Hyundai i30 Fastback N: Road And Track Review | Carfection 4K

[@Bandee91]

For me, Hyundai/Kia is the ultimate winner of the 10yearschallenge. Unbelieveable how far they have come.... Great car and great review!

[@ronm9357]

Astute comment

[@TheRealChilly]

Same. Since I bought my '13 Veloster I became a huge supporter for this brand to succeed. Really excited for the future. Now they just need to come out with a AWD version of any the N models.

[@engiidville]

U can't honestly say any Asian car looks good. Name one.

[@rcl300018]

I agree, they shit all over the japanese maufacturers these days in my opinion. I was a big fan of japanese vehicles back in the nineties but they have lost they plot ever since.

[@engiidville]

@@rcl300018 they have failed to make the badge desireable in my head... the plasticky grills with the chrome paint... the thickness of the plastics inside... the lack of german logic to position things in the cabin. CVTs... they refuse to make cars for the west but since they have cheap labor and lobby in the US their cars are 13k with a 7yr warranty. this kills US manufacturing. less money in the economy to drive shittier vehicles. the only selling point of this pos is the german engineer who built it. think about it

[@TheBackRoads]

It certainly feels like Rory is really settling in well with you guys, the i30 N Fastback is pretty good too...

[@paulj3625]

100% agree its great to have Rory back.

[@basithph8958]

This is the hot hatch with the best sound right behind the RS3 This is definitely another major car of Hyundai

[@Fiwek23452]

2016 m2 sounds best

[@basithph8958]

[@markcowland5384]

BASITH PH it doesn't worry you how fake it sounds?

[@basithph8958]

Mark Cowland what? This has actual exhausts there is no amplified sound in the cabin and the crackles and pops are from the anti lag system that the i30N has So this is actual sound

This review gives me goosebumps everytime I see it, because of it, I bought a Polar White fastback and I love every minute of it !

Poor Rory...young intelligent articulate genuine motoring Journalists....so what do the BBC decide...bring in an ex cricketer and comedian to their flagship motoring program, to promote “lad culture “ that died out in 1999...thank heavens for Chris Harris....keep up the good work Rory

[@eddiesibiya4185]

I agree. Chris Harris, Matt LeBlanc and Rory Reid were a better combination than the current presenters!

[@patmtc477]

Come on guys..this guy is not bad at all. Is it because he has the wrong skin colour?

[@rhyshansford2288]

Rory’s tiny review of the i30n on top gear was unfair on a presenter that is clearly as talented as this car is. 👍🏼

[@53glowe]

First time I've listened to a review by Rory...his script and what he brought to the table in presentation style, was simply outstanding. You have won yourself a new subscriber. Chapeau👍

[@LACUK-lx2sb]

I bought an N with my heart 100%, i fell typical to badge snobbery and having 3 german >300bhp motors before hand i was dubious! Took it for a drive and it was an instant change of my mind. Absolutely brilliant fun and the most enjoyment i’ve had behind a wheel! Can’t wait to take it to a track this summer and burn the Pzeros away

[@unknownsource1369]

I am the proud owner of an i30N and can say the same. Puts a smile on my face each time I drive it!

[@rattlehead999]

If it's an overkill for a Hyundai it's an overkill for any car... what's the logic behind that statement?

[@manowar5516]

This Rory/Carfection partnership is nice. Great review guys.👏

[@rhyshansford2288]

I’ve got the i30n hatch and I’m so pleased to see a truly talented presenter given the time and the freedom to properly review this version, well done Rory and carfection, great review and presenter showing us how it’s done 👏🏼

[@Ray__E]

Amazing how far Hyundai has come. This is a very nice car.

[@johnjackson12]

Rory you are looking trim there mate. Always liked your reviews as they were honest and to the point. Glad to see them on carfection. Really love the look of this car though!

[@MotorsportbyMario]

Quality video and presenter. All 4 Carfection presenters are very good, Rory was a great addition. Massively underrated/underappreciated because people like hating on TG for no real reason Glad to see he found a "home" where he can be himself and the audience respects him

[@Cernunn0s90]

I have a 2019 i30N Hatchback and I love it to bits. I have owned it for 6 months and I cannot go more than a few days without getting the itch to just go out for a drive, and every time I get back home and park it, I regret not having gone for a longer one... I constantly take detours whenever I go for errands. It's a car I struggle to drive slowly, because it just wants you to push it, and it gives you so much confidence as well. The community around it is great too, with a bunch of mods available to it.

[@leelifeson9150]

Best review u tube channel . The camera work and the editing is amazing , and the reviews are really informative. Thanks.

Best Video ive seen in Motoring Journalism believe me ive seen a few in my dayzzza, but this is story, a tale of a furious hero, this korean warrior is something beautiful, something to cherish and enjoy. Makes me wanna buy the car right away.... Cheers

[@bradgray3577]

I hope this car makes it way to Canada! Unfortunately, Hyundai gave us the VelosterN. I never really warmed to the exterior design of the Veloster. This car however, I really like!

