The Hyundai i20N is very nearly the best hot hatch of all, and it's good because it's not that powerful and not that fast !! With just over 200 horsepower, front wheel drive, a manual gearbox and limited slip differential it is just so much fun to throw down a B road !

My Peugeot 205 GTi 1.6 which I have always regretted trading in for a "sensible car" during 1990. It had the perfect balance of great performance, fantastic handling, cheap running costs and superb all round visibility.

Having had this car since November I agree with all said. Fuel economy on a long run for me is 52mpg. Awesome for a car of this type. One thing I got rid of was the tyres, horrendous wear rate, nearly bald at 6k miles, and since changing, the suspension and comfort have also improved . My overall avg is 41.2 mpg so far having done 6k miles mixed driving and speeds . All in all an awesome car !

@leehake3802 2 года назад

One of the best reviews I’ve seen for this car and I’ve watched most of them. I’ve had my i20N since May, same spec as the press car you had. Paid considerably less than £25k due to good deals that were about middle of last year. Puts a bigger smile on my face than my M240i did and that was an absolute weapon, you’d run out of road before it run out power. Astonishing value for money

@PetrolPed 2 года назад

@jwone10 2 года назад

@@PetrolPed the R was a fantastic car but with all the recalls, software updates that didn’t fix anything or made gremlins worse and dangerous fault where the car thought the speed limits were in kph instead of mph often automatically braking to do 70kph on a motorway or 40kph in a 40mph. It became a chore to drive wondering what wasn’t going to work every time I got in. From a driving perspective they are both similar in day to day useable power, as you said you can’t use the power of cars like the golf unless you’re either stupid or on a track. Great review by the way too! 👍

@Mark-fl1hg 2 года назад

@NY20N Месяц назад

I’ve had two ! 21 and 22 builds. The earlier versions suffer terribly from rev hang but this is removed with dealer software updates hand in hand with servicing. The cars sweet spot is over 25k mileage wise. After this sort of mileage they become a lot more free raving and the gear changes become far smoother the auto rev match can attempt to trigger on up shifts if you aren’t perfect during selecting the next gear during the break in period. Fuel return for me over 20000 miles averaged at 40mpg this is a mixture of hard B road driving and motorway commuting. You can realistically expect high 40s at motorway speeds. The claims of over 50mpg are possible at 55mph maximum. Common issues I’ve encountered are rattling mirror and camera surrounds these are easily fixed and condensation within the rear lights these were replaced under warranty in my case. Be sure to wash the car often in salt season as the wheel lacquer is terrible. The standard front pads are useless when driven hard a set of EBC yellow stuff pads will transform the car as the standards do not work from cold and suffer with heat soak when pushed. Yes it’s against warranty terms put fitting a GPF delete will greatly improve the emotion of the car sound wise which is not noticeable with the exhaust flap closed it also improves mid range pick up I have not had warranty issues for the record. Finally unlike most turbo charged vehicles this car makes the majority of its power top end of the RPM range helped with the over boost function so do not be afraid to rev this car hard ! You will rarely see 5th gear on a hard B road. Many thanks

@Mark-fl1hg 2 года назад

Thanks so much for this! I have to add to a previous comment and say that this is also for me the best review of the i20N, that I've seen on RU-vid (and I've also seen them all). Just the sort of content I was looking for - comprehensive, grounded and balanced and, thankfully not all revving and pops and bangs, that so many reviewers seem to think that's what this car is all about! I get my i20N this weekend and getting quite excited about it. From test drives I've had, it certainly seems a fun, 'spirited' drive and I think you hit the nail on the head, when you said about it not being that powerful and that fast, but feels it. Good also about fuel consumption with mixed driving styles - quite important I think when justifying this car for daily use. Thanks again - keep them coming!

Hello from Australia. This is about the 5th time I’ve watched this video now. I was lucky enough to get an order in for an i20n about 14 months ago! Today I got a call from dealer to say the car had arrived and it was sitting in a boat in quarantine in Melbourne. Apparently a bunch of quarantine issues with thousands of cars in quarantine. It could still be a while. I really hope the wait will be worth it. Thanks for the video mate.

@PetrolPed Год назад

That’s great to hear 👍

@i20nScot 2 года назад

The only thing I’d say is that, down a B road this thing IS fast. It doesn’t just feel it. Tune it a little and the bigger hot hatches that cost twice as much are going to be made to look silly.

@markhendry1 Год назад

As a 50 year old I agree with your trail of thought, with the price of my old favourites and cars I had in my teens/early 20’s being expensive now i have a Clio sport 200 which is superb and feels fast even when not going stupid speeds, I have an early Boxster which is feels more grown up but again not license loosing quick. These cars came on my radar a few months ago and will definitely be interested in a few years time when slightly dropped in price, 200bhp ish with a manual gearbox, that ticks the right boxes for me. Great review.

Also fiestas are known for the engine to fail, iv heard so many Ford fiestas fail lately so it’s put me off. A great video and I can’t wait to get this car.

5-Year Hayundai Warranty that also covers you for Track usage as standard! Try getting that on a Ford...

Seems like a great car from an objective point of view. Lots of kit, low-ish weight for a modern car. Good amount of power. Handles well. Great exhaust noise for a turbo. Unfortunately I just can’t help but feel disillusioned with modern hot hatches. You can hear the synthetic noise in the cabin. The turbo engine just seems a bit slow to respond with the heavy flywheel. I miss old NA and supercharged hatched with quick throttle response, real noise, short wheelbase and super agile. They seem to be a thing of the past 😢

@i20nScot 2 года назад

You think that but when you open the window what you were hearing is the same as it actually sounds. The i20n doesn’t really fake it. It’s loud for a mini hot hatch.

