I have to say I read all the comments to this video and I thought to reply for one reason. I own the I30N Performance so I speak from experience to read the comments people have left regarding this car they seem to put a downer on this Hyundia which is not exactly true why everyone is dumping on this fantastic wee car. Yes I have the March 2018 model the one in this video was the 2019 model had a slight upgrade. The problems I experienced were I had the alarm problem got that fixed, 5th & 6th gear synchro rings sticking I got that fixed under warranty, the ECU was replaced under warranty, I did not have the head liner wiring rattle problem, or widow rattle or phone call problems, I still have the radio problem as it will on occasional conditions just turn off then reboot, it does not happen as often and I don't really bother about it. The car seats are velour material like a felt nap I never had the problem spoken about in the video and the place where I park my arse while driving still looks as good as the day I got the car from new. Front head lights still fog up got those replaced under warranty and they still fog up on cold days so don't know what's happening there though it does clear with time this only happens in the colder weather conditions. I hope the front day light running / indicator lights never go faulty as that piece of plastic costs £1000 + vat per fog light, ouch. My car is now out of warranty just had it's 5th service roughly £180 plus one years breakdown cover thrown in so not bad really. The car is solidly built I have had my car sitting for 10 weeks as I broke my leg it was in a cast when I was able to drive again the battery was flat so I charged the car battery threw it back into the car and pressed the start stop button and vroom away it went never misses a heart beat. Don't read to much into other people lambasting this wee car or believe what other write regarding the reliability of the Hyundai i30N, I'm keeping my i30n for a very long time as it is both reliable and trouble free it has 70,000 miles on the clock and it goes like a rocket, I'm telling you it is the best fun car to drive. This is to @PabloM5 I have mud flaps on my I30n in fact I have a full body kit, and OZ Alloys Induction kit, a few other treats under the hood makes my car look & sound different not by much as you wouldn't notice as it is very subtle no remap as it doesn't need it, I like the mud flaps on my car other people have told me they look ghastly take them off no I'm keeping them on as I like them. Finally. I don't usually write reviews but I own this car in question and I know it is a well screwed together car it wall last you as long as any other car on the road and maybe fair bit longer. Buy this car you definitely wont be disappointed, and as they have been discontinued by Hyundai so from 2024 you wont be able to buy any more because of the Euro 7 emissions regulations for greener hybrids family orientated SUV type vehicles so these I30N's they will become quite a rare car on the open road I think I have seen five I30N cars in total so it is good that you don't see very many on the open road, everyone looks at car and I get asked questions while filling up at a gas station so everyone want to look and chat about the car it its amazing the response I get from folks it does turn heads that's for sure. Finally the front hood weighs a ton I am amazed at the weight as usually South Korean made cars are light not the Hyundai I30N, not bad for a construction company that was founded by Chung Ju Yung in 1947. Sorry for the long essay but I had a lot to say. Peace, respect.

Phone call problem the speakers is fixed with a software update. I've had two an I'm getting the facelift version next week. I've been a main dealer master technician working on many brands over 38 years and I can recommend this car. 👌

Know you ain't speaking to me but like to say your reviews are getting better and better 👍🏻

Great little buyers guide, another great car, Hyundai have really got a great little hot hatch.

Subscribed mate ❤️

Very interesting, subscribed as asked

bought ym 2020 of this and had gearbox issue fixed and it has been perfect since then. warranty has worked perfect by hyundai, can recommend these little beasts.

Pick mine up this week yeah we going to boost it 💨

I just subscribed, only because of your accent!

Nice review! Interested in I20N review, do you have plans to review one?

What a legend, great video man. Car sounds great, the colour is dirt and the interior needed more attention. Em wishes she heard from you before buying :) keep up the good work lads👍

Fuel issues were with very first cars late 2017 (67). Alarm issue can be if you back car too close to a wall. The rear parking sensors can cause the alarm to go off as they for part of the perimeter alarm system, I think. Seat creases on drivers bolster is common and normally pretty bad. Infotainment system can get too hot especially on sunny days causing it to switch off. 5th and 8th gear issue can be due to gearbox oil very cold along with selector . A very good car to drive but wheel hop really bad especially if tyres are cold. For similar money a used Audi S3 will leave the Hyundai for dead because it needs 4 wheel drive to plant the power. However on a track the Hyundai can be more fun and so much nicer than a Golf GTI (even club sport not very good). 7 out of 10 seems fair and the I30N is cheaper to insure. Yes I owned a I30N and miss it.

Just subscribed, I have a 22 plate Kona N, great car but I do occasionally hear a rattle, appears to be around the dash/windscreen area or possibly the head up display, but it is a far better built car than my AMG A35 was, that was the worst car I’d ever owned, it rattled from everywhere and the Mercedes dealer never managed to fix it to my satisfaction, I’ve actually owned 4 Mercedes cars since 2012 and have had problems with all of them.

