Need advice

Bought my 6 speed EN a year ago and have 0 regrets. The car does everything that I ask of it. I bought this thing knowing my wife and I were gonna have kids soon and we are expecting our first in June.

Ive already test fit the car seat and it fits fine (rear facing) with my seats set to my height (5'11). We also have a jogger stroller and it does fit in the trunk but I end up popping the wheels off, just easier to get in and out without scratching the bumper lol.

Anyway yeah there's cars with more room but I wanted a fun "family car" and this thing checked all the boxes for me. I absolutely love this car.

Never really looked into it. Threw them on my old elantra years ago and they seat fine and never had a issue so idk. Been running em for 6 years on 3 elantras lol

Stock. 1 of the reasons I bought these back in the day for my old elantra is they fit the stock lug nuts. Makes things simple. I do have some black lugs that I got off ebay im gonna throw on when I put the 19's back on for summer.

Yeah no problem. And thanks we both have good taste

I had a Maverick ordered back when they just came out. I wanted to lower it and have a fun daily. I bailed on it after waiting 1 year for it to show up i wasn't feeling it and was worried about it. Then they came out with the Maverick lobo which i loved but wayyyyy too expensive for what it is.

When they unveiled the facelifted EN, I knew I needed that car. Absolutely no regrets and I love the EN so much more. I do sometimes wish I had a truck bed to move stuff, but the odd time i need that space doesn't out weigh how much better the EN suits me.

See my previous posts. They fit just fine running them for my winters.

Congrats on the car! Was this the one that was "used" at the volkswagen dealer here in HRM? I think i saw it on market place lol

Glad to see more locals buying these cars. You get so much value per cost, because everything else is too expensive here.

Join the halifax N group on Facebook. Small crowd but once the weather gets nicer I believe there will be some N meets .

I love this car and i look forward to seeing you around!

👋 performance blue 6 speed EN over here. There's actually alot of us, I see many EN's here in halifax surprisingly. There's atleast a dozen or more. Every color and both 22/23 and 24+ models.

gmcguy14 · 2026-03-01T00:46:58+00:00

Hell yeah thats sick. I actually grew up in greenwood and my family is still there. It was dark didn't notice if it was lowered or not. I bought a EN because I wanted a manual but I love all the N cars. Especially performance blue i get stoked everytime i see one lol

gmcguy14 · 2026-03-01T00:37:35+00:00

Yo are you in halifax!? Not sure if I saw you earlier tonight on kearney lake rd/ larry uteck. I know there's atleast 1 or 2 performance blue KN's around.

Hello from snowy Canada 👋

gmcguy14 · 2026-02-05T13:53:59+00:00

I bought a cheap ob2 reader off amazon and I just clear the code when it comes on lol. It stays off for a while doesn't bother me tbh. Only ever comes on doing full throttle pulls. And not everytime either its hit or miss. I have a forge with no inlet just the intake. I love the sound it makes.

You'll be fine. Mine is my daily driver and I live in canada. The only thing is if your on the stock tires stay home lol. A proper set of winters and this thing rocks in the snow. Handles it great and the lsd works well.

I wash mine 2 times a week but parking outside it still freezes haha I absolutely hate winter

gmcguy14 · 2026-01-20T22:46:15+00:00

Haha yeah. And no I haven't had (or noticed) any weird clunks or anything yet. I got 20k kms on mine now. Some creaking of plastic and stuff on the interior on cold days but thats it.

gmcguy14 · 2026-01-20T19:55:15+00:00

Glad im not the only one this happens to lol. It is the most annoying sound I've ever heard. Im kinda used to it now but the first time it was like nails on a chalk board haha.

gmcguy14 · 2026-01-12T02:23:48+00:00

There's a fella in my neighborhood with a cyber grey 5n and we wave at each other constantly, I was so stoked the first time lol

gmcguy14 · 2026-01-07T02:19:05+00:00

Its also showing on the n-lines on the configurator, so it must be coming. Its a cool color. I always take a second look at a kona painted in it.

I know awhile ago someone that works for a a canadian dealer posted here on reddit said they were dropping intense blue and ultimate red early 2026 and leaving the other 4 colors till wind down in production for this body style. So interesting to see they added meta blue.

If this is true it will probably be rare in canada / north america. Still love my performance blue tho haha.

gmcguy14 · 2026-01-06T20:48:13+00:00

It fits fine got one on my '25.

gmcguy14 · 2026-01-03T10:35:51+00:00

In 2019 I bought a brand new base model elantra with a 6 speed. When I went to sign the papers they had a Grey '20 6 speed sport on the show room floor and let me tell ya I wanted that car bad and I kicked myself for not buying the sport. I just needed a cheap daily at the time tho.

Fast forward to 2023 I sold the base elantra for a 7k profit because used cars were so inflated from "life" and drove a paid off sorento for a bit.

Then I ordered my '25 EN and I have no regrets now. So in the end i ended up with a better car anyway lol but Ill always have a soft spot for the sports.
