Where have all the hungry i20 N 'owners' of late '21 gone

[PCPHeros]

As a very frequent observer of the forum, but not then a joiner, I used to marvel, and yes, find amusing, the food fight of starry eyed anticipation, arguing, dealer updates etc as i20 N deliveries were kind of staggered due to the then chip shortage. This of course was late '21, into '22.
Many of those don't seem to be posting at all now. So why is that?
Hopefully it isn't another PCP thing when a joiner/poster is all-in and in sweet shop-like excitement at the prospect of 'their' new car, only for the novelty to wear off soon after, and now maybe on another car's forum, i.e, the 'latest' financed car, signing the virtues of that one over there? Maybe the dream car they went on and on and on and on about has now been binned ('handed back') and out of both sight and mind?
So where are they all?

Many were bought by young men who subsequently discovered that spending the majority of ones disposable income on car payments and insurance was not a fiscally wise, or maintainable, idea.

lol. Yes, I can remember one originally from Auz (but living here/UK) getting into all sorts of arguments. Posting all the time. Chuffed as chips when he/she landed it. For some 'miraculous' reason, don't post anymore...
There were shed loads similar if I recall.

getting the car and doing a flurry of initial mods then slows down when they run out of money for easy mods.
if your car remains mostly stock and not doing trackdays or other meetups then theres less to talk about.

I'm disappointed that the Australian subforum here is quiet. i get most of my local updates and chatter from a FB group.
I'm still planning some mods and like seeing others. i'm older and am hanging onto this car for a long time though.

Yes, there is less to post about as time goes on, while (hopefully) nothing new goes wrong.

For myself, it is also taking a while to fully adapt to the i20N, and its various modes, and to learn to more automatically move between these modes and combinations appropriately on the fly - which is still an ongoing process; partly because I only need to drive it 2 or 3 times a week.

I still look forward to going for each drive in it, even if I don't currently have much need to post.

It is still interesting to keep up with others posts though.

Or less to post once the PCP car gets 'handed back' and the once greatest car in the world, whom no one could say a bad word about, becomes yesterday's news as the latest 'greatest PCP car ever' rides into town.

What is there left to post about once multiple ‘gone through tyres in 9000 miles what to buy next?’ and ‘juddering when on lock, is my car dead’ posts have all been done to a death?

i20Ns held their value pretty well, so a lot of people shifted them. It made more sense to do that than keep them for a good few people.

Absolutely Emma spot on,many of the original 21 crew got huge discounts on their i20n and were able to shift them on easily for a tasty profit,it‘s Just a car after all and money talks..

I don't know. You've manged it for 7 or so years.

At one point you could make money selling them, it was madness!

I guess, but not posting anything new. Just dip in and out more to see how the OG N owners are, but I think most have fallen off the radar.

Done brilliantly with all my N’s +2k on the 20 and +4K on the 30
Even the last one got way over book. Unfortunately the overs game is now well over.

Anyone find it's sort of odd for a brand new account is posting about this? Must be someone's alt account lol

Did you trade in your N and realise that the cheaper alternative is not as fun and came here to try and put people down
