Idiot.

The funniest part is the first paragraph:
A Pickering, Ont., student going to **college to be a mechanic** is shocked the engine in his two-year-old car will not be repaired under warranty after the dealership claimed he had been “over-revving” the engine.

Are you trying to tell me it doesn’t have a rev limiter from factory? Going up to redline should be no issue. If it can’t handle the set redline that redline needs to be reduced

he took ‘revving up’ to a whole new level!

>Limiter is at 6700 rpm. 7200 (+500) rpm is the maximum limit of an overrev covered by warranty.
Found this after a quick search.

Saw this earlier…guy money shifted at some point, ECU doesn’t lie, might not have blown up the engine on the money shift, but it damaged something that caused eventual failure.
(money shift = wrong gear at high speed with manual trans)

Dear kid. You bought a car that you thought was a race car. But it’s not.
You also bought the extended warranty thinking Hyundai would replace whatever you break while racing your not a race car. But they won’t. Today’s lesson is. It’s not a race car, and You’re not a big dawg because you bought extended warranty . Just a sucker.
It’s shocking how people can be this stupid. How would you expect a company to suddenly start paying for damage caused by abuse? It doesn’t matter if it’s a performance model, it still has limits. You can’t repeatedly redline a race engine either without damaging it. The redline means the engine can’t handle that speed.
Also, what sort of genius thinks they can race their daily driver and still have it last a decent amount of time? Racing is by definition abusive to a car. Someone’s watched too much Fast and Furious.

Did he just tell them he was over revving? That’s funny

Red line is put in place because engineers consider it’s the safe upper operating range of an engine. You should be able to red line it as much as you want and still be covered by warranty; because the manufacturer was the one who built the car to rev at 7k rpm and sold it to you saying it is safe to do so.

This is pretty black and white in my opinion. Is over revving a clause in the warranty contact? If not they should be covering, and if they won’t he should sue.

The Elantra “N” (not to be confused with “N-Line” which is basically a kinda sporty commuter daily) is basically a “I can’t afford an actual performance car” vehicle, which is why a lot of really young people buy them. They aren’t really built to stand up to a real performance car despite the misleading marketing. The only way I’d ever take one of those N’s to a track is if I had F-U money to throw it away and bought it just for the hell of it. On a side note, you’d also be an idiot to ever buy a used one for obvious reasons (yes I know this one wasn’t used, just sayin’). There’s a ton of wannabe racerbois driving cars like this into the ground nowadays and then trading them in

LMAO [look at the advertising that Hyundai does for this car.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYG_jKZ6HFg&t=11s) That’s the video on the product page, ironic.
