So it's been 3,5 years already huh? Had some good times with this car and I thought I'd talk about my opinions of the car after driving it for so long.
I am happy to see that you still drive such a amazing car my dude. Myself I bought the same one but 2020 Version 3-4 months ago . So far I am very satisfied,as a former car mechanic I can approve of the car been very good and a solid choice. Yes its interior is lacking but how cheap its made and with the features it has,its affordable to repair too. I rather have such replaceable and easy to get parts then a expensive AF dashboard made out of Wood or Leather. The i30N's flexibility in terms of Tuning is endless. You Buy the car because its a Hot Hatch,Because it has a simple yet fun Engine and because its part of a astounding community of car owners. I had 0 trouble with mine ever since I bought it (Apart from the previous 2 owners abusing the absurd amount that tore the from summer tires to drag/drift tires) The Hyundai i30N I would recommend for Car enthusiast of any kind that wants to have a good car and to take care of it.
Great review. Looking for one in the near future before engines get killed. Perfect balance of price, looks, sound and performance. Main concern are its emissions and the burocratic problems that will come in the next years. Congrats and continue enjoying the i30n, it's difficult to see 100k km on these cars.
@@JazzysTrove Its a really nice hot hatch along with the Gr Yaris and Golf R/VAG. One thing to note before buying a hothatch, is that alot of used ones have been driven by younger people, which usually have resulted in a crash, extremely hard driven or both, just a thing to look for. Best owner to buy from is a older dad/pensionier that bought it new.
@@Gripengamer Thanks mate! Good advice! 👍 I'm still looking to buy one new. I was set on a I20n but unfortunately this car got axed in my country and the only option to buy is the I30n DCT and I really wanted the manual even if the DCT is really good from what I see. Besides the waiting time for it is 1+ years to receive it... and until then the new Civic Type R will come. So I'm still waiting. Maybe, in the end I will look for a second hand one. Cheers! 😁
Great review. I was planning to make one myself this summer but I'm just going to share yours haha. As a co owner I can say that this is indeed what you get. With covid I got a lot less km's(my work commune is short & hobby's are on hold). But so far so good, very reliable car. For the ones interested on how it handles on track. You can feel that it's a relatively heavy car mid turn. I upgraded the brake pads but they seem to be performing as good as the standard ones. So I'm going to swith back to the Hyundai ones once these wear out. The ABS allows you to push the car, it will only kick in when youre locking. The car is also very well balanced. A tiny bit of oversteer especially in the wet, but it's FWD so you gas yourself out of those slides. And the front differential is amazing. Took me a while to find its limits, that's how great it is. You get some body roll with semi slicks but nothing too concerning. The standard tires are bad for track driving, after 10min you can feel them melt so you're gonna need a track set. If you get them installed do it in a shop so they can link the tire pressure sensors and you'll be able to see your tire pressures live. On track the pressure can go up 1 bar. So I suggest to check them after every run. Other then that great car. My interior is a bit rattly which annoys me a bit. But you can't expect to drive it on track attack some curbs and keep it in mint condition. All electronics work, I like the gps lay-out and instructions. For Belgian roads I keep the suspension on soft and lane assist off. But like I said, everything works even after some abuse so all good until now :).
what we realy wanted to know was after 100k how much to maintain the car , did anything break or need replacing ,how many sets of tyres and break pads did you go through , is it a good practical long term daily driver , stuff like that , all you done was give us car specs which is what we already know .
Great review man and on point! Thanks! I was really looking for a few years ownership opinion. Next year I will order the facelift model as I still need to raise some money but I can't wait to have it. Cheers!
I wouldn't be too put off by one thats a few years old. Just make sure you get it from a hyundai dealership and ensure that the 5 year warranty is still intact. I Bought a late 2019 fastback N last year and it is a great car.
@@Hextest123 Thanks! I was thinking about this as I can find the older model with a good price tag and not so many km's. And yeah I have to search it from a Hyundai dealership. In case I won't succeed to gather for the new model for sure I will go with the older one. I saw a few with 22-24k eur and maximum 70k kms on board. 😁
Thank you so much. This is my afordable "dream car", and im looking forward to buy one either this year or the next one. Not sure yet if its going to be the new 2021 version or used, but the double clutch 7 gear automatic gearbox with paddels sounds great though... But yeah, great HONEST review, i was already decided but now im 100% sure. I was concernd about the fuel, now im not. Thank you again. Cant wait for it XD.

