I have a Kona N and it is so damn fun. It's even more aggressive than my 1LE. Hyundai is kicking ass with these N cars.

86 is good, just the clutch feel is weird and the shifters pretty notchy. and there's alot of jerkiness w/ throttle roll-off at low speeds. fun car tho.

I was in similar boat.
I test drove Elantra N, GTI, Type R, WRX. I didn’t drive the newest 86/BRZ but few months before prior I did BRZ. Personally I don’t think I could live with Elantra N. It’s known to have really weak motor, material feels really cheap, metal or door weight feels horrible. I ultimately ended up buying the GTI as my daily. Personally I would rate GTI, WRX, Type R, BRZ/86, Elantra N Last edited by cmeJATT; 12-07-2023 at 10:49 AM. |

I have driven the first 86 and a Veloster N. I think my v6 Camaro drives better and the power is way better. It is my daily driver.

Based on my test drive of both type of sport cars, I would define them in few words: '22 GR86 / BRZ: Are more matured analog great handling cars (like a dependable horse). And the Elantra N is the pocket rocket, tech toy car in which you can explore its limits with multiple settings (its more like a bronco horse). Both types of cars are fun machines but on a different way.

I hope to be a drift champion some day, so I'd want the 86.

Well, the Elantra is Butt ugly, so a no go on that one, plus the potential of fires and theft ??
86 talk about a tiny interior, not my cup of tea too cramped and pretty lousy looking dashboard. |

The big problem with the 86 is the Subaru engine. Needs the GR Corolla T3.

That its the way the newer '25 GR86 would come: 3 cylinders turbo + hybrid engine, the partnership of Toyota/Subaru ends.
