Nice to see what my car is going to look like. I pre-ordered the Dark Knight colour in manual premium w/ sunroof. Hope you're having a blast in your N.
Was trying to find some videos of the i30N, did not expect to find one exactly where I live haha. I was like damn that carpark looks familiar, oh wait thats my gyms carpark haha. What a random coincidence.
how are you living with the clutch ? I tested one of these recently and the clutch was the only thing I didn't like coming from a series of older manual cars. Didn't have a lot of time with it so maybe you get used to it but it felt very vague and delayed. There was no real bite point feel and you could basically just dump it and it would let itself out for an "ok" change but I really enjoy the nerdy mastery of manual cars and I think I would miss the joy of a perfect shift.
Yeah the clutch is a bit weird at first. It feels like it sticks out further then normal. When you release it you can stall it easy if you aren't careful. But after 3 weeks of owning it I'm completely used to it and don't notice now. So it's just one of those things you need to get used to!
Just put my deposit down for the shadow grey N today. It looks so fun to drive from this clip; so stoked to get mine. It’s just annoying that there’s a four-six month wait time.
Awesome mate, you'll love it! Yeah the wait sucks. I did get lucky though and got mine straight away! I do have another POV drive on my channel if you want to see more :)
Hello, what about headlights? From video their performance seems poor. I am looking forward to order this car.. but it seems like KIA has its headlights level above.
Looks mint. Picking up mine tomorrow! I saw in another comment that you'd replaced the bulbs with LEDs. Stupid question, but how did you know which weren't LEDs and what to replace with?!
Oh congrats! You'll love it! :) It's only the rear indicators and reverse lights that aren't LED. You can easily tell because the bulbs are halogen. Super easy to change, I definitely recommend it. LED are a lot brighter and look better in my opinion!
@@DetForte I'll give it a shot! I'm in UK, but how do I know what I'm looking for to replace?! Really excited to pick it up. Coming from a Mk 7 GTI so hoping it'll be a nice change and hopefully an upgrade!
@@andrewfinkelsteintennis1915 Realised I missed your first question. Yes it's stock exhaust. Yeah Kona N is nice, digital dash is cool as well. I guess the i30N is more track ready and more raw to drive. Kona would be a little more tame but still amazing
@@DetForte have you considered any other car? I'm thinking about A35 AMG or this I30N fastback :) and can't decide. I'm from Poland and we I have no sunroof and no blind spot and I'm wondering if I can order one in Germany for lease.
@@mateuszszostek6400 I personally haven't, I've always wanted the i30N. The AMG 35 would be a nice car but costs a lot more to buy and maintain. I don't think you get the same fun factor driving wise as well. The i30N is more loud, raw and just fun to drive, where I don't think you get that with the AMG. But everyone has different tastes! I'd deffs test drive them both and decide then. I do prefer the hatch personally but the fastback is still sexy!!
@@javieralvarez563 Interior is nice but honestly it's pretty basic, it has everything you need especially if you get the premium version. But if I were to compare it to the Golf, the Golf would win with quality materials and comfort for sure. But I wouldn't let that put you off buying it. It's an amazing car and a lot of fun!
@@DetForte thanks a lot for the response! I think the Hyundai Is way more fun to Drive than the golf... But less confortable maybe? I think im gonna buy the manual versión too.. i LOVE It
Depends where you live. I'm in Australia, QLD. Mine was 47K drive away. If you are looking at the DCT you'd pay a fair bit more, think they're around 51 - 55K
@@DetForte the fact is smaller and lighter. and a proper track/rally inspired car. reminds me of the hot hatches from the 90s. and probably one if not the last of its kind
Yeah it's my daily. Look it's not to bad but also not amazing. I mean it's a performance car so it's quite a firm ride even in normal mode. The sport seats really hug you so on long trips you do get a bit sore (well I do anyway) fuel isn't amazing.. but with all that been said once you wack it into N mode for some fun it's totally worth it haha
@@DetForte that's the reason I sold mine..the ride was way too firm on our bad roads.(the Normal' mode should be softer!..).and the fuel was a little too much for daily (normal) use for going to work.. and I didn't really like the Blue performance colour i had chosen.(but though..sometimes I miss that awesome car..would be perfect as a second car if you have the money).Now i own the Hyundai Ioniq Hybride.. ;)

Good to see a Manual facelift video. Would like to to see some more exhaust clips!
I will try and film some more clips!
Pls do a pure Sound exhaust Video!

glad 2c u got the manual a proper drivers car!!!! more fun and control!!!
Not normally a fan of grey, but I have to say on that car, and in that lighting, that looks awesome 👌
It's a gorgeous, throaty beast

Awesome sounds!
Hello, what about headlights? From video their performance seems poor. I am looking forward to order this car.. but it seems like KIA has its headlights level above.
They aren't to bad but nothing special. You can adjust the height of them with a dial inside the car.
Soon i get one to but i dont can decide between the DCT and the Manual
Is the newer version more tuner friendly because I know the older versions turbo was the bottneck for the beast that could have been?
From what I've heard yeah they're more tuner friendly
Sad to say that UK spec doesn't have sunroof 😔😔
Nice,is this I30N totally stock?I had the 2020-version..
Yes its stock
You had changed all LED interior and licence plate... not stock one... have you change the sunvisor to led and glove box too???cool colour
License plate and most of interior came LED already stock. I only changed the boot/trunk, reverse and indicators to LED.
No didn't do sunvisor yet!
Was hoping you would rip it around the hiway so i would see the full acceleration haha but good to see you are more responsible driver than me 😅
Does this car have a GPF in your country?
Even with OPF in Germany it is still very loud, trust me. I heard it in real life and it sounds better than a Golf GTI
No it doesn't have one

Great car. This still has automatic rev match when you downshift??
Yes rev match's for you on the downshift
Great car! Is that a stock exhaust, it sounds very good!? And is there any synthetic engine sound pumped into the cabin?
Thanks bro! Honestly I'm not 100% sure? I don't think there is!

Trust me the manual pops and bangs all the time! Not sure about the dct but I imagine they would be pretty similar.

Don’t the constant pops and crackles become annoying? I’m considering buying it but damn, it’s a bit too much?
Can easily be turned off if you don't like it

Yeah I replaced the stock indicators to LED myself

There aren't any pops when the car is in normal mode or eco mode.
@@DetForte nice, thanks
Hello, i have a question, What was the average fuel consumption ?
My average has been 11.7l/100km but that's because I drive it in N custom mode most times

You can customise it however you want. If you don't like the popping you can easily turn it off.
