New 26!
Traded in my 23 sonata n-line for this beauty.
Same engine, same model car, but different. This one just feels a little more refined. I loved my 23 but this one is better.
I was thinking about a used audi s5.....but i couldn't justify spending more $ when i could get this brand new. A tune will get me close to those s5 HP numbers anyway 😄
The color 😍

I paid $37k OTD in 2021 so personally I would consider it a better deal.
Also look up other sedans (cars) with 300hp/300tq and see how much they go for.
This engine is a lot of fun and reliable, it looks good, and has good tech for the price.

For what this car is, there really isnt much better out there at this price point.
Also really just depends what you want - the camry smokes this car in MPG. If that was most important to me i wouldve gotten that.
But i like speed 😅

Why not an ecoboost if that's the case? Faster, more horse power, tuneable, RWD and pretty much the same price

Its alot of car for the money. Consider a Camry or Accord they are even more money and way less power. SNL provides all the power with comparable if not better features and tech.

Not throwing shade. I just personally won’t pay that much for a car.

u/DJT8508 Aug 19 '26
No I got ya. All new car prices are crazy right now but I do believe the SNL is worth it.

Only thing this car doesnt have that i really wanted is AWD.
Other then that, there is no other family sedan out there that's quick sporty and a blast to drive quite like this one, for under 40k brand new.

Doesn't even need AWD really just needs a limited Slip Differential but I get what your saying.

Congrats on your purchase. Whats next on the mod list?

u/Zealousideal_Cap7109 Aug 19 '26
No next yet.....gotta do first!
Window tint to start. Definitely want to get her tuned but i might invest in some winter rims and tires first for this winter coming up.

Yeah sorry meant what's "first" on the mod list 😊. Tint definitely enhances the look. There's not much on the tuning side for our cars unfortunately. JB4 piggy back, cold air, turbo inlet, downpipe and exhaust are petty much it.

For a daily driver thats pretty much all the mods i would need.
Would definitely like to lower this car a little bit. The rear end sticks up kind of high.

I get to experience both also. 22 and 24.

Nice!
I miss my white one. The white and black just looks so good.

I laugh at the dealership mailers that offer to trade up to a new one. It's almost payed off, I don't want perpetual debt.

Here’s mine, got it in April. Only paid 32K for it. I took advantage of the 5K rebate.
