Wouldve been a surreal experience.Misha thrashing on his new ride around the Nurburgring

Would be great for Apex... 💋

Makes me wish i got a Veloster N rather than my 2018 STI. Such a weapon, still can't believe they are Hyundai's.

@@matthewwain9958 looks like your sti just shot up in value lol so bummed what subaru is doing, i feel heartbroken. been a typical subie poser fanboy since 04 but really have been sad by the direction theyve gone the past couple years. hyundai is the one that is filling that void. hyundai is absolutely killing it

@@Mr.Thermistor7228 I know crazy news! With all the success in motorsport (rally + nitrorx) recently it seems like such an odd move. I am willing to give the plain 2022 WRX a go, but they are really missing the flare of the STI. Will see what happens with values. Hyundai are doing great. One thing to be aware of is depreciation will be much worse with a Hyundai compared to Subaru if that matters to anyone. Not sure I can stomach the Elantra looks N looks,. But maybe a Kona N, just it doesn't have manual. Veloster N, my daughter is shooting up in height so back seats small space mean that is not workable really. If only we had the i30 N here.

@@matthewwain9958 it really is man, idk what is going on with them and ive been questioning their direction for awhile now over 5 years for sure. they really could be something incredible, i look at other companies performance cars and how much more power and development they've made, like there are cars out now that come with at least 400hp from the factory and its not even a big deal, alot even 450-500hp and 20 years ago those same cars had lke 150hp lol but what has subaru done to the sti in 20 years?.... FCKING 10 HP!!!! like wtf subaru? they absolutely should have an sti out with minimum 375hp even 400-430hp range. they have had over 20 years and insane amounts of racing experience to be able to develop it but instead they just fucked off their fanbase completely, its such a disappointment. sorry for the rant lmao tough subject for me ive been a fan for so damn long. dude i absolutely would buy the i30n if we had it here too! its so fucking clean looking i 100% would get it out of all the n models. i also am not a big fan of the elantra either, the kona is cool but not something id buy, i do like the veloster but i just like the i30n so much more lol and dude i would so sit on that 2018 sti!! you legit have a freaking gold mine hahah

Yeah same story here, definitely the best car to have if you are car "Nthusiast"👍🏻👍🏻 Love it

That's what a good car does to you! Doesn't mater what car, as long as it's THE car for you! :)

What is the average consumption u get daily driving it?

@@Oscaar6 i get 8.5l to 9l per 100km, normal driving.

@@muamersalihbasic9010 I have a average of 10,35 Liter/100 km over ~45.000 km. But I drive it almost daily in the speed range of 180-240 km/h for about 30km (of 60 total daily commute) km/h. When I take it consciously slow I also end up between 8.5 and 9.5. But in the mix of "reasonable" driving and fun driving leads me to an average of 10,35...

Got 7 on mine as an offer last year, might not use it but that shows a whole lotta faith

That is actually awesome!

Sorry but how do they know if the car was used in track?

@@TarekGVE1 no idea. Maybe a register as a guess

​@@TarekGVE1 more so if something goes wrong on the track, for example a guy had aftermarket wheels that blew apart on track and ripped his whole fender apart, Hyundai told him that would have been covered under warranty if he had the stock wheels on.

My uncle has just picked one up here on the Gold coast and it is a fantastic car!

Got the 2020 and a little over the manual, maybe I should have waited... But I love it anyway😁

I've waited for the DCT version over 2 years now. Now it's been released I'm pretty angry Hyundai won't sell it in the Netherlands. It's funny how rare they are in the Netherlands and when you look up autoscout germany there are over 18 pages of 2nd hand i30n's. They are a bargain in other countries where they dont have BPM.

@@tubejorrit I didn't even know they won't sell the DCT here, but would be close to 50k probably as well... I have been looking for one with light damage, so you can import it cheaper than usual, but only ones I have been able to find are with too much damage in my opinion. It's indeed unfortunate that they are so rare and expensive here. Have seen lots of them at the Ring last time I was there

Unfortunately, the Netherlands has this extreme eco tax on cars. Its a shame.

Heb 'em toch maar gekocht. Je leeft maar 1x en de i30n is m'n droomauto, uiteraard wel handbak!

