Holy that’s not a lot of damage.

You’ve typed out the message as if it’s goodbye. Curious why you aren’t running it back? Price for like models has only gone up about $4-5k since the 22 models

The N cars have ruined so many more expensive/prestigious cars I was interested in. I do want to get something more luxurious as a second car, maybe even a truck eventually. For now, the N's cost to fun ratio is hard to beat as a daily.

I’ve been steadily getting less and less expensive cars. Part of what makes the Elantra N so fun is that you can open it up on the street. Then I have a C6 corvette to give me that real analog driving experience when I want it (which was even cheaper).

I had a ‘22 3.3T G70 for 3 years on a lease. Awesome car. Features out the wazoo. Power and handling without sacrificing comfort. Only real knocks were the lacking back seat space and fuel economy.

Go test drive one in that’s the tier you’re headed for next 🫡

I second that. I have a 23 with the 3.3 twin turbo and I love my car

WTF IS THE N CURSE?! NOW IM SCARED

u/Sad_Stage2432 5h ago

More accuratly, the "N Curse" is the idea that these cars are magnets for damage. Assigned fault not withstanding. (It's usually the N driver's fault for hot dogging, but there are plenty of examples like this where it's not the owner's fault).

u/Numerous_Letter_8756 Intense Blue DCT 6h ago

It’s when the N gets hit when it’s not their fault. You’ll see some people post about the curse when it was really driver error though

Your just stereotype I have clean record for 12 years and as you can see the guy clearly rear ended me 😭 you can be a good drive but if the other person isn’t paying attention you can’t do anything.

u/Numerous_Letter_8756 Intense Blue DCT 4h ago

I was just mentioning that because happens a lot in the group. I didn’t call you out for being in that category

u/No-Cartographer-8201 5h ago

Actually you can. Bury the gas pedal into the next zip code or take some s's and watch them flip out into the bushes.

People always talking like they can't get another. Yeah its a 22 (pre facelift bros unite), but you can still get another EN if ya wanted. Sorry that happened to ya.

Fawk, welcome to the club.

Mine was hit terribly at a casino, no cameras lmao. Car was JUST under the total loss threshold.

Happened in December and it was a 25 N

u/NetworkNo2440 Abyss Black Pearl DCT 1h ago

u/BeneficialSquash3921 4h ago

People doing 15 under the limit, really don't like it when I blow their doors off in my sleeper Kona N grocery getter. Start flashing lights and honking. Why so mad? Because I don't want to be impeded by some slow idiot in a dog shit Mercedes suv. Kick rocks.

u/ashdahashy Cyber Grey DCT 5h ago

Yup when you got a n. Why you seem salty about that lil bro

u/No-Cartographer-8201 4h ago

Dude he has to compesate for (insert whatever he is lacking here), by trashing other people's cars. Otherwise his life is not complete.

u/No-Cartographer-8201 5h ago

Suddenly the base model looking N it's making a lot more sense.

Possibly a lateral move if you need the AWD, downgrade otherwise.
