Pickup by: ASAP
Delivery by: ASAP
Note: Can meet truck anywhere in southern NJ or Philadelphia area.

1) I’m seeing a ton of used, low-mile Elantras in my area within my budget- like, every dealership around me has at least 3 if not more - usually an SEL. Is there something wrong with this year Elantra that makes them undesirable?
2) a local Hyundai dealer has a used 2018 Ioniq for a good price and low miles. Should I consider this? I heard that you shouldn’t buy used hybrids because the batteries aren’t covered under warranty.

I don’t know if this discussion is the best place to post but at least I can get some understanding as to what happened to my car. Milage is at 51,000. Automatic transmission.
I bought a Hyundai Sonata back in Sept 2020, and last summer there was two incidents where the car would not accelerate and the tank wouldn't pump gas to the motor for car to go. We took it in to Hyundai and it was in the shop from October of 2022 to March of 2023. They said the gas tank had expanded and moved all the parts around it. They said they weren't sure what caused it but they had to change of 10 parts. We got the car back and two weeks ago it happened again. We took it in to the dealership and they told us to call Hyundai Corporate and throw them under the bus and make sure we don't get this car back because they didn't think there's anything they could do to fix it and we would always have problems. The car is still under warranty and the car is financed. We put $5000 as a down payment and have paid about 32 months of payment. We still have about 19.000 we still owe. Corporate called back and was interested in doing a buy back. We think we would be at a loss with a buy back. Is there anything advice you can give me on how to move forward? And if not, do you recommend getting a lawyer? If so what kind?

