The N30i was the lower powered variety unfortunately,so no performance pack. Shame on you Autocar.

The mapped I30N almost identical figures to my leon after it was mapped. The big question is whether the hyundai engine is strong enough... 

Long-termer Hyundai i30N

Plus many others in this sector. Focus RS mk3 used low mileage run out models. Or the new Focus ST 2018/19. Honda Type R GT model.....

 

But what will it cost at an equivalent base spec?

 

Not my favourite lot of reviewers or their mix for comparison .

 

 

Worth a punt if you'd like a hot hatch / fastback saloon.

Looks pretty good but at what price?

Great to see that Renault can do Hot Hatches for those not wanting a manual & are doing the Megane RS with the option of 2 pedals.  Something that Ford do not seem to bother with.

Unfortunately Ford's reputation recently with autoboxes is pretty rubbish,so don't expect anything in the very near future that is well developed /tested.

sounds like a great car, that's a great drive and that's what its all about but not for the top trump addicts,mines bigger,faster,more power,more torque,0-60 etc etc.

Super cool then, do not get the performance model with a bit more PS / Torque and quicker 0-62mph and tell everyone that that is quick enough for real life driving, 

actually too much but you liked how it looked, it is a bargain & you never go over the speed limits anyway.

Things got even brighter. In the meantime, I've been investigating these after chatting to an owner the other morning....

A Hot Hatch, not a Coupe / Sportscar or Sedan / Saloon Car.

Steve,

 

Would you have the auto? As they appear to have problem with those as well.
