Great vid Calv. I owned one of these for a 18 months. Incredible car, surprised me every day, sticks to the road at high speeds with that LSD, it’s quick enough to make you smile, and the noise never gets old. Hyundai got it right with this one
Got to admit I was not overly impressed with the numbers this car put out when I first saw it, but it's a car you definitely need to drive to appreciate. I ended up buying one and loving it for 2 years. I moved on with a promotion from work and got myself an m2. I'll always love the n30 though.
Absolutely love these , such a step in the right direction for the brand as performance was never something you would imagine getting with Hyundai . Great vid as always
Seeing as I've driven both the fk2 and i30n i can honestly say that its a great little car but the conering is nowhere near as confidence building as the civic and when stock the hyundai is not the same . But im not discrediting it as a good car because it is ,the fk2 is just on a whole different level
You have to take your hat off to think Honda had so many generations of Civic to hone the car to get that Type R to that level and Hyundai just rocked up with the N as it’s first proper hot hatch ( I don’t count the Veloster Turbo as a proper one and we didn’t get the Veloster N version). They definitely changed my opinion and it’s a shame they won’t really get to continue to build on the I30 as a proper Civic rival with it all going electric where it’s no sound, no emotion and one monotonous, gearless drive train.
@buck3366 i agree, although they do base their i30 chassis on the ford fiesta. both porsche and toyota are trying to make hydrogen/synthetic fuel in a combustion engine more cost-effective so the ICE isn't out of the game yet. The N vision gt i saw at goodwood festival of speed sounded fantastic as it has a hydrogen powered generator
Your enthusiasm is infectious ✌️ They are such great cars. I nearly had one as a company car back in 2018, was due to collect it 24hrs later and sadly Hyundai's finance conditions made my Boss uncomfortable so he pulled out. . .... Gutted. Got an M135I now and loving it, so not all bad eh 😂
@@maddisonwhitfield6157 20-30 mpg on my daily commute on mostly dual carriageways. But you defo don’t buy an i30N for fuel economy haha. Did some longer trips from Essex to Manchester for example takes about a tank and a half on a good run

At 7:20, the shot seems to clearly show a difference in paint between the rear bumper and the rest of the car. It’s super clear to see if watching in night shift mode on screen. Would this something that is being looked at when repairing the rear or not visible in person?
Not sure I’ve ever seen you so excited about a car Calv wicked car goona make a great bit of content with the repair process aswell fingers crossed I win this one 🤞🏻🤞🏻
You’ve set up the custom mode spot on there Cal, steering and suspension in normal but everything else in sport+ 👍 Basically Albert Biermann was responsible for the best BMW M division cars, then he went to Hyundai to start the N division. N standing for Nurburgring because that’s where they did a lot of development for the i30N, as well as Namyang (place in South Korea where Hyundai are based)
Im not realy a car guy ive just bought a Toyota prius 1.8 RS VVTI ESX ,Thats what the badges say on boot , the seller said its quick . 0 to 60 5.2 top speed limited to 155mph ,thats what the seller said to me . He said it dynoed at 365 bhp, not driven it yet ,he,s brinking it tomorrow .
The only comment on the brand is the lack of dealership support like you would a BMW as our car was in the garage for a month for a sensor and it came back so dirty burnt in tree sap on a mat finish so not great and not the first time,,but a great car
Be good to see you in an I20N they are supposed to be a proper little bit of kit. The only downside Ive heard with the I30N is they are shocking on fuel and the 8 speed DCT auto facelift is worse still surprisingly on the plus side it has got quicker changes and a slightly bigger turbo. An M140i with 2 more cylinders batters it for MPG, in fact that B58 is insane what it can get on a motorway run. Other than that though the I30N have always got a glowing review and I think they are great cars for the spec and price.
I've owned a M140i and currently own a I30N. There is no doubt that the B58 in the 140i is a masterpiece but the car and chassi isn't sorted. It feels nervous at 60% and with an open doff it's always trying to kill you. The 140i is much faster on a run, but the I30N would annihilate it in the twistys. The I30N has not been developed for rolling races it's a track focused road car that provides as much feedback as my previous Civic Type R FK2. I sold my Leon Cupra 290 for an I30N, and that tells you a lot.
@@mudguardrider8211 I’ve seen the track ability of the Hyundai and seen it was faster than an S3 ( 300ps) on a track test if I recall. The M140s have been constantly given negatives about it’s lack of LSD and floaty ride. I did look at a Championship Edition with the factory diff and hear that Birds suspension absolutely transforms the car into something far more capable.