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

Man that thing is pretty. Hey Hyundai! Base all your models off of this because your 2019 elantra is horrible looking.

[@MrUser999999]

They should make all their sedans into fastbacks. The 2019 refresh should have been similar to the European version.

[@richardbrayshaw570]

Beautiful review! Well done Rory and team. Some nice shots in the 'golden light' too. Terrance Malick would be proud.

[@abdelhameedalotaibi3657]

I cant believe that Europe gets this gorgeous looking thing and we are stuck with the 2019 elantra with its triangular head lights .. i guess the veloster that we get is somewhat better looking and close to the i30 but i would still rather get the i30 anyday ..

[@thepassionofthegoose5472]

I can't believe I missed this upon release. What a fantastic car and great review.

[@GetUpFalcon]

This is an absolute masterpiece. Masterclass from Rory - haven't seem much from him before.

[@Arora94]

I hope we get these in the US. I think the Veloster looks cool and all but would love a I30 N. Also love the content. Keep up the good work guys.

[@PiroFyre]

Only Veloster N for now. The Veloster N spoke to me so I bought one but I can understand it's a car not meant for everyone. But hopefully with good sales numbers and a high demand from people wanting to buy these new cars, they'll bring the other N cars over. Veloster N, to me, is more of "testing waters" since the first Velosters sold so well here.

[@lowlanz]

US gets Elantra GT n-line and it looks 90% i30n-ish in the design department at least and is an automatic

[@dave_riots]

@@lowlanz Yep, but that's not what we really want. We wanted something sexier, like this.

[@bwfam0521]

Americans are too busy buying crossovers. Too bad for enthusiasts...we just dont get the cool stuff

[@benvernick]

We need this car in the US , because 1) the new Elantra Sport is hideous looking, and 2) this car is just downright sexy looking and with that exhaust and power it would easily outsell the VW GLI. Hyundai if your listening I’d buy this car in a heartbeat!

[@maxfic]

This is beautifully made video, I love this car and wish we got it in the states.

Does anyone else think i30N Fastback sounds better than i30 Fastback N?

Jordan Kirkbride Just the way the name is said. Not much difference really

[@jordankirkbride4612]

@@henryhealy ohhhh I thought you meant the exhaust 😂😂 was tripping

[@MDWPlays]

I purchased my Hyundai i30 Fastback N last week. Currently awaiting 19 plate delivery in the UK. I test drove the car and the day later purchased it. The looks of the car are incredible and the drive is great. My only fault would be the touchscreen but that is me being picky. The only issue with it is the plastic around the screen looks a little cheap. If it was metal then the car would have no faults for me. Great boot size. I play alot of snooker and it has no issues fitting the cue and case in the back

[@alf279]

Great job, Hyundai and Albert Biermann. I never thought I'd say such a thing but I want this Hyundai, or the hatchback. I want it more than a Golf GTi or a Focus ST. Much more. Keep this up and Hyundai and Kia are going places. Competition is always a good thing.

[@flooooooo0686]

Stunning images, best review of the fastback I have seen so far

[@basithph8958]

This is just perfect I don’t know how

[@DouglasRosser]

Wow! Hope this one makes it across the pond.

[@TechHead03]

The camera guys nailed this, especially the last scene with the sun disappearing behind the mountain.

[@dwx]

That camera work is fire! Nice review

[@deadtothewxrld]

This might make me reconsider getting a GTI if they sold it in the US. They really gotta replace the veloster with this, I can actually stand to look at it without cringing.

[@twowheeler1000]

This car is pretty close to what the Mazda 323F was before it became the hatchback. That also was a fastback. Very handy four door, but with sporty coupé like lines. Nice to see some brand's still holding on to this concept

[@deepaksrinivasmondal]

Beautifully shot, very nicely written, a great review done right! (y)

[@stainMK2]

Your review style is unique...well done

[@muskistutter]

This looks so much better than the hatchback sibling, and also the Veloster we have in the States. Not bad, Hi-a-Unday.

[@monolith2001]

Fantastic review!!! Rory sounding sharp like Chris Harris in his delivery. Good on ya mate...keep it up.

[@gene978]

Rory did an AMAZING job here telling us and showing us the ins and outs of this performance Hatch back coupe from a brand I remember laughing at at some of those whacky designed Accents, Elentra’s Sonata’s. Santa fe’s from the early years. I am far from laughing at them now and actually impressed at each model what they have done in a short time and it’s not easy to change the peoples perspective. Well Done Hyundai! We just bought a new Santa Fe and I can’t believe all we get for that price. And it’s genually a Well put together vehicle.

[@zionakinjide650]

They are really changing perspective and improving brand image, not to talk of good experiences with their cars too for the most part.....Awesome improvements and growth over the years...They got a future.

