I have to say I read all the comments to this video and I thought to reply for one reason. I own the I30N Performance so I speak from experience to read the comments people have left regarding this car they seem to put a downer on this Hyundia which is not exactly true why everyone is dumping on this fantastic wee car. Yes I have the March 2018 model the one in this video was the 2019 model had a slight upgrade.
The problems I experienced were I had the alarm problem got that fixed, 5th & 6th gear synchro rings sticking I got that fixed under warranty, the ECU was replaced under warranty, I did not have the head liner wiring rattle problem, or widow rattle or phone call problems, I still have the radio problem as it will on occasional conditions just turn off then reboot, it does not happen as often and I don't really bother about it. The car seats are velour material like a felt nap I never had the problem spoken about in the video and the place where I park my arse while driving still looks as good as the day I got the car from new. Front head lights still fog up got those replaced under warranty and they still fog up on cold days so don't know what's happening there though it does clear with time this only happens in the colder weather conditions. I hope the front day light running / indicator lights never go faulty as that piece of plastic costs £1000 + vat per fog light, ouch.
My car is now out of warranty just had it's 5th service roughly £180 plus one years breakdown cover thrown in so not bad really. The car is solidly built I have had my car sitting for 10 weeks as I broke my leg it was in a cast when I was able to drive again the battery was flat so I charged the car battery threw it back into the car and pressed the start stop button and vroom away it went never misses a heart beat.
Don't read to much into other people lambasting this wee car or believe what other write regarding the reliability of the Hyundai i30N, I'm keeping my i30n for a very long time as it is both reliable and trouble free it has 70,000 miles on the clock and it goes like a rocket, I'm telling you it is the best fun car to drive.
This is to @PabloM5 I have mud flaps on my I30n in fact I have a full body kit, and OZ Alloys Induction kit, a few other treats under the hood makes my car look & sound different not by much as you wouldn't notice as it is very subtle no remap as it doesn't need it, I like the mud flaps on my car other people have told me they look ghastly take them off no I'm keeping them on as I like them.
Finally. I don't usually write reviews but I own this car in question and I know it is a well screwed together car it wall last you as long as any other car on the road and maybe fair bit longer.
Buy this car you definitely wont be disappointed, and as they have been discontinued by Hyundai so from 2024 you wont be able to buy any more because of the Euro 7 emissions regulations for greener hybrids family orientated SUV type vehicles so these I30N's they will become quite a rare car on the open road I think I have seen five I30N cars in total so it is good that you don't see very many on the open road, everyone looks at car and I get asked questions while filling up at a gas station so everyone want to look and chat about the car it its amazing the response I get from folks it does turn heads that's for sure.
Finally the front hood weighs a ton I am amazed at the weight as usually South Korean made cars are light not the Hyundai I30N, not bad for a construction company that was founded by Chung Ju Yung in 1947.
Sorry for the long essay but I had a lot to say. Peace, respect.
man reading your comment put really smile on my face. i bought my n last year 2023 dct version and i cant say how much fun im having with the car, its my daily car and it can be regular car but with switch of a button you unleash this beast. there are ofc some things i dont like, like for example poor front lights,sound systen, materials inside cabin and some squeaking noise from back of the car during sporty drive but i wanted to buy this car for many years and finaly was able to afford it and i can only recommend to anyone who is thinking about i30n to just get the car. everytime i walk away from my car i have to turn back and look how sexy that car look. i just love it.
Are the seats comfortable?
@@souztaks5804 well i choose those bucket seats not for
comfort
but for driving experience. but so far i havent had any discomfort while driving for longer period. definetly if you are bigger guy they might be not the best option
The Hyundai 2019 130n great chassis and a great engine. A match for the Ford 2020 ST 2.3 Focus. And the best Golf GTI 2019 mark 7.5. Hyundai 5 year warranty.
The Ns are already quite rare tbh
Phone call problem the speakers is fixed with a software update. I've had two an I'm getting the facelift version next week.
I've been a main dealer master technician working on many brands over 38 years and I can recommend this car. 👌
Know you ain't speaking to me but like to say your reviews are getting better and better 👍🏻
Great little buyers guide, another great car, Hyundai have really got a great little hot hatch.
bought ym 2020 of this and had gearbox issue fixed and it has been perfect since then. warranty has worked perfect by hyundai, can recommend these little beasts.
