Living with the Hyundai i30N Fastback [400 Mile Road Trip] 

Fastback all the way. Have a great birthday Mr Petrol Ped.

Very cute and sweet having a road trip with both cute schnauzers. Great review!

I like this kind of videos of yours. It's like a subtle review but doesn't drown you with details... Just fun drivin and how fun it is to drive. It's what's important anyways.

nice video! just got mine and it is as good as it is reviewed.

Hi Peter, Belated Happy Birthday mate! 🎂🥂 Drives as well as it looks then...! Nice to meet Mum. Glad there were no in-car incidents on the journey. Look forward to the full review. All the best from up here on the Wirral.

Hyundai have come a long way since the very basic cars of the early 2000's. Looks like a very capable car for everyday use.One thing I've learnt from this vlog, is you can get seat belts for dogs and how well behaved were they. Whenever I've had one in the car they have gone mental and thought it was a good idea to walk backwards and forwards to the front seats !.

Happy belated Birthday Peter. Your mum is so lovely and those pooches are super cute! I’m still undecided on the fastback, I’d have to see it in the metal.

Have you checked the Closed Captions? :D „Welcome to Petra pet...!“ How fitting with the dogs. ;) Keep up the good videos. I like you bringing in some normal life!

Perfect review... I super intrested in the Hyundai i30 n Fastback. PS i have had my dogs in a leech in the car sins i got them som 10 years ago works perfekt. Wouldn’t have it anyway else.

Hi Ped Belated birthday greetings, and good to see Mumma Petrol Ped again. Coming back to cars prefer the look of the Fastback, hope there is a de badge option if buying new. Appreciate this was not a car review, just as well as Petrol Pooch & Petrol Pooch stole the show🤗🤗🤗🤗

What a great looking car, if the i30N couldn't get any better! Agree with the badging, I'd remove the i30N badge, it's too large and fussy.

Had mine exactly a week now in the shadow grey colour, and had so many positive comments, not only about how it looks but people impressed with the quality and look of the interior. Had several ‘is that really a Hyundai’ queries 😆 absolutely love it to drive and the exhaust note is epic 👍🏼 great vid btw, keep it up 👌🏼

Hi Peter, your the double of your mum fella. As for the car well its a great little car I do like the shape its very Mercedes at the rear and Happy Birthday Peter x

That is a breath of fresh air in a stagnant sector of the market.

Happy birthday, hope you’re having/had a good one! Petrol pup has certainly grown a lot since you got her, still cute as anything though. For me I’d still opt for the hatchback over the fastback as I just prefer a hatch. I’m really interested in the i20N that’s supposed to be coming out next year, my budget might stretch to one of those!

Great video. Good to see a real world test and in different conditions. I must admit it does look and sound good. Great to see Petrol Pouch & Pup and I'm glad Petrol Pup did well in the front seat.

Momma PP, you are looking very well. Great to see your mum again pal.

Another great video showing realistic use of the I30N Fastback. Happy Birthday, I also had mine recently and a big one.

I brought the hatch in May this year. Amazing car. I'd probably have the fastback if I could... but the wife is small and she wanted a small car... im 6"5. So I got the hatch. Yes the motorway drone can be tiresome, but if you're doing a long journey like that (i drove London to Nottingham last weekend. Stick it in eco and the drone goes away. Being in eco you can get 40-45. But as you say, that's not why you buy a hot hatch. Best I got was 41mpg (because I had my dad in the car). In the Hatch i can get 45 liters in and a range of 330. I've also let it go below ZERO (not recommended, the suspense was killing me) I was a couple of miles from my local Tesco where the fuel is 3p cheaper, since this car is meant to be driven for fun, every penny counts because you will be filling up a lot 🤣. The axle tramping in the hatch is really bad. I might have to do something to fix that.... People say that putting the Michelin PS 4 tyres on make quite a bit of difference to axle tramp in the hatch. Worth investigating do you think? Great road trip, thoroughly enjoy your content as always. Keep up the good work 👍🏻