Very good review, and also good English! I was also thinking about an early i30n, without the opf filter, but I went with a 2018 bmw 120i m sport shadow edition. The exhaust is more silent, but I recently put a M Performance exhaust on it
Correct! One of the reasons why I chose the 1 series. The 2nd reason is the automatic transmission, I always do city driving so driving a manual was a bit annoying
Great vid. I’ve got a 2019 i30N and love it! How has your clutch held up? Does it feel like it’s at the end of its life? Was the 100k km mainly highway driving or mixture?
Thanks for this review. I've bought a second hand i30N (2018 model, 23.000 km on the clock) nearly 2 months ago. Not the special blue color but the grey color. Not my first choice but it looks very good. I was wondering why you'renot talking about the lifetime of the P Zero tires, and the regular maintenance plus possible drawbacks. But I could read them in the reactions. At the moment I have an average fuel consumption of 11,3 km a liter after 4000 kilometers. That's less than in my former car, a Renault Megane RS (2011).
@@differentdriving9282 Really I am scraping to get 2 years out of em with only 24,000kms on the car, both inside n outside of tires are warn like a slick using the recommended tire pressures. Once thing I noticed to get rid of axle tramp which is really bad on these cars, just pump up the P-zeros to 48-50PSI cold, then it spins the tires easier without the axle tramp, not to mention actually wears the tires out more evenly.
Hi man . Great review ! Im in the market for an used one and i was wandering if u encountered any mechanical problems in this amound of km , and how hard have u driven it ? On all the forums i searched people told me its a very raliable car , even if its driven hard , but in the back of my mind im still scared of any problems i could encounter with an used one .
Great video, explained many usefull things.... I am about to buy the car to use it as family daily car for the Family of 3 members. I also plan to use it for long journeys and after your comment that the car is really loud I am a bit affraid that it won't be suitable for long trips. I know that it is extra loud in sports mods, but what about the normal mode? How loud is it driving it arround in normal mode around town and especial on the motorway at the speeds around 140 to 160 km per hours? Thanks in advance for the answer.
Moin, sehr informatives Video. Ich hab meinen jetzt seit ca. 1,5 jahren, zum Thema Endrohre kann ich sagen, dass es bei mir am Anfang auch so war mit 95 oder 98 Oktan (das die immer schwarz waren). Ist mit 100/102 bei mir jedenfalls komplett weg bzw. wirklich deutlich weniger. Klar ist auch nicht billig aber bewirkt definitiv was und ich bleibe dabei. Auf jeden fall schön zu hören, dass du auch nach 100.000 Km scheinbar keine Probleme mit dem Wagen hattest. :)
Great video man, I'm really thinking of buying 1 of these. But wanted to know on normal mode how stiff are the suspensions? I'll be having a new born soon and i always wanted a sport car and couldn't able to get one.
Hi mate I own one late 2019 MY20 plated N, and the suspension in softest mode is bearable still not as good as a sedan, but a lot more tolerable than in N mode. As soon as I know I'm hitting some roughish roads I put it in custom mode, where I have the suspension in Normal/Soft Mode, ESC turned off, Rev match on, Exhaust sound right up high, engine power level Medium. The weird thing that blew me out was the ECO mode using more fuel than in N mode, I think the most Fuel Economic mode is Normal Driving Mode which I use with Rev match on. HAVE YOU BOUGHT ONE YET?
In what condition is the engine or technology / mechanical parts (gearbox) when this model has been driven 100,000 kilometers, is there still a good level of durability that can be safely bought used?. All about...👍🏼 or 👎🏼🤔
Schön zu sehen, dass 100k Kilometer mit dem Hobel kein Problem sind, scheint Hyundai ja ein robustes KFZ gebaut zu haben, habe meinen jetzt 2 Jahre und bin auch sehr zufrieden
Danke für das Video! 2 Wochen bis ich meinen habe :) , seit der Ausbildung vor 2 Jahren will ich ihn jetzt haben und in 2 Wochen ist es endlich soweit, ich hab nie was richtig negatives über das Auto gehört und hoffe er wird mich so glücklich machen wie dich. :D
How much are the servicing costs? Have you had to change timing belt/chain yet? Tires? Just trying to gauge an overall reliability/cost. Great video thanks!
