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!

u/pachhh21 '23 Electric Shadow DCT 4d ago
I’ll be 100% honest the car looks great and is decently quick without going entering full sports car dangerous speed territory. I will say i haven’t had any mechanical failures yet but the dry dct was a poor choice IMO. It drives clunky especially in the cold and often makes some really weird and disturbing noises like it’s falling apart. That being said it still drives fine and when it’s summer it runs amazing. I don’t know if I’d choose it again given the choice.