Hi. It’s me. In January I traded my GR86 for an Elantra N. Since them I’ve put about 2500 miles on including one track day, an autocross, and a lot of preschool runs.
Photos and hot lap video https://imgur.com/a/02SffO8 https://streamable.com/m4rvto
Why did I get rid of the GR86? Space. The GR86 can fit two adults and two kids in car seats, however your passenger will be miserable and you’ll have to perform an expert level yoga move each time you put a child in a rear facing convertible car seat. Even just putting my oldest one in her forward facing one is not ideal. Me being me, I started looking and saw that even now in May 2023, these things are still hard to find which mean places are giving top dollar for them.
Why the Elantra N? I realized that this segment is ideal for me. Many people moan about fwd being not fun, but I’ve had just as much fun in fwd as rwd at autocross and on track. This segment gives me fun cars that can do it all, as a dad car DD and something for weekend fun, with mostly no compromises. I went down the list of usual suspects. FL5 CTR: Too expensive. Already had an FK8. Lacking a bit of character. Impossible to find. GRolla: A bit small in the rear for a rear facing car seat. AWD is more of a minus than a plus for me, even though I live in New England. GolfR: A little expensive, too under the radar, too refined. I also considered a DCT F80 M3, but couldn't justify the extra cost, and found it a bit too insulated.
The EN checks all of the right driving boxes for me and even has the option to appease my wife who has always (politely) asked me to get an automatic transmission that she could drive. Until now, I’ve always had a manual. I’m not a die hard 'I must drive everything stick' type person, but I always enjoy driving stick on the street but have said for a while I’d consider a DCT for its telepathic shifting. Of course the one box the EN doesn’t check is the looks. My god the front. I still have no idea what they were thinking (and I don't think the '24 refresh looks much, if any better). As I’ve owned it, it’s grown on me a little. Much like if your friend names their cat or dog something silly, you start to appreciate it as you associate the name with a real thing that takes real pets and belly rubs. I do enjoy the rear light bar, but not the wing that’s crumpled in the middle. I assume this is to aid visibility? And of course the side looks pre-crashed but it can be forgiven.
Interior The interior is good. The Hyundai infotainment is really great. Large, sharp screens for both the gauge cluster and the infotainment. I love how the infotainment screen is slightly angled to the driver. Of course I mostly just use it for carplay but I love the N mode screen. It let’s you make your own custom modes where you can set steering, engine/throttle response, shift speed, suspension, and exhaust. It also has a bunch of customizable settings inside of N mode. Want the DCT to not creep? There’s a setting for that. Want a little kick on upshifts and the trans to really slam home that gear? N power shift will do that for you. Want the DCT to hold revs and know when you’re on a track? N track sense is here for you. Outside of the infotainment the interior is fine. Seats are great, and heated. They light up. Why? ¯_(ツ)_/¯. Some of the plastics are out of a base Elantra, but everything you touch is good, with alcantara on many surfaces. I did have the base GR86, but the EN interior is definitely better in just about every way. And the Hyundai app is wonderful for remote starting with climate control or just quickly and easily unlocking/locking.
One interior-ish quirk, it has no adaptive cruise control. It does have lane keep assist, rear parking sensors, emergency front braking and blind spot monitoring. No ACC is not a huge deal breaker to me as I don’t often go on long highway trips for it, but it would be nice to have.
Driving I like fwd. I like rwd. I’m definitively in the ‘if you hate fwd, you just haven’t driven good fwd at the limit’ camp (sorry). Do I miss leaving T-junctions sideways with rwd? A little. I think the equivalent feeling for fwd is approaching a corner, keeping the revs high, mashing throttle and feel the eLSD just suck you in, like magic. The eLSD is excellent, as is the wet 8 speed dct. It almost always knows which gear you’re going for which means a impressively quick shift. Even if you choose a shift that doesn’t jive, it’s still not slow. Is it as engaging as a manual? Probably not, but the video game-ness of it is fun in its own way. The worst named feature that comes with the DCT is the NGS. Push the button and you get 20 seconds of 25nm more of torque. It’ll also put your exhaust into the state of CA’s favorite Sport+ mode with all of the pops and bangs you could ever want, and if you have the transmission in automatic, it’ll downshift you to the highest gear. The suspension is adjustable, which in partnership with the DCT, helps make the car go from appliance car (in eco mode) to a true fun daily/something that's ready for the track. Suspension in my opinion is soft enough on it's softest setting and just about stiff enough in the stiffest setting. Sticky stock PS4S help the quick turn in, but even with the all-season DWS 06 that I put on for some light winter duty, handling remains good. Power is plenty. I don't think it feels much slower than the CTR when using the NGS feature.
The dealer experience
I’ve bought quite a few cars and this dealership experience was the best. I feel like I read nothing but bad things about Hyundai but was genuinely impressed. The dealership wasn’t that far away, but everything was done via email/electronically. Everything was as smooth as possible, super easy transaction from start to finish.
On track
I did add some light mods, camber bolts (with an alignment bumping the already good front camber from -1.7 -> -2.5 in the front) and 18x9 wheels (from 19x8) and 245/40/18 Kumho V730 tires. Car comes with genuinely track capable brakes and factory filled with DOT4. Car was terrific at my local track, Thompson for an SCCA Track Night in America event. Oil gets a little warm, like just about any turbo 4, but factory gauges are great and coolant temp stays reasonable. DCT really comes to life on track where it feels like you’re shifting in a video game. Car was about 1.5s faster than my GR86, which was on a stickier tire (Falken RT660). I can’t wait to track it more.
What’s next? Nothing for a while. Going to feed it fluids, brakes and tires and enjoy it. I would honestly still have the CTR if the market weren’t so wild. Which is better? At least for the FK8, I prefer the EN in most ways. The main difference between the two is character. The FK8 does everything well but without fan fare or drama. Exactly the opposite of its boy racer looks. It’s like Honda set out to build the best hot hatch but forgot that being the best doesn’t necessarily make it the most fun. The EN is brimming with character. It has torque steer, the exhaust can make hilariously loud pops and bangs (and only if you want it to), and the seats light up. Hyundai knew that people want fun. Of course the Honda will have better resale value and potentially be more reliable but the EN makes me feel more, which is kind of why we buy these things.
Cons and quirks Only two front cup holders. Front door pocket bottle holders only hold small bottles/could be more usable. No rear climate vents, sorry kids. No adaptive cruise Rear strut bar limits pass through trunk storage but it is fairly easily removable.
Happy to answer any and all questions about the car.