Ai wuud have luuved to hear about the problems, but Ai naerly understand a wurd yu saeng. Thanks for the texts, makes ait a laittle beit easer!

Subscribed to the channel. Nothing against scotland or scottish folk but i think the channel name needs to change or needs a subheading. Something more on the nose like "SCC Common faults for used cars" or something would make more sense, hopefully get you more views and grow the channel. Useful advice on this channel, just needs more exposure.

I’m thinking of getting one off the automatic’s any other things I should look out for on a 21/22 plate all advice appreciated

This helped alot... do u recommend a second hand one?... i found on auction. And i Love this car so much. Should i get it?

Good one to check is the steering wheel buttons cracking had a few at my dealership for warranty

IMO the best looking modern HH

What kind of brakes did u switch to?

So you think the dct is better than manual?

Whats the alternative really? Doesnt it get 10/10 at its price? All these issues but you have a 5 year warranty, whats there to complain about?

I have a 2021 n performance manual (facelift model) pretty sure most of these issues have been rectified from factory now. Havent had any issues with any points of my car so far and have put 16,000 kilometers on it since getting it 6 months ago.

I've had Hyundai's my whole life, and every single one had fuel pump issues, where it sounds like its hard for it to start up. But on the i30n it happens but only when the car has been sitting there for a few days it occurs.

Could you do the new 2022 model

Great car, I've had fuel door problems with mine, hard to open, hard to close. Can take awhile to do both. Other than that it's been great.

Em needs jail time for adding those rear mud guards and for also looking at you funny for revving a car that’s literally designed to rev. Imagine owning this and not ever doing launch control, that’s why the base model i30 exists

Do they have a DSG auto version ?

does the standard i30N (250 PS) have a good exhaust sound with the pop bang?

Donde puedo conseguir las pegatinas N de los asientos?

Honestly the carbon Version is so much better with the manual transmission,lesssweight, better suspession and more fun to drive 🤤

Worth saving about $15k AUD to buy a used model over a brand new facelift with the DCT?

I own the 2022 facelift i30n all these problems have been resolved. Accept for the sound system , you definitely need a amp installed.

Hey, just wondering what the reliability on the new DCT i30N & Elantra/Avante N is like compared to the old model shown? Thanks.

Hey thanks for problems report I want to order brand new one 2022 model with automatic trannsmision (dct) Any knows problems? Thanks! I subscribe

Why is it so heavy is my number 1 question? GTI, ST, Type R, RS all lighter.

Emma is 10/10

Do we know if these issues still exist for 2023 & 2024 I30N?

Hi was wanting to buy one of these whats insurance cost like?

Well, Ema is beatifull 😊

Hello where is the best place to get one of these second hand? Don't really see the point in brand new

a 7:10 because a minority of issues ,that dont happen in the majority of the cars , you can have a missus who is a 10/10 but she is going to have issues lol ,, but like your hot missus , this car is satisfies you in more ways than one , owned mine for a year and love it , now just have to find that 10 out 10 missus lol

It'd be better with DCT and without the awful blow-off valves.

Imagine the golf their 1st car was the best. Now the 130n Hyundai could be the best. Well let's say it should be a 9 not a 7. Thanks.

Is this english?

where can u get the cars in the uk ive been trying to find them but it just seems impossible

How is the Hyundai kona N

Do they all come with an anonymous random shifty bloke in the rear passenger seat?

7/10? that is a great score if it comes from a Scotsperson

Queue all the prank calls to that dude who's number you showed on screen!

So basically if you want this car be prepared to have tonnes of problems 😂 not what you want from a car like this if I was you I’d save up a little more and get a focus RS

Following Emma as well on IG

i would have censored your mates mobile number there

DO NOT BUY AN i30. Engine will die around 100k.

These things are junk. They are so cheaply made, seats fall apart. Dash rattles. Doors rattle. Windows rattle. The battery fails when parked up for longer than a week. The steering wheel marks just by looking at it. The infotainment screen is soft plastic and flexes when you press it. The paint is so thin it chips just from cold weather. The turbo actuator arm linkage will fail. The exhaust manifold will rattle. The bushings fail before 30k miles. Looks great, but an absolute load of cheap plastic rubbish. Don't touch the DCT, the clutch pack will fail and Hyundai will laugh at you when you try to make a warranty claim (ask me how I know!).

Just came again to watch and not subscribe, thank u

7/10 might as well get a S3

Made by Kia It’s What to expect Buy old is better 1jz or old Corolla and add turbo