Service costs are 200€-300€ per visit depending on what they change. The timing belt should have been changed at this point as I belive they are changed every 60K to 90K kilometers in generall. Tires on there are the 2nd set of summertires, Wintertires are still holding on. Apart from that no sudden visits to the car doctor.
Very good english. Do you know what exactly would be the city(Frankfurt) consumption in heavy traffic? Does it go over 13? Also, any problems with carbon deposits on valves after 100k km(direct injection known issue). Thanks
Best review so far I can watch on the net! I am planning to get a 2020 model for myself. Is there any mufunction or issue within your 3.5 years ownership?
Thanks very much for the review. I'm actually hoping to buy the DCT version soon. Regarding the hard plastics in the interior, have you found that they get scratched easily?
Just be careful with the plastic face of the Climate control unit, as it scratches extremely easy, as I got mine back from a service with it scratched. But I guess a Lens restore kit would polish it back to new. When you take your in for its services it pays to tell them not to wash the car or clean/vacuum the interior so mishaps do not happen, do it yourself to avoid any problems.
Thank you for this video, Im thinking of purchasing the facelift version when bitcoin blows up again. Also your english is Nice, thanks again and take care!
@@boyanboychev749 Yes, one time Hyundai insisted that all i30N need to have their Ecu's replaced because of some issues and soon after making an appointment my Ecu suddenly started acting up, limmiting power and such. After the replacement there was never any more problems with the car.
@@differentdriving9282 and did you have some problems with (5th-6th speed gear assembly & synchronizer) or some Headlining rattles? I've heard a lot about this issues😯
@@MiataND3 do you mean when shifting from 5th to 6th? I forgot about that but putting it into 6th can be annoying sometimes because it locks the gear somehow so you have to re-shift so it lets the stick in.
Ive got the 2019 MY20 model, and after doing 24,000kms my brake pads still have 90% life left in them, just depends how hard you are on the brakes I prefer to use the engine for braking more, hence the reason my brake pads n rotors are still like new. If you brake hard then of course there gonna wear out like nothing. Go do a couple of track days n drive like a mad man, there gone in no time.
Cheers from Denmark, and thank you for the video. A nice walkthrough of the car and its many features. I would love to watch a video where you go over the driving experience more in depth. I like how you noticed the auto rev when engaging the clutch. I'm thinking that if you let go of the throttle first, and the the clutch just after it will not blip the throttle? Maybe? :D Furthermore could you elaborate on the exhaust, and what it sounds like in the different modes? My understanding is as follows: Normal mode = yeah well.. normal.. haha :D "muffled" sound, but still a bit loud as you also mentioned Sport mode = more sound bot no/only few bangs Sport+ mode = more sound and all the bangs and pops Is this correct? I'm looking to get an i30N but there are none for sale here in Denmark.. they are pretty rare sadly. And due to the current situation used cars are not cheep. I found one which was for sale only briefly. it was a 2018 with 70.000 km, but in excellent condition. it was priced at just over 40.000 euros! Hope to hear from you, and once again, thank you for the video.
You described the sound perfectly. 40K for a used 2018 model is stupid pricing. At this point I would just buy one over the border in Germany. These go for 20K-25K when you look at 2017 / 2018 models. And then just register them for Denmark.
Hi :) looking to buy the 2022, little faster i think. But how is the sound inside when crusing and acceleration. Is it quite or can you hear the exaust sound ? Everytime people make sound test, they make pops and bangs in tunnel, but i wanna know how it is without bangs. Is the car still fun to drive and still sound good for you ?
Well like many other cars in its category the i30N has a sound generator wich plays artificial enginesound into the cabin. So yeah you can hear plenty especially in sport and N mode.
