r/ElantraN

Is anyone else having issues with their phones overheating while on the charging port? I have an iPhone-16 Max Pro. I keep getting a message that my phone is hot and when I put my hand down in the area of the charging port and my actual phone, it is ridiculously hot. It was not even that hot here in Jersey when I first noticed it. It has now happened on hot days, but, when I have the air cranked in the car. It does not seem like it should be doing this... any suggestions? I even took the case off to see if it would happen, and it still does it.

I’m interested in getting a Billetworkz shift knob and I like the of this “fusion” one. I can’t find much online of EN owners’ experiences with it.

Anyone on here used one before?

I'm contemplating doing either the sonata or genesis hpfp upgrade on my stock car. Once in a while I'll get a sputtery start and it kind of bugs me.

I'm wondering if anyone has done this upgrade and noticed stronger starts and perhaps some performance upgrades on their stock car? Thanks!

Looking to hopefully get a 2026 N soon!! Im in the socal area and am tryna see who I should go with for the cheapest insurance. I heard some treat the N as a regular elantra and its cheaper. Can anyone give me some advice?

I currently own a 2021 genesis g70 3.3t rwd with 420 hp and 500 tq. stage 1. It is so much fun, but the reliability is killing me. I'm only at 50k miles

Radiator last week, now my evap core went out this week. Transmission is leaking. Diff bushings are cracked. tension rods are shot. window motor is faulty. the list goes on.

Should i sell my car and buy an Elantra N? How is the reliability? Any tips on miles or what to look for etc? I want the DCT not the manual. Will I not like the fwd after having rwd?

I'm looking for a reliable car to have for the next 2-3 years

Basically please convince me to get one and help know what to look for, unless i shouldn't get one...

As somebody who’s looking to buy an EN, is there anything added in the ‘24+ facelift models that make the older ones NOT worth it, or should I consider them all equally as someone coming from a ‘24 Forte GT and just wants an upgrade?

Edit: These replies help a lot and as someone who just wants to daily drive it and do a couple mods before going off to college with no intention to track it right now, I think I’ll go with a ‘22-23 as I prefer the PFL look anyways.

Second edit: Bit of a budget change (now 27k) and watched the savage geese video multiple of you recommended and I’m pretty sure I’m sold on a FL. Although if I can’t find a good one within my price range I’ll still get a PFL.

I bought my Elantra N manual brand new.. watched all the fabulous reviews… love the car very much but two things really really bugged me about it

1. The octane learning rubbish.. I’ve read about it and tried every which way to make it learn.. in almost 4 years no success… maybe once on a long drive on highway I saw 17psi boost but once I stopped and started car it unlearned.. I even contacted Hyundai head office to ask for specific methods to make it work. They corresponded with me Over 6 months after they say they did internal testing but nothing worked … I felt a little ripped off as the car makes under the advertised power when non octane learned and makes the advertised power once learned.. so I bought a car that I was never able to experience the advertised power.   I’ve owned many other forced induction cars, one of which made the advertised power as the minimum and if conditions were ideal provided overboost.. another 15% more power and torque. So the Elantra N made me feel ripped off..  further the i30n hatch does not have octane learning, it gets full boost without any nonsense procedure.. Hyundai advises this is due to it being compliances for Europe, Australia.. EN is American market and Australia and Korea, so different fuels required the octane learning procedure.. I note type R  is sold in many markets including USA without this ridiculous octane learning… so I felt ripped off… am I supposed to spend half my tank each fill up to try learn it to get the advertised power? Just ridiculous 
   

2. I find the Elantra N needs a bit more power to be genuinely exciting to drive. I see many on the roads and they are just nice commuter cars if I cannot get it octane learned… further I have an i20n that has overboost so light weight and it makes it full boost always…  maybe octane learned they feel a bit more special.
   

Everything else in the car I like … my decision was either move the car on in disappointment of not being able to enjoy the advertised power and feeling ripped off or get it tuned and see the potential…

So I contacted Cherry tuning, car now has full bolt ons now and tuned.. makes around 21-23psi.. what a rocket! It’s so so much faster than unlearned octane ,, it drives super smooth and when you put foot down it’s violent and fast.. exciting to drive.. it really is.. what a difference car.. maybe if I could octane learned it would feel OEM+ but based on the non octane learned car, it’s a missile

If you own an Elantra N, if you reasonably confident there isn’t too much warranty issues, go get it tuned and oh my, wow what a car… dont cop this silly ridiculous octane learning rubbish any more.
