    What I like about this car is here in the UK nobody has a clue how good it is, have had mine for 6 months and haven't seen another one, that's another thing I like not being one of the crowd, great revue by the way your enthusiasm is infectious.

    There are so many people waiting to sell the i30 N in the US right now.
    I don't know why, but Hyundai is not selling the i30 N in the US.
    There are a lot of people who like manual gear cars who don't like two or three doors, and I know that many people are waiting for the i30 N.
    I am also one of the people who have been waiting for a car to enter America since a few years ago.
    If this car enters the US, I will buy it too.

    I have an 09 WRX hatch, which just got a knock from uncle rodney, and I've been tossing up whether or not I should replace the motor, get another used car, or get my first brand new car.
    This is the first new car I've seen that has made me smile.

      hopefully you got a new STI or wrx, i have one of these and im disappointed. very hard to live with day to day and when going for a fast drive its not that fun anyway as there is just too much grip for public roads and for it to be fun you have to be going above 120Kph on a track and really pushing otherwise its quite dull to drive other than the sound. best care is a 86 or mx5 if you don't have kids, or a Golf R/S3 or WRX/Sti if you do

    Old video but great review. Have you heard anything regards the 21/22 i30N ? Seems to have gone very quiet regards a series 2 N cass. I am very concerned with the new body shaping from Hyundai which is not appealing to me at all. I am hoping the next generation i30N will not launch until 2022 with a body shope of its own, AWD and 8 speed WET DCT dialed in similar to the Mercedes AMG gearbox. If Hyundai do this they are going to own the performance market in Australia as bang for buck it is unmatched when you compare against the European cars.

    I understand that the car drives great and sounds great, but what the heck is all this drama about this farting from exhaust?
