Hyundai i30 Fastback N v Nurburgring 

It's the first time I believe that so much promotion for a car is what it deserves 100%.

Hyundai has really come along way and their cars are really good..

Stop giving this car praise, I don't want people knowing it's good, I want it to be rare when I get mine and I want it cheap, so don't want them to sell well, then hopefully I can get a deal at a trader.

Fun fact: it does 175mph without those glasses!

Steve is awesome, but big Kudos for the filming / editing team! Amazing work!!

I really appreciate seeing Evo content with you Steve. You are one of my favorite journalists. Please keep it coming!!

Your original Hatch review was the main reason I went to test drive an i30N and then subsequently bought one. Just such a brilliant car to drive on British A and B roads. This fastback looks nice but maybe one for the older crowd.

This is not the first video on the channel with this man and an i30N, and I think it's fair of me to say his clearly qualified enthusiasm had a hand in electing the car into my serious options, because he isn't the type to feign enthusiasm on most/all videos, not at all, so his attitude speaks a lot of the cars. I will add that, with automatic driving and other such amenities incoming in the medium-long term, these may be the last few years to get a sporty car in the sense that that has for many keen drivers.

The most discussed Hot Hatchback is done by Hyundai - And it's not the most powerful one, actually far from it. Isn't that mystical? This car really seems to have a soul.

I got a N. Its Nmazing

A beautiful view, car and professional driver.

Funny how 10years ago owning this brand of car would've been embarrassing, how times have changed 👏 well done 👌

I drove rhe ring 1 month ago in my Mustang GT (manual of course) and it was a crazy fun experience 👍😉

Awesome!!! All!!! The video. The journalist (thanks Steve for how you transmite the thrill of driving). The stage. Thank you!!

take the car make 425 miles at 168mph to go, have a fun on one of the hardest circuit in thr world, and back at home... in a hyundai. Well done naamiaangg's men. P.S. I love that fastback's line!

more Sutcliffe please....

OH...MY...GOSH! I was watching the section showing the cars speedo with my mouth open! 168mph... I can't believe it.

Thanks again Steve. Thanks again

so beautifully presented, great job sir!

Lovely video, thanks!

Kia and Hyundai have really improved

I have the hatch! It's a machine!!!

Recent Hyundai and Kia do very well. Cool.

Please do more reviews on the ring!

Really enjoyed that video! And the best bit is I VE GOT ONE!😉

Waiting for the Elantra N to come to the US. Really impressed with your fastback. Top speed is nuts!

It is so my number on dream to drive on the Nordschleife! One day!

Great combo of long journey, normal roads, autobahn high speed and Nurburgring. Nice one.

Nice car the i30 FB, got to see one coming back from Wales and thought it look like an interesting RS3!

I really wish this car was available in the US!!

Lovely machine. Wish they would bring it to the U.S.

I remember a looooong time ago my moms friend had a Hyundai Elantra man I hated riding in that car small and no power we got gapped at every light 😂😂😂 had her foot to floor tryin to get up to speed but now look at Hyundai they gettin it done.

The paradise on earth 👌

This should be lol... Good😂 Nearly 170mph in a Hyundai ummmmm WTD🦆 times have changed✔️😂

With an i30, you get performance and handling one step higher than its price class, stylishness and visible quality one step below. It is the C segment's Fiesta ST. Wish a Mini you get stylishness and visible quality one step higher than its price, handling and performance one step down its price class. All cars that manage to stay in the market make sense, what you have to understand is which make more, less, or no sense for you personally. With a Golf (GTI) you have a balanced situation: performance, handling, interior refinement (which includes things like how effective the air conditioning system is, sound quality, and so forth) are all on the same level. The car's averageness makes it a sales blockbuster (which success in turn feeds itself, 'cause people like to imitate the majority), as well as a wrong choice for enthusiasts. I wish there was more technical debate, and less insults thrown in the comments: it's simply about accepting diversity of mind, in fact instead than in words only.

Amazing car

envy you. long waiting list for the FB N.....

I can not believe you put those glasses on and thought “Yes, yes these are definitely the ones”

Hyundai please listen. Bring this to the US and I will buy it.

Needs to come to America

Jeez the brochure says 155mph and that made me think, well if it can do it effortlessly then great,.......... 175! Amazing car at an amazing price.

That’s a fcking 270 km/h 😳

11:11 it is the scariest track not because of the track itself... but because of the people that drive on it !

Surprised to see you run it in sport+ damping (N mode) I've talked with a former ring instructor and he said normal damping setting would be his choice at the Ring. Only UK track that suits full N damping is pan flat Silverstone.

