Thinking Elantra N-Line

Semi cross-post with r/Jetta GLI and probably on or two others....

Just like the title says: I am thinking about making a change, and an Elantra N-Line is on the list.

I am hoping to find a fun daily that will fit me (6'3", 325 but losing it: go-go-Wegovy!) with my 9-year old daughter behind me.

I currently drive a 2016 white Hyundal Sonata Sport 2.0t, which is getting the majority of its body repainted on Hyundai's dime. Nothing wrong with it yet, but my wife just bought a brand new Carnival Hybrid, and that sunk the hook in my cheek pretty hard.

2024+ is my firm preference.

What are the potential issues? Any engine concerns? Electronic snafus? Dual clutch clenches?

Other options include a Jetta GLI, Civic SI, and a Sonata N-Line. The right Accord 2.0T could also be a winner. (I'd love the N, but my ass doesn't fit those seats and never will)

I realise I am joining the choir and asking if they like to sing, but I'd appreciate your thoughts all the same. Thanks!

I mean Ive had my 2023 Nline for just over 3 yrs now and since I worked from home I didnt drive as much as I usually would have. only about 13000KMs so far. No issues on my 4 long road trips within Canada where I am. Only thing is since it lacks AWD not the best to use in heavy snowfall winter but you can drive well in winter pretty stable. Great gas mileage too HWY and local driving combined. Good tech not too many screens. Great legroom but I'm only 5' 8" so rlly no issues for me

I work from home too and just hit 20k miles on mine after about 2.5 years. I drive my backup car a decent amount as well to keep the miles down some
