I mean yeah... They really should watch their words when being sponsored by a certain company to promote their cars lol. The i20 N Line isn't that bad tho, the full packaging of it is really neat and tidy. Doesn't feel as slow as you might expect, the 1.0 liter turbocharged engine still is stronger than most 1.0 out there (I have 0.9 turbo Renault Clio with 90HP). Still no sportscar by any means but isn't too far off from being a fun hatch to drive even on track. i20N definitely is the winner by all means, and even if I strongly believe in faster drivers in slower cars, theres so much more power to the i20N that the regular i20 couldn't even really compete against.

That turbo 1.0 is pretty zippy! The i20 N line, while far from "fast", is also far from slow. The chassis is great, it handles really well!

@@royliber3824 as much as I dislike Hyundai, i must say that the i20 is actually a pretty decent car. I'm driving a built E46 328Ci, wide and sticky tires, suspension, strut bars, stabilizers etc etc and 247hp. Driving on my favourite back road one day and had an i20 in front of me. Dude drove like a fucking madman, i honestly had trouble keeping up with that thing in the corners. He carried so much speed through the turns, while I had to keep my fucking rear under control and the E46 is a great handling car, especially on the setup i got, if I may add. Blew my mind, really.

Absolutely love this channel. Have for years but my word gents, the production / editing quality with the genuine personality the three of you have is truly next level. Giving TV a serious run for its money
Let's just agree that Ethan is the real star of this channel!
I love that everyone is using Llandow now, since it means we can compare all the reviewers against each other ☺ Alex is about 2s slower than Steve Sutcliffe in the i20N, incidentally! That's not awful to be honest- Mat Watson in a 992 GT3 was slower than Steve in a Civic...so I reckon we need an Alex vs Mat track battle (we've had the drag race on his channel already...).

@@R03333 Relatively speaking yes, the gap will be smaller than on other tracks but the GT3 is still just faster. The Civic performance gets over-hyped too due to the Nurburgring time, since if you look at it on other tracks it's comparable to cars about 30s slower on the 'Ring. I don't think on any track over 250m long it can actually beat a GT3 ☺ It's still very fast of course, but a GT3 is another level.
