HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 окт 2019
- The Hyundai i30 Fastback N is a nippy hot-hatch that rivals the iconic VW Golf GTI - despite being several grand cheaper! But does that smaller price tag mean it can still be as fun to drive as its competition? Join Mat Watson and find out!

I miss the "should I buy it should I avoid it etc" part... It is a classic like the 5 cool or annoying things..
He still does it. Just rather at random reviews I guess.
Check the fucking title..
@@caidee sorry if I touched a sensitive spot.. I love the channel for its videos not for the titles.. Normally I dont even read then.. See a Pic of a car I like and push start..
@@Gryphlol So it's your fault for not reading the title? Okay cool carry on
That's only on the in depth reviews..
"It's someones car so I don't really want to launch it" -> Launches it three times in a row
And fails to launch it properly 3 times in a row
yea, I think you are supposed to ride the clutch for a second untill car grips and clutch engages. Sure it does get little wear in the process, but you would have to make perhaps 100 of launches to casue some significant damage.
@@extracoolboy true. Although it was a demo so probably close to that anyway lol
@@extracoolboy plus you can adjust (and you really should, to match the grip you have or don't have on a particular tire/ surface/ temperature scenario) the rev limit for the launch, disable traction control and do it properly not just dumping the clutch and hope it sticks for f#$k sake...and the bar in the trunk is removable for that very reason of being able to slide stuff in but how often do you do that in a sporty car like that?!?!...I have the hatch version of the car but try not to be subjective about this but it seems he didn't actually checked the car in enough detail to make a proper informed review with correct info...and also seems he's just barely able to refrain himself from moking any of the cars under review...if you look through the series almost no car if any can impress this dude...really?!?! I see it as childish and arrogant...but hey that's just me.
@@marian-gabriel9518 I mean you wouldnt trust a reviwer if he or she blindly compliments products would you? You should be happy he is pointing out even the smallest flaw so the consumers dont have to find out themselves.
The only car reviewer that makes it fun watching the videos. Keep it up mate. IMO, you are the best in the job.

2:58 who doesn't want a straight knob?
Are you two a kind of "motoring channel comment team" or something?
@@barbarusbloodshed6347 Nah, I'm just a friendly neighbourhood spidey.
@A real bisexual petrol-head A straight knob is longer ya twit
@@barbarusbloodshed6347 Nah, they're a motorboating team😉
I´ve heard that a bent knob is more effective
Incredible value for a good looking practical high performance car with more standard kit than you can shake a stick at. The chassis is superbly set up for a fun experience.
i keep hearing Hi and Die, instead of Hyundai.
Hearing exactly the same. But yeah it's a Hyundai... So that's what you'll probably do in it :-p
Matt says is right, Google it. Americans think it is pronounced 'Hunday' which is totally wrong.
@@jase6709 it's hyun dai. Both of them are wrong.
@@jase6709 Both are wrong actually
@@jase6709 its hyoon-die actually.
Mat flooring the car - "I feel bad doing it.." - It's a former demo car. Flooring it is all this car knows.
muhahaha
We need this in the US.
*We need it now, Hyundai.*
scrap the veloster and bring the hatch version to usa
@@linusx77 Agreed, I don't give a shit about the Veloster. If I want a fun little car, I'm buying an MX-5.
Ok, that exhaust sounds pretty good for a "stock" one!
Love how effortlessly Mat said tjat thing about Audi, BMW and VW at 6:30
these reviews just keep on getting better ! loved it !
Just got the 2019 version of Hyundai i30n fastback with the Phantom Black color, looks and feels amazing!
Enjoy your beautiful car sir!
4:48 the strut brace is actually removable
so you lose rigidity. Great :/
@@MaximilianvonPinneberg i think it's removable only on occasions where you're going to need to fold down the seats
@@adriananzano2292 But every other manufacturer manages to engineer their cars without one. This just seems stupid and screams poor engineering.
@@MaximilianvonPinneberg the bar is optional and the car is stiff enough without it. It's just if someone wants the extra bit of rigidity.
Tim why would you even need that?
These look mega, your review of these has made me want one even more
The music at the end is fantastic!
