i20N - Reviews, General Discussion & Info

Surprised with that pricing, So around £3k more than an ST3 and no three door option.. Good luck with that..
A three door would be great, but like you say, sadly not in Hyundai's plans...

Not sure you're right about the price though; just looking at the Ford UK website an ST3 with silver metallic paint (£525 option) is coming out at £25,105. Ford's finance is cheaper though at 2.9% rather than Hyundai's 4.9%.

Not really when you look at the base level tech + additional discounts. Plus the ST3 is showing its age. Hasn't been refreshed for 4 years.
 
Infact if you spec up the 5 door and equivalent tech for an ST3 its an eye watering £26,930

I’m really trying to like this car but it’s looks aren’t doing it for me sorry, I’m hoping it looks better in the flesh tho..
 
I think the design is really dividing people. Also there aren't that many proper reviews and user experiences yet. I think it looks great, great fun to drive (property more fun than i30n) and sufficient power for my driving needs. I'm super exited and will buy one at first opportunity.

I demoed the i30n. While an awesome car I found it slightly too big for my need (I also have a bigger SUV for the practical boring stuff). I much prefer a smaller car that is easier to play with on the smaller country roads. Hence i30n brings no additional value to me while more expensive.

From what I can see, there is not too much love among forum users for the i20N model.
When the i30n came out it was just the same. We, early adopters, were laughed at...
Nearly every carenthousiast on car forums told us we were mad to buy a Korean "hot hatch" because, even when it would turn out to be good, you wouldn't be able to sell it because nobody would want it after a few years.
Let's say time proved them verry wrong! The i30n proved to be a real hype and second hand prices are much higher than expected.
I think this could be the same for the i20n, so let's wait a few months before believing those forum guys...

It will be more fun to drive than the i30N, no doubt about it, dropping around 350kgs makes a massive difference, but I can’t get into it’s looks just yet, but from what I’ve seen already, if I was to buy another N car, I think I’d go for the i30N sedan, I love the look of that, it’s also got a really nice interior as well, the only thing I wish Hyundai would stop doing is putting that red shit at the bottom of there N cars, maybe I’m just getting older and like them a bit more understated? but it just makes them look cheap and too try hard, I’ll be putting a wrap over it if I get another one..

I'm driving mine since 2 days now and it is pure fun. Interior is extremely well done, seats comfy, entertainment has everything I could ask for, driving in 2nd and 3rd gear + Nmode is just mad (! in a good way) once oil temp is ready. We were driving the autobahn and my girlfriend was checking on the phone for a sec and thought we were driving 130, but were actually at 200. She was surprised a) how silent and b) how relaxed the car was for that quick acceleration. The suspension is really "sporty" and you can tell the difference between front and back of coin if you would drive over one :D. The car looks great in person, but maybe the back could be just a tiny, tiny bit "cleaner", but what gives. I understand what n-raged means with the red lines, but for when I walk back to it from the supermarket, the car as a whole just looks damn nice.

Can definitely recommend.
