Why I chose the Hyundai I30N over the BMW 128 Ti and VW Golf 8 GTI

Hey everyone, in this video, I'm going to share with you why I chose the Hyundai i30N over the VW Golf 8 GTI and BMW 128Ti.

First, let's talk about the VW Golf 8 GTI. The GTI has been a long-time favorite in the hot hatch segment, and the latest generation Golf 8 GTI offers a potent engine, agile handling, and a stylish exterior. However, after test driving the i30N, I found that it had a more engaging driving experience with sharper handling and a more responsive throttle. The i30N also has a more unique design that stands out from the crowd.

Next, let's talk about the BMW 128Ti. The 128Ti is a new entry into the hot hatch market, and it offers a powerful engine and BMW's signature driving dynamics. However, I found that the i30N offered better value for money with similar performance and features at a lower price point. Additionally, the i30N has a longer warranty and more standard features, making it a more practical choice for daily driving.

Overall, while the VW Golf 8 GTI and BMW 128Ti are both excellent cars, I ultimately chose the Hyundai i30N because it offered a more engaging driving experience, better value for money, and more standard features. If you're in the market for a hot hatch, I highly recommend giving the i30N a test drive. Thanks for watching, and please let me know in the comments which car you would choose and why.

The i30N is a great car, but most people won't admit that because they are brand loyal, especially the VW boys. Great choice 👍🏾

The i30N ticks all the boxes bro, excellent choice and those exhausts are the real deal 💥💥💥

[MichealDeAngelo]

Underrated car in terms of performance and price, especially with the Germans offering tons of "optional extras" which should be standard fitted these days. Good colour choice as well for the i30N. One thing that sold me at BMW was the aftersale customer service experience (although mine is for motorcycle, not car). If Hyundai is able to offer this then I think you've definitely got bang for your buck. Looking forward to seeing you on the road!

The i30N pretty much nails the hot hatch formula. Its fast and especially wild. Alot of other modern hot hatches have become way too "refined" or rather mute, especially the Golf 8 GTI. The 8 also still suffers from understeering (pretty much all VAGs have that problem), while you can smoothly kick out the rear on the i30N. It feels incredibly neutral while driving aswell, despite the typical hot hatch front heavy nature.

In Germany they tested a Golf 8 GTI, BMW 128 Ti, Ford Focus ST and I30N DCT FL against each other and the i30N won easily; the testers found the Golf and 128 Ti to be boring to drive, with the i30N miles above in fun factor and handling, aswell as the DCT being the best automatic transmission in the hot hatch sector.

My only gripe with the i30N is its weight; if they could shave off 50-60kg it would be perfect.

I definitely think you made a great choice considering particularly the German automobiles price inflations. The pipes are crazy though, love it💥💯

[setjhabamotsoahole]

Great video🔥 Ive been a fan of this car since Hyundai announced the pre facelift. But with this one they knocked it out the park. Great choice.

[sandiswashange]

Long live the i30. You made the best decision. Me, personally, I would rate the exterior of the GTI a 6. Reason being, they didn't put in any effort. I have to look twice to make sure it's not a Polo GTI. Back in the day it was easy to differentiate

[welele]

Wonderful choice. This is my dream car. Buying it as soon as I afford it :)

[musamathevula]

Hundred percent agree with you
The handyman not have the best handling but it's still number one

[ndabakashe]

You making me like the i30N Even more now....Great specs respect 👏

[scriptkidoh]

I30N to the world, this video proves the doubters wrong....Amazing Stuff grootman 🙌🏼

[JimmyKhoza]

Fair comparisons and damn that i30N is proper and sounding proper; i wouldn't worry much about fuel if it sounds that amazing. Do give us a detailed tour on the interior...

[billionbear]

Forget the cars, what a beautiful place to live! I have a BMW 128ti on order, only option I could get hold of without waiting 18 months!

[dsitum]

When comparing performance, you only considered engine power, and not how the car behaves on the road (steering, suspension, brakes, etc.) But nevertheless, you did the right choice. I'm sure that you won't be disappointed in how the car handles.

[lehlagaremogadime]

Dope review man. I was not a fan of the 2020 model coz it was manual, that DSG was always an advantage on the Golf and it was competing with the Golf 7 which I think looks better compared to 8. So for the fact that this comes in DCT and it doesn't have any extras, i'll say it's a perfect buy

[fdonjay]

I came to your video wanting to fight 🤣 but you made valid points. The pricing on a Golf is ridiculous... I had a 7 GTI, i thought everything came standard, kanti i bought a car with no xenon lights 🤣 didnt even know they had something called a 'Lighting Package' ... had to get aftermarket lights.

Anyway, great video.... love the car, but I'll stay with VAG 😁 that AWD life is nice

[dheeradjlachman]
