ heated seats, rear air vents, different name, heated steering wheel
The US model gets so much less, it’s unfortunate
Where ya get the floor mats?

This is the type of car you lease, beat the pulp out of, and move on. At the end of the day it's a hyundai
I don't like the look of this car...the front looks weird
You must be a small person, cause I'm a big man and those driver seats suck 🤮
5’9” and 220. They’re a bit snug even for me. But just end up making me really hot on the longer drives.