I personally would stick with stick (badum tss), because in the automatic the pops in between the shifts get lost. And I drive about the same amount in normal, sport and custom mode so kind of a mix.
Danke für das Video! Auch wenn es leider nur auf Englisch ist 🙈 aber das hört sich ja soweit alles positiv an! Ich bin auch am überlegen mir einen zu kaufen aus 2018 so 30 000 gelaufen... Kp kannst du mir sagen wie die kosten für bremsen Öl Wartung so ist bei 30k bis 40k gelaufen... Und wie viel bezahlst du steuern und Versicherung? Im Jahr!? Auf welche Prozente? Ich würde vollkasko machen wollen 1 jahr... Und kleinste Klasse an Versicherung über Eltern versichern... Du scheinst ja auch schon älter zu sein ^^ Liebe Grüße und danke (=
i30N müssen alle 10K Kilometer oder 1 mal im Jahr in die Werkstatt für Ölwechsel, alle 30K dann die große Inspektion. Kosten liegen dafür zwischen 150 - 400€ je nachdem was alles anfällt. Steuern zahle Ich ca. 120€ im Jahr und Versicherung mit Vollkasko liege Ich bei ca. 120 im Monat (Ich zahle Monatlich statt Jährlich deswegen ist es noch ein bisschen teurer).
@@differentdriving9282 Schaden Freiheitsklasse ist bei mit z.b SF 14 und die macht je letztlich aus, was du bezahlst. Bedeutet wieviel unfallfreie Jahre du schon seit dem Erwerb des Führerscheins fährst.
Good morning, congratulations for the video, it helps a lot to decide whether to buy the car or not. I have a question, in the image of the boot I can't see the stabilizer bar between turrets, ¿do you disassembled it? Or the car does not have it. Regards
Ja, wär toll wennde auch erwähnen könntest ob du irgendwelche probleme bei den 100k hattest z.b unplanmäßige Werkstatt aufenthalte wegen ner zündspule oder so mich interessierts ob er sehr zu verlässig war da ich auch am überlegen bin mir einen als alltags auto zu hollen Grüße Rui
@@ruimanuel9361 kanns dir hier auch eben schreiben. Kosten sind je nach dem was gemacht werden muss unterschiedlich. Hyundai will dich alle 10000km oder 1 mal im Jahr zum Motorölwechsel in der Werkstatt haben wobei dann alle 30000km die richtige Inspektion anfällt. Kosten liegen ca. zwischen 150 - 300€. Und wegen unplanmäßigen Werkstattbesuchen gab es ein mal einen angeordneten Motorsteuergerätwechsel von Hyundai und einmal einen kompletten ausfall des Motors weil die Tankstelle bei der Ich 98er getankt habe irgendwie fällschlich war und das meinem Motor nicht gut gekommen ist. Aber so das Ich spontan in die Werkstatt musste und der Wagen wirklich selbst drann "Schuld" war gab es eigentlich nicht.
Traumauto! und du kommst sogar aus meiner Nähe :D, ich würde echt mal sehr gerne jemanden kennenlernen der einen i30N hat. Überlege mir schon seit längerer Zeit einen zu kaufen.
Well the most kilometers are done to work and back. That route is something like 10% City, 50% B-Roads and 40% Autobahn. And on the Autobahn im going mostly about 160/180 kph.
I have the i30N perf Hatch with OPF, I do 80%Autobahn and 20%B-Road for work, usually around 9L/100km while average on Autobahn +-140kph with pulld up to 200. I you drive chill on the Autobahn and B-roads, i can get it down to 8.0L without effort. If you push it hard, like mountain roads etc, it can go up to 12L for me. Hope it helps✌
"The breaking light in a triangular shape. That's the easiest giveaway to see if it's a real i30N or maybe just a N-Line i30." Errr... Isn't that the fog light?
