I'm a big fan of compact hot hatches and the I20N delivers a 204 PS punch in a compact body, much like a Polo GTI. The way the I20N differs is in the detail, for example it has a rev matching function and it even allows left foot braking, something that's been electronically coded out of most cars for 2 decades. If these differences mean something to you like they do me then you will get the I20N. If you like the relative swank of a VW badge and don't care about the drive then get the Polo it's a good car. Me I'd go I20N all day long and hope to put my money where my out is and buy one soon. - Авто та транспорт
I’ve done 23k miles in mine so far, once you get brave enough to push this thing it really is incredible. I’ve put Eagle F1’s on it now and the grip is superb, well worth changing. One thing I will say, it’s designed to be driven hard so it needs to be pushed to get the best out of it.
Love/hate mine...it hasn't got that raw lol feeling my old williams used to give me but then it's probably a much more capable car..
@@patrickbateman7122 I don’t think you’ll ever find that again. I had a 205 1.9 and this is the closest thing I could get to that. Good times.
@@ian7675 👍
@@ian7675 i was more confident in the williams to lift off oversteer. This car is a lot more serious. Have you played with traction settings?
Thought was a ep3 CTR replacement. Actually the love child of a 205 gti and e46M3. Love mine. PZero are awesome in the warm, rubbish in the cold. And basically worn after 6k miles.
I love mine, fun, nimble and fast enough to make you grin without it trying to kill you
Lifting the inside rear on roundabouts is awesome and never gets old
Could do with a lighter flywheel
Had mine 4months now. Love it. Red with black roof looks great. Not keen on the p-zero tyres will be looking for a better alternative.
Go for Pilot sport 4.
Just ordered mine. Same colour combo. Can't wait!
Had mine since Oct 2021 and still love it!
Only disagree with your color preference. The blue makes it stand out more which as a hot hatch which is deliberately brash and in your face, is better.
Also, I think more people are buying white/black/red so the twin color blue/black will be more sought after as time goes on…as it’s a sure fire future classic!
Colour is as ever subjective and I regreted saying that - glad you still love yours!
The Performance Blue colour appears more like a violet blue in the sunshine ❤
@@volkswizard absolutely, you’re right! I just only seem to see black and white ones on UA-cam videos and have only ever seen one other blue one on the road even 2 years on!
Had mine for 3 months and its an awesome little thing.
My previous cars in order are Audi TTS, FK8 Honda Civic Type R, BMW M140i, Toyota GR Yaris and a Leon Cupra290.
The i20N is probably my favourite as an all round bang for buck experience. Yes it's down on power from what I'm used to....but in the real world it ain't that far away, due to its weight. The handling and grip is superb, and it rides so much better on PS5'S.
Love the styling, and the tech.
Usually change my cars every 12 months or so....but I'll be keeping hold of this for much much longer....if not for good. Not seen another in the wild yet.....so its a rare thing....and it gets much more attention in its Performance Blue than any of my previous cars as well !
Love it ❤
What an exciting array of cars! How would you order them all?
Total agree with the tyres, I’ve just put Michelins on mine and much better then the Pirelli’s it came with
Great little car and good value too👍
love it Andrew ❤, we really want one of these ourselves at the moment hopefully one day!!! Seen lots of youtube reviews and everyone seems to really rate them!!! 👍👍👍
I drive in N mode with the exhaust configured to the quietest setting, I've also disabled the sound piped into the cabin this makes motorway driving much more refined.
Sound piped into car? Can’t find that in setting on mine
@@thefourthwritedjentleman3643it's always on. Only way is to unplug it
Great to see you reviewing some other marques Andrew, especially interesting to hear your views on the competition as a VAG aficionado and journalist of good pedigree.
Options on these were colour options, black roof and Bose
Great little cars, as good if not better than the fiesta ST but not the build quality of the Polo GTI
A nice review of this car, Its better to have the car in normal mode on the motorway because the silencers the boom noise
What’s a toss up between this and mk8 R line went for the Rline as this is a bit to boy racer now I’m in my 40s lol
Well done Andrew on 50k subs! A great video I certainly think that the Hyundais are light years ahead of where they were and they make some fantastic cars now including the Ns it certainly looks and sounds the part! Can see why they are so popular
Thanks so much Daniel, it's great to get to 50k though not sure why...? Hyundai really have seen a gap in the market with N cars and I suspect the I30N and I20N are just the start, we might even get more hardcore versions of these 2 cars that mate all the character and chassis excellence with some proper punch.
