We have a Peugeot GTI 1.6 turbo and I would love a comparison on them, as far as equipment level from what you showed the "N" is way in front including the mechanics, We are planing to trade it in as we've had it for 8 years now nothing has gone wrong with it, thanks again for reviewing it you answered most of my questions kind regards John

    Great review. Both informative and funny. Also very reassuring as I am about the buy one. It is 200 miles away so no test drive (local dealer can't even get a demo car). I have driven the i30N however. It really sounds like this car has recaptured the true spirt of the hot hatch (reminds me of the civic type R ep3), as opposed to cars like the Golf R and M135i, which have sanitised it.

    Weird. I have no interest in Fiesta STs or i20Ns (other than a passing interest in how damn good the Koreans are at cars these days), yet I still watched the whole video. I think that sort of means you're doing something right, and five thousandish people seem to agree. Maybe it's the jiggly moobs? Whatever it is, more nonsense please!

    I'll be honest, I'm probably biased as I drive i30N and a friend of mine is waiting for his i20N to be delivered, but most of other reviews / drives just kind of end on a note that "it's not Fiesta", and it feels like these people don't want to accept, that someone might be doing things a little differently than Ford. Or they might just prefer Ford's way and I'm biased, as I said... I haven't driven any Fiesta, and even less the ST. But in any case, I really enjoyed the video, first one I've seen on this channel, but definitelly not the last. Thank you!

      Fully agree. I am perfectly aware that Fiesta ST is a great car but for some reviewers it's like the i20n simply can't win. Either it's not similar enough to the established king Fiesta, it mimick it 'too much', or the fault is simply that its a Hyundai. I'm just happy hyundai chose to do a small b-segment ICE car for enthusiastic drivers in 2021. It is likely among the very last of its sort. For a company with fairly short experience it's an impressive effort having engineered a car that can challenge a car many seem to consider something like a modern classic. In other words this review seem to me more balanced than some others.

      They're both brilliant - they drive differently, but at the end of the day they're both absolutely cracking FWD hot hatches that can play the hooligan. I just think the i20 N has a bit more depth to its abilities

      That’s true, as lots of fwd cars can do a tripod, which in itself isn’t a sign of joyous handling.
      ….but that car (Astra GSI in the UK) was a dull lifeless old lump to drive!
      The Fiesta is light in its toes and fleet of foot.
      It darts telepathically into corners and is super reactive to inputs, after turn in.
