The heck is with this review, you’d expect going in with an unbiased opinion rather than saying “the fiesta is the best hot hatch. Can the i20N be the fiesta” it’s a different car that will have different pros and cons. I never thought having 3 different choices for an exhaust note would be a con because (stupidly) you can’t decide what mode you want to be choosing as you’re driving? How about wanting a quiet note in the early morning, or opening up the valve when you get in for a weekend drive. Might need to broaden your view a bit

Bit biased review but it must be vey difficult if you really like something ie the fiesta st. Price wise a new Fiesta ST3 with discount is exactly the same price as the Hyundai i20N at £23,000 (again with discount) - l think the looks, the fact it’s new on the market plus it’s 5 year warranty would swing it for me.

Not sure about the UK. But it has been confirmed that the Australian editions of the i20N are getting an overboost in "N" mode. From 275 nm up to 304 nm. Making the claimed 0-100kph from 6.7 secs down to 6.2 secs. And would also give more punch out of corners. Pricing as also being announced. With both cars will be around the same drive away pricing. We get the ST3 version only

It seems to be, and it is if you "over drive" it like they do a lot in reviews because that makes for good video and entertainment. But as someone who drives his MK8 ST in time attack events: It can be planted too if you trail brake it properly. I even put mine to -2 degrees camber front to get even more front bite... and it still can take a bit more, even though it already is really good at it. FWD setups just have to be very "eager" imo.

Anyone looking at this or a fiesta ST…. Test drove the i20N yesterday with the idea of throwing my money at them after getting out the car with all that I’ve heard, unfortunately that didn’t happen. It was great fun and the rev matching is addictive but the suspension is so harsh! it couldn’t be a daily unless you have ultra smooth roads (we don’t in the UK) its a real shame really as its the main sticking point. If your looking for a weekend car or you like occasionally going to a track then buy this and don’t hesitate you will love it but if you need it to also go into town or drive to work you may get a bit fed up with it. I tested the Fiesta ST as well and its definitely noticeable how more compliant it is, still firm but more tolerable day to day and still gave me the biggest smile driving, ordering my ST this week, im almost disappointed as i was really hoping to prefer the I20N.

i would consider the comparison more fair, if fiesta was using the stock dumpers and not coil-over ones. As we all know coil overs can transform a car, making it more comfortable for the everyday driver, and same time more sport by letting you change the stock camber, caster and toe numbers. Furthermore coil overs let you change both bound and rebound. Stock st dumpers are really annoying for everyday drive, and ford knows that, so to deal with this, they gave the 28.000 pounds edition, so as to keep this con secret. Finally, for the more ...punchy top end of the ford, i would like to know what boost the ford runs, above 6.000 rpms. I20N drops boost below 1 bar above 6.000 rpms (0,8-0,9) for long run reliability and to keep the engine strong. If ford uses 1.2-1.4 bar boost them in the long run i see a lot of engine funerals. That why hyunday gives 5 years warranty without miles limitation, and ford gives only 2 years. ( i speak for factory quaranties). Great small hot hatches!

I'm buying an I20N this Christmas and I kinda don't like how you judged Hyundai as Fiesta fan (as you said). You said fully loaded fiesta costs almost 29k which is 3-4k€ more than Hyundai and if you would have fiesta spected at 25-26k€ it wouldn't be as fun as i20N is which makes Hyundai much better when it comes to price/performance/features ratio. Then there is 0-100km/h which Hyundai can do 0.4 sec faster than fiesta, (I20N- 6.2s, ST- 6.6s) which is a lot and you didn't mentioned that either. You also didn't say anything about the looks of the cars because I20N looks much sportier and aggressive. Then there is difference between fiesta's 3 cyl and Hyundai's 4 cyl and if you would ask me or many car guys, just because of the extra 1 cyl and more reliability, many of them would choose Hyundai instead of Ford and that leads me to the next thing which is sound that these cars make( 3cyl will never have such an aggressive sound as 4cyl engine and that's fact). Then there is the clutch which I20N has hardened and Fiesta has not... For me is I20N real winner and that was just one sided comparison from his side (because he is fiesta fan) which could make people deciding between Hyundai and Ford lean towards buying ford which I'm very disappointed about.