Congratulations on the 50k ! Big milestone!
Thanks so much for noticing sir! It's a big milestone but I don't think it opens any doors, still need to work hard for views but that OK with me 👊🏻
@@volkswizard volkswizard dub jam at caffeine and machine next!!! Or your mates diner/cafe! (Not that you haven’t got enough to do!) I don’t know how you do it! 👏👏👏
Maybe start another channel - Hyundrewwizard😉
Don't even go there 😆😆
Good review that 👍🏻
Further to my earlier comment, I am surprised just how few i20Ns you see around. The number registered in UK appears to be very low too. Given the low price, I guess that the market sector must be very small. This is a shame really. My partner who has just bought her all black one is 60, so I can’t imagine that it just appeals to young folk.
Had a Honda Fn2 for 10years ..Great car in fact brilliant... Moved upto a golf R. DSG had for 3 years....Again great car..Considered a new R but the price makes you think . After watching the rewiews on this car i have now ordered a i20n because of the price and package you get.. Awaiting delivery this month. Happy motoring!
I moved to an i20n from a Type R Fk2, and i love my i20, its slower but much more fun to drive on the street ! Its feel more alive and nimble
I've done the same thing moved from a dsg R to a N
Surprisingly you.wont be disappointed.
Thought this was an ep3 CTR replacement. More like love child of 205 gti and e46M3. Light, short wheelbase. Great value and only 3 options to add! Firm but brilliantly damped. You’ll love it. And yes I’ve had all 3 cars mentioned.
Try a Peugeot 308 GTI 270 👍
Congrats on 50k and that car looks fun
Thanks so much and yes it's fun!
Australia is only just getting the Golf R 20 year model to order in July on line to stop the main dealer Mark up. 50 cars starting at $77,500 plus on road costs. Figure in the $80k plus. The i20n was a sellout successes at about $40k here. Plus a two year wait. Wow.
You can't even place an order with Hyundai Australia at the moment dealers will push you to buy existing stock if available at a high price.
@@ljp1942 I'll sell you mine. lol. They are an amazing thing!
@@davidyoung331 Hyundai Australia dealer network.
Can u get dtc. I can’t ride manualnot able to clutch bad leg…
Nope, manufactured only as manual.
My one gripe about the I20N is the monumental over rev on change up. It sounds like a learner driver changing gear and not fully off the throttle. Always bugged me.
Drive it in N mode and it's gone. Why would you drive it any other mode?
@@keng4066 Funny, every time I’ve seen it happen it WAS in N Mode. Reasons for it happening is probably a heavy flywheel and to help with emissions.
@@Buck3366 It's definitely not from a heavy flywheel. It's purely from Euro emissions, to reduce off throttle emissions and can be tuned out. Tuners have confirmed that. Later models don't get it in N mode because they must have tweaked the tune and it's milder in the other modes.
I drove one in 2021 and it was marked in that car.
@@keng4066No, it’s definitely a heavy flywheel mate
@@keng4066I have a sep MY22 one, and even in N mode it does it, it’s a known issue with the heavy flywheel
Thanks Andrew. This is my favourite small hot hatch and never fancied the dsg only Polo. Saw one in silver recently and looked very smart.... 👍
Thank you Colin! Silver is a good shout although would like to see one in dark grey💓
My partner has just bought an all black i20N as her daily and it is very hard to criticise at its price point of £25K. Being manual, with a real handbrake (and a whole bundle of stuff as standard) makes it a bit of a bargain driver’s car. I guess that it has been built to a price but nothing wrong with that.
Congrats on 50k subscribers!
Thank you so much cypher 😀
Hi Andrew. Great car. Remember when all your options were included in the price? Happy days.
Did consider an i30N back in Nov 20 but chose the Mk8GTI over rear space and finish. Didn't know about the IT woes to come!