@@differentdriving9282 "turbocharged four-cylinder engine badged T-GDi" is the type of your engine. Watch the video in the link ua-cam.com/video/FW0wCl-O7oY/v-deo.html
@@opener2869 well I never had any problems that were caused by anything like that. The oil in my engine is changed every 10K kilometers wich is about every 4 months in my case so I think my engine is fine in that regard
Just curious,how much do u pay for the insurance for this car in germany? I would like to buy it,but in italy insurance and other taxes cost a lot ,almost 2.5 k every year
@@differentdriving9282 wow that's not expensive at all, in italy we have a tax called "superbollo" based on the type of car and on its horsepower, for the i30n it would be around 1.2k € every year. Insurance would be another 1/2 k based on the driver experience and his age. So many stupid things we have.
I'm looking to buy used one, only concern is reliability after let's say 50tkm, I would like to know if there are some major issues there, some expensive repairs?
@@differentdriving9282 that’s pretty good aye? I ordered the i30n Fastback 2021 (which is only a limited edition in Australia) due to arrive in November..

Yes, apart from one time where Hyundai insisted that all i30N need to have their Ecu's replaced because of some issues and soon after making an appointment my Ecu suddenly started acting up, limmiting power and such. After the replacement there was never any more problems with the car.
I really wanted an i30n and test drove one several times but the harsh suspenion and road noise from the tires was to much for me. Not really comfortable as a daily driver (comming from a BMW e90 with M-sport suspenion)
So the M-Sport suspension is softer than the i30N suspension in Normal mode? And the Tires are usually your standard performance tyres, unless you drove some with semislicks on or something. Dont really get how that would be all that unconfortable.
@@differentdriving9282 yes the M-sport suspension is way more comfortabel. I test drove an i30n with brand new tires (continental sports I think) but I was really dissapointed. I really love the i30n cars and I hope the facelift is a little bit softer. Another option would be KW variant 3 suspension and set it to soft.
Fastback 2020 owner here, it was great to see that the car still standing well after almost 4 years ! Keep it up, looking forward for new videos !

As soon as I know I'm hitting some roughish roads I put it in custom mode, where I have the suspension in Normal/Soft Mode, ESC turned off, Rev match on, Exhaust sound right up high, engine power level Medium. The weird thing that blew me out was the ECO mode using more fuel than in N mode, I think the most Fuel Economic mode is Normal Driving Mode which I use with Rev match on. HAVE YOU BOUGHT ONE YET?
In what condition is the engine or technology / mechanical parts (gearbox) when this model has been driven 100,000 kilometers, is there still a good level of durability that can be safely bought used?. All about...👍🏼 or 👎🏼🤔
I would say so, yes. The car never had any problems in those areas and I think it will hold up for quite a bit longer.
Schön zu sehen, dass 100k Kilometer mit dem Hobel kein Problem sind, scheint Hyundai ja ein robustes KFZ gebaut zu haben, habe meinen jetzt 2 Jahre und bin auch sehr zufrieden
Großartiges Video, kann dir bei allem nur zustimmen. Hab meinen jetzt genau ein Jahr und echt geile Karre🔥🔥🔥
Danke für das Video! 2 Wochen bis ich meinen habe :) , seit der Ausbildung vor 2 Jahren will ich ihn jetzt haben und in 2 Wochen ist es endlich soweit, ich hab nie was richtig negatives über das Auto gehört und hoffe er wird mich so glücklich machen wie dich. :D
Viel Spaß
very nice review, your car is awesome! Your english is great, no worries mate :)
Thanks
Hi! I am going to buy a second-hand i30N. Did you have any bigger repairs or malfunctions? Thanks for the vid!
No, none at all.
How much are the servicing costs? Have you had to change timing belt/chain yet? Tires? Just trying to gauge an overall reliability/cost. Great video thanks!
Service costs are 200€-300€ per visit depending on what they change. The timing belt should have been changed at this point as I belive they are changed every 60K to 90K kilometers in generall. Tires on there are the 2nd set of summertires, Wintertires are still holding on. Apart from that no sudden visits to the car doctor.
@@differentdriving9282 this engine has a Tunning chain right? Not timing belt.
@@dani9-363 that I dont know
Very good english. Do you know what exactly would be the city(Frankfurt) consumption in heavy traffic? Does it go over 13? Also, any problems with carbon deposits on valves after 100k km(direct injection known issue). Thanks
Best review so far I can watch on the net! I am planning to get a 2020 model for myself. Is there any mufunction or issue within your 3.5 years ownership?
