used car of the day 2022 hyundai elantra n

Today we go modern with a close-to-new 2022 Hyundai Elantra N.

The seller says it's stock and has NOT seen the track -- and there are just 42,700 miles on the clock.

It's also been "adult owned", implying maturity on the part of the seller. Unfortunately, for obvious reasons, we cannot verify that.

If you want to get your hands on a lightly-used Elantra N, you can click here to see more. The sale price for this one is $27,000 and it's available in upstate New York.

Tim Healey grew up around the auto-parts business and has always had a love for cars — his parents joke his first word was “‘Vette”. Despite this, he wanted to pursue a career in sports writing but he ended up falling semi-accidentally into the automotive-journalism industry, first at Consumer Guide Automotive and later at Web2Carz.com. He also worked as an industry analyst at Mintel Group and freelanced for About.com, CarFax, Vehix.com, High Gear Media, Torque News, FutureCar.com, Cars.com, among others, and of course Vertical Scope sites such as AutoGuide.com, Off-Road.com, and HybridCars.com. He’s an urbanite and as such, doesn’t need a daily driver, but if he had one, it would be compact, sporty, and have a manual transmission.

What's worse, the styling or the color? I'll take a silver GLI over this any day.

  And here I was last year, with a silver GLI to sell you! Seriously, if you want a GLI, pull the trigger now. It's a terrific car, and I have a feeling it's not long for this world.

The Civic Si is a far better value with few if any reliability issues.

  I love the si, but the 1.5t has had some issues. I guess pretty much anything does now though

  It's also a LOT slower than an Elantra N, though. In fact, unless I'm way off, it's the slowest thing you can buy in the sport compact class. And around here, Honda dealers are marking it up to high hell.
  Love the styling and the shifter, though.

  The Car and Track comparison of the GLI, Si and Elantra N had the Si 0 to 60 mph ranked as the in slowest-in-test 6.7 seconds while the N was 0 to 60 in 5.1 seconds. They stated that the Elantra was the top of the pack, the BMW M series of Hyundais. But to me I would still go for the Si because of its shifter and bespoke interior design.

  Hyundai is the best Performance Trim line of all thanks to South Korea superiority. Hyundai is developing a 4B subbrand as well to compete with Mercedes AMG Carbon Series.

  While the Hyundai compares to the Civic Si in price, it compares to the Civic Type R in performance. So it is a good deal, though probably not as reliable as the Hondas in the long run.

TheEndlessEnigma I'm sure the rise in driving infractions in Minnesota has nothing to do with all the learing centers.
Plaincraig 06 PT Cruiser 214k miles. 24MPG with a 50/50 highway city driving. One new radiator was the only thing replaced from failure at 80k.Regular maintenance and new radiator hoses and struts at 100k. Head gasket failed blew out the camshaft seals and the rear seal failed too. Being able to remove the backseats was wonderful. The ride was fine. Took an exit ramp and twice the rated speed and some kid in a Mazda 3Speed rolled down his window and asked what I done to make it handle like that. I said "Its all stock and Walmart tires. I know how to drive not just go fast."
Flashindapan Corey, I increasingly find your installments to be the only reason I check back here from time to time.
SCE to AUX The first couple generations of Prius were maligned by association with a certain stereotype owner. But you can't deny their economy and reliability is the envy of the automobile world. It's rare for an EV to match the TCO of a Prius. From personal experience, the first-gen Nissan Leaf. Yes, they looked like a frog and their batteries degraded, but the car was ultra-reliable, well-built, and smooth driving, and was a good introduction to electric motoring for its time.
DungBeetle62 Mercury Capri. It was never conceived to be an updated Lotus Elan/Brit RWD Roadster with Japanese reliability as the Miata was. If you just treated it as a more fun and airy commute than the Tracer/323 its bones came from - it was pretty quick with the turbo (for the era) and enjoyable. And you still had some Mazda reliability under the skin. Yes, I owned one. But let's just say I'm not perusing Bring a Trailer looking for used examples in decent shape.
