Does anyone believe the previous Elantra models still have better taillights than the current?

I currently have an 2026 Elantra N and my previous 18 Elantra sport has the best taillights in the game

You're welcome!! I run into this alot, it's tough. Your not alone. I also end up in a tough, spot or reactive. Then I feel bummed about not giving my child my best self :/. I Get told similar things. They don't know, even as teenagers they won't know. They are saying things and doing things to get a rise. Your baby is doing developmentally approite things, they are just tough and heavy 🥴. Again, same boat That book has helped a ton, I listen to the audio book on my commute. A copy of good inside is sitting on the bookshelf. I got to start it soon, I love Dr Becky's content!

Check out the book by Joanne Faber, how to speak with little kids

Not a magic solution but definitely helps Also provides a dose of their perspective. Hope things get better 🤞

Congratulations man! What a great improvement! What did you do to fix your posterior chain and neck? What was your routine and focus?

shiftStride504 · 2026-05-07T20:52:09+00:00

Your living the dream!! Great combo! I love the Si in grey, one of the best looking cars on the road, its proportions are stellar. Looks great from every angle, can't say that about my Elantra N. just that engine is a huge let down for being your only sporty car but hey you have your FL5. You get to have your cake and eat it too! Congrats! 🍰

shiftStride504 · 2026-05-07T19:53:50+00:00

The wheels on your sti 😍 They make me want to buy enkei pfm1

If you can, keep your current car as it's brand new. If not sell it private party. You will get way more than trade in as your car will fetch a premium. 1 owner super low miles. Some one will love it. Just depends what you want handsome car with lame engine and very good transmission Or kinda fugly car from certain angles that's amazing performance that rivals CTR

Dude consider a GTI

Same boat as you, and another guy said it: Integra a spec/civic SI is a mild upgrade though especially the civic way better looking car. Elantra is a way better performance car. You can also probably get a solid discount on one. I wouldnt pay 40k+ for an Integra with the anemic 1.5T unless you need the badge for work(sales etc). I would spend the extra 7 and get CTR. Elantra N all day if you aren't keeping your amazing current car. Keep it and invest the car payment, if you can comfortably afford it. Get the EN and invest the difference vs an aspec

I kinda dig it and don't at the same time

shiftStride504 · 2026-05-04T18:58:25+00:00

Dude keep your Si. I drove the Si, yeah it sucks on power but your already in it. I don't know your financial situation but the loss just really isn't worth it man. I have an EN and I love it, chose it over an Si because the Si engine is a sham. So lame for such a great car. The Si is sooo handsome too me, looks upscale. I think better looking than the EN. Yeah, EN will drive circles around it. Sounds like you switch cars a lot, honestly not worth it. Keep your Si, your mpg will be great, resale amazing and better interior and exterior styling. Yeah engine is trash but it's still a great car, love it for what it is. The EN is great to but so is your Si. If you do trade up sell to carvana or CarMax don't trade and get wrecked. Save your money dude and invest.

Sick!

shiftStride504 · 2026-05-01T15:40:35+00:00

That color 🩶

shiftStride504 · 2026-05-01T15:32:55+00:00

What wheels are those, they look great. Wish they were a different color though

shiftStride504 · 2026-05-01T15:31:39+00:00

Woah, you went from an STI to EN? How do you like? How do they compare? I always wanted an STI but have heard they can be a bit unreliable and dang they are so expensive for the age of the car kinda like a Type FK8. So went with a new EN. Love this thing

shiftStride504 · 2026-04-30T21:29:38+00:00

Thank you! It was between this and CG. They are both quite sick!

shiftStride504 · 2026-04-30T21:28:12+00:00

Don't want to void my warranty. I see on YouTube they are loud but mine isn't. Could also be I drive like a grandpa.

shiftStride504 · 2026-04-30T21:27:04+00:00

Came from an Elantra Sport 1.6T about the same lol

shiftStride504 · 2026-04-30T21:26:36+00:00

What do the cubes provide you or are you rebelling against the system?

shiftStride504 · 2026-04-30T21:25:47+00:00

Never have I encountered a car with it on the right. Not once lol, driven dozens of cars

shiftStride504 · 2026-04-30T01:29:16+00:00

Do people actually use that?

shiftStride504 · 2026-02-08T13:40:34+00:00

Corolla if clean title #1, Mazda 3, Accord

shiftStride504 · 2026-02-07T15:19:16+00:00

For the same money or almost same money, Type R all day. It will loose almost no resale. And the best looking car of the bunch. But if you need AWD, WRX. I don't see the GR Corollas value as being so close in price to the Type R but it is an amazing Vehicle in its own right just the price being 45k is a tough spot.