Well done Matt with another good review!
Damn, I wish this was in the USA, I’d buy in a heartbeat
I’m from the US and I’ve been dying for you to review this
Hopefully we get it one day🤞
@@Alumnikiid hell will freeze over first, unfortunately

This is my most anticipated review ever.. It's about time.
love your car reviews videos...you're the best car reviewer on the internet
almost 3 million subs. i hope there's a special videos celebrating it later
I have the "boring" not-N version of the Fastback and it's still a fun car to drive, especially as a daily, I bet I'd be blown away to drive the N.
One of the best reviews I have seen. Great fun.
Damn mat, thought you knew how to drive a manual.
that exhaust tho hyundai makes one of the best sounding exhaust systems and engines
The preview subtitles read "I am Mat Watson from car wash..." 😅😅
Hahah my current fav car review channel. Keep it going guys
Damm Matt really got all the cars I like in his portfolio from this to a bently gt. Love it. Keep up the good work
I've come full circle, one of the first Carwow videos I watched was the i30N hatchback now its Fastback 💪🏾
When I see i30N with Matt
*Best video ever!*
I like the more light-hearted theme of this video :D
Felt alot less scripted, personally i like it alot, feels more organic ^^
You would get better 0-60 times if slipped the clutch a little bit on your launch. It's a small turbo engine, of course it's going to bog down if you just drop a 100% load on it
Yeah his driving was shite.
Without blood there is no life and without Jesus Blood no Eternal life. The Gospel is 1Corinthians15:1-4=Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the GOSPEL which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are SAVED, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, HOW THAT CHRIST DIED FOR OUR SINS ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES; AND THAT HE WAS BURIED, AND THAT HE ROSE AGAIN THE THIRD DAY ACCORDING TO THE SCRIPTURES. Ephesian 1:13=In whom ye also TRUSTED, after that ye heard the word of truth, the GOSPEL of your SALVATION: in whom also after that ye BELIEVED, ye were SEALED with that holy Spirit of promise. Ephesian 2:8-9=For by GRACE are ye SAVED through FAITH; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of WORKS, lest any man should boast. Romans 3:23-26=For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being JUSTIFIED FREELY by his GRACE through the REDEMPTION that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a PROPITIATION through FAITH in his BLOOD, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which BELIEVETH in Jesus. Without blood there is no life and without Jesus BLOOD no eternal life. ruclips.net/video/lbb4xwYj19g/видео.html Look up Robert Breaker on youtube.

Can’t wait for these to become even more better value & affordable in a few years through the beauty of depreciation!☺️
Heh, these are so expensive now it's crazy.
How did this guy buy almost new for 24k
Sadly for me it I feel like the value has risen 😢
Carwow is becoming an ICON...
HAPPY HALLOWEEN ⚘⚘⚘
Howdy, great review as always! I love this car!😸😻😸
I have a 2018 i30N hatch and I got the 19's as standard with the 275bhp performance version.
I think it's an awesome car and would not change it.
They upgraded the suspension for better grip. Thats the biggest change. It s the same car
I have the 2019 i30n hatch, just had a stage 2 map and bigger turbo and intercooler, 0-60 now is 4.7 secs 322bhp
I’ve been waiting for this for agessss. Nice one Mat
This is not the new version! The new one will have dct automatic transmission in 2020.
Yeah I know, I’m waiting for the new one to come out. I just meant for him to review the fastback n :)
I’ve owned one since March 2019 and I absolutely love it
Have you launched it? What time did you get?
yung Traxxlorrr I've managed a 5.7 in my hatchback
@@leweee that's awesome and it's pretty quick, I've had a 4.6 in my mom's GLA 45 AMG but that costs like double the Hyundai so its a pretty cool car for the price
yung Traxxlorrr I have launched it. Got 6.5 seconds with mine. I find the front tires always dig down. I can’t work out if it’s the car or just that the tires need more grip
@@MDWPlays nah it's not a tire problem, it's got enough grip it's just that it's front wheel drive and doesn't have the torque to overcome frictional forces that's why it bogs down. But the times scored by the Hyundai are still pretty good so I don't mind the bogging
I THOUGHT WOW 2 carwow videos in a day but no my ol’ friend youtube still recommending me to watch kia stinger video from last year
This is one of my best videos of mat in Carwow👍audicough bmwcough😂😂
You forgot one, or just mercedes fanboy 😬😁😁 Here, il help : merced*coughcough*
After owning a hatch version for 1year and a half i can say it still hasn't become boring. Smiles for miles. Also first upgrade that improved the car is the tires. Michelin PS4S tires just makes it better.
