Just collected my car. Manual with n-light seats :D

Did a factory order in May. Dealer had estimated 12-14 weeks, but ordered and collected within 10 weeks.View attachment 17693

Ahh that's good to hear. I ordered the exact same spec but in Shadow Grey, from Smiths in Peterborough using coast2coast 5 weeks ago. Hopefully I'll have similar luck and have mine by the end of August/start of September 😁
 
Took my 2021 N DCT for a break in run today covering 250 Km over highway and minor back roads, driving in Normal mode. It was difficult to keep under 3000 rpm. I must say that I was very happy with the N overall. Road noise was an issue on course bitumen surfaces, also slight wind noise. I would expect noise to be an issue with this type of vehicle.
The N Lite seats were very comfortable and I was surprised that my wife also loved the seats which I didn't expect..
Fuel economy was 8.8 l/km (420 km on clock). I will have to turn off all the bells and whistles (lane warnings) as the random beeps were annoying. I would rate the i30 N DCT 10 out of 10.
I am a 70+ year old teenager that can't dive a docile car. Sold a 2017 Ford Mustang to buy the N!

Have they given you an actual date yet? My order still isn't showing a date apparently which is an issue with Hyundai's system. Something about them having to accept orders individually via a ticketing system and there being. a bit of a backlog.

Nope not yet. But then again I haven't actually been in contact with them since I ordered. I was going to wait a few more weeks before asking for an update, but I might give them a call in the next few days to see if my order has been accepted and if they can give me a delivery date.

Black Badges (UK)

Has anyone found a seller for the Hatchback badges?

I have messaged someone on EBay from Germany (https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/customizedcovers/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=) to see if he will post to the UK, as his last listing for hatchback badges would not post to the UK, but the N logos do.

Update:

German Seller didn't respond to the email I sent (Shame). Seems like the only other options are replacing the badges fully with the kit from here:


Or, alternatively; waiting until N Garage get the Covers back in stock here:


Unless anyone has any suggestions?

Just spoke to Hyundai on the phone and they said they're unable to give me a delivery date due to the same issue with the system. Aparently it's taking up to 5 days for orders to go through. The guy told me he'll give me a call as soon as they have a delivery date.

Was that a dealership or Hyundai UK/Whatever country you're in?

I wonder if its Hyundai's stockpile of semiconductors running down so they're being a bit more careful with their order acceptance or just an actual issue with the system.

I ordered from Smiths Hyundai in Peterborough.

Yeah that's a good shout actually, although it does sound like there's an actual issue with their system. The guy on the phone said there's rumours going round that people are unable to place orders due to the error, but he said there's a way around it that some dealers might not be aware of so that's not true.

I ordered from the same place and told Keith about those rumours yesterday 😂

I bought them from the first link, but its Hard to replace the Front Emblem. Better buy the Covers once they are back in Stock

I didn't get in contact with the dealer myself after ordering. They did email themselves a few times though.

After around 2 weeks, they emailed me to say the estimated date is 8th September, then when it got to about 5 weeks I received an email saying it's been brought forward to 16th August. Then all of a sudden, two weeks ago I received a phone call saying your car has arrived at our dealership today. They were just as surprised as I was lol. Good news though. I could have picked it up a week earlier so 9 weeks in total, but couldn't get time off work.

If that is anything to go by then hopefully you guys should receive your cars within a similar timeframe.

I have just placed my order for a new DCT N in Performance Blue!
Took my 2020 model in for its first service and took the new DCT out while I waited and was blown away, N lite seats were very nice too.

great deal too due to the current crazy value of used cars, cost to switch to the new version with DCT, NLite seats and performance blue paint was ZERO!

Why would I say no? Even the wife agreed 😂
