Nice to see what my car is going to look like. I pre-ordered the Dark Knight colour in manual premium w/ sunroof. Hope you're having a blast in your N.

[@DetForte]

Oh awesome, best colour! It will be worth the wait. You'll love it!

[@Damo1998]

I get mine today at 2pm! I went with Dark knight Premium w/ sunroof dct. Very excited!

[@DetForte]

I picked up my Engine Red DCT Premium about 1 month ago.... absolutely love it, congrats. Hope you enjoy yours as much as I do. 👍

[@reecepagano4063]

Thanks for the joy ride.. got mine on order, performance blue premium with sunroof DCT.. Due for march arrival

Not normally a fan of grey, but I have to say on that car, and in that lighting, that looks awesome 👌

Good to see a Manual facelift video. Would like to to see some more exhaust clips!

I will try and film some more clips!

Was hoping you would rip it around the hiway so i would see the full acceleration haha but good to see you are more responsible driver than me 😅

[@ZodiacTridentUprisingEditor]

what an amazing Car

[@dboy5973]

Just put my deposit down for the shadow grey N today. It looks so fun to drive from this clip; so stoked to get mine. It’s just annoying that there’s a four-six month wait time.

[@DetForte]

Awesome mate, you'll love it! Yeah the wait sucks. I did get lucky though and got mine straight away! I do have another POV drive on my channel if you want to see more :)

[@sheevpalpatine1477]

Sounds better than WRX

[@qmass]

how are you living with the clutch ? I tested one of these recently and the clutch was the only thing I didn't like coming from a series of older manual cars. Didn't have a lot of time with it so maybe you get used to it but it felt very vague and delayed. There was no real bite point feel and you could basically just dump it and it would let itself out for an "ok" change but I really enjoy the nerdy mastery of manual cars and I think I would miss the joy of a perfect shift.

[@DetForte]

Yeah the clutch is a bit weird at first. It feels like it sticks out further then normal. When you release it you can stall it easy if you aren't careful. But after 3 weeks of owning it I'm completely used to it and don't notice now. So it's just one of those things you need to get used to!

[@fabriceverhamme9556]

Nice car

[@ndhkroatien999]

awesome car enjoy. I went for the i20n instead

[@DetForte]

What made you want to go for the i20 over the i30?

[@ndhkroatien999]

@@DetForte the fact is smaller and lighter. and a proper track/rally inspired car. reminds me of the hot hatches from the 90s. and probably one if not the last of its kind

[@DetForte]

@@ndhkroatien999 I'm sure the i20N will be a lot of fun! Can't wait to see them out and about. I nearly considered it myself

[@eliotrintoul8914]

Looks mint. Picking up mine tomorrow! I saw in another comment that you'd replaced the bulbs with LEDs. Stupid question, but how did you know which weren't LEDs and what to replace with?!

[@DetForte]

Oh congrats! You'll love it! :) It's only the rear indicators and reverse lights that aren't LED. You can easily tell because the bulbs are halogen. Super easy to change, I definitely recommend it. LED are a lot brighter and look better in my opinion!

[@eliotrintoul8914]

@@DetForte I'll give it a shot! I'm in UK, but how do I know what I'm looking for to replace?! Really excited to pick it up. Coming from a Mk 7 GTI so hoping it'll be a nice change and hopefully an upgrade!

Soon i get one to but i dont can decide between the DCT and the Manual

[@Drskuxxxdeluxxx000]

Was worried the DCT would pop and crackle more than the manuals but looks like they sound very similar!

[@DetForte]

Trust me the manual pops and bangs all the time! Not sure about the dct but I imagine they would be pretty similar.

[@mateuszszostek6400]

​@@DetForte have you considered any other car? I'm thinking about A35 AMG or this I30N fastback :) and can't decide. I'm from Poland and we I have no sunroof and no blind spot and I'm wondering if I can order one in Germany for lease.