"Got it in N because we're on the Nurburgring after all." Yes! But let's not forget the N is for the Namyang circuit in Korea.

Would have been so easy just to stick up a basic GPS app on your phone for a more accurate speed reading: it would have a margin of error of anything between 5-10%, meaning a genuine speed of between 150-160. Still blindingly fast (and not just for a Hyundai either!), but would have at least neutralised any inaccuracies from the speedo.

After the 2nd round the steering wheel keeps shaking while braking

Hi can I ask how it compares to FK8 Type R ? Is the Type R worth the extra considering both but can get much better deal on I30N. 👍

Steve are you wearing a Tissot heritage limited edition in rose gold?

So what was your time???!!! I don’t think we are getting it here in the States. We got the Veloster N though. Lots of great reviews over it.

Bring this car to the US @hyundai

Evo has a real Hyundai kick going...

Thought it was spud from train spotting with them glasses

Really wish Hyundai would sell us the I30N as an Elantra GT-N or something in the US. It's nicer and more useful than the Veloster which appeals to those of us who sometimes must carry more than 2 adults.

If only the Ioniq looked that cool :/

Was that a real tz2 at 12' 05" or a replica??

I wish we start getting all of these good cars in India........

Stuart - you said twice in the first five minutes that you could feel the differential "doing its stuff", but what is that? What can you feel?

Makes me want to RUSH right out and buy one. Hyundai is in a class by itself right now with their bang for buck and their warranty. I hope they keeping pushing the n lines to the point where there is an n variant for every vehicle the way there is for the German automakers.

I wish Hyundai would ditch the Veloster N here in North America and sell the i30 N instead.

The fastback looks like a hatchback /suv / saloon hybrid, i like it tough 😅

Can they put this supple suspension setup in the hatchback? Really don’t like the fastback ducktail rear. love the i30N and would genuinely consider one to replace my current car

SCHWOIDEN KROITZ... Oh my god, that pronunciation.

Impressive 170mph....dang beautiful car too😎😎😎

"A bit tasty amongst the eyefull mountains "

Crazy hyundai

Would I be stupid to change my Alfa Romeo Giulia Veloce for one of these now they are available in auto??

The greatest 12.9 miles of race track in the world 😬. Curiously, how many 12.9 mile race tracks are there in the world 🤔

I just wanted 12 min video about Hyundai. 🤔

And then.... 2L of oil and valves chiming like Christmas song. True history. But thumbs up to the review.

Surprised its limited to 168mph....A little Tune eh!!!!

So, those glasses? Did you lose a bet, or.....?

He got the goggels from ruben in ocean's 11

The sunglasses.....

I think Hyundai and KIA should partnership. Both Korean both make good cars

Stock Hyundai doing 168mph... faster than genesis!?

Is this a Hyundai channel

But really only 190 down to Schwedenkreuz? I did that in my Fiat Argenta :)

i30N Developed on the Nurburgring... Sat Nav doesn’t have Nurburgring! haha!

many people talk about a car they do not know.First try it on track and then give its opinion! I drove with on the most beautiful track in the world: Spa Francorchamps (see my video)

Why doesn’t America get this

Really like the i30N... Awesome effort by Hyundai. Is it so hard to put a GPS or something in there to check what the actual speed was on the autobahn?

Holy shit mr sutcliffe , what is going on with those Gregories ? Never seen anything like them 😂😂😂

Hmmm...seems like hyundai have upped the power on their press car. none of the others have broken 150moh

Not much is known about the durability of the I30N engine, or how much development went into it to keep it from blowing up after 70k miles. Time will tell.

those sunglasses are a tad too British

Auf welcher deutschen Autobahn haben sie denn die Aufnahmen gemacht. Kein Auto weit und breit . Bei uns kann man froh sein wenn man die 100 km erreicht.

funny prounanciation!

충격) 한국에 안파는 한국차가 있다?!?!

You should have tried the wipers on the autobahn. Poor motors can’t cope.

Why?

Wanna show this to my friend that bitches over the old Veloster xd

grandma's glasses

Feels more like an advert for the car rather than a review.

Frontwheeldrive is frontwheeldrive but rearwheeldrive is more fun..

hundai sucker

Heck of a lot of Hyundai videos. Paid promotion then.

This is a bit gushy. Is this an advert?

SCHWEUDENKREUTZ

Sutcliffe always feels like he's trying to seduce me during the voice over bits. Unsure how I feel about it, but the wife doesn't seem to be complaining about the unexpected manual stick shifting since watching.