[@qadrik]

It's a great shame that the BBC let go of Rory. He is so brilliant. He and Harris genuinely had something interesting to say on Top Gear.

[@andrewlee88]

incredible video review. I think you hit the nail on its head. Hyundai's brand is going to project itself firmly into the performance arena and they are squarely looking to do it with 'N' as the badge, prominently on its sleeves. I don't think the internet needs another supercar review or supercar vs supercar for the arm-chair boy racer. But this, these images, the words and the delivery comes together and drives home a promotional message usually in the M brand or AMG. Well delivered, Hyundai should play this video in its showrooms on repeat.

[@reqalawad5556]

Great job my friend, what an interesting interview ❤️

[@nahidrahman]

7:34, I suppose not really, but what about the Merc CLA, particularly the upcoming 35 Amg

[@iamagenius2646]

Dude, love your presentation !!! Best one I've seen for i30N Fastback. Where did you shoot this clip? Greece ?

[@cinemenico]

Subaru and Toyota came together for the BRZ/GT86. Mazda and Fiat came together for the MX-5/124 Spider. Toyota and BMW came together for the Supra/Z4. Would be interesting to see a collab between Hyundai and say Honda for a S2000 revival.

[@MuadDib1402]

please no :(

[@cinemenico]

Well, I mean, they can do it on their own, no problem either. :P Just... if they can be this disruptive with the i30N and i30 Fastback N... what could they do with a sporty 2 or 2+2 seater convertible? 🏎️💨🤩 That... I would like to see. Of course they had the Coupe or Tiburon back in their own days, but that never did it for me.

[@mikismays3760]

Shiznuts what about the genesis coupe

[@PinQuP]

Put Rory Reid in the title. I truly enjoy his take on cars.

[@matthewspringer3629]

Fantastic review! Technical, engaging and charismatic.

[@jasonjung113]

Carfection reviews are so underrated

[@whiteandnerdy511]

Does it bother anyone else that a "4 door coupe" is a term? Doesn't coupe mean 2 doors? Doesn't sedan mean 4 doors?

[@paddydowney6269]

It’s actually a 5 door liftback design, similar to the 4 series gran coupe, vw arteon, Audi A5 and all those.

[@tomhiggins4816]

Wish they just made an n version of the i30 touring

[@SpottedCreeper]

Yes it surprises me as well. I also thought a coupe needed to be a 2-door (can have four seats though, but you get in through the front doors). Looking at wikipedia (cos it is always right ;) ) it seems to agree that the term is for a 2-door car with a fixed roof, but it does mention that in the 21st century there are now 4-door coupes...

[@phrodendekia]

Yes. 4 door coupe is like saying fixed-roof convertible. They started saying this bullshit with the passat cc It's just a 5 door fastback/liftback I love it, looks like a mini mercedes

[@AlexD-xr6so]

That's why BMW came up with the term "Gran coupe"

[@MichalTenCalka]

Such a good review ! Good job with the overall quality of the episode ! Well done

[@bill7481]

Seriously good looking. Great review!

[@GarageSupra]

Great video however I feel some things really need to be included in a car review. Price, options, some more depth into the car like what the interior is like and clutch feel etc..

[@deadtothewxrld]

Rdizz Automotive I was thinking the same. At no point does price not matter

[@dodge3048]

Do they give the price in £, $, €, ¥? And is list price important? The price will vary from country to country and list price is increasingly becoming irrelevant as buyers move to lease deals which are very much dependant on the deposit, length of term etc. £30k for a Golf R transpired to be £250/mth, which was less than you'd pay monthly for a £27k Megane. Yet now, just a year or so later, the same Golf R is over £300/mth.

[@GarageSupra]

@@dodge3048 Whatever currency they want (or probably where ever most of their viewer base is from). Just use an online converter to get a rough idea of the price for your own country. As for list price being irrelevant when getting a loan for a car that just seems like a bizarre thing to say, it matters. For example if I wanted to get a car on finance and had a 10k deposit, the repayments between a 30k car and a 40k car are going to be very different and the finalised price of the loan after interest would be huge even though I may be paying a similar price per week/month. I should add that banks and new car dealerships will give you a better rate on a new car than a used or dealer used car because it boosts the economy and company sales. However I am from Australia and things may work a little differently here to the UK so take my information with a grain of salt

[@dodge3048]

@@GarageSupra I'm genuinely surprised that people pay for cars with loans these days, I wasn't aware Oz would be any different to the UK... shows my ignorance! Pretty much all new-car advertisement in the UK revolves around monthly payments. I reckon most people aren't even fully aware of the list price of their new cars... They even speak about options - upgraded nav, bling wheels, full leather etc. - as being "only £25 a month extra". And the monthly payments are often based not on the list price but the expected depreciation to the lease company, so you can end up with a lower payment on a car that has a higher list price than another. Crazy but true. But if carfection are getting lots of hits from countries where list is still relevant then I agree, they should be including it 👍