You shouldve picked manual
I like automatic so what?
Subscribed mate ❤️
Very interesting, subscribed as asked
Thank you!
Pick mine up this week yeah we going to boost it 💨
What a legend, great video man. Car sounds great, the colour is dirt and the interior needed more attention. Em wishes she heard from you before buying :) keep up the good work lads👍
Color is dirt?
Fuel issues were with very first cars late 2017 (67). Alarm issue can be if you back car too close to a wall. The rear parking sensors can cause the alarm to go off as they for part of the perimeter alarm system, I think. Seat creases on drivers bolster is common and normally pretty bad. Infotainment system can get too hot especially on sunny days causing it to switch off. 5th and 8th gear issue can be due to gearbox oil very cold along with selector . A very good car to drive but wheel hop really bad especially if tyres are cold. For similar money a used Audi S3 will leave the Hyundai for dead because it needs 4 wheel drive to plant the power. However on a track the Hyundai can be more fun and so much nicer than a Golf GTI (even club sport not very good). 7 out of 10 seems fair and the I30N is cheaper to insure. Yes I owned a I30N and miss it.
Good comment
@R B Give us more clue. How much money did you spend on fixing those issues? Average service costs? How many km did you do in total?
@@dennispapadopoulos7279 Gear box was done under warranty as it was a known issue. Rear parking sensor issue was fixed by not parking too close to a wall etc. service cost was £200 ish
What happened to your i30 n?
@@SmDWeed I sold it and got an Audi S3 which wasn't as much fun to drive as it was fast but auto so boring.
Nice review! Interested in I20N review, do you have plans to review one?
Thanks so much for this comment! Really appreciate it. AND ...we're at 7k now ;-)
Just subscribed, I have a 22 plate Kona N, great car but I do occasionally hear a rattle, appears to be around the dash/windscreen area or possibly the head up display, but it is a far better built car than my AMG A35 was, that was the worst car I’d ever owned, it rattled from everywhere and the Mercedes dealer never managed to fix it to my satisfaction, I’ve actually owned 4 Mercedes cars since 2012 and have had problems with all of them.
I’m thinking of getting one off the automatic’s any other things I should look out for on a 21/22 plate all advice appreciated
I just subscribed, only because of your accent!
The accent is love or hate! Thank you very much :)
This helped alot... do u recommend a second hand one?... i found on auction. And i Love this car so much. Should i get it?
Did you end up getting it ?
What kind of brakes did u switch to?
Subscribed to the channel. Nothing against scotland or scottish folk but i think the channel name needs to change or needs a subheading. Something more on the nose like "SCC Common faults for used cars" or something would make more sense, hopefully get you more views and grow the channel. Useful advice on this channel, just needs more exposure.
IMO the best looking modern HH
Inclined to agree its up there Boab!
So you think the dct is better than manual?
Good one to check is the steering wheel buttons cracking had a few at my dealership for warranty
Thanks for the input!
I have a 2021 n performance manual (facelift model) pretty sure most of these issues have been rectified from factory now. Havent had any issues with any points of my car so far and have put 16,000 kilometers on it since getting it 6 months ago.
It's my dream car, i hope i will get one in couple years
wait till it will be 10 year old car....
Whats the alternative really? Doesnt it get 10/10 at its price? All these issues but you have a 5 year warranty, whats there to complain about?
Ai wuud have luuved to hear about the problems, but Ai naerly understand a wurd yu saeng. Thanks for the texts, makes ait a laittle beit easer!
Oh come on now 😅 😂 Is my accent that thick!? Thanks for watching dude!
@@ScottishCarClan I should add, that I'm German, which makes it even harder to understand :D But, tbh, it was also very funny to watch :D
I've had Hyundai's my whole life, and every single one had fuel pump issues, where it sounds like its hard for it to start up. But on the i30n it happens but only when the car has been sitting there for a few days it occurs.
I can over look that 😆
Em needs jail time for adding those rear mud guards and for also looking at you funny for revving a car that’s literally designed to rev. Imagine owning this and not ever doing launch control, that’s why the base model i30 exists
does the standard i30N (250 PS) have a good exhaust sound with the pop bang?