Personally prefer the hatchback, but both look real tidy

Fast back all the way for me it looks sleek,elegant,clean and fast.😎

Happy birthday mate! Always enjoy your vids. Great to see the Petro-Pup, what a great dispositon she has.:)

Great vid again,I lean to the affordable car reviews tho,the dogs were a great addition,normal driving conditions,real world stats,cracking 👍 Prefer this to the hatchback

VERY VERY VERY MANY MANY MANY MORE HAPPY RETURNS OF THE DAY, PED 🌠🌠🌠🌠🌠

For me needs de badged , all trace of N removed where possible perhaps a rear wiper would have to check blind spots rear quarter

"184 miles, 3 hours. I'm sure i can beat that"....... Thats a familiar thought... SatNav times are there to be challenged

I love this fastback shape! 10y ago hatch most definitely now days I prefer blending into the background Un noticed while the kids sleep in the back lol what's odd is the 35mpg ish, on this kind of journey my 340i will push 40 without trying to be economical

Alright Pete, happy birthday mate. Hope Saturday was a great day, looking forward to seeing that video 👍🏁

Loving the Fastback, love at first sight it was :). Not sure the budget can stretch so looking at a Cooper S and know you love both of them.

Happy birthday Peter. Your right the fastback is better only spoiled by too many badges. Look forward to the full review . Watching in a hotel in Paris for work. Looks like I will be working on Notre Dame next year. French GP this weekend .

Good video mate, like you said younger people will like the hatch more but people over 30s will prob prefer the fastback and that's what I'll be going for when my pcp is up on my kuga because I need a car that's practical but also I need something a bit fun from time to time.

Its a 50ltr tank btw, and if you run the fuel gauge dead on the empty line your still have 7ltrs in reserves and about 40 more miles, essentially when the car tells you at 20miles to fill up you really have 60 miles ish. So not that dire really. Im in N mode all the time.... rarely do i see 30mpg unless on motorways and in eco. 24mpg is my average, and im a confident pacy driver that enjoys a quick car that i use when its appropriate. Im a 34 yr old man with a Mrs and 3 kids.

Agree with you on the badges, far too busy! Great video as usual sir and happy birthday🎉

Great video again nice to see Petrol Pup and Petrol pooch... now I understand why pup was in the front ... travel sickness not great

Could easily go for this car, tho I`m A Rwd fanatic really.The Fastback is stylish, but being an (old girl) racer I would still choose the Hatch. As for the tramping, torque steer etc, that can all be eliminated by feeding the power more progressively. As I learnt with my Scooby. Not trying to preach to the converted, as I know you drive the car from a viewer`s perspective, Ped. Love the Petrol pooches... they are so good, hey, and no vomit to clean up, !! Look forward to your review of this car soon...

If Mama PP wasn't so far from me, I'd have happily watered her garden for her :) Agreed re the badging at the back.

Well Pete, been following you for years and didn`t realise you share the same June 18th birthday as me mate 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Gemini birth signs Strengths: Gentle, affectionate, curious, adaptable, ability to learn quickly and exchange ideas Weaknesses: Nervous, inconsistent, indecisive !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Peter for a first attempt at a hot hot hatch Hyundai has almost hit the bullseye, just a few areas to improve on. It's a good looking thing, personally I prefer the hatch and fortunately for you you didn't have drive with the Windows down trying to flush away the dog sick smell. Well done petrol pooch. Regards Simon.

Aww, great to see the pups riding shotgun, fast asleep! But it may be down to the individual cars that Petrol Pup has ridden in. Some animals react badly to an ultrasonically squeaking brake disk that we can't hear.

Nice 1 PP! Exactly the info I needed to assist before a purchase of one of these...

I know you're not in Aussie but any aerodynamic benefit is largely offset by the hot climate. However, all edification of i30's are sold alongside & include the Hyundai Elantra (from 2020 sols as the i30 sedan, which is largely the i30 sold as a sedan (saloon) & suits people who like 'American vibe', as well as the i30Fastback which maybe suits people who imagine themselves as a 'more upmarket crowd'. And re the rear badging, it varies on different markets, but on your car, the rear is a case of 'less is more'.

Cars and dogs are a fantastic combination!

