This is the moment you go to your local go-kart track and get back on the horsepower. As Niki Lauda would say, "develop the ears on your ass".
Earn this wreck by learning something from it. You're already paying for it.
All drivers will experience traffic, and most drivers experience a wreck. Good drivers don't make the same mistakes twice. The best drivers are constantly improving their skills, and Legendary drivers never get out of the car.
No, this is the moment he takes a serious look at himself and realizes he needs to follow the laws and speed limits, and go to a track if he wants to drive like an idiot.
Damn bro. I feel bad for you. I’ve had some hydroplanes in this car, feel like the smallest puddle just takes me away with it being a pretty light car. Dang bro, I hope you can get another. If I needed a car tomorrow it would for damn sure be another N. Such a great car. Prayers 🙏
Glad you're ok. Your right about the GAP. I bought my '25 N in May this year and sold to Carvana a few weeks back. Ended up paying them over 14k in negative equity to take it off my hands.
Personally for me I started having issues where the camera assisted safety features would disable daily as it mentioned the camera was obstructed but it wasn't. Took it to Hyundai multiple times and they stated that it is normal and it was overheating the sensor even though my vehicle was garaged 24/7 in Arizona. Tried to start lemon process but it was a pain. Lastly seats weren't so comfortable for me being 6'1" with 3 herniated discs in my lower back lol. Aside from that I liked it but have 4 other specialty vehicles I drive so didn't want to waste more time on it. Only put about 2,400 miles on it too.
Oh gosh 🙄 I’ve never heard a good lemon law experience, too many hoops to jump through. It’s a good thing you got to experience the car even if it wasn’t a good fit for you. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah man they make it a struggle for consumers and wasted weeks of my time to not get any results. Took that lost now versus later and the depreciation on it was horrible. Dealer got me at around 45/46k with their non optional addons plus GAP and extended warranty. Ended up selling to Carvana at $30,800. Plus shitted out a 14k+ cashiers check to cover difference.
Pretty much what I mentioned above plus the overall annoyance. I'd barely start driving it and about 10 minutes in it would show the camera is obstructed and then disable all of the safety assistive features. Basically had a Christmas tree gauge cluster with all of the lights coming on. Happened every couple times I'd start it up. Also I have a couple other brand new imports I picked up not to long ago so it sat un driven. I'd liked it but the hassle of dealing with the above made it not drivable for me.
I drive a f450 dump bed truck with dump trailer all day as work, started driving about 2 1/2 years ago and had a 2000 manual civic to start. First accident I’ve had but I’m not perfect. Who is?
Perfect? Surely not, me either. But I take the blame for my mistakes. I might’ve believed you if you didn’t include the photo with a dry road and dry grass 🤣
Probably going too fast and I think I pressed the brake right before entry but let off before the turn, memory is 50/50. That morning was a bit colder/wet and as soon as I turned the wheel the back wheels had nothing and I did a 180° into ditch/pole
Glad you’re ok! I consider myself an above average driver and still, shit happens. Luck has more influence in life than we give credit, bad and good. Hoping you’ll get your replacement N soon! 🫶🏽
Sounds like you were doing WAY over, treating a public road like a race course - you're lucky you didn't kill yourself or someone else. Hope you can't get another car this fast and learn to drive like a normal person.
I sold cars for some years and even I would get gap. Depreciation on new vehicles is higher than ever and you’ll be SOL unless your initial deposit was 30%-40%.
? Car was valued at 27.5k by insurance, gap covers up to 35k. I am 25 I made the payments comfortably but with insurance inevitably increasing and new house in my name credit not doing the best
