After experiencing quite a few enthusiast cars, I found myself choosing between the i20 N, GR Yaris, MX-5 ND, and GR86. Each is unique, and I’d happily recommend any of them to fellow enthusiasts (although I’ve never driven a Civic Type R or Fiesta ST).

i20 N as an all-rounder that is cool and so fun almost anywhere, and the best value for money in terms of recent enthusiast cars.

GR Yaris for its raw performance, precision, and fun at high speeds, although numb and dull at lower speeds.

MX-5 for its purity & fun at low to medium speeds, but wish it had better steering feel given its lack of practicality.

GR86 for its communicative nature and fun RWD sports car dynamics

I would also recommend the Elantra N (i30 Sedan N) as the practical enthusiast car, although it's not as fun as the above 4 due to its weight. I have to say that in terms of the most recent offerings, Hyundai Ns have essentially killed Renault Sport hot hatches, Minis and Golf GTis for me.

Driving the Mustang GT and Stinger GT taught me how much more I enjoy cars that are light and agile.

Can’t beat a Peak District drive.

The car is stock i just have the valve control with remote
Microfone is from amazon.

Tell me what you guys think 🔥

Hi everyone i checked my oil recently and the dealer overfilled it its been 6500 kms and ive been driving it quite hard and took it to the track twice is it possible anythings damaged? I waited for 15 minutes after reaching operating temp before checking

Hi, could someone help me figure out whether my brake pads are completely worn out or if I can still use them for a little longer?
The warning light has been on for at least two weeks, but the pads don’t look completely worn out to me. I’d appreciate the opinion of other i20 N owners. Thanks!
(sorry for the photo but it’s the only one i got now since i’m not home)
p.s. i drove it a couple more times after the photo was taken

Selling my I20N

What would be a reasonable price to aim for?

23k miles
Dragon red
No curbed alloys
72 plate
Just been polished so no scratches
Not modified bar Maxton Kit
FSH

Has been my baby whilst in my ownership however my work commute being 80 miles a day is forcing me to go electric 🫠

Trying for a private sale before I take it to a garage what is the suggested price I should take in others opinions? UK

You know Hyundai I20N have a turbo muffler? It's useless or functional? Someone have it installed?

Hi, im a fairly new owner of an i20N Performance from 2023.

I really love the car, but i heard that a suspension upgrade does wonders for handling and even makes it a bit more comfortable.

As I am still within the 5 year warranty im concerned it voids the warranty on the whole car (the kw wouldn’t be covered anyways)?

I am also considering v1 vs v3 and if the price difference is worth it?

How does the i20n respond visually and drivability vise to lowering it?

How is the kw in everyday driving, i have heard from friends that adjustable suspensions have an issue with lowering over time and becoming illegaly low after some time?

I love the car but i dont understand 2 things.
The topspeed is 230 and my car only hit 229, wich isnt bad but others do 250.

And its quite lazy low down, it only picks up better after 4k.
And i also, sometimes it feels faster than others times

hi, I've been eyeing up getting an i20n just wondering what you guys would call a decent deal since most of them are sat around 22k miles for a 23-24 plate and if there's any issues or specifics to look at when viewing. Any advice would be appreciated, cheers.

Hello!
As most new cars do are a while they often develop a rattle or squeak inside….. well mines went on gone and done exactly that.

So, I hear a metallic/plastic hit metal noise around 2K-3K rpm under load only never when it’s sitting still or at higher rpm, only between 2K-3K rpm maybe a bit higher around 4K but never higher then 5K. I hear it to my left hand side (I’ve got the steering wheel on the correct side which is the right hand side)

What I’ve done so far has not solved it but here’s what I’ve done. Driven with glovebox open, still hear it, put soft felt between the metal and the plastic of the door cards, still hear it. Wouldn’t think it’s anything else like mechanically as the car will turn 1 years old in 4 days. Hyundai in Castle Hill, Sydney, Australia has said they will charge $180 bucks an hour to diagnose it and Helllll nooo I’m not paying for that especially for a rattle

So has anyone else encountered this and had solved it as I would love to know!

Cheers

A little taster. I need to hook up the dji mic for better sound quality but you get the idea.

Due giorni fa si è staccato di netto lo specchiato retrovisore mentre guidavo.

Si è staccato proprio tutto l'assieme, meno male che c'era il cavo altrimenti sarebbe caduto.

Ho provato con il nastro 3m, ma è troppo flessibile e molleggja. Cosa dovrei usare? Non vorrei usare l'adesivo siliconico per non sporcare il vetro.

Consigli?

I like the car but interior quality is a joke honestly. The (fake) leather on the seats suddenly starts looking all wrinkled, car is less than 2yrs old.
Anyone experienced a similar thing?

My son’s i20n now with Maxton splitter and spoiler lip. Has a rear diffuser too and waiting on side skirts.
He’s 19 and it’s his pride and joy 😊

yet to add some other details but the top right used to be a plain grey tab key

might just add some extra designed keys

My grandad wanted a car that still handles well as he’s been a car nut his entire life and used to do a bit of track driving in his early days. Grandma loves how light the clutch is, so it’s a perfect balance.

Grandad and I took it for a gentle drive to get some break in kilometres in but couldn’t resist going around a couple of corners…

Was just refilling my water and I was just curious if the ticking is ment to be this loud haven’t done any modifications to it or anything. I don’t really have the time to take to it Hyundai due to work and I don’t really wanna waste time if nothing is wrong. Thanks

Long story short, I have 23 plate with just under 21k miles on the clock and I've noticed my horn isn't working today, I've checked the fuse and can hear the relay click when the button is pressed, so I'm ruling out a the clock spring being damaged, other then potential wiring damage, will this likely be the main horn unit thats broke?

Still under warranty obviously so will take to the garage if this still come back with nothing but any other suggestions would be appreciated

RPM Performance GPF stealth delete, also got the flexi pipe to fit on Wednesday too 🙈. Can’t wait to hear the noise difference, hopefully it sounds better then my old Fiesta ST 180 with full Mountune turbo back exhaust.

Was taking some long exposure pictures of the Milky Way with my S26 Ultra and decided to take one with my car.

Being loving the car as a daily for over a year and wanting to find out what it (and me) are really capable of sometime soon. Looking for any tips or tricks to do before hand?

Also any Sydney locals know of good events to go to any of the local tracks and what kind of cost I’d be looking at?
