The Hyundai Elantra N seems to have it all. The best horsepower-per-dollar ratio, the option for a manual or a quick-shifting dual-clutch automatic, an active exhaust that sounds great (but only when you want it to), and adaptive dampers that can transform the ride from smooth to stiff at the push of a button. It’s got exciting looks on the outside and a properly sporty interior, with heavily-bolstered seats, a unique steering wheel with fun buttons to access the various performance modes, and fun-looking gauges and menus for the gauge cluster screen and infotainment.