@nicklasselsmark886 Год назад

It's very easy to unplug/remove the fake sound. You can even unplug a fuse for it. But that also removes the passengers heated seat. But you can do it to test it without it. It's easy to completely remove it though. Just gotta remove the windshield wipers and some covers, then it's there to remove = no fake sound :D

Great car...when it is working. We're having an epidemic of i20N fuel pump failures in Australia which has left myself and an ever growing number of other i20N owners with no car and currently no idea when they will be fixed. Head on over to Hyundai i20N owners club Australia to see for yourself

Well of course the hot hatches I like (other then the focus RS which is just to expensive) aren’t offered in the USA! Definitely a shame. I would of bought one on your review alone Sir Pete! I really enjoy you hot hatch reviews! I’ve really enjoyed you back to reviewing cars again!

Loved the review. My i20n has done 6k miles, eco will easily do 60mpg at 60 mph. Track, high single figures 😎

Great road test, and where many tester never really give real world tests, you have ,mpg etc. AND, you answered to big question, better than a Fiesta ST, the leader .... maybe not any more?

Uh oh…!!! I blooming like that!! Maybe not an I30N Fastback replacement, but maybe a Abarth replacement..?? It certainly would put a smile on the McVitie’s faces either way. For info for the blue light affiliated or MOD employee Pedlers, Hyundia do very nice discounts on production of your work ID… I certainly got a good discount on my car back in 2020 👍

Great review , you convinced me to buy the very last one available here in Ireland today , prices in uk are way way cheaper than here , a metaiilc paint one here is € 43,000 that converts to £ 37,540

@Jo3yPropane 2 года назад

Weheey - finally! I remember asking when you were going to get one of these in for testing months ago! Had mine since January and it's been an absolute hoot. Turns a lot of heads and they are proper little unicorns... I've seen at least a dozen GR Yaris' doing my normal daily commute, but yet to see another i20N on the road in my 5k miles. Only gripe is the same and most owners - the god awful P-Zero's... Great in a 30°+ heatwave, but had a coupe of properly sketchy moments back in the winter (with both ends very suddenly giving up grip), and I'm about to have the front and rears swapped to eek a few more miles out of them, because apparently they are made of cheese. Best part? I only paid just over £23.5k for mine with Perf Blue paint and Bose upgrades. Don't think I'll ever buy another new car that will be worth more than I paid for it after 6 months hah.

@PetrolPed 2 года назад

Nice 👌

@relentlesspursuit6894 2 года назад

And why do you see more GR's on the road than i20 - because everyone wants a GR over an i20. You'll always lose grip in a FWD car, if you wanted grip in all conditions the GR Yaris was the car you should of gone for

@Jo3yPropane 2 года назад

@@relentlesspursuit6894 Oh fucking hell, you again... Nobody wants to indulge in your internet arguments dude. Your a Yaris fan, we get it, you don't need to jump to it's defense every time somebody dares compare it to something else (even if I wasn't talking about performance at all).

@SPQRTempus 2 года назад

I'm surprised you didn't mention the overboost function. 304nm is a lot of torque for such a light car.

Evening all... Great review and some car! It does look good and stands out and is away from the usual 'racer hatchbacks' eg Fiesta ST's! Your description of, 'its not that powerful or fast' but you feel you're going fast is just like and old Mini... You feel like you're doing 100mph at 30+ but you keep your licence for the same adrenaline rush! 👌🤓 I would also agree that cars around this price point, especially 'higher, sports' models have to reduce costs somewhere, hence the 'cheaper' plastics. All in all, an awesome car, especially 40+mpg, perfect daily for some weekend B-Road fun! 🙌

@@PetrolPed 1200 miles and a precautionary Oil Change later, what do I think of the i20N? In short, it's absolutely brilliant and the perfect car for me. It has as much performance as my old Lambo Jalpa had but can carry 5 people or goods (a bit like a van) and yet does double or triple the MPG without trying. It's as happy doing the school/shopping run as it is thrashing round a track. Loving it!! The acceleration/grip out of corners never ceases to amaze me. I recall an Autocar road test comment on the Fiat X1/9 by it's long term owner - I paraphrase: "If you're the kind of driver who'll overtake on the outside of a roundabout, you'll love the X1/9,". I used to own X1/9's and I was... The i20N is exactly the same. The marketing blurb isn't wrong - it's a "Cornering Rascal" for sure. I'm looking forward to many happy years of ownership!

@ThePedroDB Месяц назад

An update on MPG. Don't trust the trip computer! Last tank went at 29.9 MPG according to the trip computer, 27.8 MPG according to manual calculation. It's definitely good once the car is warmed up (I've seen an indicated 45+ MPG on longer local runs...) but it's easy to do sub-20 MPG on 'cold start' short runs..

Pete Great review the car is great for the money and petrol heads still need the small hot hatchback even though we are heading in to the new generation of electric vehicles but no combustion sound is a big loss to a petrol head admit it !

Another point to add is that this generation of cars are probably the last of hot hatches that employ ICEs. Next gen would be fully electric most likely

@davidmason1511 Год назад

OK, I've had a Getz then an i10 then Coupe 2ltr now a i20. They are all brilliant cars. The i20 is fine but a bit underpowered , I am definitely buying the i20 N , Huyundai are so reliable and well designed, a bit basic but at the price fantastic value . I've owned Lotus BMW Mini Mazda Triumph Vauxhall VW Ford none of them compare, I currently drive an MX5 NC and a Mini One 1600 . The Mini and the i20 will have to go and be replaced by the i20N . MX5 best ever 2 seater sport. If Hyundai made one I would buy one at the drop of a hat.