I bought my car, a 2014 Hyundai Equus with 12k miles, including Maxcare in August of 2021. By January 2022 the front suspension went out so I took it to the Hyundai dealership, maxcare covered the front suspension and radio for the tune of 6k dollars. Never mind it took them 3 months to fix it, I was happy my warranty covered it all.
The suspension was good until around October of 2022. Then it started acting up again but would fix itself, usually just by restarting the car. By December it was worse, and the rear end suspension was now acting up. I take it back to Hyundai on December 1st 2022. A week goes by and I get a text letting me know my car is ready and no charge. I picked up the car but since the suspension button that usually raises and lowers the car on demand wasn’t working, I knew they didn’t actually fix it, it was just having a few good days.
Within a week of picking it up the suspension is acting up again. I decided this time I’m going to CarMax. I dropped it off at CarMax on February 1st 2023 the advisor made sure to let me know if they can’t find anything wrong with the car then I have to pay this diagnostic fee. The next morning I get the call from Carmax my car is ready! I head up to Carmax and greeted with a $100 diagnostic fee since nothing is wrong. So at this point I’m really losing my patience. We walk out to the car and it’s literally sitting in its axel (I have photo proof). Now that the advisor has seen the issue, he books the car back in to have it looked at for a 2nd time.
Around the end of February I get a call from the service manager letting me know when he was test driving my car they ran over a speed bump and ripped out the fender well, but they would fix it no charge. That’s great and all but what about the suspension? Supposedly, They don’t know what’s wrong.
Around the beginning of April of 2023 (Carmax has had my car for 2 months at this point) they take it to the same Hyundai dealership that couldn’t/didn’t fix it in December, and that’s where it’s at as I post this. About 2 weeks ago I’m notified the whole suspension needs to be replaced for 24k and they’re waiting for approval. This has been 2 weeks “waiting for approval”
Any thoughts, suggestions, what would you do?

Please redirect if not allowed. Went from a 2012 Hyundai Sonata to 2023 Kia EV6, so made a massive technological leap. Read on Reddit that AAAD is one resource to get YouTube videos on car display. Asked around and it seemed straight forward.
Get AAAD, install carstream and fermata, and neither work. Dev mode enabled on AA and unknown apps. Forget error, but carstream says something along the lines of no new information for this session.
Have tried off and on for over a month now, with no success. Also tried in wife's 2021 Hyundai Palisade with same error.
We both have Pixel 7s. AA version 9.4.631624-release. Has anyone else been able to get YT on car display with this version or a similar setup? Is there an AA downgrade I need to do? Thanks in advance!
PS: I'm not watching movies while driving. I put on documentaries and infotainment shows for my family to watch and listen, that I can easily listen to as well.

Hey all,
Anyone know when they might stop making the 23 models?
Not a fan of the 24 face lift and im trying to save up a bit more money for the 23 model.
Im afraid if I wait too long they will stop releasing the 23 model.

Lost the manual and couldn’t find any options online on how to use the child lock in Tucson . Any advice or manuals or videos are highly appreciated. Just realised the toddler started fiddling with it already

Might be hard to find in my price range but if possible I would appreciate the help!! 22 year old out of college and just got my first big boy job. Able to spend comfortably 20-30k and would want something either new or used with less than 30k miles. I currently finance a 2020 hyundai sonata SEL with 25k miles and was thinking of trading in, I have 18k left to pay.
I would be fine personally with something older but with my parents cosigning I feel the need to take their suggestions of the car being 2020 or later. I really would like something sporty and fun to drive and have thought so far about the elantra n line, kia forte gt, and the car I really wish I could afford, a GR86. This would not be a road trip type car, mainly just a fun daily driver. Please let me know if I am out of my league with the cars I am looking at and any alternatives! I am open to any suggestions.
Edit: My main reason for wanting a new car is dealerships around me are offering 21k for my car and I have 18k left to pay.

Hi!
I’m looking to buy a new 2023 LE AWD but there were none at the dealership I visited so I test drove a 2021 XLE AWD. Has anyone driven both and can speak to the driver’s seat?
Someone mentioned in the sub that that’s the main difference between them and now I’m worried. I was looking at the CR-V and counted it out because the driver’s seat didn’t fit my butt. It’s too cupped, kinda, and I just don’t fit. The XLE I tried was great but I don’t want to buy the LE and then it arrives, and it’s too small.
I’d be super appreciative if anyone has sat on both and can tell me if they felt much difference. Or if you’ve sat in an older LE and the 2023, and can tell me how they compare; then at least I can find an older model LE and go sit in it haha.
Thank you so much in advance!!

