  • A Hyundai hot hatch? Yes, you heard me right. Hyundai's finally thrown its hat into the performance car ring with the new i30 N - the first in a range of N-branded products from the Korean manufacturer. I jump behind the wheel to give you my verdict on this new VW Golf GTI and Honda Civic Type R rival.

    I love this car. It's fast, it's manual, it has auto rev matching, it's turbo, it pops and bangs, it has 5 years of warranty, it's cheap.

      I'm the type of buyer that is in the market for a 570s or 720s. This i30n is a cute hatch that would knock the socks off my daily commuter car. I like it alot, as the next alternative is a boring hybrid or family compact. Those who make such comments do not have the financial prowess to validate their comments. Such blind pretentious fools.

      It's understandable as car culture is quite literally nonexistent in Korea. All they want is big black sedans with a lot of vulgar chrome to decorate the facade of their houses. Cars are just accessories to make you look important, not something you actually drive and have fun in over there in your country.

    I have recently tested i30N and VW Golf GTI and I would definitely choose i30N. GTI felt like normal Golf with red details in interior and a bit stronger engine while i30N feels more like sports car. The handling, shiftlights, steering, clutch, seats, sound....Hyundai wins in all of this. Golf still wins in everyday practicality, street rep and build quality.

    So a Golf GTI performance with similar spec is around £4-5k more expensive, has less power and a shorter warranty. What's even more amusing is that pretty much every review says if you want a fast Golf just buy the R, which a lot of people seem to be doing. It might have it's shortfalls in certain areas but personally I think this looks like a great car and good value for money when you consider how versatile and adjustable it is.

Thanks to companies like this, BMW and benz gets even stronger and better

      Noble Vigilance I am not a fanboy of anything. I just happen to use critical thinking and logic when it comes to analyzing cars. Your perception of German cars is skewed. They are not what they used to be and cannot compete on price and features with the Koreans and Japanese. That's why they have resorted to pumping out shitboxes like the CLA and A class, which are stripped out, poverty pack piles of junk. All you are paying for is the badge. Not to mention their reliability is utter shit.

      Also, the front of the GTI is well designed but the back... What happened there? It's so plain. And the side profile with those ugly wheels I've never been a fan of. It looks too childish. Panoramic sunroof on the GTI? Even the interior I think is not as nice as the NLine. The only thing it has going is a flat bottom steering wheel and a really good design of the front bumper and headlights. The rest of the car is too square and flat. The NLine is not quite as quick as a GTI but I'm sure with a tune and some other mods you can get a few more horsies. All around I think the NLine is better than a GTI.

      @limpet7r63 3 роки тому

      I agree. Badge snobbery is the only reason to choose a GTI over one of these. The Hyundai is faster, handles better, sounds better, is more fun to drive, is no less well engineered (Biermann's influence runs deep), better equipped, just as easy to live with daily, will be more reliable (compare Hyundai and VW positions in any reliability survey), has a longer warranty (which also covers track use), is cheaper, and holds its value just as well. All I will say after living with the i30N for a bit is the Golf will probably be better on fuel.

My own i20 's engine give in at only 35000 miles with full dealer service history . Within 2 years it had rust on the tailgate and doors alloys peeled gearbox leaked oil etc etc , the list is endless it was done in by 4 year's I had to get rid as Hyundai's 5 year warranty isn't worth the paper it's written on they try to get out of every repair and the attitude is , well you bought it . My friend's diesel ix35s engine managed 50000 miles before it threw a piston on the motorway . I could go on forever . I now own a Toyota auris and have had no issues whatsoever using it to earn my living in all day 6 days a week . Every person I know who had owned a Hyundai has been plagued with problem's .

But now they have gone mainstream seems they have tried to run before they can walk. I only say this cos I would hate anyone to spend 4 years the way I did when the relly on there car so much .

Some people just don't get it cause they haven't actually test drove some of the newer ones. Sure it's not my cup of tea apart from this new i30 N version. I bet it's the same people who says BMW isn't reliable etc. Can never ever make these people happy. They live to complain about everything.

    Watched 3 'reviews' on the i30N before coming across your video - very well done! All the others were poorly scripted, poorly cut and the content was lacking. I loved that you jumped right into the action, and shotgunned the tabulated data out. Thanks for the review, and comedies in between!

I've been the proud owner of a VN PP in PB for 8 months now and the experience has been superb to say the least. Thank God for Albert Biermann joining the Korean domestic market. I love my car, thank you for bringing it to my attention first Mr Watson!

    Actually, if I was in a market for a Golf GTI i would very much look at this car since i feel it brings much more to the table for the same amount of money. It may not have the plush materials and the badge but has everything else.
    Other than that, this segment is getting really interesting, theres never been so many hot hatches on the market with even more to come :)

      I don't understand. Since when is a VW badge something we crave for? In my opinion it is the least premium badge one can have! Boring, cheap and unreliable cars, the only reason they sell well is because VW has somehow become trendy these days, and it is obviously known that people would rather be stupid than non-trendy. Smh...

    My only concern with this car is sadly it's residuals, will it drop its value faster than it's more established, mainstream alternatives.
    But on the flip side the warranty seems really good on them being 5 year unlimited mileage, which is highly unusual compared to its competition.
    I haven't heard many negatives for this except for it being abit underpowered compared to its rivals.
    I might have a look at these next year when my M235i is 4 years old as I am struggling to work out what to go to next.

    • @andreim841

      Other Hyundai owner here, Andrei's experience is unfortunate but I don't have the same experience at all. I complained about a minor rattle that you could hear intermittently going over rough surfaces. They couldn't hear anything but took my word for it and tore the interior down looking for it. They found a cable in the headliner that was not clipped in. Way better than my experiences on my earlier cars (German), where the manufacturer garage assume you are lying when you bring up a fault, or say that it's "supposed to do that".

    • @AdamWeeks
      @AdamWeeks 6 років тому

    i think it's pretty wow, i'd take this over a golf any day of the week....i have a 2014 elantra GT fully loaded and I love it..this looks like the ultimate version of the GT. This styling is awesome!