Matt: 3:00
Me: **Adjusts jeans**
Ooh yeah ;)
I just bought me 1 today exactly the same shadow grey which is so nice!!! 🤤🤤
Cant wait till is ready to be picked up next week..
You really have to hear those pops in real life, theres not 1 video that will come close to how loud and aggressive they are, it really sounds like a gun shot
Happy Holloween Mat and Carwow!
Hi Mat?
Watching from Kenya.
Happy Halloween.
6:30 Audi,BMW,Volkswagen
😆
nothing gets past you
coolredpen 😂😂😂
Thank you Sherlock for solving another mystery in 2019.
No way
You don’t say
I have driven the regular i30 and its a brilliant car; this must be insane.
I'm just dying for an i20N review from Matt
Korean sport models really have come a long way, I think the N models are some of the sportiest looking cars about atm.
I heard they stole head designer from BMW recently.
That was a first... getting a satisfied customer. :)
“Lucky there’s no one around to kick me in the ass”
Cameraman: *So you have chosen death*
best intro ever on a carwow vid
It reminds me or a mercedes somehow. Looks good though! Good job
I so want one of these 😍
I hope Hyundai brings this to the US. With the praise for the Veloster N and the Elantra GT N line it might make sense.
Happy Halloween anyone who celebrates it, but Matt, thanks my dream video finally, I love Hyundai.
The picture of the i30n hatchback is the one with 19" wheels, the 18" ones look different.
Hellooo Hyundai! Release this in the USA!!!!! Pleaseeeeee
I wish they would do that. Closest thing is elantra GT wagon.
You're lucky, I want the veloster N in the UK
Dan B nah veloster N is actually ugly in person and totally impractical ! I hate the three door design. Would rather have the i30N or i30n fastback
Dan B yeah the door is weird. I have to much OCD for the b pillar in different places.
I am surprised you can still get a hatchback over there.
I have Fastback i30 ... automatic 7 gears ... cool car ...it works perfect and I can say it is nice car ... far away how you Mat talks about it ... lol ... good car for good price !!
Thank you Matt!👌👍 I love this car.
Behold! The Brummie Alan Partridge :)
I wince every time he sticks his fingers in to a 12v socket!
Just bought this as an upgrade from a 2009 Mazda3, so excited to pick it up in 2 days
Yes, I also have a red stripe on my knob to check if it's straigt
My friend just bought a i30 hatchback and it's amazing. Now he's trolling me to buy one too...
Love it. Bring it to the USA.
Finaly, i got my i30n too..... and i really like it alot. Its amazing what Hyundai created there as a Series car and the exhaust is sooooo nice, couldnt belive That This is legal in Germany 😅 I hope they will create an awd 5 Zylinder With a automatic dsg System 🤩
Enjoyed the Colgate add👍
4:33 so joker used to review cars ?!
Very similar
Love the humour😂
I prefer the hatchback, though this fastback thing is quite a trend to follow atm~ 😎💪🏻
Mat...my favourite youtuber!!! And a good happy Halloween to mat and carwow friends!!!!!🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃
I’m so happy that we get to have cars like the i30N/Veloster N
Sad that they are a dying breed because of regulations
Not to mention that SUVs are what people want nowadays.
How are they a dying breed... 🤔
There are plenty of hot hatches out there still. If anything it's SUV's that are hurting enthusiasts cars like these. 🤷
SUV’s ain’t hurting anything, it’s what the people want
Eman M and there shit
@@hsvr My personal problem is that most of today's SUVs are lifted wagons and crossovers that probably could barely go over a gravel road.
Please do a review of the new Hyundai ioniq hybrid premium se
Love the jacket Mat!
