      @@siphotheyise2954 great question! I think it boils down to one simple thing - Hyundai don’t market their cars well here in South Africa. Many people don’t know what alternatives there are and end up following the herd and buying the cars they know rather than trusting another brand. That’s why I make it my responsibility to make others see that there are alternatives, BETTER alternatives in some cases, that are out there. 🙏🏾

      That is very true! That is why VW has such a big following in SA. But there are newcomers and with the Mk8 being the last ever GTI/R, people will want other options so Hyundai/BMW/Honda have a great chance to make a statement. Their marketing is just so poor!

      I have to agree, the marketing is very poor from Hyundai. People don’t know they have another option when it comes to choosing a hothatch. Regarding the 128ti vs the i30N, I’d take the i30N. Slightly more power, and less complicated interior, bigger sunroof. But it all depends on what you’re looking for - a better looking interior or simpler interior and faster package. Can’t overlook the 7 year warranty either!

    I wouldn't pick a Hyundai I30N over a GR Corolla or Civic Type R at that price point. The Golf R is much pricier and belongs to a higher category, and the GTI just doesn't have enough power. Although the I30N is aesthetically pleasing, it's not enough to sway someone with brand preferences like mine. 😅

    • @kratos9223
      @kratos9223 Před 5 měsíci

      ​@@avuazahc1966 The 3-cylinder engine in the GR Corolla, boasting a 224kW output, is more powerful than the i30N's 206kW, despite having one fewer cylinder. The Type R is even more powerful with 228kW. While the Civic might only seat four, carrying five people in a performance car is rare, as the middle seat in hatchbacks is rarely practical. Additionally, the Type R's handling is significantly superior, and the GR Corolla benefits from AWD. I personally can't justify spending the amount required for a GR Corolla or Type R on a Hyundai, especially when considering heritage and reliability.