Happy Birthday!! Hope it was a good one. All the best.

Happy Birthday Peter!! That Hyundai sounds like a real world nice car...not too much image but a car that rewards by being good at what matters. I agree that it looks more upmarket than the hatchback but both are good...a car to add to the possibilities list when friends ask advice! P.S. guess how much Shell V Power is on the M20 leaving Dover..168.9pl..😱😱😱😱😨😨😀😀😀

Love the car and agree it’s better looking than the hatch. Following a motorcycle accident I’m restricted to the higher SUV style car and I can now only drive automatics so I’m very envious. And don’t get me going about lorries at 56mph being overtaken by lorries doing 56.01mph. In my opinion it should be banned between the hours of 1am and midnight (cue irate lorry drivers)

I found my old 16 plate leon cupra 290 could be liable to tramp when wet. I just put it down to the diff and so much power been thrown at the front wheels

I own one and went to Scottish performance car show a week ago and I got 45.1mpg over 60 miles and it was going up to be fair I was just cruise in. But what a car a proper jekyll and Hyde hatchback

Michelin PS4’s tyres pretty much solved the axle tramp issue, other have also done torque mount bush and said it’s completely gone, also happy birthday and I drove to Cornwall in eco mode and got 42mpg

A wee bit late... but anyway.. Happy Birthday Young Mr Petrol Ped!🎉🎉🎉😎

Im going for a test drive today in about 4hrs time, ill be trying out the hatchback which is a better car size for me n im sooo excited! If i like it itll be my 1st ever hyundai car

Looks a really nice car. Look forward to the full review. My two JRs wouldn't have behaved as well as your two....!

I would've loved a direct comparison in video when you switch from custom to just normal or even eco. I wonder how big the sound difference is.

Beautiful looking car Peter. Those wheels don’t half set it off. 👌

So back end looks like Porsche and the style of the "Hatchback" badge also looks like Porsche. Petrol same here in America on commercial 18wheels no longer have good road etiquette. @ 19:43 Petrol Pup nice pose....

I wish I got 35 mpg out of my R53 cooper s, 24 mpg on a good day lol.

I know I mentioned this before Pete !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! but I still reckon that Mrs Petrol Ped ( wearing a helmet of course in order to hide her anonymity ) could do a nought - 60 quicker than you from a standing start mate 👌👌👌 Take that as a challenge for any future vids mate ( Girl Power Rules ) 💖💖💖💖💖💖

I'm picking up my new i30n fastback tomorrow from hyundai Hereford

Give it an auto box and remove that daft looking ducktail from the rear and put on a "proper" spoiler and it'd be a better car for me. But I do like the fast back style car over the hatch. Still waiting for Mumma PP's war memories video :-))... And a belated Happy B'day old fella :-))...

As a hatch owner I prefer the hatch but I like the fastback in white

Happy Birthday Pete !

Pretty lil pooch’n’pup.

Great vid PP!! I prefer the hatchback, will get one soon!!!!!

Great review. Prefer the fast back style but did have a VW CC and considering an Arteon to pair with my Tiguan. Fuel consumption seems on par with Leon Cupra (67 plate) I ran for 6 months , though i30 interior looks better materials if a little down on Leon usability , which to be fair is usual VAG ,style. Nice car. For our to retrievers and two terriers a 2013 Mondeo Titanium X sport estate was ideal .They were more than happy on trips to Cornwall and up to Inverness. Current Tig allspace not so generous boot size.

MPG on mine took a noticeable jump once the car went through 7k miles. Couple of trips from South Devon to Biggin Hill area and back averaged a measured 35.7 mpg. N Custom used on the fun bits (and the overtaking opportunities on the A303!), and mostly Normal or the odd stint of Eco on the dull bits (M3, M25, etc). Don't see the point of having a car with such readily switchable personalities, just to leave it in Hoon mode all the time, and then suffer unwanted noise when behaving. It's (relative) Jekyll & Hyde character was what swung it for me in the end. Quite a few owners have reported significant reduction in axle tramp once they ditched the P Zeroes. Doubt I'll replace them like-for-like when the time comes. Lovely pooches - ironically, the mate I stay with when over towards the Big Smoke has the twin of Petrol Pooch!