@@stevenn8113 Gaaf, en gelijk heb je! Ik zou willen dat ik zelf die instelling ook had, maar ik kan het mezelf niet wijs maken dat ik een auto van zo'n bedrag moet kopen. Over een paar jaar misschien, als ze ietsje goedkoper zijn

IIRC the guys in Veloster Cup in Korea just run a bigger intercooler and it's fine then.

Also I will say with more miles on my Veloster the temps I see on track are a bit lower than they were now, used to easily see over 130c but now not so much.

Yeah I noticed that as well. Depending on the gauge scale it appears to be ~140c or so. As long as it stops there and doesn’t creep, should be fine. Either way, 10 year warranty covers tracking. Keep it stock, keep the warranty, enjoy it. Modern engines can handle a little more heat, the oil is perfectly fine at that temp.

@@tylerhackman6832 it just bugs my inner engineer. I grew up with cars that were pretty much done in when the oil got that hot :D And how much oil capacity does the i30N engine have? Is it even 4 litres?

@@tocsa120ls It´s 4.8L, or at least that is how much got used for the last oil change on mine :`D (2020 Fastback, but i guess it is the same for all models)

almost 80000km on mine and no issues either still drives great, only upgraded the brakes.

I know why you want to switch to something awd but listen to me, I did the same "mistake". There are certain good AWD systems, like the BMW M, Yaris GR an the Porsche ones. But most of the time, especially in smaller cars, AWD takes out a lot of fun, adds weight and worsens the fuel economy. I switched back to FWD very soon

@@gabrielvanya8245 It certainly ist bad in fact its almost the perfect car out of the box, dont get me wrong. But knowing what magic the N cars have, I can only imagine what the engineers may come up with. Maibe some nextlevel hybrid... I remember something about Hyundai working with Rimac.... I'd also be tempted to buy the N drift van if they ever decide to produce it. 😂.

If I was BMW id be worried, the rate at which Hyundai have improved in the last ten years is incredible.

@@cathalfolan8441 Especialy since the former BWM M engineer is now the Hyundai N engineer :D And with the Hyunda RM20 concept, we might get a mid-engine sports car in the near future.

@@xXYannuschXx Wow I didn't know that, makes sense I suppose.

Haha, and the owner had probably a pretty good milage average before Misha went on track :)

How to blow through a quarter of a tank in just 8 minutes

Reason I sold my i30n performance fastback was pure about his drinking problems.... 10.5l and average 500km/tank without playing too much

When did you order yours? I ordered mine a month ago and haven't had any update up to now

@@WelshCrossy i ordered it a week ago, actually I got lucky because here in Italy we only have the performance version available and it comes already full optional, the only thing you can choose is the exterior color and luckily they had one coming to Italy in the color I liked (shadow grey) so I reserved it immediately

Same platform just looks a little different, it was the case in earlier versions that the Veloster was more powerful but as of 2021 they’re the same

As far as I know the Elantra doesn't come to eu

Uhm no? Honda was on another level, dominating F1, NSX was probably the best sportscar out there at a reasonable price which was beating Ferraris, Lambos and kept up with even Porsches. And then they brought the S2000 which was poetry on wheels and totally revolutionary. This is just a really really exceptionally good hot hatch sorry.

Good comment

my business partner was between the GR Yaris and this one and we got to test them both back to back. I love how small and light the Yaris feels (it has more torque than the i30n and is also WAY lighter) but overall the i30n did win our hearts. my partner ended getting the new i30n and he is very happy with it. but in the end, you can't go wrong with any of those choices!

Better than A35 amg sedan? Im wondering bewteen I30N fastback and this A35

@@MrMattCalifornia you can buy two i30ns for the price of the AMG, so yes definitely, one dedicated track and one daily lol

@@digisuboob hahah OK I see :D good point but I think I will not drive my own car on track so I thought A35 will be better for daily but I love I30N so don't know what to choice :D but good sugesstion :)

@@MrMattCalifornia if your not doing track days and you have the money the merc would be a better option.

Dealers are always a problem no matter what brand you buy into

i got the same but it can very very easy to get light back end car you can sure play with even tho not huge amount power but 1.1 ton so great fun in the corners

Arriba Canarias!!! Por suerte tengo desde hace un mes uno. Estoy enamorado de el.