I don’t know a lot about cars, and I’m having a hard time choosing between a 2024 Kia Seltos EX premium or 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross LE Premium AWD, I’m in Canada FYI as I know there are differences between vehicles in different countries.
I recently had a Seltos as a rental car and I absolutely loved it compared to my sedan. I’m just hesitant with the reliability of a Kia long term.
I haven’t test drove or seen a Corolla Cross yet in person but I like how it looks based on what I’ve seen online, I should be able to test drive this week. I know Toyotas are known for reliability. I am also able to get a discount on a Toyota through family.
I’ve been told the wait time for a Seltos is 2-6 months, and for a Corolla Cross I’ve been told 3-12 months, these are based on what I’ve heard from multiple dealerships. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with my car so I’m not on a rush to replace it thankfully.
I am a person that drives about 30000 km a year, mostly highway driving with my commute to work, and I want to keep this vehicle for a long time. This is why I’m hesitant with getting the Seltos. I guess if I took good care of a Seltos with maintenance as per the schedule and have the full warranty I’d hope the car would stay in good condition long term. (I heard kias require more frequent oil changes?)
I know and have more faith that if Toyotas are taken care of they will last for the long run! The Corolla cross is also slightly better on gas, and I think the trim I’m interested in costs slightly less than the Seltos. Plus I’d get my family discount. There’s also the depreciation of my current vehicle if I have to wait a year for the Corolla cross (I have a 2019 Honda civic ex with 149000 km…)
I like both vehicles, so I guess I’m just questioning the long term reliability of kias….. I didn’t love the Hyundai Kona and financially the Honda HRV is out of the question… any advice or input would be appreciated!