None at all
Thanks very much for the review. I'm actually hoping to buy the DCT version soon. Regarding the hard plastics in the interior, have you found that they get scratched easily?
No, not really.
Just be careful with the plastic face of the Climate control unit, as it scratches extremely easy, as I got mine back from a service with it scratched. But I guess a Lens restore kit would polish it back to new. When you take your in for its services it pays to tell them not to wash the car or clean/vacuum the interior so mishaps do not happen, do it yourself to avoid any problems.
Thank you for this video, Im thinking of purchasing the facelift version when bitcoin blows up again. Also your english is Nice, thanks again and take care!
Btw, you did not mention anything about any issues/repairs that you experienced on the car.
Yeah I forgot to mention a couple of things actually, but oh well 😅
@@differentdriving9282 Did you had any issues with the car at all? Thanks.
@@boyanboychev749 Yes, one time Hyundai insisted that all i30N need to have their Ecu's replaced because of some issues and soon after making an appointment my Ecu suddenly started acting up, limmiting power and such. After the replacement there was never any more problems with the car.
@@differentdriving9282 and did you have some problems with (5th-6th speed gear assembly & synchronizer) or some Headlining rattles? I've heard a lot about this issues😯
@@MiataND3 do you mean when shifting from 5th to 6th? I forgot about that but putting it into 6th can be annoying sometimes because it locks the gear somehow so you have to re-shift so it lets the stick in.
Great detailed review.. Did you have to change the N performance brake pads? How much do they cost per set and how long did they last? Thanks
Yeah they were done after 3 years. I had to get all new discs and pads wich cost me a total of about 1.5K€
@@differentdriving9282 Thanks. 1.5K euro for all 4 discs and pads total?
@@rajTrondhjem10 yes
Ive got the 2019 MY20 model, and after doing 24,000kms my brake pads still have 90% life left in them, just depends how hard you are on the brakes I prefer to use the engine for braking more, hence the reason my brake pads n rotors are still like new. If you brake hard then of course there gonna wear out like nothing. Go do a couple of track days n drive like a mad man, there gone in no time.
Love it very much
Is worth to bought it then?
Cheers from Denmark, and thank you for the video. A nice walkthrough of the car and its many features. I would love to watch a video where you go over the driving experience more in depth. I like how you noticed the auto rev when engaging the clutch. I'm thinking that if you let go of the throttle first, and the the clutch just after it will not blip the throttle? Maybe? :D
Furthermore could you elaborate on the exhaust, and what it sounds like in the different modes?
My understanding is as follows:
Normal mode = yeah well.. normal.. haha :D "muffled" sound, but still a bit loud as you also mentioned
Sport mode = more sound bot no/only few bangs
Sport+ mode = more sound and all the bangs and pops
Is this correct?
I'm looking to get an i30N but there are none for sale here in Denmark.. they are pretty rare sadly. And due to the current situation used cars are not cheep. I found one which was for sale only briefly. it was a 2018 with 70.000 km, but in excellent condition. it was priced at just over 40.000 euros!
Hope to hear from you, and once again, thank you for the video.
You described the sound perfectly.
40K for a used 2018 model is stupid pricing. At this point I would just buy one over the border in Germany. These go for 20K-25K when you look at 2017 / 2018 models. And then just register them for Denmark.
Really good video!
Do you have the problem with 5th and 6th gear? Sync rings goes bad and the gears get Hard to get in.
6th sometimes doesnt want to go in.
Hi :) looking to buy the 2022, little faster i think.
But how is the sound inside when crusing and acceleration. Is it quite or can you hear the exaust sound ? Everytime people make sound test, they make pops and bangs in tunnel, but i wanna know how it is without bangs.
Is the car still fun to drive and still sound good for you ?
Well like many other cars in its category the i30N has a sound generator wich plays artificial enginesound into the cabin. So yeah you can hear plenty especially in sport and N mode.
Sorry for my English. Continues to speak in a very good English :) Gotta love Germans.
I just think that my pronounciation isnt very good because I never really speak the language.
