Just spent two weeks touring the Canadian Rockies in a NIssan Pathfinder hire car.Although a comfortable car I couldn't help thinking from time to time wish I was in my i30N. Do others get withdrawal symptoms too!

Do you miss your i30N when on holiday?

I get withdrawal symptoms when the weather is perfect for driving but I am sitting in the office - and I can see my N sitting in front of the building 
I was i Prague for a week. Did not miss my i30N, because of a lot of city driving and the very many big/deep potholes in the city roads. Would be a nightmare with the 19 inch rims and manual.
Would be awesome with the Sport+ exhaust in the city and tunnels though
Had a cheap Golf with automatic and baloon tires (15 inch rims). Loved to pick up my car when we got back to Norway again. Felt as tight as a race car, after the rental Golf.

Absolutely. A comfortable SUV makes long road trips easy, but it rarely gives the same sense of connection that an i30N does. The steering, the exhaust, and the way the car responds to inputs are hard to replace. Sometimes the rental becomes part of the vacation, though, choosing something a bit more engaging can make a huge difference. Browsing options on: https://peacock-rentals.com, before a trip gave me the idea to pick a car that matched the driving roads rather than just the luggage requirements.
That said, the Canadian Rockies are probably one of the few places where a Pathfinder still makes a lot of sense. Plenty of space, comfortable over long distances, and less stress on rough roads. The funny part is that getting back into the i30N afterward usually makes it feel even better, tighter, sharper, and more special than before the trip.