For school run and fun brief I got this. The rear space actually better than the i30 strangely! And 25k with 5 years warranty and no extras to option
I think you have problems with your microphone. On your recent videos there's a constant high pitch tone when you do your walk around the car. Still great content so no problems there
Thanks J, I'll check that out, I think it's GoPro wifi interfering with the radio mic. I usually switch the wifi off but this video was a rush job (30 min with car for a 15 min video!) so had to compromise but will try and avoid that in future videos - 2 more to come from this event so I will listen out for it when editing
Brilliant reaching 50k subscribers
Fantastic:) great car.
Looking forward to seeing your mk2 & mk5
Vdub :)
Thanks Jonathon 👍 Mk5 will be back soon but Mk2 is in limbo, needs paintwork but then have to store it outside for the forseeable future so don't really want to spend £3500 on paint, must work that out somehow as I do want to get it going on the channel again.
50k great achievement excellence 👍
Thanks so much Jay!
The N series are such good cars and more reliable then vag rubbish and also a lot more exciting 😂
Nice vid. Both cars in front of you seem to open the distance in the closed parts when exiting the turn -where the i20n is supposed to have optimal performance-, and in the high speed bowl, they almost...disappeared..!!
Much to celebrate 50k subs - nice car however I’d prefer the Fiesta ST I think which is a sore point in Aus as Ford has dropped Focus and Fiesta STs as we all allegedly buy only SUVs sadly - looked like fun though 🎯👏🏎
Thanks Malcolm! I need to drive a Fiesta ST, did a CarWow drag race in current model (manual and launch control) and felt pretty good.
Seems a lot closer to a ‘sporty’ car for the common man than the golf ‘r’ - which as good as it is, does seem now a very expensive almost track car. I say that having seen more golf r’s new this week than I can remember, is there a sale on at the mo!
No sale, but VW are actually delivering cars to customers that have been waiting 2 years - that means a sale can't be too far away as a lot of these will be hitting the market as they will have been ordered at 2021 prices and with a discount so potentially some profit to be had, but only if supply doesn't exceed demand...
This is great value and 5 years warranty including track use!
Nice little vid ..I like it 😊
Thanks Malc 😁
I was trying to watch the speedo numbers rise when you entered the high speed bowl , then looked ahead and thought "where did that white golf go!!!!
That was interesting as the I20N felt a little choppy as I got onto the high speed bowl as it's far from smooth and the car is stiff so I got up to speed quite slowly. Not such an issue for the Golf R 20 years on DCC which is better at high speeds. ⏩
I'd certainly have one of these over the terminally dull Polo GTI, despite the I20s challenging looks. The Fiesta ST 8.5 is far superior to this as a fun road car, in my opinion.
The ford is ugly and boring.
@@muckspreader1able Its looks are subjective, its ability to put a smile on a driver's face isn't. Your comment says more about you that it does about the car.
@@muckspreader1able Ford ST cars boring? Tell me you know nothing about cars without telling me!
@@JetLi-zt5qh If all you want is straight-line speed, you will probably approve of the electric legislation. Most enthusiastic drivers want a little more than that.
There is a bit of feedback in your videos. Sounds like someone is hoovering in the background
Thanks for the feedback :) I'm using the best mics possible now, only issue is the Hero4 wifi creates some background audio noise. I usually switch it off but that takes longer to set up and with a strict 30 mins with the car, unfortunately compromises have to be made.
There is a more powerful version. I 30n
Nice video, as always ❤ However , the build quality of the car is terrible. It's just falling apart straight from the factory. Don't buy it.
Really?
What utter rubbish you speak
Nonsense. No issues with my 2024 i20N at all....
Had a 30n for 3 years and 20n for 2 the 20n is a far better car. Blue is horrific and peels off
didnt one of the Audi designers goto Hyundai?
At least one though by all accounts not the interior one, I think the Hyundai interior material buyer has gone to Audi though 😆
@@volkswizard golf Mk7. 5 is the peak
Albert Biermann, the man behind BMW "M" Division...
Cheap car? £26k!!
I stand by that - a Mk5 Golf GTI with same power was £20k in 2006, I don't even know how much one is today (245 PS) but I guess 50% more than I20N
It's all comparative, not a point that was very well made in the upload. If you want a performance car then you have to dig deep these days.
I bought mine for £23k
Cheap for a new car and a hot hatch yep can’t get much for under 30 these days decent
