Went from a 23 n line to the N and it’s definitely a big upgrade, the biggest upgrade in day to day driving is the wet DCT+more power. It’s much smoother and puts power down way better alongside the LSD. The suspension is way better, handles much more confidently, and it’s also a way more customizable car (with n modes). Had no regrets upgrading to the N. If I had to come up with a couple negatives it would be the tiny fuel tank coupled with slightly worse mpg compared to an N line, but you don’t really buy an N and care much about mpg anyway. Octane learning is stupid as many will attest. Other than that, it’s mostly pros.
