@@ShotByAScotsame had mine 2 months - if I am feeling down I just in, just makes me smile The analogue feel with the clutch and manual (gearbox is sublime) and it’s fun getting it on 3 wheels around roundabouts and doing over 1g of lateral force 😂😂
@@EastWood2004I’ve never driven a new GTI. But from reviews, it’s more fun yes. Might even be faster round twisty tracks too considering an i30n is and the i20n is usually right behind it’s big brother. The Golf is FAT 😆
This car should come with an apology letter to your significant other. Apologising for random laughs and giggles it creates when you drive! Love mine, its an total hoot!
I’ve had my N-line i20 since November and can say that’s fast enough for grandad here! It’s a lovely looking car that’s amazing to drive. Can you do a video on how to use cruise control? I’ve seen that you can set it for speed limit
Couldn't agree more! We will be working on some videos in the latter half of the year that will be (generic) but will teach people how to use every aspect of their car. cruse is the first on the list
if you hold down the cruise control button on the I20N- line it'll set the speed limiter, you change it then with the cruise control buttons.. took me ages to figure that out on my own I20N
I think I've seen all the reviews on youtube about i20N. With a few worlds, yours is one of the best! :) Mine should arrive in a couple of weeks after 11 months of waiting (I live in Italy). I think I regret to have ordered it with the black roof 😫 The one in your video is beautiful!
No stick with the fiesta st, I owned a st and changed for a i20n both are the same, yet tyres on fiesta st last 12,000 miles, I’ve drove my i20n from new and front tyres need changed and only done 4500 miles and not even pushed the car that’s just going work and shopping etc
Hardly a reason to sell the i20N. Just fit a set of Pilot Sport 4s (or similar..) as others have done. Based on plenty of other similar comments, I'm expecting to have to swap the P-Zeros on mine early. Only 2K miles so far but all good!
Both great cars but prefer the Polo GTi in all honesty. Just as fast but much more luxurious. Also we all know the tuning ability of the 2.0l EA888 engine.
@@MrGulyothe global EV agenda and decreasing profit margins on small performance cars has killed production of the i20N and the Fiesta ST. Mid-size performance cars have shot up in price post-pandemic and manufactureres are 'adjusting' overall production volumes to make EVs a greater proportion (to keep in line with govt legislation/targets for full EV). The Ioniq 5N shows the 'future' of performance motoring (Sigh...). I'll be keeping my i20N for as long as possible
Unlikely they will make this thing as a DCT model, the 8 speed wet DCT from the i30N is simply too heavy and big and the 7-speed dry DCTs likely wouldnt work well in a hot hatch.
The engine's more than 17yrs old since inception, why would you want to pay big money for something so antiquated by today's standards, big pass from me!
Ridiculously oversized and under powered. It's no faster than my 2017 DS3 D Sport which is a 1.6L turbo. Desperately needs a 2.0L engine in a 5 door model.
Except this has more tech, more room, quicker around a track, makes a better noise and has a better warranty. Where are you possibly getting oversized and under powered from ? This car is quicker around a track than any car of its class.
@@ashcosmo3854 I wouldn't call any 5 door car with a 1.6L engine a hot hatch. It's about the size of 5 door Focus ST, and probably about the same weight. Bear in mind the original Focus STs were 2.5L turbocharged, and would bring your breakfast up if you wern't careful. My dad had one, so I know. I'd probably have the Polo GTI over the Hyundai and Ford. More refined and practical, and probably has better resale value.
@jivebunny3765 It's the same size as a fiesta ST and weighs just over a tonne. It gets to 100 as quick as the manual Focus ST too. There's really no argument about it having a 1.6L when it performs as well as it does.
Any questions please let us know!
How is it when the roads aren't too good (the UK seems to have turned into a pothole nature reserve)?
Hi, is it radar cruise control or just regular cruise control? Thanks
Is it better than the GR Yaris???
I've had the i20N since Oct 2021 and I can tell you it's still just as fun and exciting to drive as when I first got it.
I have it from April 2022 and I say the same - I loves that car more and more. It has ca 8000 miles and for now all is super 😀
Same and agree! I can’t see anything ever making me want to not own this car other than death.

did you sell it?

What a great review thanks. I have just purchased a brand new one and it’s so much fun just like your review 👍
Well done on an excellent video. You tick all the boxes for a great Presenter :)
Thank you so much.
I am having mine soon traded in my Fiesta ST Edition. Looks like a great car to drive.
Good choice!
Best review by far on this hot hatch congratulations I pretty sure the i20n will my next car what jack of all trades daily driver
Thank you very much
Just ordered ordered one today same colour with the black roof.. Got a good deal ..Happy
Get ready for a very long wait my friend 😮
@@ljp1942 I have been waiting for a year... it makes me crazy. Dealer's guess is 15 months... :(

Not something I would personally turn on in the car.
Subscribed what a great presentation…thank you
Thank You for subbing!
Get my black Bose equipped one on Good Friday, only taken a year wait
Hi sir good review but I like this car very much but Hyundai has not introduced it in Indian market till now and don't know why 😢
Loving the manual handbrake comment. Totally agree with you! A mystery for sure 😂
Looks like a bargain for the amount of kit and performance you get, shame the badge will put a lot of people off

I think the black roof is painted at the dealership and not in the factory, at least in Greece. try calling the dealership and see if that's the case
No, in Europe black painting is in factory (ist painted from innen too, its inpossible in dealer). And black roof is the best!
@Marek @Dionysios Thanks guys! :)
You are far too kind.
my dream car
how did you find the suspension? worried about getting one with having my 3 year old in the back and Mrs beside me getting knocked about
I like a firm ride. This is firm. Would recommend driving one with the wife and kids.
As long as misses not being KOed by her knockers, you should be fine and enjoy it!🤣
Attractive little car.

The polo is nearly £4000 more expensive and has options as well though
@@EdenMotorGroup And it lacks an LSD, which is the big reason the i20N handles so well.
Lol luxurious? 😂😂😂 a Polo?
I have some money saved that my wife doesnt know about - is there a way i could trick her into thinking this is just regular i20?
there is always a way
Sure. Tell her it's a mildly de-bdged "N-Line" model and fit N-Line interior mats (they aren't a perfect fit but will do the job..)
DCT I20 N PLEASE ,
Nope. It is what it's meant to be.
DISCONTINUED NOW IN EUROPE.
Why?
@@MrGulyo Fecking EU "green" policy. Hyundai completely shut down N cars with combustible engines production for Europe.

Shitty they dont make this in automatic because my entire work commute is one hill track.

Not the car for you, if you're thinking that way.

17 year old engine ? How did you POSSIBLY get to that conclusion ? Please do amuse us.

@jivebunny3765 Does it matter if it's just as fast ? Fiesta ST is 3 cylinder.. you could say that's too small ?