No just the performance
Do they have a DSG auto version ?
Donde puedo conseguir las pegatinas N de los asientos?
Could you do the new 2022 model
Worth saving about $15k AUD to buy a used model over a brand new facelift with the DCT?
For sure in my opinion. Let someone else take the depreciation hit!
Great car, I've had fuel door problems with mine, hard to open, hard to close. Can take awhile to do both. Other than that it's been great.
@@TRACKSTARRR I'll respect your opinion if you've actually been behind the wheel of one. If not....
You need to drive one if you haven't already!
@@TRACKSTARRR As someone who has been lucky enough to daily drive both a 2013 mercedes c250 coupe and an 2017 audi s3 hatchback, I can pretty much say that the i30N is the most fun car and the high touch points of the vehicle is good quality. This is after a recent “full-send” test drive of my mate’s i30N premium DCT. Sure, the build quality isn’t as premium as the european models, but fun factor and reliability is high with a 5 year warranty. Just depends how much u care about “luxury” and “refinement” vs “performance” and “fun factor”.
@@TRACKSTARRR was to just show that I have been in European vehicles which have nicer materials and whether that is necessary in a car like the i30N. JDM cars are so popular at least here in Australia and they have cheap interior plastic but the cars are raw and engaging to drive.
Honestly the carbon Version is so much better with the manual transmission,lesssweight, better suspession and more fun to drive 🤤
Hello where is the best place to get one of these second hand? Don't really see the point in brand new
Hey thanks for problems report
I want to order brand new one 2022 model with automatic trannsmision (dct)
Any knows problems?
Thanks!
I subscribe
Thanks Marco! No real issues in the dct to report. I think it’s a gearbox that’ll really suit the car too.
Hey, just wondering what the reliability on the new DCT i30N & Elantra/Avante N is like compared to the old model shown?
Thanks.
Hey! The DCT is still very new so it's hard to gauge reliability. We haven't seen any big problems as of yet. It does use a wet clutch system which is generally the most reliable set up. On the test drive watch out for any juddering or harsh gear changes as these systems are quite refined now. The Elantra & Avante N's we'll cover in seperate videos from the i30n soon!
@Caravaggio it’s a beautiful thing 👍🏼
Hey Shane! I own a DCT within the first three months I need a fuel injector and a full set of spark plugs car was off the road for 2 months waiting on the parts.
Well nothing is perfect but still the car is amazing
I own the 2022 facelift i30n all these problems have been resolved. Accept for the sound system , you definitely need a amp installed.
A dude I know who ownes a pre facelift said that the latest update improved the sound system, did you noticed that?
Nice comment... it's something I didn't try out too much was the stereo so that some great insight.
a 7:10 because a minority of issues ,that dont happen in the majority of the cars , you can have a missus who is a 10/10 but she is going to have issues lol ,, but like your hot missus , this car is satisfies you in more ways than one , owned mine for a year and love it , now just have to find that 10 out 10 missus lol
It'd be better with DCT and without the awful blow-off valves.
Do we know if these issues still exist for 2023 & 2024 I30N?
dont worry about it, its a 5 year warranty
@@jamiedyer7782 Correct, but it's still an issue, something that upsets people. So, I don't want to depend on the 5-year warranty for trust. 😄
@@flap1xx trust is a human concept it doesn't actually exist, you can't ever say for sure that one car is better than another but a 5 year warranty speaks for itself, they know what they're doing
Emma is 10/10
You're not getting a buyers guide there...
Hi was wanting to buy one of these whats insurance cost like?
I have an I30n and it's the cheapest out of all the HH. in comparison to GTI, Cupra etc
Seems cheaper than most other comparable cars! If insurance is a concern definitely check this car out.
Not very keen tbh. I got 3.3k around my area.
Why is it so heavy is my number 1 question? GTI, ST, Type R, RS all lighter.
