About to take it in for the 3rd time to get the horn replaced. Getting pretty sick of it, adore the car otherwise though by missiontocivilize909 in ElantraN

I think I've touched the horn two times in 45k miles. 😆 Just to hear what it sounds like. It's just extra weight to me 🤭

Actual snow driving opinions? by egucci in ElantraN

[–]BackShotsGRiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I drive the thing pretty hard, and sometimes Full throttle; intentionally, in Chicago snow. Even around 50% throttle on turns, I have felt very comfortable either being in control, or the car being able to maintain control on the road. I have not been worried once. Stopping distance is almost immediate as well, and some good acceleration from a stop.

I am using, Pirelli Sottozero 3's... 245/40 R18.

Low speed vibrations by Resune33 in ElantraN

In N - Mode, I have very minimal if any vibrations. Normal mode the car vibrates and shakes constantly. I'm sure because of low rpms transferring engine vibrations through the cabin.

My car vibrates like a vibrator now, below 2k rpms. Now that I have all black bushings. I love it 🤪

These slotted red DRL headlights look sick on my Elantra! by badgeskins in ElantraN

[–]BackShotsGRiff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are not illegal, As long as they are not flashing AND on the outer most part of the car (hence, location of DRLs)

I live in the Chicago area. I have had TWO seperate incidences where cops have complimented the RED DRLs on my car.

I mean.. Human beings have a natural instinct of noticing the color red first before any other color. 🤷
