You and another youtuber convinced me to get mines a few months back in red 2023 model. I'm not gonna mod only change the exhaust out, I've been loving it so far. Awesome video and can't wait to see your next new car!!
@@Jcrash1 I took both of them out much deeper sound and better burbles. Im having a system made to my specs but just wanted to do the resonators first for the fun of it. in normal or eco its sounds regular but sport it sounds good just no pops but N mode it sounds nice.
Volvo EX30 AWD was something I was looking at before I decided I'll just keep the car till it dies unless the id.2all GTI/R comes to America. It's still small but slightly bigger then the Kona N and really fast. I find it also happens to look really sleek.
Thanks for posting the video. I considered the Kona N in 2022 and regret not buying it. While I understand you are driving a lot of miles, I am surprised at the number of sets of tires you have gone through. Is it due to aggressive driving, something with the car, or something else? I have the DSW06 plus on my daily driver and they have about 30,000 miles on them and I expect another 20,000 or so.
Hey, thanks for the comment. The original set of tires I had were pirelli p zeros and they’re well know for having trash tread life. The dws06 after those were great but they probably didn’t last long due to the fact that I went to the drag strip with those but also due to just aggressive driving in general. I feel like these N cars or any sports car for that matter will run through tires if you’re a spirited driver
@@RobTheNthusiast Thanks for the explanation. I anticipated the original tires to not have a long tread life since they were summer performance tires. The DSW06 is an all season tire that would have lasted longer without the aggressive driving. I am surprised that you did not stick with summer performance tires given your driving style.
@@Andrew-zs5tc no problem! So generally speaking, summer performance tires are a lot more expensive than all season performance tires. But, I am currently using Firestone firehawk Indy 500 tires, for a summer tire they are really good in cold temps.
Have you had any issues with the knock sensor while washing the car i took mine to a self wash and had the knock sensor code pop up and put my car in limp mode any suggestions
@@relaxedsloth9227 I have not had this issue surprisingly but from what I’ve heard, it is really common for the Elantra and Kona N. I’d suggest taking it to the dealer, they usually get it fixed pretty quickly
So I went to gen racer’s website and bought the motul high torque fluid that’s specifically for the wet DCT. I went with the high torque fluid because of my car having JB4
@@RobTheNthusiast I’m going to use that as well, how long was the service at the dealer? And was there any difficulty for them that they told you about?
@@fpsreese the service was 1.5-2 hours. The first dealer I went to refused to do it because they didn’t want to “contaminate” their machine with aftermarket fluid 🙄 So I ended up going to a rural dealer about an hour away and they took care of it with no issues.
@@gionieves2646 yeah same here, I just want something with more space. The Kona is one of the smallest 4 doors I’ve ever owned, so it’s been an adjustment but I still want a little bit more room to stretch out haha
10:58 "I do wish it was a little bit bigger. I like that the new Kona N is bigger." I think you meant to say that the new (2025) Kona N Line is bigger, but that car is now based on the KIA Seltos platform. The N Line only offers a 1.6T engine that maxes out at 190 hp and 195 lb-ft of torque linked to a conventional 8-speed, torque-converter automatic transmission. If Hyundai does wind up offering a true Kona N for 2025, its most likely to be an electric car. 😥

I’m glad to hear that I played a part in helping you choose the Kona N. I’m sure you’re having a blast with it
This last weekend I had the resonator taken out of my Kons N a good improvement in sound.
@@cindysue5474 nice! Hope you’re enjoying the sound
@@cindysue5474did you take out 1 or both? And how is it different in normal mode?

Nice video! I just had my fuel injector go out at 35k miles.... hopefully this won't be a common trend
Sorry to hear that man! I’d definitely recommend a few things to help out with that. Message me on instagram.
Dang thumbnail quality level up. I see you!
Thanks bro! You came in clutch with the suggestion 🤙🏽
It looks very professional, Kudos

Nice!! Yeah I agree that’s a good vehicle
@@RobTheNthusiast Well Rivian just revealed the R3X recently and It's top of my list. If they produce it, I will definitely trade for it.
@@carloscervantes836 yeah it’s definitely on my list too! We’ll see how they price it, just wish it had CarPlay
Can you discuss your Axel issues in more detail?
So the right axle boot was found to be leaking the first time. The second time both axle boots were looking, it was covered under warranty each time.
How did you know they were leaking?
@@klasseact6663 dealer found greasy residue near the axles

Do you know which DCT gear fluid they used for the transmission flush?

FYI yes you can fit baby car seats and stroller in the trunk...LOL
I’m sure it does but it’d be a tight squeeze. Rear facing seats take up a lot of space, doesn’t leave much room for the front passenger
@@RobTheNthusiast true but I made it work just fine. Either way I do like the EN alot.
