Buy this Car

Spirited, quick, quirky, comfortable and loads of fun while a daily driver. This car is a bit of a beast but still very friendly. You can use every aspect of the car on a daily basis and you do not need to mortgage your future to do so.

Octane learning ruined my tack day

I sold my 2021 Type-R Limited Edition and bought this as my new daily/track car. This car is almost as good as the type R at everything it does for a bargain. As a daily it’s great, comfy, perfect size and fun to drive. As a track car it is unbelievably frustrating because of OCTANE LEARNING!!! Wasted a whole track session trying to get it to let me use all of the car I paid for with no luck, did my remaining sessions maxed out at 15psi and hitting less stop speed in the straights than I did in my stock 21 wrx. Incredibly disappointing and frustrating. I otherwise love this car but couldn’t recommend it to any of my track/autocross friends for this reason. If that is solved I will likely be a Hyundai enthusiast for life

Generally pleased with the Elantra N

The Elantra N is a perfect car for someone my age. There’s a thin market for performance sedans and it’s a relief to see Hyundai address the budget market.

Dash screen issues

I love the vehicle but I already have issues with the electronics at least than 2000 miles in. The dash screen frequently flickers off after I drive it a couple blocks and stays in a reboot cycle leaving me unable to access my speedometer, or any other important gauges or information.

I love this car

So i have wanted an Elantra N for a few years and test drove the N line and was dead set on it from that point. For the price you cannot beat it in performance compared to other performance sedans like the civic type r or wrx. It’s amazing to drive, comfortable in normal and eco, and drives like it’s on rails in N and sport mode with the bucket seats cupping perfectly to hold you in the seat. Only wish is wireless CarPlay but it’s not the biggest deal because music sounds a lot crisper and louder using just bluetooth

Overall? Not too bad of a car.

I’ve owned my 2025 Elantra N for a few months now, and from what I can tell, it’s got its fun upsides and minimally noticeable downsides. The design of the car as well as its exterior looks are great! The interior is also a really nice performance touch for its price point. The bucket seats and steering wheel are pieces that in a huge fan of. The performance of the car is really great! Its lightweight design and (decently) powerful turbo I4 make it a really great competitor for its class. The active exhaust system is another thing I LOVE that’s in my car and use it almost practically on the daily, I can never get tired of it. The performance brakes are something I LOVE in my car that have saved me a lot from crazy drivers on the road i have to deal with sometimes. The tires that were chosen are a great choice by the N division too! Every turn I make feels confident and smooth. And the NGS button? A very smart idea that I’ve used when I really needed to. Overall, the cars amazing! However… The cars engine feels like it can go more, DO MORE. 300-350 HP should’ve been what it can make instead of 286 temporary with NGS and 276 without. The interior creaks a little if slight pressure is put on it. The whole “Octane learning” thing is something that I understand yet find to be too repetitive. Like I get that it’s for “track use” and unlocks all the power but that’s almost like paywalling a car that you BOUGHT. I’m not saying it should be removed or that it’s BAD, but it should be fixed to be made easier for the car to learn. And the radiator (while being great as is) COULD do a hair better in terms of keeping the engine and oil temp at optimal temperature levels. Of everything I’ve noticed, to me, this is what’s the most important factors I’ve seen in it. Besides that, it’s an amazing car that I feel is really good for its price and performance range. While a lot can be improved on it, it still is a really great car by a company that finally took bravery steps in the right direction. The N division was their smartest move yet.

Fun car, missing features

The car is great. Most fun I’ve had in a vehicle. The car should have came with features other markets get like auto folding mirrors, heated steering wheel, sunroof for manuals, and so on. I really feel like Hyundai dropped the ball on the US version and if I were to do it over again I’d go with a Genesis G70.

I hate forced default settings!

Great car! BUT, I wish Cars would stop trying to force us to accept default settings when I switch off the car! If I switch off Forward Collision I want it to STAY OFF!!! why does the car rob me of my setting decisions every time i re-start it?! Your Cooperate lawyers are not driving my car I AM. Respect my choice to turn them off. My old Acura 2016 ILX kept it off when I turned it off. STOP DEFAULT SETTINGS, I CAN CHOOSE WHAT TO TURN ON. WORST? I CANT TURN OFF FORWARD ASSIST WHILE THE CAR IS MOVING?! WHY NOT?

The fun to drive Elantra N

The car has a buttery smooth transmission and terrific acceleration when needed. The competition blue color is unique and has already caused many people to comment favorably on the sporty nature of the vehicle.

Love and dislike

I absolutely love my car but I can’t get used to the seats. They are made for racing not for everyday use. It has hard sides on the bottom seat and back. It gets really hot because it hugs you and no air gets through

A true drivers car and my favorite so far!

The 2025 Hyundai ELANTRA, and is one of the best vehicles you can buy for the price point. I had a great appreciation for the vehicle. Even before I purchased it, I understood what it was and what’s kind of market it was supposed to attract, and I was one of those targets. The driving experience in this vehicle is excellent and this new generation with the face lift is just looks absolutely stunning. Realistically, I only have two complaints of the vehicle, that being that whenever I set my N steering wheel buttons to my preference, the revert back. It’s a little annoying but not sure if it’s my biggest complaint. Second, I have the manual transmission ELANTRA N, and sometimes I have a issue where my gear shifter won’t go into first from neutral. I have to put the car into second before I can reengage it back into first. It’s the only way it lets me into first. This doesn’t happen often, but when it does, it can be very annoying.

Genuinely cannot beat this car for the money.

I feel like saying this car is a great value does it a disservice because, while that’s true, this car more than overshoots its immediate price bracket competitors and challenges the likes of the Civic Type R and GR Corolla, cars with the backing and heritage of Honda and Toyota. Where those cars don’t succeed, however, is the raw fun on a daily basis that this car provides out of the box. Almost every car I’ve ever had, whether it was a performance compact or a sports car, required modifications to get the “theatrical” emotion from driving (with induction and exhaust noises). The Hyundai N cars, however, are the first cars I’ve owned where I did not need to make any immediate modifications to the exhaust or intake to enjoy the sounds and thrills of a well-tuned powertrain. This car is a reminder of the joy of driving and I hope to see the N brand and its ethos continue on for decades to come.

A rare daily driver blending practicality and performance. Thank you.

First Hyundai. This car delivers a great combination of practicality, decent fuel economy, and an engaging driving experience. Tremendous fun. I didn't think anyone made cars like this anymore. Sincere thanks to people behind the N. You built something special.

Fun Car Ruined by "Safety" Features

The Elantra N looks sleek and stylish and it handles nicely being very quick and responsive. I could forgive the loose panels if it wasn't for the Driver Attention Warning. After an hour of driving this thing will start beeping non stop. It doesn't matter if you're driving in a perfectly straight line it will still beep at you ev3ry couple of minutes. Its loud and distracting and forces you to take your eyes off the road. I've combed through the manual and online forums and this thing cannot be turned off so long rides are miserable AND unsafe! Modern cars are over computerized and it ruins them. Do not buy the 2035 Elantra.
