Thanks I'm sure you'll love this car.

Thanks for that. I can assure you the pleasure was all mine.

Thank you Riccardo

How long is the wait?.

6 months in Aus, at least that's what the dealer has told me so expecting 8

@@tarrantstephenson4215 seems about right. Thanks for the reply 👍

Which roads are these please?

@@sthomas082 it's just off Mccarrs Creek Road, another great driving road but only during the night.

Thanks, glad you enjoyed the vid and are enjoying your car

@@markwilliamson8662 You’re welcome Mark. Thank you it’s so much fun to drive

We haven't yet but will within the next few months.

Yes so would I. Let's see if we can organise it.

Thanks tcej. I will ask Hyundai if they have a sedan for us. What I DON'T know about WRXs and CVTs would fill volumes. I'll start doing some homework. I would have asked to ban the CVT in the Williams FW15C as well - it just sounds horrible without the rise and fall of revs.

That's a very relevant comment Ben. This week I'll be posting a story about an unexpected $20k+ repair job that made me question the idea of ownership of a 20 year old supercar. Stay tuned for that one.

car before 2010... buy Honda ;)

@@ALyub-dl6dofair! Just watch out for the rust!

indeed

Wow, bit of a shame you don’t get them in Malaysia.

@@markwilliamson8662 1 big reason is i30n is as expensive as Golf R, selling less than 20 unit if i'm not mistaken..

I'm sure you'll love it

I've had one 2 months now. The confidence it gives is astounding! I can confirm it's as he says, it just grips and goes.

(Stu) I agree. And thank you. Probably didn't need 5 exclamation marks though. 😕

80 Six, thanks. Hopefully Stu will allow me back !

Don’t need back he’s too spoilt with his million dollar cars . And he said the i30n was only ok

So I've heard. I hope Hyundai sort this out. Disappointing.

Fake price action you try sell it for more before you boast I’ll wait for showroom new untouched

@@samramu4680 Plenty selling second hand for more than a new one at the moment, with sales halted on them and waiting time at 18 months in Australia people are paying a premium for a 2nd hand one.

I could buy and pick up black red or blue today . Have you checked ?? Don’t know why everyone is hyper inflated

@@samramu4680 Where!!! Show me one new one available now in Australia

It's been asked before. We'll try to get one.

No point they don't manufacture them any more 😂

@@ljp1942 But they’re offered on the used market.

It’s difficult !

Yes it does!

@@inCARnationAustralia nice 👍 thank you .

@@inCARnationAustralia I asked my dealership today and he told me that it doesn’t come in Australia with the blue inside ambience light are you sure that it does ?

@@loukilook6371 We may be talking about different features. This was my observation, not what I read in the spec. sheet. I had the car for a while and drove it at night, and can confirm it had pleasant ambient blue lighting in the footwells and around the cabin. I can't remember if it had external courtesy blue lighting. Sorry if I misled you.

@@inCARnationAustralia thank you for your quick reply mate. Yeah I’m talking about the shame the blue light in the foot and on the sides . Is it possibility my dealership to do it without so the make more money ?

I found it to be quite acceptable. Firm but well controlled. I don't think most sporty drivers would find it overly harsh.

Can't answer that as we haven't driven the Fiesta ST. We need to! Sorry.

Lovely idea but I'm already committed to run with AB in the mighty RX8 turbo

I only drove it on the standard fitment Pirelli P-Zero HN 215/40/18 and they were great.

Sadly I don't think they did

​@@inCARnationAustraliafiesta st it is!

Akuna Bay region, Sydney

Not in Australia. Kona N has been offered, so that will be fun. And the Sonata N-line I've already driven and is worthy.

You'll find the Elantra is now known as i30 sedan. The i30 sedan N is a stunning piece of kit.

@@jarredstenfors Oh thanks. In that case, yes I have already driven it and yes it is. Another one on the list.

@@inCARnationAustralia I30 Sedan N is the same car. Any chance you can get your hands on one of those?

@@joethorpe4295 I'll ask them Joe. At the moment, they haven't got a i30N sedan in the press fleet. Just a i30 N LINE PRM 1.6P DCT. We'd prefer a full N sedan if possible. But we can get a KONA N.

Therefore no Elantra N for us. :I We can just import it from america.

@@moee1337 IMHO, No loss for Australia if you didn't get the Elantra N. It's hideous.

@@nova-oy4qy i love how the elantra n looks. But just in black. Same for the i20n. In all different colors they look bad

Can’t believe you guys are missing out on these N cars, particularly as Hunday is such a big presence there.

I don’t understand what’s going on at Hyundai right now. I think they were so successful hiring bmw staff for the performance part that they went a bit too far and hired someone like Chris Bangle for the styling too.

Where can you use all of the power of the i30n on public roads anyway ?

Me neither. At first I thought it was me just flubbing the changes. Didn't happen often and wasn't consistent. Who knows.

It certainly is. I hear you. Hope you noticed I didn't whinge too much about somebody being cautious in tricky conditions.

Ah that's a bugger. Sorry to hear. A colleague had a very disappointing experience with delivery of his i20N. 18 months wait, no updates unless cajoled. On the boat, off the boat, don't know what happened to it, next week, not next week, no idea when. Eventually it turned up, with no notice. And he hasn't yet had the dreaded fuel pump issue but it's early days.

I haven't checked this week but last time I looked Korea wasn't in Europe. Hyundai's petrol cars are pretty fuel efficient, even their performance models. And don't forget they're a leading manufacturer of renewable energy vehicles. We have a couple of exciting Hyundai cars this month (April 2024) so I'll have a good look at their efficiency.

I guess you haven't seen our review of the GR Yaris. It was really good. We liked it. Around Wakefield Park, marginally slower than the i30N or i20N, which surprises a lot of people. I'm guessing you haven't driven an i20N in the wet. "useless" is not exactly the word I'd use

@@inCARnationAustralia you used the Rallye in your comparisons or the base model (which nobody purchased) right? Put the Rallye GR against both the I20 and I30 and neither will stand a chance! Yes, the I20 is cheap, but that's because it's just an I20. And yes, a FWD car is useless in the wet, that's just the nature of the beast I'm afraid! Personally I think we will see plenty more FWD manual petrol cars for years to come, Ford, Peugeot, Hyundai etc will always try to sell us "warm" versions of there mundane daily cars. You will note that comparison tests carried out (outside AUS) between the I20 and GR (Rallye) show the GR to be significantly in all scenarios without exception. Not only does it perform better it's simply a far more advanced and unique car. I suspect the price difference means I20 buyers wouldn't consider a GR and vice versa.

@@relentlesspursuit6894 I think you're bit harsh about the i20N. But yes, it was the base GR Yaris that wasn't as quick - same driver - same track - same conditions. Part of it is the standard tyres on the GR, which can be easily improved. Price difference is quite large, as you point out. Appreciate your feedback.

@@relentlesspursuit6894 He is reviewing the street car. Beeing jealous because you bought the wrong car isn't their fault.

@@moee1337 I got the GR, not the I20 - so I got the right car, you know, the one that everyone wants! I20 owners can only dream if buying a GR!
