Engine noises and gearshifts for Hyundai's track-honed mega-hatch

Huh. Interesting that they changed the center console. No more wide open floor.
- And finally added a rear wiper. Its absence is why I didn’t consider one of these.
  
  It is a bit of an inconvenience in the rainy months for sure, but I get by with using only the side mirrors. Which isn't all that different from when I have the back loaded with cargo, or my dog, or my bike rack, or if someone's sitting in the middle seat... so it's actually not that big of a problem. My view out the rear window is blocked half the time anyway.
Hyundai N has added an artificial gearbox and engine sound in a bid to capture the spirit of a traditional petrol hot hatch.

Two of the reasons I prefer EVs... Someone doesn't know their target audience
- thankfully they can be turned off
  
  I think it's a dumb feature too. I can stimulate loss of power by taking my foot off the pedal.
- Are you the target though? Wouldn't you just get a limited? The N is for the motor head.
  
  I can want the extra power and improved handling without fake engine noises.
Looks like it’s going to be a fun little car.

No thanks. lots more interesting cars for that price. Couldn't care less about the 0-60 time.
Happy that they added some extra flair to the front end. That was the most boring part of the car IMO.
