Just to help you out Jim the dct does 0-62 in 5.4 ,and also you can get over 52 mpg if you cruise at 57 mph in 8th gear ,I have achieved this over a 50 mile trip on the m3 motorway ,most reviewers get so much wrong about these cars but it is understandable as they dont live with them ever day ,good vid m8
I used to have the manual version, my profile pic is my white I30N, absolutely loved that car, best I've ever had and prob will ever have. So underated.
As I understand it Jim, the i30N's handling was developed on that fancy German race track, the Turdbergring or whatever they call it. And I did hear a whisper that Hyundai's N series cars are breathed on and tweaked by the guy who used to work for BMW's M division..
great video. i love my i30n. people will turn their nose up because it doesn't have a star or 4 rings on the front of it, but thats part of the fun of them. no one expects the performance or the sound to come out of them, only those that really know their cars and have driven one understand it. wouldnt change it for anything (unless they made an estate version 😂)
I had the 1st gen, and I can confirm out of many cars I've driven, it quite literally ate them up for dinner and s*!t them out 🤣 Such a blast! I can only imagine how good the face-lift is 😍 I'm more into the idea of owning an i20N next. The i30N is a car that "if you know...then you know" never judge a book by its cover....or a car by its badge lol.
Loved this video, you nailed it explaining the purpose of these truly exciting cars👏👏👏 I've got the i20n and it's an absolute joy to climb into every day🚀🚀🚀
Thanks Claudia, I'll give it a couple of months and try to get an i20N in for review. By all accounts they are possibly better than the i30N but I have to see it to believe it. Thanks for watching and commenting, Jim.
Looks just like the one I have in white, except mine is manual. I think the steering wheel controls are brilliant. My only gripe is that the mirror controls on the driver's door are not lit at night. I use mine as a daily driver and for running errands for the business. You are right about fuel economy, urban and suburban style driving. I get around 20mpg but its such juvenile fun making it pop and bang, you will be smiling as you hand over your card to pay for fuel. I absolutely bloody love mine!
That smile on your face though 😅 come on I know you’ve felt 20 years younger driving with all that pops and bangs around town! Only joking. Very nice car, I’ve literally seen one 2 days ago, and it was an undercover police car. In a gorgeous shiny black colour
@@Buck3366 😂😂😂 I think you left this comment on a day I had launched Kia Sportage review and several were commenting on the MPG so I answered it as if it were a comment about the Sportage like an idiot. I’m extremely unprofessional but know this one is FWD 😂👍👍
@@ianhartley6253 Well it's the only Peugeot I had, so I can't really do otherwise can I? Different or not, I won't be having another. I wouldn't have any French car. Or Italian come to that.