Did back to back test drives yesterday, our first time driving an EV. Here are some of our (very subjective) impressions. We tested the Ioniq 5 first, a preferred stand range RWD version. The Model Y was a LR AWD version.
Looks: Man, the Ioniq 5 looks good, especially the matte painted version.
Space: For some reason, the Ioniq 5 felt bigger inside. I was a little surprised as I thought the Model Y was slightly bigger. The Model Y is still spacious though. Also sat in a EV6 (they didn't have one for test drive), I couldn't even sit up straight either front or back (it did have a sunroof though, maybe that's why). Plenty of head room for both Ioniq 5 and Model Y though.
Cargo Space: The Model Y wins easily here. Huge under floor and frunk space. Wife also thinks the boot is deeper on the Model Y. We didn't measure unfortunately.
Ride: One of my main worries was the ride quality of the Model Y. However, to be honest, they both felt pretty comfortable. Coming from a cheap car, I guess my standard is low. Maybe the Ioniq 5 was slightly better? At least it didn't stand out to me. The Model Y seemed to have horrible rear visibility though. Didn't notice that on the Ioniq.
Acceleration: Another surprise, neither felt amazingly quick. They both are very quick, but neither gave us the push back sensation a lot of reviewers said. They both are very smooth though. Probably would get a lot more speeding tickets with either.
Seat comfort: I felt the Ioniq 5's seats were better, but wife liked Tesla a bit more. I definitely didn't like the head rests in the Tesla. I also like the Ioniq 5 having the rear vent on the side although wife thought Tesla's AC was quieter.
Sunroof: No sunroof for the Ioniq 5 tester. Another worry I had was the Tesla's sunroof would be too hot. It was surprisingly tint. The sky didn't look as blue as in the ads, but it was also not very hot. I felt a little temperature above my head, but hardly noticeable.
One Pedal Drive: The Ioniq initially was much less aggressive until I turned i-pedal on. Even then, I think the Model Y was more aggressive. It's definitely something to get used to. I ended up stepping on the gas instead of the brake because my foot is usually on the brake at stop for my current car. I really like the pedal thing to adjust re-gen braking on the Ioniq 5.
Control interface: The Ioniq 5 is a lot more conventional with lots of buttons. I really don't like Tesla's reliant on the touch screen. We didn't get the side mirror adjusted correctly on either car. While on the Ioniq 5 I could easily adjust it, on the model Y I had to find it in the menu and then remember which wheel does what. Wasn't able to test voice control on either car.
Blind spot checks: The Ioniq 5's indicators on side mirrors might be more natural, but man, the model Y's visual thing was just so cool. I still don't like I had to look right to check left blind spot though. I also didn't like that the blind spot camera shows up on the same spot regardless whether I was turning left or right. The Ioniq 5 we tested didn't have that feature, but my understanding is that a higher trim one would show left turn on the left side and right turn on the right side. Still, I think Tesla's visual thing was just good and useful. For some reason, I thought the Ioniq 5's warning system was better, but I could be wrong.
Cameras: Tesla's side camera felt grainy although it works fine. However, I couldn't figure out how to bring up the camera view while driving. Had to use the turn signal to trigger it. There is a button on the Ioniq 5 to bring up the camera view at any time. I forgot to test backup parking with the Ioniq. The Tesla one was adequate and allowed me to get into a spot that I didn't think I could get in so easily.
Lane keeping: Another big surprise, the Ioniq 5's lane keeping was much better while I was expecting the opposite. For some reason, Tesla turn off autosteering after a lane change or something. I was never sure whether it was on or not whereas the Ioniq 5's lane keeping was always on once I enabled it. It also felt more aggressive and gave better warnings. It was amazingly good while I was very confused by the Tesla one and drifted across the line multiple times. There is also a dedicated button to turn it on on the Ioniq 5, Tesla's control is again confusing.
Infotainment: The kids had a blast on the Tesla playing games, but otherwise I didn't feel much difference. Wife liked the two screen setup in the Ioniq 5 much better. I thought the 12 inch screen was not enough in height, making navigation harder. Tesla's navigation felt a lot better although it was nowhere as good as my Apple map which would tell you which red light to turn. We ended up missing a turn with the Tesla. No Apple carplay will be a big downside.
Overall, we both liked the Ioniq 5 better, but agreed that the Tesla with more cargo space would be more practical. Then came the kicker. The Hyundai sales person said the wait time for the Ioniq 5 was 2 years, but we were in luck, since they got a slightly used one for sale. Not only it wouldn't qualify for government rebate ($5K in Canada) and it's about $8K above MSRP for a new car. In the mean time, Tesla said the price I saw online is the price I need to pay ($60K + destination), no need to negotiate and I could get the car in 2 weeks. :D Sigh...
p.s. I want to clarify that I only had 20 mins with Ioniq 5 and 30 mins with the Tesla. The traffic was horrible. The Tesla was also speed limited (I think 137km/hr) for the test drive, not that I was able to hit it anyway. The only acceleration test I could do was probably from 50km/hr to 100km/hr. Any slower I would be blocking traffic and any faster I would be pulled over (local highway has a speed limit of 80km/hr). I don't care about acceleration that much so I didn't go out of my way to do a 0-100 test. These are only my initial observations, not meant to be an objective review of the cars.

So I'm not 100% new. I've plastidipped wheels and grille on one of my older vehicles. I just got a 2023 cx30 and first order of business was shadow black hyperdip all chrome/alloy on the vehicle. hyperdip itself is new to me though
I've already done front grille, roof racks, wheels, side window chrome. All areas look good despite some minor imperfections that I don't think 99% of people would ever notice.
But what I expected to be the easiest part, has proven to the the hardest. The rear Mazda and CX-30 logos. I'm on attempt #3, currently on 3 of 6 wet coats waiting for it to dry.
Every single time so far both emblems, when peeling at the end, have peeled back over the chrome. both previous attempts it happened at the same spot on the emblems and based on what I'm seeing as of wet coat 3, I feel like it's going to happen again. I just can't figure out where things are going wrong on these specific areas. I'm taking extra care to clean the surface and to make sure it's dry. 2 light tack coats then 6 wet out coats changing the direction I come in from each time. It just will not cut cleanly around these 2 areas. It's driving me fucking nuts. the AWD emblem was such a pain in the ass the first 2 times I straight up removed it for this third attempt. If I decide I want the AWD back I'll just buy an already black one. In fact, if this 3rd attempt fails I'm likely to just give up and buy black ones to replace the chrome.
For the record, I'm doing this in ~68 degree weather with 42% humidity and placed the can in bowl of warm water between coats. I've watched this video like 5 times to make sure I wasn't overlooking something.
You can see in the photo how it's almost bridging itself in some areas. To this would imply moisture but I can't even understand how it could be with the car I took and the exact same spots for 3 straight attemtps
