  • In this video, I'm having a go in the Hyundai i20N. With small hatchback slowly fading away, can this 200bhp Korean hatch be our saviour?
    Watch the video to find out - enjoy.

    I'm not sure at which point in time I wasn't paying attention but one minute a brand new hot hatch could be had for less than £17k, now they're £10k more than that.
    Great video and these look like an absolute hoot to drive but even 2nd hand they're fetching daft money.

    You told me someting really important 'the bolster's could be a bit tighter'. This is massive for me, I can't fit in ST seats as I have a wide ribcage, no amount of dieting will change that. I had a Focus ST that I returned after 2 days due to issues with the seats causing shallow breathing. So these seats could work really well for me, great to know. Love your presentation style, I think you're a natural.👍
