    It’s time for a FWD hot hatch showdown! Mat’s in the Hyundai i20N, and he’s lining up against the Ford Fiesta ST and VW Polo GTI!
    So how do they compare on paper? Well first up we have the i20N, which is powered by a 1.6-litre 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine to provide 204hp & 275Nm of torque. It also weighs in at 1,190kg.
    Alongside the Hyundai we have the Fiesta ST. Its smaller 1.5-litre 3-cylinder turbocharged engine puts down 200hp & 290Nm, and it’s a touch heavier than the i20N, with a weight of 1,255kg.
    Then finally we have the VW Polo GTI. It’s hiding a larger 2.0-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder engine under the bonnet, with a power output of 200hp & 320Nm. It’s also a bit heavier than its competitors, topping the scales at 1,335kg.
    So, which of these FWD hatchbacks will come out on top? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

    I’ve had a Polo GTI Plus from new since 2019, and I still genuinely love it. Tbh I love it more now than ever. For me it’s the right balance of comfort and speed, and on the motorway I can easily average 55+mpg so it doesn’t rinse my wallet. As a daily driver I think it would be the best of the three, but tbh if I was doing a track day, I’d probably lean towards the Hyundai 👀

    You gotta remember that Hyundai's N line are effectively BMW M cars. Albert Biermann the former head of research for BMW's M division went over to Hyundai for a while, literally founded their N division and then after making a couple of Hyundai's cars sporty and fun retired as head of R&D and now continues as a consultant for Hyundai and their N line. These things are QUICK, they sound fantastic and they're just little tiny M cars.

The other 2 are probably more fun at times but as a comfy all rounder which then decimates other traffic on a narrow B road overtake, you can’t beat the Polo GTi (and I’ve had M3 and 911!)

      No offense here. I am also a former Polo GTI owner (had a 2020 Model fully loaded, but someone drove into it so I had to replace it.). The Polo GTI is super slow from 100-200Km/h it's terrible. The new FL version will get a 7 Speed DSG, which hopefully fix this a bit. I can't understand how these other cars in the test are almost doing even worse. Quality wise and from the maturity of the car, the Polo is WORLDS ahead of every competitor, that's for sure.

      That is because the engine has its max power at around 5k rpm and than loses quickly.
      This is because the engine is build with economy in mind, not performance.
      Many people confuse this engine with the Polo GTI engine, which it is not. It has completely different internals, different cylinder head, runs in budack cycle.
      You probably get 20 - 30 more hp out of it. After that you would need hardware upgrades. Intercooler, cylinder head, new turbo.

    the polo's dsg helps when it brakes, putting engine brake on. automatic gear boxes do that :D

      Doesn't matter when you do a full emergency braking ... the brakes should be more than powerful enough to fully lock the wheels, more so on that wet surface. Probably the tires made a huge difference here.

    • @mgn1985
      @mgn1985 2 роки тому +3

      The best brake is that when you don t lock weels. So engine brake takes away energy and abs is not used as hard. So that makes a shorter brake distance. Just try it and you will see, even in manual if you do it.

      @@mgn1985 When you press hard the brake pedal as they do here, the ABS is the only thing that prevents the wheels from locking up. The combination of the tires + the ABS controller is the reason that Polo stoped so fast, this has nothing to do with the DSG or engine braking.

      @@mgn1985 There is a lot of physics in which the DSG is not involved ... I have both a DSG and a manual car and I know perfectly what are you referring to when DSG assists you during light braking, for example when you stop at a traffic light. But you do not seem to grasp is that at max braking the tires are the limitation, not the brakes.