I'm thinking to buy the new 2021 model but would you stay on manual gears or automatic ? And which driving mode do you use the most?
I personally would stick with stick (badum tss), because in the automatic the pops in between the shifts get lost. And I drive about the same amount in normal, sport and custom mode so kind of a mix.
Thank you
Thank you, that was one of the best reviews out there. What would be the price if you will sell it now ?
I'd say about 21k - 22k
Hi, what is the recommended engine break-in period for i30N?
About 1000 kilmeters or 620 miles
How do you like the 4S over the stock Pirellis with this car?
The 4s seem to grip a bit better than the Pirellis
Was sagst du zum Verschleiß? Gab es größere Wartungen/ Defekte? Auffälligkeiten oder Qualitätsmängel ?
Lg :) super Video
Größere Wartungen oder Defekte an denen die Qualität oder Verarbeitung des i30N Schuld waren gab es keine.
Danke für das Video! Auch wenn es leider nur auf Englisch ist 🙈 aber das hört sich ja soweit alles positiv an! Ich bin auch am überlegen mir einen zu kaufen aus 2018 so 30 000 gelaufen... Kp kannst du mir sagen wie die kosten für bremsen Öl Wartung so ist bei 30k bis 40k gelaufen... Und wie viel bezahlst du steuern und Versicherung? Im Jahr!? Auf welche Prozente? Ich würde vollkasko machen wollen 1 jahr... Und kleinste Klasse an Versicherung über Eltern versichern... Du scheinst ja auch schon älter zu sein ^^ Liebe Grüße und danke (=
i30N müssen alle 10K Kilometer oder 1 mal im Jahr in die Werkstatt für Ölwechsel, alle 30K dann die große Inspektion. Kosten liegen dafür zwischen 150 - 400€ je nachdem was alles anfällt. Steuern zahle Ich ca. 120€ im Jahr und Versicherung mit Vollkasko liege Ich bei ca. 120 im Monat (Ich zahle Monatlich statt Jährlich deswegen ist es noch ein bisschen teurer).
@@differentdriving9282 120 im Monat uff, was für eine SF hast du denn, ich zahle für den Hobel 58€ Voll im Monat
@@hudiniimagician18 was ist SF?
@@differentdriving9282 Schaden Freiheitsklasse ist bei mit z.b SF 14 und die macht je letztlich aus, was du bezahlst. Bedeutet wieviel unfallfreie Jahre du schon seit dem Erwerb des Führerscheins fährst.

Good morning, congratulations for the video, it helps a lot to decide whether to buy the car or not. I have a question, in the image of the boot I can't see the stabilizer bar between turrets, ¿do you disassembled it? Or the car does not have it.
Regards
I bought it without it.
Hallo again
And is it posible to install the stabilizer later?
@@gcolmenarescolmenares5046 As far as I know yes.
thank you very much
Any words about service and maintenance? Just regualr oil and filter changes or did you have some unexpected problems?
No unexpected problems at all.
Nice to hear that 👍
Wär cool wennde im video ziegen känntest was die ganzen intervalle in der werkstatt gekostet haben und evtl was da nicht planmäßig gemacht wurde
Du meinst die Inspektionskosten?
Ja, wär toll wennde auch erwähnen könntest ob du irgendwelche probleme bei den 100k hattest z.b unplanmäßige Werkstatt aufenthalte wegen ner zündspule oder so mich interessierts ob er sehr zu verlässig war da ich auch am überlegen bin mir einen als alltags auto zu hollen Grüße Rui
@@ruimanuel9361 kanns dir hier auch eben schreiben. Kosten sind je nach dem was gemacht werden muss unterschiedlich. Hyundai will dich alle 10000km oder 1 mal im Jahr zum Motorölwechsel in der Werkstatt haben wobei dann alle 30000km die richtige Inspektion anfällt. Kosten liegen ca. zwischen 150 - 300€. Und wegen unplanmäßigen Werkstattbesuchen gab es ein mal einen angeordneten Motorsteuergerätwechsel von Hyundai und einmal einen kompletten ausfall des Motors weil die Tankstelle bei der Ich 98er getankt habe irgendwie fällschlich war und das meinem Motor nicht gut gekommen ist. Aber so das Ich spontan in die Werkstatt musste und der Wagen wirklich selbst drann "Schuld" war gab es eigentlich nicht.
