The hyundai is the only car in it's segment and the only car that i know of apart from Mclaren in the world that is maintaining the warranty for the car even with track use. Awesome stuff

[@DIZAZZO]

Onoff314 That's make a lot of sense. The buyers will get one of those to thrash it on the track, keep the warranty shows how the brand rely on their work, and shows that is a good product. Very good.

[@Jaime7188]

I still have my warranty on my Toyota even though I track it. I had a front control arm ball joint go bad, and they fixed it under warranty.

[@limpet7r63]

I spent a day driving the i30N around Millbrook a few weeks ago, and it is a very impressive car. The e-diff is fantastic, and gives incredible front end bite in all conditions. The engine sounds good and feels strong, and there's a playful feel to the handling that reminded me of a Peugeot 306 GTI-6. What's more despite a full day of being thrashed to within an inch of their lives, including one car that spent the day being revved to its limiter in neutral by 60 or so people so they could hear the pops and bangs, nothing broke, fell off, or stopped working. The idea that a Hyundai would be mentioned in the same sentence as a Golf GTI would have been laughable a couple of years ago, but this really does do things a GTI can't. Mostly deliver a genuine sense of fun and a level of interaction in the handling that is missing from so many modern cars. It's an absolutely brilliantly set up, thoroughly developed car that deserves to sell as fast as they can build it.

I believe the audio is recorded from outside as the video immediately cuts to the outside shot of the car. I own an i30N and have driven the Golf GTI extensively. They're on par when it comes to sound insulation.

VW Golf is always known for creating the benchmark in its segment. Finally, an arch rival in i30N form.

[@chrisjansen6690]

Arch rival? The Hyundai shits all over the Golf in every way lol

[@StupidusMaximusTheFirst]

Well, the benchmark was set with the original VW Golf, which is the VW Polo in its modern version. The modern Golf only carries the name, it shares nothing with the original Golf, not even in appearance.

"VW Golf is always known for creating the benchmark in its segment." - That wasnt really the case since the Golf 3.

Perfect UK weather condition.

[@BlitzzGames]

And with this, the FWD hot hatch segment is intense.. With the Type R at the very top. Just wish there would be a new MazdaSpeed3 to compete, but the i30N is a monster and the GTI is a performer as to be expected. I'm an AWD snob (drive a 400hp STi hatchback) but for the first time might be willing to make the switch

This i30n looks likes is gona kick some ass to German hot hatches when fitted with dct, auto gear box 👌

[@fynnday6128]

the manual already puts up a good fight because of the rev matching and torque vectoring and slip diff. i work for hyundai as well as own an i30n and you would not believe the amount of tech that goes into this cars gear box and engine. it will even put the turbo into over boost if youre just under the power band and you can hear it whistling way above the engine sound until you get in the power band then the engine takes over. in addition it will increase the rate of flow by the fuel pump too. the clutch is an absolute monster because it is built for reliability too and if you put it in second instead of 4th at 90 mph cause im an idiot sometimes the gear box will cope with it very well and it will slow the fuel pump down starving the engine until youre under 7k revs. all in all it is a serious bit of kit and lot of people dont know it in full.

[@FatherJack-b1u]

Stig has just upped his game by driving 2 cars at the same time!

[@flywithtb5005]

As long as there is competition in this segment, the customer always wins

[@CollisionofSoul]

The Hyundai I30 N is a daily driver built by Biermann to be pushed and punished, and that's why Hyundai won't void your warranty if you take it to the track and push it. The GTI is a plush daily driver that will not withstand the punishment. VW now has to up its game, which means better brakes, bushings and suspension upgrades to run with the N.

[@UTubeSL]

The i30 N is an amazing car. Genuinely would love one! I do wonder if sporty PHEVs might out-muscle cars like the i30 N in future though - as well as delivering more miles per gallon.

[@nickt5978]

D Brown also if you watched the video you saw that the N was very tale happy while the GTI was planted and stable.

[@CollisionofSoul]

Biermann built that tale happiness into the chasis for what he calls beats per minute (BPM). He did the same thing with the Kia Stinger, which is also his baby.

[@fatdoi003]

no need, VW will come out with Golf gti track edition or package... why upset 95% of their existing customers when they only use it as daily driver

[@Daniel-dg3np]

I'd prefer it if they put firmer bushing in the GTi driveline. eg. pendulum mount, engine mounts. They axle tramp like crazy even in some daily driving circumstances, especially when it's wet. A tiny bit of extra vibrations shouldn't make the latte crowd buy something else.

