    I am in Europe and bought mine in March this year. A Premium version with all the "extras" you could get. Black roof, Intense Blue Pearl color, BOSE, LSD, heated seats and all that jazz... It was already after Hyundai stopped accepting new orders for the production. So I got a brand new one that was on stock at one of the local dealerships. 7 months and 13.5 thousand kilometers later I can say it is a fantastic car for the price. I am very happy with it, love to drive it on weekends and I expect (and wish to be honest) that Hyundai will come to regretting killing the N division in Europe so abruptly and will consider reviving it.

    It's still for sale in Australia with an update model due soon. There are a few new cars in stock but most need to be ordered. PB, no extra. Bose standard. On the road in WA $39,430. Mine to that spec 18 months ago was $37,000 on the road in this state discounted. With the current exchange rate AU$37,000 = £19,115 and AU$ 39,430 = £20,370. Keep in mind that we don't get the heated seats or the heated steering wheel[I would love the heated steering wheel!] but we do get a spare wheel.

    I bought my PB i20N in April '24. No Black Roof or Bose for me. I agree that it's a fantastic little car. I wasn't intending to buy so soon but the announcement of it's discontinutation 'forced my hand' to some degree. My local Dealer suddenly had two examples on their forecourt and, after a couple of test drives, it was a 'done deal'. The i20N was the closest thing I could find with similar driving feel to my MK.1 Suzuki Swift Sport. It is significantly quicker and and more ecconomical too. The 5-Door layout is much more practical and rear space is infinitely better. The i20N is far more refined at Motorway speeds/capable as a long distance tourer. The suspension on the Swift was probably better on poorly surfaced roads - the i20N can be a bit crashy and bottoms out occasionally. The benefit though is the car corners with almost no roll and changes direction instantly. The LSD produces prodigious grip through/out of corners. It is 'laugh out loud' fantastic. Overtaking on the outside of roundabouts is almost becoming second nature. I tend to drive mostly in Eco and find this gives a better mid-range torque response. I'm not too interested in the pops and bangs from the exhaust in N Mode, so use Custom 1 with the Exhaust set to normal. I haven't made any really long journeys yet but I've seen a claimed 47 MPG for a few trips. Doing really short local trips (less than a couple of miles) and not allowing the engine to reach operating temperature registers sub-20 MPG. The trip computer is typically 2 MPG optimistic for journeys/average between refills. My calculated average is approx. 33 MPG. My only minor gripe with the i20N is all the overly sensitive electronic 'safety aids' (or often just plain wrong in the case of the speed limit recognition) that need to be disabled at the start of each drive. It's a shame these cannot be permanently disabled in one of the Custom Modes. Each journey therefore requires a bit of a 'pre-flight check'. I anticipate keeping my i20N for a long time. There just isn't anything similar available now. It's equally happy doing a school/shopping run as it is being a part time van carrying loads or tearing down some country lanes/round a track. It really is a shame that Hyundai axed the N ICE range in favour of the global EV agenda. Whilst the Ioniq 5N is a considerable achievement, I don't want such a big heavy car - nor to have to pay £65K to own one.

    Arguably one of the most beautiful cars on UK roads. I'm seriously thinking of changing my 70 plate Qashqai for one. How's that long and low front overhang when it comes to speed humps and driveway inclines? Looks prone to grounding, or am I wrong? Finally was there any rattles in the cabin? As I've read a fair bit about interior rattles. Regarding the chrome window surround, I like it a lot. It enhances the shallow windows, adding to a sporty look.

I still wanted a good looking car and the Mazda is very good looking, the sort of car Alfa should have produced to replace the Giulietta.

    For something a bit different, I've just bought the 3 saloon 2.0 e-Skyactiv-X in GT Sport trim! Has your car proven reliable so far?

      Not my car. Just borrowed it from my local Mazda dealer. 4 door saloon. Interesting choice. You lose the concept car coupe looks. They have a good reputation for reliability👍

      Sorry I missed that bit! I do agree with your remarks about the engine. Decent outright performance, not especially flexible. Mine has a small spoiler on the back to lift the otherwise "boxy" rear. On the motorway, 55-60 mpg seems easily achievable driven at the speed limit@@ChrisHooperOnCars

    Seats just look cool! You basically get a sporty, sharp looking car for (relatively) cheap. I got the FR version in red a few months ago and I admire the aesthetics every time I see it. I've noticed it gets quite a bit of attention from the ladies as well.

      Yes, they’re very sharply styled and the design is aging well. No woman has given me a second look in mine though🤣

      I think it's the red color that gets them, or maybe I'm just imagining things @@ChrisHooperOnCars