My guess would be all the electronics inside the car it’s rammed full of gimmicks and controls plus they tried hard to keep it a normal car when you want it to be so there’s still a lot of sound insulation etc where the likes of type r and rs cars throw that away for a rawcus feel to the car the N uses electronics to change the feeling plus the likes of electric seats etc all add weight. They could of stripped some weight by added thinks like aluminium bonnet and things like that but, that adds the £££ on top and they wanted to keep the cost down. So I think it’s the lesser of two evils either charge what Volkswagen and Honda charge or stick with the weight and it still has amazing capabilities.
Chassis reinforcements, a lot of them, the i30 platform is a kia ceed platform so they needed a lot of reinforcements to make it as good as it is.
Imagine the golf their 1st car was the best. Now the 130n Hyundai could be the best. Well let's say it should be a 9 not a 7. Thanks.
How is the Hyundai kona N
Haven’t had one in the garage as of yet so can’t comment! Sorry.
where can u get the cars in the uk ive been trying to find them but it just seems impossible
You mean the car? AutoTrader has tons spread out across the UK, or you can just go to a Hyundai dealer to get brand new.
Well, Ema is beatifull 😊
Is this english?
7/10? that is a great score if it comes from a Scotsperson
Do they all come with an anonymous random shifty bloke in the rear passenger seat?
Yeah mate common problem on this model
So basically if you want this car be prepared to have tonnes of problems 😂 not what you want from a car like this if I was you I’d save up a little more and get a focus RS
Which were releasing a buyers guide on next weekend 😁
And the Focus RS doesn’t have issues 😂😂😂
@@stevenwilkins3687earliy models used head gasket from the ecoboost mustang, which tends to crack. 😬
I wouldn’t trust any new car if i were you they are nowhere near as reliable as older cars.
Queue all the prank calls to that dude who's number you showed on screen!
It was intentional 😂 have at it…
@@ScottishCarClan great review tho, very handy to know what to look out for and all in one place instead of trawling the web 👍
@@DaveRogers1985 Thanks Dave! That’s our goal
DO NOT BUY AN i30. Engine will die around 100k.
how you know that?
i would have censored your mates mobile number there
Where’s the fun in that 😁
Just came again to watch and not subscribe, thank u
These things are junk.
They are so cheaply made, seats fall apart. Dash rattles. Doors rattle. Windows rattle. The battery fails when parked up for longer than a week. The steering wheel marks just by looking at it. The infotainment screen is soft plastic and flexes when you press it. The paint is so thin it chips just from cold weather. The turbo actuator arm linkage will fail. The exhaust manifold will rattle. The bushings fail before 30k miles.
Looks great, but an absolute load of cheap plastic rubbish.
Don't touch the DCT, the clutch pack will fail and Hyundai will laugh at you when you try to make a warranty claim (ask me how I know!).
Have you owned one of these ?
@@aadilali3948I doubt it 🤔🙄
There are a lot of people in the american forums complaining about all those aspects when they get over 50k miles.
No problem with ours ,
Made by Kia
It’s What to expect
Buy old is better
1jz or old Corolla and add turbo
Hyundai owns Kia 😂
7/10 might as well get a S3
🥱🥱🥱🥱 boring
I'm never buying a German car again after owning my N. The most exciting car I've owned.
@@HyperBiker mate German would eat this N for breakfast . You would rather take an N over a S3 or golf R . goes to show how much h you really know about cars lol
@@islamicreminders3090
Probably would, but it would cost you £10-15000 more for the privilege with higher insurance and running costs and you would just be another follower and susceptible to the power of influence and advertising.
And yes. I've had both, but a GTi rather than an R, and they are nothing but boring overpriced and expensive to maintain. The dealers only want to talk to you if you have a wad of fifties sticking out of your pocket and don't want to know you after you've handed over the cash. My S3 cost over a £1000 a year just to keep on the road with repairs and when I finally thought everything was sorted, the cylinder head decided to crack.
In hindsight, I don't remember being enthralled by the driving experiences of any of the German cars I've owned and people just thought I was rich coz I owned an Audi or BMW. People want to talk to you about your car when you have a German marque but shut down almost instantly when I mention I have a i30N.
The guy who developed this car was the same guy who developed BMW M cars. He's done a great job.
BTW. I wasn't talking about outright performance. I was talking about driving experience, so who's the fool now, Mr know-it-all?

Nice one! She's got some big plans for this car.
