    I've just bought one in New Zealand. I take delivery in Aug or Sept. White with black interior with red stitching. Super excited! Just paid the deposit this morning. I live in Queenstown, New Zealand... so heaps of winding mountain roads all around me. Can't wait! I've had a 2002 WRX for the past 21 years, which I bought new... I've loved that car and will still keep it... but I'm looking forward to making this my new favorite!

    It's absolutely worth it (for msrp). Sure it has some quirks and is missing some things (armrest) but all of that fades away when I drive this car how it's meant to be driven. Tons of fun in the mountain roads. Also, the i30n and the GRC are pretty evenly matched so good on Hyundai for making something affordable with performance.

    4:26 “Very fender-y.” My thoughts exactly. hahaha. Great review. I’m obsessed with this car so I’ve seen dozens of reviews. Repeatedly. This one was especially entertaining.

    fine with the smaller screen. I only need to have wireless apple carplay to pump some tunes and handle navigation through waze or google maps and the rest of the time I am just bangin gears or hooning around roads or tracks. picking mine up later this week.

    You lost me at praising the JBL speakers as some of the best speakers you’ve heard in such a small car.
    I had a GR Yaris Rallye, and it is well known that the JBL speakers are maybe a step or two above the standard unbranded jobbies you get in a base car.

    I reckon if they bring out the auto version it will have much more sales than just 700 but I personally think looks wise the i30 n is the new king of hot hatches

    I like it, it's quite understated, you have to take a closer look to see that it's a GR Corolla. Some things I don't like: plastics look cheap, and the piano black...they should have installed something in carbon fiber or something; forced to install ppf to protect.

    Your lucky your getting them as the uk isn’t, we do have the GR86 which is sold out but some used ones are being sold £10,000 more than list price. Is this any better than that car ?
    Love the Hyundai N cars but with them starting to discontinued them there won’t be many hot hatches left 😢

    Taps the diffuser at 5:11 and the whole thing moves, damn that looks cheaply constructed! The looks have already worn off on me with all the piano black plastic on the exterior and the front grill is nasty, lacking any real design imagination.
