[@matthewwain9958]

@@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.

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

@@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

[@kreiseltower]

Thx for the vid! I have a pre-facelift i30N and love it every day. Every morning when I'm tired and not in the best mood to get up and go to work... I sit inside this car, push the starter key and then I'm the happiest man with a big grin all over my face.

I30N's are awesome cars and the new one looks even better than the old one IMO. Have been wanting to buy one for quite some, but they are quite rare and expensive here in the Netherlands unfortunately...

[@tubejorrit]

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.

[@rodneyyy95]

@@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

[@hamzasherazi9334]

It is a pretty intriguing prospect. Impressed by the performance of this thing. I didn't even notice someone was in the back seat until you pointed it out. I hope your other car was safe. Same cannot be said for the ring tracktor 2.0

[@xXYannuschXx]

About the first 20s: THIS is exactly what people dont seem to get these days, badges dont tell how good the actual car is! For some reason german cars are held in such high regard in everythign, even though they have gone downhill in terms of "drivers car feeling", even the performance versions. The Golf 8 GTI may be a little faster, but the i30N just feels SO MUCH more lively and makes a ton more fun to drive.

[@vladen14]

Got a 2018 model so pre facelift, still absolutely amazing, even for me, who doesn't drive track , it's just enormous everyday fun.

[@tocsa120ls]

The oil got nice and warm towards the end. On constant 'send' mode it might benefit from an external oil cooler; since the temperature dropped the moment you let off, I suspect this just has a simple oil/water heat exchanger.

[@WilliamLevesqueineX]

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

[@WilliamLevesqueineX]

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.

[@tylerhackman6832]

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.

[@tocsa120ls]

@@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?

Finaly some N love ! Thank you! Have my fastback for 2 years,42000km, +- 50 laps on the ring. Never had any real issues with it. Apart from running a little hot /intake temp on hot days.

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

[@gabrielvanya8245]

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

[@johndoe-ee7ko]
