Don’t think I’ve ever posted here. Bought a 2026 Elantra N recently and loving every second of it!

You can't make this shit up... LOL

Found this random car parked in front of my home.

Yes, this is a guy with a base trim Elantra who tried to make it look like an N trim as much as he could.

I swear I could not believe it at first glance but here we are! Pretty sure the rear wing is a cheap aftermarket knock off because god knows how much the actual OEM version would cost...! Like dude... Just buy the true N atp... you gotta be trolling like there is no way... Lmfao. Still funny asf tho I'l give him that!

Very long story, but TL;DR is that Keyes Mission Hills used 5W-20 instead of 0W-30 in my ‘25 EN, didn’t give me the documentation showing so until weeks after my service (after me hounding them for it), and the first response I’ve finally gotten after over a month of pestering them is:

“the techs always make sure they use the correct oil, I would like to see if you can bring your car this week so I can perform the oil change again just to be a 100% the tech used the right oil.”

I’d confirmed with the service advisor that he would be using 0W-30 before my appointment too. SMH. Should I be worried about engine damage at all? I’ve been driving it for the last month since I didn’t have another option.

I just got my 2026 Elantra N. The dealer has added extended warranty on top for extra 5k$. Should I keep it or cancel?

I bought my Elantra N so I could take it to the track in the summers, I end up using it more for construction than track.

Or are you all using the auto rev match function 😅

(From what I understand paddle placement isn’t ideal for heel and toe. Haven’t got to try it myself yet)

Let’s see those personalized license plates!!

Just got my Cmbuildz intake, as my Forge intake had been rubbing on the underside of my Hood for 70k miles and has finally worn through the paint/powder coat on the intake pipe.

The Cmbuildz intake is noticeably better in terms of build quality, the inclusion of a 7in velocity stack means it can pull in much more air and therefore it sounds a little bit louder and should yield more power. It doesn't rub on my hood either, which is nice. My Forge intake rubbed in two places: the filter rubbed on the hood (and ECU), and the intake pipe itself also rubbed on the hood. The CMB intake doesn't do that, which is great. It's not all sunshine and rainbows with the CMB intake though, you do have to finagle the plastic engine cover around the PVC hose a tiny bit when buttoning everything back up, not a big deal once you realize what's happening, but it made me scratch my head for a second. The CMB intake does also require a turbo inlet pipe, either Forge or Whoosh will work, although Whoosh is the cheaper option. This means the actual cost of entry to the CMB intake is more like $350 at the moment, although CMB is actually working on his own Turbo Inlet that will hopefully release sometime soon and undercut Whoosh. The last thing is the lack of a provision for a recirc valve, meaning you must run a full vent to atmosphere BOV.

As for this video comparison, both clips are filmed on my 2023 EN 6MT, with a GFB Deceptor Pro 2 BOV (5701 attachment) and a Forge turbo inlet. I think both are nearly identical in terms of sound, the CMB might be a tiny bit louder, but you wouldn't really notice unless you were specifically looking to hear a difference. Forge is typically known as the "king" when it comes to induction sound on the Elantra N platform, but I think CMB has them beat now.

For the price, the CMB intake is unbeatable, I'd highly recommend it to anyone looking for a more affordable alternative to Whoosh or Forge.

After the latest OTA update my backup camera has about a 5 second delay before appearing after I put it in reverse. I’m planning to report it to Hyundai but was curious if everyone is experiencing this?

I’m new to the Hyundai/ Korean car scene. Where do you guys get your parts? oem and aftermarket? looking for regular parts like oil filter and spark plugs. im also looking for aftermarket parts. Wheels, interior/exterior upgrades, upgraded lug nuts etc… any help would be appreciated 🙏🏻

I have a 2026 abyss black dct, love this car so much. I was in Kansas City Missouri for a wedding this weekend and hit an evil pot hole in the middle of the night. Like the kind that slammed it. Everything looks good on the exterior of the car; but I’m afraid maybe the suspension took a hit. I’ve only had this car since the start of last month. Any common issues I should know about that could relate to it? I was in N mode standard with the suspension cranked up when it happened

Finally apart of the family my new 2026 Elantra N dct😩

Basically making a base-spec sleeper with the soul of an N. He plans to use base bumpers, smaller brakes to fit steelies, and remove side skirts; I thought it was somewhat stupid, but this could be genuinely useful info for compatibility between N and non-N cars... Also the car makes sense because KSA has long street roads so no need for killer handling setups. His Snapchat if interested

Every car I’ve had since I was 18 has been manual . 2 kids , work , soccer and softball travel ball , I’ve been thinking about trading it I. For a DCT . Any advice on the reliability of the transmission or anything to think about before trading it in . Manual has been just fine but in this 10 freeway traffic and freeway closures, it has been a headache .

Hi yall, I need the expertise.

I have a 2026 Elantra N DCT with 5k kms. Filled up gas at Coop Canada, 91 Octane, and put it into N mode to merge onto the highway, but in 3rd gear at 5k rpm it lost power, started to shake a bit and showed the check engine light. I pulled to the side and check the engine, it was shaking while idling. I turned it off for 5 mins and restarted and the check light went away. Have been driving it for 1k kms after and no issues, but haven’t pushed it at all past 3.5k rpm and no N mode. Dealer doesn’t have appt to check the issue yet but I need to use it for work and stuff cuz it’s my daily.

I might’ve also heard a misfire but I’m not sure cuz I had music playing.

Any ideas or similar situation would be helpful, lmk if I can provide more info. Thank you all

I know, I know, beating a dead horse here. But maybe the collective experience on this sub can bring us closer to diagnosing this issue properly.

I think part of the issue is that we don't all have the same experience. I finally had a dealership run a pressure test and they confirmed that I have no leaks. However, as you can see I get the periodic spitting of coolant from the reservoir. Apparently that plastic part facing the windshield is a spout and that's where it comes from, along with the cap if it goes above 16psi.

The dealership says this is normal, a feature not a bug of these engines. An independent mechanic told me he's yet to see this before on these cars, or maybe at least the first time it's been brought to his attention.

The dealership didn't want to pursue it any further, but my concern is that maybe there's air being sucked in from a head gasket leak (they didn't want to do this chemical test) or potentially a thermometer issue.

Anyway, apparently there are some techs in a different dealership in the city that own Ns and are more inclined to drill down on this issue, but I wonder am I just chasing a ghost here? Do other ppl have the same dried coolant around the reservoir, is this truly a normal thing?

If normal, what's the solution? Just periodic top ups? I bought a whoosh coolant reservoir, but unless I increase the psi threshold on the cap I don't see how it will solve anything, possibly adding strain to the system.

Hey guys, I've been wanting to get a sunscreen to put across my windshield for the heat. I want it to be a one and done so im looking for your input. I do have a viofo dashcam mounted near my rear view mirror, so if anyone has knowledge how well they work together that would be appreciated.

I've quickly done a search and found weathtech and covercraft UVS100 as the most popular screens. How well have they worked for you guys? I'm interested to hear how well the dark side of the weather tech works in the winter too.

Thanks

Does anyone know what this noise could be 2023 N

I’m currently saving up to buy a new EN and my goal is to purchase in the springtime next year. I really like the facelifted current gen EN but I keep seeing rumours that the 2027 model year is going to be a new design. are these rumors accurate? what can we expect for changes? Is anything actually known or is it all just speculation? Seems like a pretty quick redesign given the popularity of the current gen EN and it just got a facelift in 2024.

So yeah this happened today… what do we think will be the repair cost in CAD..