[@kumaress7546]

[@junkim4400]

Look how much more steering adjustment the golf had to do compare to the i30 lol

[@StupidusMaximusTheFirst]

The Hyundai Ns are amazing cars and I don't understand why other manufacturers in the same class, don't include the custom options the Ns have for standard. It seems like Hyundai actually understands people who wanna have a blast here and there and like speed - custom tech options for engine performance adjustment, stability systems adjustments etc. but also a good old _manual_ gearbox. Real drivers who can actually drive fast wanna have control over the gearbox. Automatic gearboxes on fast cars is like adding a supermarket basket in front of your Yamaha R1 - it's just shouldn't be there. Autogearboxes will also make you slower, will hinder your abilities to drive fast, and that of the car's no matter if they have normal and sport modes - what the computer has in mind is totally different to what you wanna do. (why would you do this VW to your amazing car? Ok maybe you see the new Golf as a family car really, for the family guy who just wanna brag by never going above 30 towards the local supermarket, but DCT auto on the Polo? Pleasee...) So yeah, some new tech is good, some no. Even WRC drivers with electronic sequential gearboxes wanna control the gears themselves, they would never just leave this up to some 'sport mode'. While I'd say no to autogearboxes, electronically adjusted suspensions by the driver, and other stuff the N has is definitely a yes. I think Hyundai got it right with the Ns. Especially this i20N... small light and powerful, that's a proper fast little beast!!!

[@numbbody261]

This was so hard to watch 😂 Like two dogs on ice 😂

[@carcrazyguysa4059]

The GTI is SA's most loved hot hatch without doubt. Pity all we get from Hyundai about the I30n is a "maybe".

[@georgemavrides3434]

Great stuff. The Golf is not even close to being compared to the i30N. The discussion that lies ahead is when Hyundai beefs this up to >300hp and mates it with that DCT which will allow it to go H2H with the Type R, Focus RS, 308 GTi in both power and 0-60 times. The chassis seems very capable so the platform is there. Perhaps further down the road, they slap-in a bigger displacement engine together with AWD ... we could be looking at 0-60s in mid-4 to 5s (taking on RS3 and M2)

[@tv-fk5sf]

i30's performance is much better than golf gti Expect for acceleration on the straight. But i30 drifting at the corner and balance and really good sound are the best of hatch backs

I actually own a 2014 Golf GTI and I absolutely adore the thing. It does absolutely everything I could ever ask of it. It's reliable, efficient and I think it looks stunning as well! The Hyundai might be sportier, I still love the overall package of the GTI and just the allround capabilities of the thing. It's so damn good in just about everything it does. Of which only 0.05% is track driving in my ownership. Couldn't ask for more, probably going to order a Golf R soon since I like to change my cars frequently. This GTI stays in the family though. Kudo's to Hyundai for making a good hot hatch! It's not a brand I have any connection with and the design is not for me. But I do wish them all the best. Liking one of these cars doesn't mean you have to hate the other. I wish all future buyers of these cars an awful lot of fun!

[@MegaMymusiclist]

Comparing i30N to Golf GTi, incredible... i30N is far more ahead.

Good race, win Hyundai👏👏👏👏

[@justahyundai]

the Hyundai probably would have been closer to 1:30 if it wasnt stuck behind the vw half the lap

[@honshin23]

The i30n is about 200kg heavier than golf. 2 generation i30n, which weighs less, will be surprising

What R U doing Golf~ Das Auto~??

[@elisano25]

235 vs 275

[@MagikkMaan]

It is not all about hp..

[@runnerbaba]

But price is the same. People buy cars in the same price range....not the same Horsepower Range...

[@MagikkMaan]

German Big I think when he wrote "235 vs 275" he meant that the GTI lost because the less amount of horsepower. I meant that it did not lose just because of that, especially when it is as wet as it was. Chassi, electronics and brakes need to be taken in to consideration. I was not referring to the price range and I don't know how you based your conclusions on that.

[@Daniel-dg3np]

And power to weight isn't so different. These cars aren't really about track times anyway because they REALLY aren't performance track machines at all, or lap time heroes. It doesn't matter if one is slightly faster than another, it matters about the complete package/price and what values buyers prioritize. It seems clear from every review across the world that the i30N is a better drivers car, while the GTi offers slightly less performance and involvement but more luxury qualities (at a higher price too).

On the last trun its evident the GTI traction control is working full time. Look at the cluster. Same trun I30 N has no lights flashing.

I'm waiting for WRC
