This Hyundai i20N Just THRASHED These Cars!

[@BM_PAZ]

I have one of these, your comment at 2:50 was absolutely spot on. This car needs to be pushed hard and the faster you go, the better it gets.

[@cinch]

It really revels in being driven hard :)

[@NoDoSwLa]

After driving it as a daily for 1 year, I just can say, that it's the best thing I've ever bought.

[@frederikvaneeckhoven4458]

I had an i30 N, sold it a year ago because I had a company car and it was just standing there... I now changed jobs, had to buy a car, got a Golf GTI... I still cry myself to sleep every night. The GTI isn't even allowed to tie the laces of the i30 N. Hyundai really nailed their N models.

[@nathanb2100]

That is a pretty great time 😄. A few seconds faster than an BMW with 300bhp more is impressive (although to be fair, the Hyundai is also quite a bit lighter as well) 😄👍

[@cinch]

We agree, Nathan! It's really punched above its weight. A true hot hatch pocket rocket :)

[@luke_01-49]

Just can’t wait to figure out what mine can do now on a track with a bit more power (240hp tested with 30°C, standard 95 fuel and A LOT of humidity). The difference in terms of acceleration is ENORMOUS

[@davidhayes4814]

So why have so few i20Ns been sold? My partner has just bought a new black one for £25K. With a manual gearbox and a real handbrake it appears to be a steal at its low price and with a whole heap of standard equipment. We both love this throw-back car …. and we are really really old… well I am anyway.

[@robbiemein5062]

I also just bought one, went full spec with paint and speakers. What's the wait time you've been told? I've been told 8-12 months

[@davidhayes4814]

@@robbiemein5062 Hi Robbie, I ordered it from Marshall’s, Worcester on March 11th and picked it up mid-May. I paid £25400 with mats, and black pearl paint. It was quick because they had already pre-bought it. They do that at Marshals. It is a great little car, to be used for daily commuting by my partner. She chose black to be a bit more understated.

[@robbiemein5062]

@@davidhayes4814 thank you for the reply. No preorder from the Hyundai dealership I ordered from so need to wait for a factory build or a cancellation :/ went with the black roof but blue paint which I thought looked smart. Hope you's are enjoying the car, can't wait to get mines coming from a 2013 Volvo V40

[@ljp1942]

​@robbie mein Good luck getting a cancelled order I have been waiting a year and a half.

[@cinch]

Nothing like an old school hot hatch to bring back those youthful feelings on the road :)

[@benpenagonzales6014]

Bought one of these brand new. Love it. Wife does the school run in it and I use it at the weekend. LSD is brilliant. P zero rubbish in the cold. 5 years warranty inc track days!

[@ianhately9117]

Agree with the tyres be trying different ones

[@emiliospowerballer1441]

This car punches well above its weight. Definitely worth the money. Nice lap by the way too.

[@cinch]

It sure does, Emilios! Thanks :)

[@claudiadavies5110]

Absolutely loved watching this incredible car in its natural habitat, it's an awesome package and a fabulous daily driver cos it's exciting, cool and fun 😊😊😊

[@cinch]

Glad you enjoyed the video, Claudia :)

[@Buck3366]

The video really captures what the car is capable of. That was some lovely interior footage of just how compliant and agile the I20 is in the right hands.

[@cinch]

Thanks - we loved filming the car, so we're glad you've enjoyed the video :)

[@predragbojanic8922]

I mean… the quality of these productions and presenting… up there with the best.

[@cinch]

Thanks so much for the kind words, Predrag :)

[@mitkoprakov1296]

the I20N is a fast car no doubt i see all time time i20N vs all others. There are so few almost to non that make some comparison with the 20 N line how good compares to the other.

[@billshoe22191]

Really impressive it beat the tuned Fiesta ST.

[@glrage]

I wish we had this car in the states😢

[@cinch]

We agree it's a shame it's not sold in the US, Edwin. Be sure to try one if you visit Europe anytime soon :)

[@stu0500]

Love my 20n it’s an awesome daily. My Gr is mind bending. (420 bhp)

[@cinch]

That sounds fun, Stuart!

[@paulwardzynski3265]

Great video thanks. Old school but mechanically sound. What's it like day-to-day though.

[@cinch]

Thanks, Paul. It's actually very easy to live with, just like a standard i20. So long as you don't mind the firmer ride :)

[@BM_PAZ]

I do 120 miles per day in mine, the hard suspension can get irritating sometimes but that’s not really what’s it’s designed for. I just wanted something that could give me a bit of fun, at least partially on my commute.

[@benpenagonzales6014]

We’ve got one for school run and fun. Firm suspension yes but lovely dampers. Not choppy. Back seats better than i30. And it’s £10k cheaper with all the extras and 5 years warranty

[@augustvonmackensen9785]

I have been waiting for 18 months for this car, received it 2 months ago, and sorry to say I do not like it very much. I honestly think it is overhyped, gimmicky, very heavy on steering, jarring ride, build quality is not great…. Made a decision to buy it after 15 min test drive, and later on watched too many reviews hyping it up. Well, I guess I f..ed up 🤷‍♂️

[@cinch]

Sorry to hear you’re unhappy. Sam loved the car on track; perhaps you need to get it onto the right road (something twisty and open!) to discover its true best self 🤞🏽

[@ljp1942]

You can still sell it for a profit though 😊

[@cinch]

And buy something else (maybe a Fiesta ST?) from cinch 😛@@ljp1942

[@ljp1942]

@cinch I suspect your a Ford man masquerading as a troll me thinks 🤔

[@ごえ-p1x]

？？？

[@andrewmaple9863]

Love these hyundai i20ns biut I think I would have a fiesta st as I don't do track days

[@dmode2793]

Much prefer the ST as a road car and I wouldn't buy the i20N as I think it's too visually challenging.

[@mharro88]

​@@dmode2793st is way more uncomfortable than a i20 though

[@cinch]

The ST is a fantastic car too. Sam's always loved them on the road :)

[@andrewmaple9863]

@@mharro88 I'm getting a puma st

[@dmode2793]

@@mharro88 Possibly, but the ST is far from uncomfortable. The 8.5 has some of the best sports seats I've tried and I find the suspension firm yet compliant. I've no complaints.

[@puremad1]

A three cylender doesnt have the the tone of a four !!! maybe thats because its working alot harder than the 4 your saying doesnt have it !! YOU'RE FIRED boy !! hahahahaha
