An i30, Only More Stylish: Hyundai i30 Fastback First Drive

[@CarObsession]

Hi all, thanks so much for watching this video! I just want to say a big thanks to Alex Tapley who assisted me with the drone footage. Check out his work here: alexander-tapley.squarespace.com/

Hyundai evolved so much!

[@CarObsession]

Yup, they've come quite some way - thanks for watching.

Great review. The car looks even better in lighter colours. I have owed 2 Hyundai's and have never used their extended warranty, so reliability should be excellent for the i30 Fastback.

[@CarObsession]

Hi Andrew, as always, thanks for watching. I quite like it Micron Grey if I'm going to be honest, but it does look quite good in the red and blue colours Hyundai offers.

JUst bought this 2021 i30 Nline version in white - beautiful!

Hi there, thanks for watching, and thanks for the comment.

[@henrikkoukku2896]

Wow!!!👍🏼 Look really good. 😋😎 And that color. 👌🏼

[@mohammedbouhend7084]

Yes it’s pretty nice car but i think the N version is the best choice! Thanks for the great review!

[@SteveLBMK]

Yep, looking forwards to the i30N of the fastback!

[@zoltannagy7288]

Nice review! ;) Can't wait to get mine.

[@CarObsession]

Thank you for the feedback Zoltán, thanks for watching.

[@menifo4334]

Please, do let us have a rounded impression of how the car looks like before you settle behind the steering wheel.

Hi Meni, thanks for watching. I normally do this, but I had limited time with the car, so I wasn't quite able to get all of the footage I would gather normally.

[@chrisabbott683]

Good review. Will you review the new Focus?

[@CarObsession]

Hello Chris, thanks for watching. I'm hoping to, I'm waiting for Ford to come back to me.

[@rcajavus8141]

i30 fastback ev, that would be a hit!

[@stevenmcevoy5413]

Thanks for another great video. I already commented on your review of the M240i. When I eventually sell my M240i this will be high up on my list of replacements. I will be too old (approaching 60) to get an i30 N fastback and just want something a bit stylish, reliable, comfortable and refined without being too slow. Obviously, this will be nothing like my beemer but will I be disappointed after the M240i? My wife has a 1.2 i10 and it's a great little car. Has not missed a beat and the Hyundai dealer in Canterbury is excellent. Any other suggestions..?

[@CarObsession]

Thank you Steven, it's always good to get positive feedback! I'm glad you like the video, thanks for watching. In regard to other suggestions...Hmm... I'll need to get my thinking cap on... Oh, how about...Mazda3 Fastback? Interior wouldn't be on par with the Beemer, but it's bound to handle well, and it's a good looking car.

[@stevenmcevoy5413]

Thanks for the suggestion. I like the look of the Mazda 3 fastback but I think I would miss the low down shove of a turbo. I have had a lot of high revving cars including Honda Prelude VTi and S2000 (both were awesome) but these days I like the more relaxed nature of cars with low down torque and think the Mazda is unlikely to have that. By the way, I also had a Mazda RX8 and was not too impressed with that. The S2000 and Prelude were way better.

Auto brake hand button ? or normal hand brake level ?

[@CarObsession]

Hello Ovidiu, thanks for watching. I can confirm this car has an electric parking brake.

[@ovidiupaunescu4046]

@@CarObsession Thank you, i am interesting in buy Kia Ceed or Hyunday FastBack..so far Hyunday wins because of the price and equipment that comes with the car .

[@stephendodge4086]

I have watched your reviews of the Vauxhall Insignia, the Ford Mondeo, and now this one, I have to say that your reviews are very good and, so very honest, keep up the good work. Please tell me which in your opinion is a better choice between this Hyundai i30 and the Vauxhall Astra Elite Nav?

[@CarObsession]

Thanks Stephen! That's great feedback, thank you so much for watching.

[@CarObsession]

Hello Stephen, I've just seen that you edited your comment to include a question. I've not driven the new Astra, so I can't comment on that.

[@stephendodge4086]

@@CarObsession Okay, thank you for your reply, it's just that I am thinking of buying the new i30 tourer but at present I have a 2019 Vauxhall Astra Elite Nav tourer and just wondered which might be the better car?

[@SteveLBMK]

Hmm, re: sweeping roofline and rear headroom & visibility, a case of style over substance and perhaps not the most sensible decision, Hyundai!

[@CarObsession]

Well, at least you get a bigger boot, it's not all bad 😂Thanks for watching Steve!