@CalvinsCarDiary
You need to get an AMG A35 on that drag leader board.. im more than happy to bring mine down to you
Do you remember when I had mine calv? In the village, saw you at the bp and you wanted to have a go in one then, they’re made for the corners 👌🏼
@@lewisbuckingham8434yea mate I remember 👌

I like how when you put it into reverse the wing mirrors point down at the wheels to prevent curbing 👌🏻
Just like a bmw 👌
my 1999 bmw E38 does that its normal mirrors down ..
@@guy4469not all cars do it tho my 2020 Veloster N doesn’t so it’s just a cool feature to have probably bc it’s a US version.
@@CalvinsCarDiaryFairlady 350z had this in 2003.
My GS460 has this too 😬
Absolutely love these , such a step in the right direction for the brand as performance was never something you would imagine getting with Hyundai . Great vid as always
extending seats were factory in the Ford Series 1 RS turbo....they were circa 1985
Hyundai employed Albert Bierman the Head Bmw M division
The guy from Hitch?
this car is master peace engineered by German and Korean specialist you cant go wrong with it ,
Needs boot floor, gaps sorting and a proper colour match! Chris Slix just did a mad wide body build on his salvage i30 in the same colour!
Great cars these Calvin👌 just finished filming one myself
Looking forward to seeing your video 👌
Always wanted to have a go in one of these! Everyone says positive things about them. Definitely entered 😉
Nice video, noticed the rear bumper and boot are different colour to the rest of the car.
4:29 I love a bit of boot crumble…
Those crumble zones… 😂
:)
I've never heard anyone waffle as much as Calvin
12 mins until he actually drives it 😂
The high level brake light looks good.
Such a great little car looks really good and alot different to what's out there i really do like this car
Mine got stolen from my house and used in a robbery, truly miss my N. Loved it!
Big fan of those glad you finally got one on the channel 👏🏻👍🏼
The crackles on these come stock from factory, it's not something that's been added with the stage 1 map - ex hyundia salesman :D
8:07 series 2 Escorts RS Turbos used to do that in the 80’s
That car has so impressed me,nice one fella 👍😉💪
I really like that car never thought id want to have a hyundai

Why get rid then

Also it has a proper park lever so imagine the burnout it could be capable of.
Audi also does that little leg extension on the seats on their comfort/sport seats. :)

Those seat belts should have been blue or a blue stripe on them
I've never experienced rev matching? It sounds really good, but why is it something you don't like Calvin? Really want to know please!
Hi Calvin big fan of your Chanel keep up the great content I watch every video
You should do the launch control it’s pretty fun
My old Infiniti Q50 had the seat extenders as well.
The i30 looks cracking; but I would get that rear bumper colour mismatch sorted Calv?
Nice car, deffo want one at some point. Great video and content. Did the previous owner take the Volvo?
Developed by the ex-lead of BMW M, so understandable why it mimics BMW.
Lovely jubbly Calvin 👍🏻
Nice to see a Hyundai video liked the Kia one two really hoping you do one on a mg hs at some point really like these different cars
My Audi Q5 has seats that do that Calv 👍
it must be the ps5's 👐
Used to have a fastback version, good little cars, sound is unreal for a 2ltr 4 cylinder.
I've always liked these just never had the money to buy one.

Great little cars. How does it compare to the Focus St 2.3? Ever driver one?
My insignia does that seat thing also 😅
Who would buy a car of this guy 1%
You never tried launch control and don’t for get new they have a five year warranty
Shame you dont get the sedan version. Its way better. The dct smashes the type r
The facelift version has a bigger turbo
Would be a massive upgrade from my fiesta Ztech haha
Would the 20 to 70 not be better doing it rolling in first or second instead of wasting a lot of time wheel spinning.
Kia proceed gt 👀
I loved my 201bhp Kia Pro Ceed GT. 2014 model.
Great car for the money 👌
Hi calv how can I delete my account on pod?
Did you use launch control when doing 0-70?
Looks cool
Hi how are you doing
Why would you need the rev matching setting on the steering wheel 🤣
Early birds ❤🎉😂
What tyre shine do you guys use at the yard? My poor boys is dull compared
Dunno what calv uses but I used gummi by stjarnagloss, works on all the plastic trims too, cracking stuff👌🏼autoglym instant tyre dressing is good too
I don't think it's fair you did 5.82 in the civic on a damp road.

Gotta ask, why? 35-40k could get you a hell of a lot of the used market, get yourself a decent nick, not very old giulia quadrifoglio or m3 for that
@@dylanwakley2553 only 21 couldn’t get a feesable insurance. Mine was 28,5k 11k miles from Vw
Should’ve just bought a mk7 and spent the rest on stuff
Decent but for that price range, I personally would have gone for a F80 M3 or a RS3 saloon or C63 Amg even for the V8!
