i20N - Reviews, General Discussion & Info

Yes indeed the school run race track..🤪

My 3 year old is already a speed freak, literally shouts "SPEEEEEEEEED" and tries to jolt himself forward when in his stroller (and loves watching drag racing videos on youtube) - got a feeling he'll appreciate the new motor even more than I will! 🤣
 
Anyway, merged this into the main thread where the video had already been posted up.

Thanks for that ! I was going to ask to delete myself actually .
I didn't notice that the video was already posted and found pretty amusing material to watch. Never guessed the "amusing" reactions it got. I should know better 😬 😬 😬
 
Has your delivery date changed from end October to 02/11/21
mine has been updated.

Not that I know of, though I doubt my dealer would contact me to tell me - I got another week or so before my scheduled check in, be interesting to see if he pipes up before then with any news!
 
Hi all, first time poster on this site. Been around car forums for many years, from my Skoda Fabia vRS days onwards. I have ordered the i20N in polar white with the black roof, cannot wait. For me, the i20N is a real looker and I’m including the roof wing in that comment. There appears to be many comparisons with the Fiesta ST but for me there is no competition. Many reviews seem to favour the i20N as an overall package and for me the Fiesta ST just looks flabby and dated. Love or hate it, at least Hyundai have made the i20N look like what it is, a fast hatchback. Anyway, hi.
 
News for me today-
I received a copy of a 'contract to buy a new vehicle' from Hyundai for an i20N that I put a deposit down on late last year.

The car is performance blue and the total on-road cost is $36,400. I live in NSW in Australia.

My financial position has changed a bit in the last 10 months...I am thinking of either getting my deposit back or owning it for a few months and then selling it.

It was meant to be at my dealer's today but I have heard that it is just about to leave the factory for Australia.
 
Hi all, I'm trying to decide between the i30n DCT and an i20n to replace my GT86 as a daily driver, but having major issues finding a test drive for the i20. Would anyone recommend just having a test drive of the i20 n-line to get a feel for the platform and base a decision off that, or should I hold out for the real deal?

I assume a lot of the orders for the i20n have been made without even a test drive, but I can't bring myself to take the leap of faith!

I’ve taken a leap of faith, but that is based on EVERY single written and every single video review of the i20N saying that it handles like a dream, the chassis is first class and the driving position is nigh on perfect.
Usually I’d take a test drive, but when EVERY review is saying the same thing you’ve got to think that they can’t all be lying.
 
@Batty Where abouts in the UK are you?
In the Sheffield area, so no shortage of dealerships around, but every one I've called seems to have cars on order that have already sold before they've reached the premises.

Honestly, it's hard for me not to just order one based on the reviews, but the brain is still overriding the heart (for now).

Yeah I get it, 25k is a lot of money for something you haven’t tried yourself, but I just have faith that without exception the i20N’s handling/steering/seats/driving position and chassis have been complimented by 100% of the reviews to date. Based on that, for me it’s a no brainer.
 
@Batty I think Barnsley had a demo?
Officially dealerships aren’t having demos from what we were told but you can test drive in a few places. We test drove in Bristol and I think Worcester now has one possibly, and I’m sure I’d heard Barnsley were test driving.

I had them marked down on my list as not having one, but just gave them a ring and am booked in tomorrow for a test drive. I must have written them off by mistake, so thank you very much!

I'm replacing my 19 BRZ and had an 86 before that with an i20N. Have only sat in one so buying blind without test drive. I thought about the i30N but when reveiewers are saying its Hyundai's best drivers car now and with it being like an old skool hot hatch that swayed my chioce. Have been given so much grief by other 86,BRZ owners saying how can you go from a bespoke sports car to an FWD chav mobile with a torsion beam. I explained to them little do they know how much fun a light weight hot hatch can be..my old Clio 16v from back in the day was more fun than my current car by a long way...

As an ex GT86 owner I would agree the i20N will be probably be more fun on the public road,whereas the GT86 might be better for track days.
The Toyota/Subaru had many good points but I thought its new price was on the high side and it’s now showing it’s age ,the engine in particular was gutless in the mid range.
i don’t think you will regret the N….and far more practical too.