Oke cool danke sehr hilfreich
Traumauto! und du kommst sogar aus meiner Nähe :D, ich würde echt mal sehr gerne jemanden kennenlernen der einen i30N hat. Überlege mir schon seit längerer Zeit einen zu kaufen.
Yo, thanks for this video buddy :)
Where's the rear Strutt bar
how is the fuel consumption after that time? Can you explain in more details. 100%city, 50/50 and autobahn only?
Well the most kilometers are done to work and back. That route is something like 10% City, 50% B-Roads and 40% Autobahn. And on the Autobahn im going mostly about 160/180 kph.
I have the i30N perf Hatch with OPF, I do 80%Autobahn and 20%B-Road for work, usually around 9L/100km while average on Autobahn +-140kph with pulld up to 200.
I you drive chill on the Autobahn and B-roads, i can get it down to 8.0L without effort. If you push it hard, like mountain roads etc, it can go up to 12L for me. Hope it helps✌
"The breaking light in a triangular shape. That's the easiest giveaway to see if it's a real i30N or maybe just a N-Line i30."
Errr... Isn't that the fog light?
Nope thats the breaking light. The fog light is located somewhere inside the rear taillights. Ive never seen it though.
Thinking of buying one soon. I do 180 miles (190km) a week to work and back all motorway at 70mph. Whats the fuel prices like and is it decent enough?
Fuel consumption is about 7 to 10 liters per 100 kilometers depending on how you drive it.
@@differentdriving9282 thanks for rhe reply. So if i do 300km 5 days a week, is that pretty much full tank per week
@@Daaaz9 yeah, a bit more even if you dont go too hard on the gas
What about carbon deposits on the intake valves?
Whats that?

@@opener2869 well I never had any problems that were caused by anything like that. The oil in my engine is changed every 10K kilometers wich is about every 4 months in my case so I think my engine is fine in that regard

Just curious,how much do u pay for the insurance for this car in germany? I would like to buy it,but in italy insurance and other taxes cost a lot ,almost 2.5 k every year
I pay about 120€ a month for insurance and 120€ taxes every year.
@@differentdriving9282 wow that's not expensive at all, in italy we have a tax called "superbollo" based on the type of car and on its horsepower, for the i30n it would be around 1.2k € every year. Insurance would be another 1/2 k based on the driver experience and his age. So many stupid things we have.
@@mc.oruam8818 our insurances are also based on age and years of experience behind the wheel, but I guess just cheaper...
did you lease this car ?
I’m suprised it’s still stock 😂

I'm looking to buy used one, only concern is reliability after let's say 50tkm, I would like to know if there are some major issues there, some expensive repairs?
No I didnt have any problems with it, at least no major ones. Just nitpicky stuff at most.
@@differentdriving9282 thank you for your answer👍🏻
No rear stability bar?
Dont really need it personally, so never installed it.

What mileage do you get?
About 10 Liters per 100 kilometers. In total the fuel lasts about 500 kilometers (about 310 miles).

Another question I forgot to ask is how do you find the build quality?
@@kenjones2523 not perfect, but I think they focused on the parts that matter most. Like I mentioned with the hardplastic stuff...
Thank you again
Korean reliability
I really wanted an i30n and test drove one several times but the harsh suspenion and road noise from the tires was to much for me. Not really comfortable as a daily driver (comming from a BMW e90 with M-sport suspenion)
So the M-Sport suspension is softer than the i30N suspension in Normal mode? And the Tires are usually your standard performance tyres, unless you drove some with semislicks on or something. Dont really get how that would be all that unconfortable.
@@differentdriving9282 yes the M-sport suspension is way more comfortabel. I test drove an i30n with brand new tires (continental sports I think) but I was really dissapointed. I really love the i30n cars and I hope the facelift is a little bit softer. Another option would be KW variant 3 suspension and set it to soft.
@@tubejorrit as far as I know they did tone down the stiffnes in the facelift.