[@DetForte]

@@mateuszszostek6400 I personally haven't, I've always wanted the i30N. The AMG 35 would be a nice car but costs a lot more to buy and maintain. I don't think you get the same fun factor driving wise as well. The i30N is more loud, raw and just fun to drive, where I don't think you get that with the AMG. But everyone has different tastes! I'd deffs test drive them both and decide then. I do prefer the hatch personally but the fastback is still sexy!!

[@SeanGT83]

I test drove both last weekend. I found the dct pops more than manual. I went with the manual.

[@DetForte]

@@SeanGT83 good choice with the manual! Enjoy it!!

[@willd4102]

Is the newer version more tuner friendly because I know the older versions turbo was the bottneck for the beast that could have been?

[@DetForte]

From what I've heard yeah they're more tuner friendly

[@boyzepter]

You had changed all LED interior and licence plate... not stock one... have you change the sunvisor to led and glove box too???cool colour

[@DetForte]

License plate and most of interior came LED already stock. I only changed the boot/trunk, reverse and indicators to LED. No didn't do sunvisor yet!

[@MG-ut3gh]

Hello, what about headlights? From video their performance seems poor. I am looking forward to order this car.. but it seems like KIA has its headlights level above.

[@DetForte]

They aren't to bad but nothing special. You can adjust the height of them with a dial inside the car.

[@andrewfinkelsteintennis1915]

Great car! Is that a stock exhaust, it sounds very good!? And is there any synthetic engine sound pumped into the cabin?

[@DetForte]

Thanks bro! Honestly I'm not 100% sure? I don't think there is!

[@andrewfinkelsteintennis1915]

@@DetForte thanks! I'm very tempted, although the kona n is very appealing aswell.

[@DetForte]

@@andrewfinkelsteintennis1915 Realised I missed your first question. Yes it's stock exhaust. Yeah Kona N is nice, digital dash is cool as well. I guess the i30N is more track ready and more raw to drive. Kona would be a little more tame but still amazing

[@gixxerboy555]

Nice,is this I30N totally stock?I had the 2020-version..

[@DetForte]

Yes its stock

Great car. This still has automatic rev match when you downshift??

Yes rev match's for you on the downshift

There aren't any pops when the car is in normal mode or eco mode.

Depends where you live. I'm in Australia, QLD. Mine was 47K drive away. If you are looking at the DCT you'd pay a fair bit more, think they're around 51 - 55K

Hello does It have a particle filter?.gpf,opf? I have a golf GTI performance and imthinking of gettting It...

I think it does but I'm honestly not sure. I can tell you it sounds better and a lot louder then a stock Golf GTI

[@javieralvarez563]

@@DetForte what about the interior the quality? Cause the golf doesnt sound a lot but the quality is good..

[@DetForte]

@@javieralvarez563 Interior is nice but honestly it's pretty basic, it has everything you need especially if you get the premium version. But if I were to compare it to the Golf, the Golf would win with quality materials and comfort for sure. But I wouldn't let that put you off buying it. It's an amazing car and a lot of fun!

You can customise it however you want. If you don't like the popping you can easily turn it off.

[@ggegeRGr]

Is it your daily? How comfortable is it just for normal driving?

[@DetForte]

Yeah it's my daily. Look it's not to bad but also not amazing. I mean it's a performance car so it's quite a firm ride even in normal mode. The sport seats really hug you so on long trips you do get a bit sore (well I do anyway) fuel isn't amazing.. but with all that been said once you wack it into N mode for some fun it's totally worth it haha

[@ggegeRGr]

​@@DetForte It certainly does look like fun to drive! Appreciate the response!

[@gixxerboy555]

@@DetForte that's the reason I sold mine..the ride was way too firm on our bad roads.(the Normal' mode should be softer!..).and the fuel was a little too much for daily (normal) use for going to work.. and I didn't really like the Blue performance colour i had chosen.(but though..sometimes I miss that awesome car..would be perfect as a second car if you have the money).Now i own the Hyundai Ioniq Hybride.. ;)
