RS would have been the only Ford I'd ever bought. Too sad it was discontinued.Dang it, I wish FORD would bring the RS back to the US.
My wife had a Ford a few years ago, good on paper but the reality was shocking quality everywhere, hose clips going rusty in less than a year, it exuded a complete air of cheapness.I voted Maybe because I like testing and living with various brands and their "sporty products"
After a couple of BMWs, I bought an Abarth, then the i30N.
For a next model, an i20N or a KonaN would -yes- be nice, but in this case I would opt for a ford ST model (fiesta, focus, puma) just for the experience of it. And after the ford, I'd go for another brand and so on as long as I can afford it
You could say that about any company to be fair, all have horror stories of some sort, are you telling me Hyundai have never had quality issues with any of there models over the years?My wife had a Ford a few years ago, good on paper but the reality was shocking quality everywhere, hose clips going rusty in less than a year, it exuded a complete air of cheapness.
I'm not telling you anything, just recounted my personal experience of Ford vehicles.You could say that about any company to be fair, all have horror stories of some sort, are you telling me Hyundai have never had quality issues with any of there models over the years?
Yeah, but you have to break down what this "reliability" actually means. How many N performance cars have been driven longen that 10 Years? In the meantime you have tons of other brands performance cars going way over 10, 15, even 20 years.Hyundai have a good reliability record in Europe. Perhaps not so good in the USA.
Many Hyundai’s more than 10 years old. I see them on the road daily, the N hasn’t been around 10 years and we will just have to wait and see.Yeah, but you have to break down what this "reliability" actually means.

Off Topic / is this the normal standard anti rust protection under the plastic covers?

Do you any good dealerships in the North near Preston which are good and not doing people overI don't plan on getting another one as I am a person who drives a car as long as the TÜV shuts the car down.
But if I were in the position to look for a new car, I would consider a Hyundai again, yes. Mainly because I know the right dealerships to go to and I've had zero issues with my current N.
Sorry mate I live in the wrong countryDo you any good dealerships in the North near Preston which are good and not doing people over
I don’t have any loyalty to Hyundai so if they don’t give me what I want in 2/3 years then it’s a no. If they do, then it’s a yes.
Ditto - heavy leaning to not buying one though haha
Why would you think the i20N is for the younger demographic only?I wouldn’t imagine they’ll be the car we want, come that time, but you never know. I’m now nearly 3.5 years into the N brand and, based on what’s out there right now, there’s nothing that remotely gets me interested.
That’s not a bad thing.
I’d love to see the I20N really take off as it would be great for a younger demographic to be involved in greater numbers.

Golf R?..Not many younger teens/adults can afford that one, thats even too expensive for me..Not only. but to see the likes of younger folk catching onto the i20N like a Fiesta ST or a Golf R does with younger teens/adults - I think that's the angle croco is going for.

Well all my family lives in Cardiff and when I’m back I see heaps of FiSTs and GTIs driven by the younger crowd, not many Golf R tho? They’d have to be on a pretty good wedge to afford them, especially with these MK8 Golfs, which are seriously expensive..You'd be surprised how popular and common they are in the UK with younger teens and adults!
