Expecting a delivery for my i20N this month. My first car as well. Very excited!

Jeeez! i20N as a first car is nice going. Congrats!! I don't know how old you are but are the insurance premiums 'challenging'? How have the first few months of ownership been? I've owned my i20n for approx. 6 weeks now and after some careful(ish) 'running in', I'm looking forward to fully testing the performance now. It already feels significantly faster than my previous car, so I'll have to hone my reflexes a bit to keep up. It's a fantastic little car. The trip computer fuel figures are over-optimistic and nowhere near 'real world'. A mix of local trips and some spirited driving' makes my manually calculated average approx. 29 MPG.

I've had mine for 16 months and first car i've had for a long time that I don't want to part with! Its awesome, very usable for every day, of course suspension is firmer than you normal hatch back but easily livable. The engine is great and as you say the handling is absolutely brilliant. If you drive sensibly then it can return 50mpg on a run but my average is around 39mpg over 10k miles but the smiles per mile is off the chart! Be prepared to change your front tyres at around 8k miles. This thing is sooo much fun!!! Not sure how long they'll make cars like this.

Thanks for the MPG numbers, I've always found the official MPG for this car to be lower than what I would expect. I have a 1.5L Turbo Honda Civic with 180bhp. So not quite as powerful but fairly similar and it gets 43 officially but 50MPG on my commutes, 45MPG on bad days, all this with it being an Auto and a heavier car. I know the i20N is not really made to be economical but I have a long commute and would need a bit of economy on my work days. If it can in fact get between 45-50mpg then it wouldn't affect my fuel spend at all really.

At the price, there is no other manual throw-back hot hatch with a physical hand brake. My partner has a black one for commuting. She thinks it’s great

The closest would be the GR Yaris in terms of price with a manual handbrake. I just don’t understand why any hot hatch would have an electronic hand brake. VW? 🤔

I really, really wanted to buy one a couple of years back, but here where I live (Sweden) it's nearly impossible to get one. As far as I know, all the 33 units sold in my Country are NOT up for sale, and the only one listed by a dealer - on the other side of the country - has a significant mark up of about 34200 SEK on top of the original price (314.900 SEK against the original retail price of 280.700 SEK, 2022 model year). I ended up buying a BMW 3 series for the same price, but after test driving this little nugget I couldn't stop thinking about it even after 2 years 👀😆🙈
