On public twisty roads the N I think is more fun than my SS 1lE. You can use more of it whereas the 1LE has so much grip you can't sanely get to it's limit on public roads. It also accelerates too fast between the twisties. I can keep my foot in the throttle longer in the straights without feeling like a criminal haha.
Having said that I still like my SS 1LE better. Sometimes though it is more fun driving a slow car fast versus driving a fast car slow.

I'm happy to have both. EN is a great daily... it's smaller, yet has far more interior space and a much larger trunk, easy to park anywhere, good visibility, good fuel economy if you drive it normally, blind spot and cross traffic alerts, lane assist, etc. It doesn't feel like massive overkill getting groceries.
It's also surprisingly fast under 60-70 mph, the data in the vid @khcoaching posted compares a SLE with an EN and in low speed corners it's not all that far off. Hyundai really did a great job with the car... drivetrain, suspension, steering, brakes... all good. Holds up to track use with no mods. Hard to believe you can get a car like this for <$40k in 2025.
