Hyundai i30 Fastback N In-Depth Review | This, or the hatchback?

[@honzalouma9583]

Love it. Cant wait to get mine in couple of months!

[@pantelist04]

How is it? I am waiting for it in 2 and a half months

[@dheeradjlachman9658]

Which color you choose?

[@johncrane5437]

Great review and fantastic car. Ordered mine yesterday in shadow grey and can’t wait to collect in a couple of weeks. Easily as entertaining as a type R after driving both...

[@e1337prodigy]

Still good? no problems?

[@johncrane5437]

@@e1337prodigy yes, all good 👍🏼 not had a single problem and covered approx £35k miles so far. Literally just had it serviced every £10k and had 2 pairs of front tyres... AVG mpg coming out at 32.8 with mix of driving conditions. Hope that helps

[@e1337prodigy]

@@johncrane5437 yes thank you. Test drove one on Saturday. Just looking for a good deal, or wait a bit more. Meant to be buying a house not a car

Great review James. A fantastic car, looks really well, and road holding looks superb. I much prefer the Fastback styling to the i30 hatch. :-)

[@ParkersTV]

Thanks Andrew!

Thanks Andrew!

[@CraigLedden]

Its a lovely car. lovely rear end. With endless new SUV's being released it make s a nice change

[@gavinlewis3049]

Just ordered one, hopefully will get it next week or week after.

[@fattlane1866]

How is it?

[@gavinlewis3049]

@@fattlane1866 it's a great car for the price, one of the cheaper hot hatches, the looks and performance is spot on, only thing I will say is that the interior can be bland after a while due to dark plastics, but since its around 4-5000 quid cheaper than any rival then it is to be expected, its just on longer runs I tend to wish it was more bmw or German quality.

[@fattlane1866]

@@gavinlewis3049 glad you like it, thanks!

[@ragheedazzo1425]

You rock with your reviews!

[@ParkersTV]

Thanks Ragheed!

[@AlexandruWesternSpirit]

I hope a DSG is coming soon! I love it.

[@mga71]

I was told the dual clutch won't be released until the i30 gets a face lift here in Australia sometime next year.

[@mikuelable]

fastback looks sexy ...2020 i think a dsg is coming

[@troy9er]

Wish they would bring that model to the USA. I have a 2015 Elantra Limited that my wife drives as a Dailey. But the N would be for me. I could get a Veloster but I really like the look and the 4 doors of the Fastback.

[@Yearning.Astrophile]

Will it come to India

[@devinmoose]

Wish this were available in North America. I don't know why it isn't, it would be a big seller.

[@alexsmith-mv4ts]

It is an N version of the Fastback version of the Hyundai Elantra GT

[@swanblake]

If pure driving enjoyment is your priority, would you go i30N, 86/BRZ, or Fiesta ST? I would put Miata in there if my legs were shorter

[@ParkersTV]

Tough one! GT86/BRZ for outright fun, but Fiesta ST only slightly behind.

[@ashcosmo3854]

Fiesta ST has a 200 page engine failure thread on the forum, if worrying about putting your foot down results in an exploded engine I'd choose the Ford sure.

[@subratakumardas6532]

Love the starting background tunes ❤️ Kind request Hyundai plz launch this fastback in India 🇮🇳 This fastback will be a great success , guarantee 💯

[@newsupdate1324]

Far better than fords and Toyota

[@dheeradjlachman9658]

And more option Standard and cheaper in price

[@lordtumbleweed4817]

The only thing I can pick is the colour and wouldn't pick mucky grey like the test car.

[@lewisratford2908]

Does it have adaptive dampers?

[@ParkersTV]

It does indeed.

[@lewisratford2908]

Parkers Cars then why is normal mode harsh ? I’ve been a passenger in a Renault Mégane RS recently and it was awful on the road. Cars developed at the Ring tend to be unpleasant on uk roads.

[@ashcosmo3854]

@@lewisratford2908 I have an N and I'd say normal mode is far from awful. Obviously a base model Golf or I30 is going to be softer but the N in normal mode is just enough to remind you that you're in something more special. N mode is rough but for good reason as it's a track mode.

[@lewisratford2908]

Ash Cosmo I was talking about the Renault being particularly awful as it had no adaptive dampers. I think even if I tracked the Renault the ride every day would do my head in! Yes I agree that normal mode on hot hatches is never going to be a magic car ride.. Uk roads aren’t the best so adaptive dampers are pretty essential on fast cars when you are driving normally ..which is most of the time :) Really like the N though. Great package

[@VeganBytes]

Was going to buy a brz, then saw this, and then saw the price of both in ireland. 40k for the brz, 42k for the hyundai. Youz can both f off for that price. Crazy crazy money. But i suppose its my location and vat rate.

[@noblemav]

Not a bad review if I don’t say so myself, 👍👏👏

[@mikuelable]

It's weird how your head brush the roof and petrol ped is 6 feet plus and he had decent head room but 0 leg room

[@kjenk19]

mikuelable maybe he likes to sit more upright than Ped

[@dheeradjlachman9658]

I like this Hyundai Fastback so much!!!👌

[@jorgemtds]

With a car like this you don't need a great rear view visibility as you'll need all your focus on the front 😉.

[@vishnujayakumar1467]

[@adiwinata79]

Hyundai take the world from 2012. For amazing car

[@sulokaynarcali7512]

This looks like a clone of and has similar specs to my 2016 Skoda Octavia RS liftback.. To bad acknowledgements to the "Simply Clever" innovations of the Czech brand are not made in any reviews of the Hyundai I have yet seen.

[@chiquicat1]

Hyundai, how dare you not have a n automatic option in Australia mate?? My wife can't drive manual so I am missing on this amazing car. Thank you very much you dipshits!

[@aertsjoy3212]

Buy the car anyway, throw your wife out the door

Drove the harch ,its amazing in every way this looks even better . I really hate the interior the quality and ergonomics are bad and i couldn't get past that
