So this is my friend’s Elantra N that he took delivery of around 2 months ago. Tonight I got a chance to drive it and I’m just at a loss for words how incredibly fun it was to drive it. The way the DCT changes gear just makes you never want to drive it in auto and continue spamming the paddles. The tone of the engine is to die for despite being a 4 banger and I noticed that this car seems to be happier in Sports mode and that’s what it was designed around. I heard it before but after tonight it made much more sense to me. I’m in awe of what a machine Hyundai produced. I don’t normally change gears in my own car unless I wanna make the engine roar but we took the scenic road and I subconsciously continued reaching for the paddles to change gears myself. So very satisfying. I got the opportunity to give it some beans here and there and coincidentally two kids (one in a GLE350 and another in a Veloster) wanted to get a go at us (3 grown men) both of whom were promptly taken to the nearest gapplebees.
