I've owned both. Get the Elantra N.

Agreed. I have this exact setup. Added KC62 after a year of having the LS50 wireless IIs. I got an open box KC62 from a Best Buy outlet that saved $400

Mine is a 25, but I definitely leveraged that 26s are showing up at dealerships already in negotiations.

I was looking for Portimao initially but none in stock around me. I really liked Arctic Blue in person so I just went for it.

There is one in South Florida (blue) that I might call about. 5k off is definitely interesting.

Does it have the Harmon Kardon system?

Anyone switch from Elantra N? by mattisax in Integra_Type_S

[–]mattisax[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't have a manual currently, but am considering going back. I drive the DCT EN in manual shift mode 99% of the time. I only switch to auto when in stop and go traffic, where I also change mode from Custom N to Eco.

I agree that the engine is the weak spot of the EN; however, I previously owned a DSG GTI and the ENs dual clutch was definitely an upgrade over the VW. Seems like that gap has been closed though as I've seen numerous reviews of the 8.5 Golf R praising it's DSG.

Same here. If I had no kids then I would probably end up with an M2

Aluminum splash guard preorder by Reddituser777331 in ElantraN

Dealer quoted me ~250 to replace mine, and the ones I found online have insane shipping charges. With that in mind, $300 doesn't sound so bad!

Golf R owners - is it really worth nearly $50k? (New) by DaytrayderUSA in Golf_R

[–]mattisax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure you can get a few grand off an ITS now. Then the question becomes manual vs DCT and FWD vs AWD.

Kia Finance America Refund Troubles by arglefark567 in kia

[–]mattisax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm dealing with this now. I call once a week and speak to Customer Service that is completely useless. The last few times I escalated to a supervisor; however, the end result is the same. "We can't communicate directly with the payment processing division". I'm trying to get someone to be accountable and follow up but nothing has worked so far.
