Elantra N - An awesome car
I've owned this car for a year, 15,000 miles. No problems. One recall for DCT; done in an hour. I did have to update the Navigation software as I had a known instrument cluster warning ("Uneven Road") that was persistent. I did it myself. Bad thing was I lost the "tube" radio display for a more conventional display. Car is used as a daily driver, 50 miles per day. Average about 28mpg. Easily get 35mpg highway. Been on track twice: SCCA Starting Line (AutoX) and SCCA Track Night. Car performed awesome, no issues. PS4S tires held up well. Track gas mileage? Oh man, about 8mpg. But the thing rips. I find the car comfortable, love the seats. It is a bit low, so i kind of fall into it and use my elbow to leverage myself out. Interior is excellent. Buttons for everything so no reliance on touch screen. No issues driving in snow (with dedicated snow tires). I do use the recommended 93 octane gas, so that can get a bit pricey, but not an issue for performance. Ability to go from a quiet, daily commuter to a pop-and-crackle track car is just awesome, especially for the money. Styling is polarizing; I think it's great. My car is Performance Blue and I get compliments all the time. Great car.
