Is The Hyundai i20N The ULTIMATE First Hot Hatch? 

Go on Adam lad!

Look's a serious downgrade on your previous 5 car's - what was the reasoning behind it?

@Relentless Pursuit I'll tell you something.....and I'm a Toyota employee, that builds the Corolla....so i know what the company philosphy is all about. But back to back....the I20N for me is the better car. The GR was mega when you were 'on it'.....but boring everywhere else.....and it doesn't look or feel like a £35k motor......thats why after 12 months of ownership I got rid. I lost hardly any money on it .....and purchased it as a 'long term' investment to enjoy......but as i got to grips with it.....for me it was lacking in any kind of theatre or drama..... If I had test drove the GR and the I20N back to back before purchase......I'd take the i20N all day long and saved myself £10k in the process. I liked my GR.....it made me smile....but I love this even more......grin factor is off the scale in the i20N.....and it has a lot more theatre, more drama, more of a motorsport 'feel', way more tech and kit as standard and also for me it feels more 'special' and an event to drive. It also gets way more attention in the Performance Blue than the GR in Pearlescent White ever did , even with the attached GA15ZOO private plate i got for it !! I'm not here to shoot the GR down it was great and its an epic car....but it just didn't cut it for me. Its arguably one of the best vehicles my employer' has ever designed and built.....and is the last of dying breed of cars entering the market. I refuse to buy into the 'electric' direction that seems to have overwhelmed 'joe public' with all the adverts on TV etc.....and am I to cars full stop. The BTCC is my favourite motorsport that I avidly follow. I'm happy I had one, and always look back with fondness when I see one out in the wild.....but have no regrets with the route I've took. 😉 If I had to rank my previous cars in order of favourites.....it would be as follows- 1. Audi TTS 2. BMW M140i & FK8 Civic Type R (tied) 3. Cupra290 4. GR Yaris The i20N for me, is up there with the TTS. Bang for buck....its hard to beat !

@@Jarededwards94 🤣🤣👍

@Adam Beaver the concept of the GR Yaris is clearly lost on you. You swapped it for a 5 door Hyundai I20 with a few bits stuck on and Blue paint. The GRY is something special, something you could keep and enjoy without really losing a penny. On track the GR wins, on the road the GR wins, infact in any comparison the GR wins, and by some considerable margin! From your list of 6 previous cars, I'd put the I20 at #6, with the TTS at #5. Putting a low powered FWD 5 door city car above some of your previous cars sure does seem odd. Something tells me you won't have the I20 for long!

You will love it, so many fun for so little (and not to strong) car - i have ca a year and i have more and more fun :)

You are very lucky to have only waited 6 months.

Have you pick up i20N? I wish You much fun for drive it.

Picking mine up in 3 days. I should know better at my age 😂

@@Ianrobinson981 Jealous! I'm 42, so I guess I'm going through a midlife crisis. Lol

They are really good but slightly overrated next to the Eagle f1s which are as good but cheaper. Hyundai only use the p zeros as they perform more consistently into a track day or longer thrash but of course most people won't use it to that extent to see the benefit plus they wear crazy quick. 😅

Do you drive it like this guy looking stupid like your going 200 mph when your really doing 40?

I was pulling on a facelift 2017 GTI in my MK8.5 ST

In real its sounds better :)

I read somewhere that even not using the PZero HN voids warranty. Admittedly there isn't much choice in 215/40/18 but I noticed this fella has Pilot 5's

Definitely this.

You tell me

Audi Rs3

A Focus RS. None of the rest power oversteer on demand or are anywhere near as fun.

@@tracktimevideos5164overpriced junk

@@philip244 said nobody that ever drove one.

S1 a very different car, far more capable than the I20. I'd take a 140 over the I20 any day

Swift Sport is a great little car but again, if the GR Yaris is in a different league to the i20N, so is the i20N vs. the Swift Sport. They can’t really be compared.

Agree, shame they are no longer going to be making them

😂😂😂No No No

Maybe cos you can get a cheaper one but these i20n are levels above a fiesta

@@jamielegg8553 not much in reality - I'd put them barely on a par with a Fiesta

@@relentlesspursuit6894 I’ve driven both from a non ‘fiesta fanboy’ perspective. The i20n is just so much better. Looks, tech, faster and sounds better. Keep they’re value better also. More warranty as well

Insurance............

Not everyone is comfortable letting a random guy on youtube drive their car.

He said he chooses not to before

No, fiesta is not good for a all day car - smaller trunk, not so good visibility (to back in fiesta you dont see anything), much smallerwing mirrors, onlu 3 cyl - i20N - 4 cylinders, i20N have better multimedia and more modes - inc. 2 customs modes

@@marekb3885 the fiesta pulls away from the I20 with only its 3cylinder

​@@ogloftus bit hard to pull ahead If it's slower. Only faster in the ½mile sprint or on the autobahn and costs more, offers less as an overall package and everyone has one. Obviously loses out in multiple other areas but this is RU-vid not a monthly shopping list. 😂

@@jamesbarnes8338 well that’s your opinion and I have one in 3dr with all options now worth more than I paid for it and have pulled away from i20’ns as well as many others

@@ogloftus a 1 litre cart is quicker than a focus rs if you let it. What's you're point? The i20n is faster. Swap drivers and you'd gap more than you did. Worth more? Most cars are. That's the used market recently if you hadn't noticed. Hardly specific to a 3 door fiesta. but hey must be my opinion. 🤣

Just a 🐑

@@relentlesspursuit6894 wrong

@@DigitalMan6627 what makes it a "wolf" ? - 200bhp, 5 doors, front wheel drive, 0-60 in 7 seconds Hyundai I20 - none of that says wolf!

@@relentlesspursuit6894 it does

@@DigitalMan6627 your idea of a "Wolf" must be very different to everyone else's then 😄. It's literally a 🐑

At almost twice the price XD

Price - 2x better on track, but for today, as daily car - i choose i20N

@Mgough1200 25k vs 34k is far from twice the price. When you compare the monthlies they were not that dissimilar on price

@@marekb3885 I wouldn't!

@@relentlesspursuit6894 I said almost, 9k is a heck of a lot nowadays! And your prices don't include all the optional extras as do all Hyundai cars. When you look at them like for like, the Hyundai gives way more bang for your buck unless you're only worried about 0-60 times :) I test-drove them both and while the Yaris was very impressive, just didn't sit right spending that much more money for effectively the same car with slightly better speed due to its 4wd system.

Not you again

Why are you so negative on every comment you make?

@@hampshirephoto he loves you really 🙄

@@hampshirephoto dale wants to give you his steel.

What do you drive then?