Wanted a Fastback but found the vision out of the back terrible so hatch ordered and found it a better drive. To remove axle tramp just a stiffer dog bone mount bush for £30 solves it

Hello fella. Right, I’ll start working my way through my backlog. Colour suits it. All I can think of is what you have now, R8 lol.

Very nice trip a d i like the Hyundai i30N the Best Hothatch choice for me!! Thanks for the video sir!

Are you sure that axle trumping isn't just a wheel spin? I haven't own a fwd in 7 year but as i remember accelerating felt shaky if wheels started to spin, i don't know if you can test it from stand still because of the launch control but clutchkick in first gear should definitely do. Could you please review the sound system and other non driving tech because non of the reviews on youtube is showing anything about the infotainment system unless it goes through custom driving modes

That car would look great in black. 🙂

I already drove 1.y Fastback - classic, 7 DCT ... with complete equipment ... and I can just said it is awesome ! N version is for most normal roads ok...maybe to high, but on other hand too expensive with all the grants to the state ... and we have like others just 5 year guarantees (:

Great review mate , thanks for that .and I think k I will get it .I am in two minds ,or the Seat Leon Fr or the 30min Fastback .what would you recommend and why ?thanks from Tenerife ....

in response to your who drives in economy mode in that car well apparently a sales rep from crewe Hyundai went in today and they told me about him never turns the exhaust on get's 30 plus mpg wow they told me this car did 8.4 mpg around the nuro race track but great vid

Looking forward to the full review!! Was it on P Zero's like the hatch..? Might explain the axel tramping..

Have you ever driven this car? Looks like a more discreet version of your forthcoming GP model. Perhaps you can test them in same video?

Love the fast back shape! Does sound like a lot of tyre noise too. What tyres come stock on them?

was hoping you would roadtrip the fastback n ...:)

Good review man... I'm in the market for the hatch 😍

Fastback definitely looks better. I've never got more than 33mpg out of mine (measured brim to brim) but considering that I usually drive it like I stole it that's not bad. Mine also doesn't axle tramp unless driven with no mechanical sympathy whatsoever... 😉

Definitely the hatchback 🚗 is what fancy me.

How do you distinguish between something being "easy" versus "super easy"????. The suspension on these cars is the weak part...if Comfort Mode did actually go somewhere towards comfort the car would be a winner...I'm guessing they will tame that on future models.

I’d always go for hatch as always function over form for a tin top. Have you got any merc content coming yet ?

Why quite a few people on the internet are hating Hyundai that badly..?

Looks like a merc at the back? Did u put vpower in it? Would still rather have a mk2 focus rs and put the rest of the cash into modifications.

Great looking Car! More importantly when will MummaPed Merch be available 😂😂😂

Aw happy birthday bud 👍

I'm from keyworth too it's a small world 🌎

In the hatch video you complained about the seats a bit, are these a newer style?

I currently have the civic sport 1.5, but am considering one of these. Is it really much of an upgrade or should I just stick with what I have and be happy?

i'm sure I can beat that time, good old satnav game lol :)

Wish this was coming to the US - the Veloster is just too weird.

Enjoyed that, great car

Hello I have seen you advanced driving video and I was wondering what the iam stance is on adaptive cruise control and blind spot monitoring

Lovely car, but I get 62mpg average out of my Golf 1.4 TSI on a long run. I’ve never understood the lorry overtaking issue either, they are governed to a specific speed as you said.

Definitely the hatch for me, more like the WRC car lol. I'm still a boy racer at heart just got an old body!

Hi mate your not from keyworth Nottingham as that estate looks familiar I'm born and bred in Nottingham

Ah, a fellow left handed Gemini! Congratulations👍

We have two black Miniature Schnauzers Eric and Ernie

Hyundai 🙆‍♂️👍🙌

Gangsta dogs. Hahaha hugs my friend

I’m sorry mate but the fast back has failed the dog practically test! No room for a crate and by looking at the space my two labs would get their heads crushed by the boot! Hot hatches are meant to carry dogs in the boot.
