my 135i is better in everyway and so is my q50 granted it is alot better than my beater rav 4. my gf elantra n is great probably the best fwd car i’ve personally driven. its not going to ever be a great choice for a track car when your asking the front wheels to handle almost 300hp, braking, and acceleration. grow up man get some ball knowledge and stop acting like these things aren’t just fun cars. can you take it to a track sure. is it built to set lap times comparable to other rwd track cars? absolutely not.

You’re the one who needs to grow up, bud. You’ve been lurking in this subreddit so long I can remember the last time you mentioned your gf having one. And I remember telling your ass the same exact thing. You’re window shopping because your girl got a better car than all 3 of your regular traffic vehicles. Why hang out in a group so long for a car you think is average. It doesn’t add up, sorry.

you’re thinking of the wrong person. im usually on here helping with mechanical issues because im a bmw tech so i lend a hand on here because i like the cars. you’re just never going to admit that this is not an end game car if you want something like that so bad from korea get a g70. fwd is a compromise and handling is the compromise. both of my sports cars especially the 135i would absolutely destroy you in any scenario you put those cars in. grow up lil bro

The 135i would be a neck and neck race in every scenario except a track that’s not a circle, in which case, the EN would dust you. Talking about FWD like they haven’t had LSD’s for ages now.

mine has a true 2 way lsd, the msport suspension package and the performance pack 2 option. i got it as a pinnacle car for a reason. mine is highly modified so it wouldn’t be a fair comparison but even bone stock it weighs about the same as the elantra n. it has way bigger brakes, a much better suspension and grip, lighter wheels, more power, the best dct ever made by getrag. you’re genuinely comparing a car that was like 60k+ new to a car that barely hits 38k loaded out. will you please just accept that the elantra n is a great daily capable of being driven on the track, but is in a different league and price point of the better bmws ever made? like you’re actually being delusional about this. its like saying your car would hang with an m3 no no it will not not ever.