Lastly - I must say, personally, I hate the two-tone colours nowadays - hate it!! The i20N should not have a black roof, there is already the red tints at the bottom of the car that make it look sporty, no need to have blue and black!! The i30N doesn’t do it, that is my only gripe - so for me the only colour I can consider with the i20N is black, which is annoying, because that Bronze colour looks really good too 😫

$29,000 for a 3-cylinder Ford Fiesta. $25,000 for a Hyundai i20N based on the Accent/Kia Rio. Unfortunately, not enough people in the US would buy this. They can’t even muster the enthusiast demand for the new Toyota Yaris GRMN and Honda Fit. In the US, the cheapest Ford Mustang is $27K, at $35K you can get a record breaking 306hp Honda Civic Type R or $30K for a 275hp Hyundai Veloster N. I guess the best thing to do if you’re super hatch enthusiast in America is to become a mechanic and build your own hot hatches 😅

Well the i20n comes with everything the top of the range ST does so comparably the i20n is cheaper you would have to buy the Fiesta st performance,

Ik im 11 months late but if you want the Fiesta with everything included bells and whistles its more expensive than the i20n. With the i20n its a set price though. Everything is included in the price so it hasnt got a cheaper option. To get it in the blue colour is 25,800 in the UK

One of the poorer review videos I've seen, seems a bit biased. I've had plenty fords in my time. The ST just looks like another fiesta where the i20n has at least tried to do something different and gives you plenty for your cash.

$29,000 for a 3-cylinder Ford Fiesta. $25,000 for a Hyundai i20N based on the Accent/Kia Rio. Not many in the US would buy this. They can’t even muster the enthusiast demand for the new Toyota Yaris GRMN and Honda Fit. In the US, the cheapest Ford Mustang is $27K, at $35K you can get a record breaking 306hp Honda Civic Type R or $30K for a 275hp Hyundai Veloster N.

The other thing is in much of the US the roads are too big and flat to benefit from a small car both for practically and fun, and the bigger is better mentality is very common here. Still as an American who loves small cars and hatchbacks I wish we got both these options.

UK car prices are always higher - we never pay that much for equivalent cars here. So the price would be MUCH lower than what U.K. or even European buyers are expected to pay. They have crazy taxes! What Ford need to do is bring back just the Fiesta ST - Ford Performance variant of the Fiesta hatch for the U.S. / Canadian market. Follow VW's lead on the new Mk8 Golf GTI. And Ford really needs to bring the new Mk4 Focus ST to our market - it would sell like hot cakes!

@@ervin7178 But there are still plenty of twisties here in the U.S. too. Plenty of market-share for Ford to dominate with the Fiesta ST and ESPECIALLY the new mk4 Focus ST here. Plenty like myself are looking for fun-to-drive daily drivers with 6 speed manual transmission and versatility in a hatchback body style.

Yes. They're different markets. American sports cars generally flop in Europe because of this. We want different things from our cars. The UK pays a lot for cars. Partly because we will.

Lol, you’re funny. You’re logic leaves a lot to be desired. Hyundai is the 3rd largest car manufacturer in the world way ahead of Ford , and it hired Bierman from BMW M division and also the guy responsible for Ford hot hatches with the 2.3 L engines. i20N will do just fine as it will improve every year. Numb nut back street drivers like you will always be wrong.

The I20N is a better long term buy than the Fiesta due to its reliability. The Ford ecoboost engines are very troublesome long term.

Since the Fiesta beats the i20N, can you do a comparison against the GR86 with the ST? Both pocket rockets with vert different approaches, will be interesting to see which one is more fun to drive! I wouldn't jump to conclusion so early and way RWD will win, because the Fiesta ST is quite some kit.