Gonna treat myself to this car in this colour as soon as I pass probation at my new job.
So happy that we bought a hatchback in this colour last Saturday 🤤
I’d also add that we went through car wow and saved I think £2,500 or so with them!
Is it crap
Nathan nope, one of the best hatchbacks I’ve ever come across, goes beyond the RS A45 R. Sounds so nice and pulls round and out of corners so fast
@@williamtallant5981 I'd rather have a fiesta ST because i live in central London lol. But you have a solid point. It only has 3 cylinders and its still go 200 bhp😁😅
@@williamtallant5981 also you car is more value for money
5:26 LOL
How I wish we had a car like this come to the States!

You can remove the rear strut brace yourself btw
We could also remove the seatbelts by ourselves. But I assume belts and brace are there for safety reasons...
@@shinguin6233 You assume because youre an idiot. The brace is an option you can select when buying the car, not for safety but for stability in corners when driving sporty.
Its a gimmick, not vital to survive a crash.
dont talk if you have no idea
hyundai made it quite easy to remove the bar because they know it impedes practicability.
@@ptg_st3v3oh62 you are a very impolite person my friend with absolute no respect.
@@shinguin6233 You answered with cynicism and sarcasm, dont cry if you get served your attitude back.
PTG_St3v3oh how is it a gimmick?
I swear the person designing the current hyundai(s) was working for VW and Audi 🔥🔥🙆🏾♂️
That fastback is sweet, great in that colour... this may become an option when I come to change my car next year! What would the 0-60 be without launch control?
I must admit at this point i come here to have a good laugh with Matt and maybe see whats new...naw think its def cos of Matt
finaly i know what LSD stands for 🙌
Very surprised we don’t have the hatch version in the U.S. I would have much preferred it over the veloster.
that "bog down" at launch reminds me of a 1.6l 4cyl Kia Forte (Cerato) I once owned that had 122hp. the power & torque figures were more impressive than the live performances - in short, the car had very little power/torque available 'on demand'. I always had to patiently let the engine kinda spool up the power... it helps when quoting peak power and torque to also say at what engine rpm you get them - for instance, i'd rather have peak torque at 1,500rpm than at 6,200rpm. having said that, i'd buy this just for the appearance!
Hey Mat, great review! I am pretty sold on the Hyundai i30N Performance, however I am still not sure if I should get the Fastback or the Hatchback. It will probably be a year or so before I am able to afford it, so I am trying to make a decision by looking at all options in the mean time. So, is there any particular version you would recommend over the other? And if so, why? Cheers!
so which version did you go with in the end and are you liking it?
I have the hatch i30N and I did 5.8 seconds 0-100km/h.
Dont think the tyres on that car are doing too well considering temps in the uk are getting colder
@@C0DFR3AK11 it's true, the tyres are spinning a lot in launch control
How have you measured that?
@@MotoMario1 the car have a configuration that allows you to see the time you take to the speed you want.
@@marcelolopes4049 But the car doesn´t show you the exact speed. So the times aren´t exact eather. Car speedos are measuring up to 10% plus 4km/h (2.5 mph) higher to prevent you from speeding. Try it with a 10hz GPS like in this video. It will show you the real time your car need for 0-60 or what you want to see. Your 5.8 s time is worthless.
I didn't realise the i30N existed as a fastback, but I love it.
'Hyundai wanna check if their knob is straight had me in stitches'
"It only comes in manual" Wow, well done Hyundai. Saving the manual sports car. Never thought I'd say that!
Yes but its FWD
@@BoomChing FWD can be enjoyable (think about the Honda Civic Type R), so that's not really a deal-breaker.
@@halinea868 focus st as well
thank god. but why didnt they make it awd fkn so annoyinh lol
Actually, you're right, it's their fault (acceleration 0-60mph), because a lot of i30 N's doesn't have the power they should have (275PS performance versions). It's pretty common issue, not all cars are affected, but some of them are. And the worst thing is, Hyundai don't give AF. 😀
Wow! that look really good, beautiful car💪🏼. 👍🏼👌🏼😎
2020 Hyundai i30 Fastback N (Performance) model next time. 🤔
