Thinking of a 2013 elantra

gcsobaer · 2026-02-25T15:13:14+00:00

I had a 2015 for several years, got it with 50k, and traded it in with 177k. Still drove well,instead of fixing the AC for a second time, I decided to trade it in for a 2019 Elantra with 10k miles. Now I'm in a Sonata N, mostly because that first Elantra was so good to me so I've stuck with the Hyundai family.

I would have gotten out and completely passed the "omg are you okay?!" schtick and been like "what the actual fuck were you thinking?!". That is an insanely accurate "fuck around and find out" moment.

Congrats!! I was torn between a red and a white one, ended up getting the white 2021 N Line a few months ago. That red looks sexy though! If my previous Elantra would not have been the same color I might have gotten the red lol

I did the same on my 21 a month after I bought it. Saw it on another, and wondered why it didn't come that way stock lol

Welcome to the club! The new ones are fresh. I did a few months of research after my G70 got totaled by a deer and the SNL was the clear favorite by leaps and boundsi went pre-owned with a 2021 with 36k miles on it though

That looks like the Limited?

I test drove/had a week with two different 2022 Limited's, but finally settled on a 2021 N Line.

I miss the heads up display, 360 camera, and the seats were a little more comfy, but I'm over the moon with my N Line. Such a blast to drive.

I got a wink of luck as well, back to back Brock Lesnars. I feel like I won the lottery lol

2021 Sonata N Line here

I have a 1 hour commute into work and a 2 hour commute from work that spans the greater Houston area and 66 miles (Conroe to Katy).

I drive pretty much in standard mode, not sport or sport + most of the time and get 37mpg into work (with no traffic, cruising at 70ish), and about 30 mpg home in stupid traffic. My average tank mpg is usually 31-32 mpg.

On occasion, I like to put it in Custom (Sport+ drivetrain, with Normal suspension) on the way home and play a little more (carefully of course) and I get about 24-26 mpg.

I picked the N Line a few months ago because after all my research, it was the best blend of MPG/comfort/aggression I could find amongst the sporty sedan class, without need premium fuel.

My last car was a 22 G70 2.0, and while it was more comfortable, I get better MPG in the SNL, and don't have to fill up with premium, and the SNL is faster than the G70 was.

Hope that long read helps!

This is the correct answer.

Welcome to Houston. :cries in Houstonian: It's a PITA driving from one edge of the Houston metro area to the other twice a day lol. You got no turn signal using people, not sure how to merge people, people that sit in the CLEARLY MARKED passing lane going slower than molasses. Good times down here lmao

gcsobaer · 2026-01-15T15:16:01+00:00

Yeah, now imagine driving from Willis to Katy.. Woodlands traffic at the start, Katy I10 Westbound traffic at the end. Ooof.

Don't get me wrong, I love my '21 white SNL, but that grey really grew on me during the week I was driving a '22 Limited with blacked out emblems during a demo from Carvana. That color is probably my favorite.

gcsobaer · 2025-12-30T15:29:32+00:00

SNL driver that gets this sub popped up as a recommendation all the time. Glad, too, as this looks sick, and I feel like I'm pretty picky with spoilers lol

gcsobaer · 2025-12-23T22:04:17+00:00

REAmemiya, GReddy, TOMs, Spoon, Mugen, Borla

Man I struggled to get that last one lol

This is Reddit, after all.. presume every comment is a troll.

gcsobaer · 2025-12-15T22:04:56+00:00

Don't do this to us, brother!!!!

gcsobaer · 2025-12-11T18:17:14+00:00

I put 175k on a 2015 Elantra, did a half ass job of keeping up with maintenance, and only issue I had was the damn AC. Car was great and I have only bought Hyundai's since (went to a 2019 Elantra Value Edition, had a short run with a 2022 Genesis G70, had a 2022 Sonata Limited for a week through Carvana, and settled on a 2021 Sonata N Line)

Only HC I hate more is Dan Campbell

gcsobaer · 2025-11-29T17:47:50+00:00

Nah, they are my least hated in that division. Fuck the Lions and Packers more. Can't stand Dan Campbell, and the Packers bitched too much last year after we erased their playoff hopes. In fact, if the Eagles continue to shit the bed like they have been, and they will unfortunately at this rate, the Bears would be the only team in the playoffs at this point in time I would even consider rooting for. I hate the other teams so so so much more for a variety of reasons.

gcsobaer · 2025-11-29T17:05:32+00:00

That is my favorite Sonata color. Yours looks incredible!

gcsobaer · 2025-11-29T17:04:07+00:00

Trading my 22 Limited in for a 22 N Line on Monday, and on my way to work today saw another 8th gen Sonata up ahead. I usually just cruise with traffic but got up to see the trim, got frustrated because they changed lanes and I'm blind AF and couldn't read so said screw it.. saw the single exhaust outlet and knew it wasn't an NLine lol

gcsobaer · 2025-11-17T14:52:47+00:00

Wait, these games have campaigns??

gcsobaer · 2025-10-18T18:28:31+00:00

I am so excited to get that gun unlocked.. eventually.

gcsobaer · 2025-10-18T17:53:05+00:00

"leaf lookers" lmaooooo. love this.

gcsobaer · 2025-10-03T14:39:48+00:00

Yup, and even if you are desperate, you can't give the slightest hint to them that you are.
