I have not felt confident in this car yet. The brakes make an odd grinding sound sometimes. The lighting on the inside will dim and then go back to bright a few minutes later. And now a huge recall which says the vehicles can catch fire due to an oil pump has been issued. This car is going to be a headache. I should have held out for the Honda.

I should have learned my lesson with Hyundai. Initially bought a CPO sonata from a dealer that, after over a month battling them and Hyundai corporate for hours and hours (probably 30-40 hours over the month) they took it back after a number of issues the CPO warranty didn't cover and I would be out about 3-4000 dollars to get it into correct condition (sunroof didn't work right, headlights had water in them from a seal breaking, and a slew of other things). The selling dealer took it back and instead of looking at a CPO they had a color I wanted that I could never find, Electric Shadow, in the Elantra. It was brand new, right off the truck so they took the Sonata back and I bought the Elantra limited, and will NEVER buy another Hyundai again. After I got it home and after the honeymoon phase, I took it to the car wash and got it cleaned and vacuumed. I noticed water in the headlights. HOW? A brand new car with the same issues as the CPO I purchased from the same dealer. I don't know or care how it happened but it happened. I took it to my local Hyundai dealer (bought this and the CPO from out of state) and they said they would cover it under warranty and the lights cost $3200 for both. A month later and I was able to get this taken care of. 3 year/36k mile maintenance plan was crap. I was approaching my oil change date at 7k miles and called in for an appointment and they couldn't get me in for 2 months... for an oil change! How ridiculous. I know this is more on the dealership than Hyundai, but 2 months for an oil change. It's either wait the 2 months and have over 10k miles on the oil change or pay out of pocket so I paid out of pocket, $80 for a synthetic oil change from a reputable quick (not chain) lube place near me. Throughout ownership I noticed the CVT was jolting at random times. It's either going to die soon or if that's how it's supposed to be, it's just a bad transmission. My paid off 13 year old Prius doesn't have the jolts with its CVT like this one does, which is why after having to shell out $80 for the oil change we (my wife mostly, but I support the decision) decided to sell what we could get it for. We went to the local Hyundai dealer we were going to service at and they gave us quite a low offer for what it was. I went to other dealers and Hyundai and Subaru (right next to and owned by the same owner) gave the lowest by far. Vroom offered the most and I sold it to them, they picked it up and conditioned it and put it for sale. Maybe someone doesn't care about the CVT jolt but I do and I hope the next owner keeps it and enjoys it worry free for years but I doubt that will be the case. I'm sticking with Toyota and Honda. I don't know why I steered from them. I think the lack of technology in their cars was a turn off but I now that they're catching up I'm sticking with them as their reliability is second to none.

2023 Hyundai Elantra N Line 4dr Sedan (1.6L 4cyl Turbo 7AM)

One thing I can say is I do quite a lot of compliments on my Lava Orange N-Line. The car seems to offer a lot of bang for the buck. I mean you get a small sunroof, and heated seats to name a few. People will argue you with just how fast their N Line is. It is not fast! My 2020 Altima I believe was faster. Okay, that out of the way, let’s discuss Hyundai’s DCT. I absolutely HATE IT!!! Some say there is a learning curve to it. There is not!! It plain out sucks$ I’m going to tell you why: it’s very dangerous turning into traffic as it bogs; shifts very roughly; can’t make its mind up what gear it’s in; it hesitates. I have tried all driving methods. Using the paddles with traction and stability off in sport mode offers a little better experience. My other gripe is why in the world Hyundai didn’t put a limited slip diff in, is way beyond me!! Trust me with that transmission you need it!! So back to turning into traffic, when it bogs, you have to get off gas and press the throttle moderately. As a result, you get wheel spin. Had my first service with 3900 miles on it. Dealer said transmission is fine and normal. If that’s normal, wow!! This is a deal breaker for me! All the bogging, hesitating and jerking. People actually like that?? The DCT belongs in a fancy and expensive sports car, whereas the manufacturer has perfected it. So, the trans, the paint isn’t the greatest (typical Hyundai) and differential are my complaints. Otherwise, the car is clean. Relatively comfortable giving the driver multiple driving positions automatically. I do like this. The interior and exterior blinds you with the downfalls. This is my 4th Hyundai and my last! I am kicking myself for not getting the Honda Civic SI. Yes only with a 6 speed, but I can control it unlike the Hyundai confused DCT. If you are able to test drive a N line, do so before buying. As you know, certain cars are hard to find. I had to search mine out.
