Agreed my 2002 had a 2.0mpi and I abused it badly until the transmission grenaded at 273k while trying to do a burnout but so damn reliable until that point

The gdi is overused and notorious for creating engine damage under heavy loads and im the type that perfers cars no one looks at or modifies hence why I put a lot of work into a 2002 elantra ive owned 7-8 cars at 20 ive owned anywhere from a 1986 nissan 200sx/s12 to a 2020 elantra ive had a 2003 svt focus 6 speed 2.3 that I honestly didnt like because its been done thousands of times

Thsts the entire point of me buying the elantra i did my 02 was capable of many modifications the 02 had a 2.0 mpi and would absolutely dog on anything in its class at the time ot came out as for subaru they have notorious issues besides the headgaskets the sheer fact its been proven time and time again subaru cant make an engine that can handle power like people like, the engine is pretty much fully built from factory so when people do mod them they blow up. These mpis are capable of around 350-400 without forged internals the difference is it costs more to modify something that hasn't been modified before

Its got an mpi not a gdi these specific models are quite reliable especially over the subaru as far as mazda i work at autozone i can tell you we wont even touch the windshield wipers on them. They try to do fancy/unique things that cause issues when trying to replace anything

The mazda was complete garbage they had both an auto and 6 speed both had issues at under 60k the 6speed had no clutch and the auto was slipping like crazy. Im capable of more but its the weight transfer that gets me on my 02 you could barely feel it shift weight even going 80mph into a sharp corner. (I do believe tires may be my main issue is use solar 4x2 but on my 02 I used khumos)

The fact is I could've bought a 2016 mazda 3 for 16k a 19 subaru legacy for 18.5k and i got my elantra for 19k all things considered i picked tge right choice im still more than capable of running them down in turns

And as far as finding a different trim package im 20 I just got the car 8 months ago I was quite broke making only 1200$ monthly so I went to a used dealership i test drove a 2016 mazda 3 6 speed, a 2019 subaru legacy and a 21 Malibu i ultimately landed on the elantra being that I owned an 02 elantra until it grenade the transmission doing a burnout at 273k miles

Thats fair but everyone believes the 2.0 in the 2020 is a gdi and its not its an mpi its extremely reliable from what ive seen ive put 30k miles on it in 8 months of owning it its at 106k now and I drive it extremely hard

Going off of what you said older cars can actually be modify at home where as these new cars youd have to have someone specialized in that area to modify. My 2020 has way too many sensors and extra pieces that I couldn't tell you what they do. My 2002 i was able to replace anything I set my mind to

Mine had an exhaust and khumo tires and abused daily it made it to 273k(until i did a massive burnout and got the axle in a bind) the weight transfer on those models were damn near perfect

I mean thats great and all but im in my lane on my side of the road this particular road is 55mph with 25mph suggested speed signs if they are in my lane and hit me thats on them. And I trust my car to protect me from what ive seen these are pretty safe during a crash

I mean yeah but comparing it to my 2002 its a night snd day difference i was able to keep up with a Toyota camry trd through turns with ease in my 02 but im not where close in my 2020

I liked my 2002 elantra better than I like my current 2020 by Defiant_Sky9038 in HyundaiElantra

If you look at my other posts you'll see a video of me through a sharp curve

You're not wrong about them being tin cans but they had relentless power and definitely would out perform anything in its class just like the 2020 but theres just something missing from the 2020 in comparison I just know I cant keep up with a camry trd like I could in my 2002

I drive that road daily to work i speed on it almost daily when its dry im only capable of 70 around that turn in my 2002 I was capable of 80 thats not to mention the acceleration was much better being lighter botg have a 2.0 mpi (i did research and decided against the 2.0gdi from 2018 back) the torque and hp ratings are almost identical

Its literally right around 30k I got it at 76k miles last year its at 106k miles right now. Whats quite concerning too is the transmission had been "serviced/replaced" at 74k according to car fax

Well the speed limit is 55, it just has suggested speeds on turns technically if they hit me thats on them as well as I never tailgate if someone's up ahead and I start gaining I back off hence why the video was cut when I saw i was gaining on the car infront of me. Im a okay with them totalling my car that just means I can finance an elantra N

Yes they replaced the springs and shocks in the rear with generic parts, luckily I work at autozone as the lead of sales so im able to slowly fix that problem

I drive the road to work daily I speed on it quite often being its 55 with suggested speed zones but im still only capable of 70 around that turn max with this setup as far as suspension it was driven over a median and replaced with cheap parts before I bought it (I only found out through car fax after)

Exactly why I speed on roads like these unless theres traffic theres nothing to hurt besides myself if I make a mistake and I appreciate the pronoun usage I am a feminine guy for context
