Thanks for the review. Just bought one of these a week ago. Driving it using the paddle shifters is like playing an arcade game, only a lot more fun. Getting it coated tomorrow, which will hopefully make it easier to clean.

I've had mine for 3 weeks now and absolutely love it. Went with the Premium DCT just because and this thing makes me smile every time I drive it.
I was so close to ordering a Focus ST3, but soooo happy with my choice. Money well spent.

I saw this video and I went out and bought one. Hyundai should pay you a kickback brah.

I like how Hyundai haven't deviated from what made the i30 N special in the first place (apart from the price increase). My 2019 N-Line is looking a little bit more jealous of his bigger bro now.

Great review mate..I would love for you to do a review on the Manual too!

[RossReviewsau]

im looking forward to reviewing this car! i loved the previous i30N with the manual.. the exhaust note is perfect.. still kinda want to manual tho

[Mitch.Weber.]

Great review. I love your authenticity and the fun you have while driving. Nicely balanced by pointing out some of the faults. I’m definitely super keen to get one of these someday. I love my standard I30 as it is… but geez this car looks incredible

[Anthonyfenechfanclub]

Great review... the autheniticy of it sold me. Can't wait to order this beast!

[shaneveldhuis]

Today I purchased a hyundai i30n premium. Now it's a waiting game now to live the dream with this car

[Truthfulnerd]

I really like this review, and can't wait for the new series.

I REALLY hope that Android Auto wireless will be enabled in a OTA update for this car, it boggles my mind that the more expensive infotainment system doesnt have it, while the standard one does.

One of my fav car reviewers thanks Matt!

[essendon]

I tried all the hot hatches and really liked this. Pretty fast in a straight line and quite playful. Didn't end up buying it though. As far as driving on winding country roads the Focus ST just pipped it. The handling of the ST is just amazing, ford have created a remarkable chassis once again. Crazy good!

[rickigloo]

Love your review. Out of all i30 yt channel reviews yours rocks! Ty

[seatpaul]

Great review. I am due to pick up my i30N performance next weekend yay!!!

[krakenofficial]

I was looking at the i20 but haven't driven manual before so leaning towards this even though the price is considerably higher. Unsure if it's worth getting a manual when I'll be mainly doing city driving.

[semyon]

No longer a bargain but still a great car, keep up the good reviews Matt.

[Vakushka]

Great review! I own the DCT myself and zero regrets, does it all.

[zampah]

been waiting for this video all day! Love it, can't wait to order mine
Keep up the good work!
